Infernal Cry "Extra Fire" buff not being recognized as a Warcry Buff

The Infernal Cry buff : "Buff grants gain 5% of Physical Damage as
Extra Fire Damage per 5 power, counting a maximum of 25 Power" doesn't scale with warcry buff effect sources despite being the "buff part" of Infernal Cry. This bug has a significant impact, particularly on chieftain builds.

This interaction has been broken since 3.25 (I think) and has been reported multiple times. Since those threads are now archived and the bug is still in the game, I am recreating the report for visibility.

Also, the Escalation notable (which grants increased damage for each second affected by a warcry buff) doesn't work with Infernal Cry :

My assumption is that the "Extra Fire Damage" part of the skill isn't considered by the game as a warcry buff.

Thanks if you can look into this !

Just confirming this still doesnt work (the escalation node nor the warcry buff effect).
Bump. Both the warcry buff effect and the Escalation notable are non-functional with Infernal Cry.
