[Not a Bug] Call of the Brotherhood

Here's the situation:

I have two CotB rings and am running both Herald of Thunder and Herald of Ice. If I use both CotB rings, I can trigger Herald of Ice but cannot trigger Herald of Thunder. When I switch to one CotB, I can trigger both Herald of Ice and Herald of Thunder.

My conclusion is this: If Herald of Thunder wasn't working as intended, I wouldn't be able to see it getting activated with one CotB ring activated. However, because that isn't the case and I can activate HoT with one CotB, it follows that the issue is likely with having multiple CotB equipped.

Hey there, thanks for the report. I've passed this along to get looked into!
This is not a bug. Shock duration is determined by how much lightning damage you dealt to the enemy, compared to their maximum life. By converting all lightning damage to cold, you're dealing no lightning damage, so your shocks have no duration, and thus don't apply.

But how does that make sense at all with the property on the ring that all spells have a 100% chance to shock? By that logic if I used something like Three Dragons and only fire spells, because I'm inflicting no lightning damage I would have no shock duration, no?]

EDIT: Never mind, I misread how the build was working.

In order to shock, you need to do Lightning Damage.
Three Dragons bypasses this by saying "Your Fire Damage can Shock but not Ignite".

Call of the Brotherhood says "Your Spells have 100% chance to Shock against Frozen enemies".
You still need Lightning Damage in your Spells for it to Shock.

I get that now but the verbage of the ring made that unclear.
