Martial Artist Hollow Focus

Hollow Focus isn't granting charges during map boss fights when culling with Killing Palm. Current supports on killing palm is charge profusion 2/thrill of the kill 2/rapid attacks 2. Hollow focus supports armour break 1/oberabundance 1/cooldown recovery 1

Also weird targeting issues with the bell spawns. Especially when trying to cull when boss is standing close to the bells. It's like your always magnetized to the bells.

Seems to be fairly inconsistent however. I've noticed it occurs on bosses that have a scripted entrance/intro dialogue far more often. During these "cutscenes", it would seem your ability to generate charges by culling bells is disabled, but this perhaps doesn;t renable once the boss is active.
The moment the boss dies you can begin generating charges from culling bells again.
Didn't notice this at all throughout the campaign, only on map bosses.

Some specific map examples:
Sandspit - Lengthy boss intro - Bug DID happen
Plantation - No boss intro - Bug DID NOT happen
Digsite - Boss dialogue intro - Bug DID happen
Bloodwood - can't quite remember if there was an intro here but bug DID NOT happen.

If the disabling of charge generation whilst bosses become active is intentional, it does seem to be a strange decision and just encourages annoying unfun behaviour like pre stacking/buffing outside the boss arena.

Update: Further inconsistency

Fighting the boss of CLIFFSIDE, there was no/limited intro, but the bug DID occur. I culled several bells at the start and gained no charges.

Then after around maybe 10-15 seconds into the fight, I was able to generate charges by culling bells again.

Most of boss fights doesn't let you use hollow focus bells to generate charges and\or prepare staggering palm.

Half of ascendancy usefullness is bugged.

Yea I can confirm targeting is weird on the hollow focus bells, I use hand of chayula or shattering palm and they always target the bells first even when my cursor is across the screen.

+1

I can confirm that the targeting on hand of chayula always prioritizes the bells rather than the boss.

Can confirm weird hand of chayula targeting - it switches to nearly spawned bells even with namelocking

I've tried to change Cursor tracking settings to "with held input" but it didn't help.
