Electrocute Support Not Building Up Electrocution with Shockburst Rounds

I'm supporting Shockburst Rounds with the newly patched Electrocution support gem on my mercenary, but it's not building up electrocution at all. Putting Electrocution support on Galvanic Shards causes electrocution buildup to occur just fine, so the error must be with Shockburst Rounds specifically. Maybe Electrocution support is only affecting the pulse that occurs when an enemy is shocked or electrocuted and ignoring the damage of the regular hit? I'm not sure even the Shockburst Rounds pulse supported by Electrocution support builds up electrocution...

I tried shooting an enemy with some electrocution buildup on it from my Voltaic Grenades with my Electrocution supported Shockburst Rounds. Electrocution buildup fades away as I shot said enemy with my Shockburst Rounds, so Electrocution support is definitely not having the desired effect on Shockburst Rounds.

Added comment: I didn't notice anything in Shockburst Rounds' description on whether or not it's supposed to be able to cause elemental ailments on its own or not. If the skill is meant to have no inherent inability to cause elemental ailments, please add that note to the skill's description. If not, please enable Shockburst Rounds to have the ability to inflict elemental ailments.

Same issue. I don't know if it's intended or it's a bug.

I was having the same issue but realised that the skill has a tag called "payoff" which means that it cannot inflict any ailment that it directly interacts with. Since Shockburst rounds interact with both shock and electrocute, the payoff tag makes it so they can't inflict these specific ailments.

It's a bit misleading since it only mentions shock when you open up the skill details but when you mouse over the payoff tag it makes sense.

I think Titanno is right.

Electrocute is extremly useless for Galvanic\Shockbusrt build now.

Will have to rethink my passive tree now, cause there's no way to effectivly build Electrocute now.

I electrocute everything almost instantly with galvanic. I dont think its useless tbh.

I just figured out that while Herald of Thunder also has the payoff tag, it only interacts with shock so you can slot electrocute support into it and it works. For bosses you can use voltaic grenades that have inherent electrocute buildup, slot in payload support that gives them a chance to detonate twice in exchange for longer cd but you probably don't want to be spending too much time worrying about grenades anyway with this build.
