There are 3 bugs with the Scratch ability on the Spray Scratch version of the skill. The animation, the amount of CC hits, and an issue while Input Buffering/Holding keys. 

Bug 1 and 2 (Spray Scratch Animation / CC Hits)

Awakening and Succession are both affected by this in primarily the same way, but there is one difference.

Awakening Tamer

Spray Scratch when the skill is OFF cooldown is doing a different animation than before. It is now doing a shorter distance and smaller Visual aoe scratch. As shown in the video when the skill is OFF cooldown it does the wrong one the shorter one. The correct Spray Scratch it is suppose to be doing and what it was doing previously is the Spray Scratch that is shown when the ability is ON cooldown. Another issue with this version of Spray Scratch it only has 1 hit of CC, while the correct animation has 2 hits of CC.

Here is an old RBF clip from May 12, 2025 showing it working correctly as proof, this is a reupload the original stream is in video description.

Succession Tamer

Succession Tamer, when Spray Scratch is ON or OFF cooldown it uses the same animation. However, when hitting a target, it plays the wrong animation. Unfortunately, I don’t play Succession Tamer, so I don’t have a clip of it, but as shown in the AOS clip above, the animation should be consistent when hitting a target.

Bug 3 (Input Buffering/Holding)

WW (Forward Evasion) into Spray Scratch no longer works while holding the WW keybind or just holding the W key. This used to work before the update. This is a big deal since it allowed buffering the ability to make it come out as quickly as possible.

Thank you in advance if you fix these issues.

This post is very clear and easy to understand. The issue is clearly apparent in-game and is a repeatable bug. This issue heavily affects tamer's gameplay and needs to be fixed as soon as possible!!!

The Spray Scratch bugs are seriously affecting both Succession and Awakening Tamer gameplay. The animation changes, the reduced CC hits, and the broken input buffering all disrupt fluidity and consistency. It was working fine before, and the issues are clearly demonstrated with video proof. Hoping this gets acknowledged and addressed soon.

These bugs are insanely impactful on Tamer and should be fixed as soon as possible!! I would also like to add that on Succession Tamer holding WW and pressing RMB makes Lightning of Earth go into cooldown with no animation and no effect, instead of triggering Scratch as intended!!

its crazy that the devs have reverted 2 different sorc nerfs now over player complaints but we cant even get our BUGGED ABILITIES fixed 

Thank you Llenn for documenting these bugs so well, for the sake of alll tamers these things are PIVOTAL and we sincerely hope they can all be dealt with as soon as possible, especially with the class tourney coming up as well~

Also thank you Luumiy for pointing out that ww+loe bug as well~

In addition to both of these, our grab also is having issues as well as Legendary Beast Power (when it is used in the air, it puts us immediately onto the ground now which it did not do before) I will likely make another thread to address these topics as welll~

They should fix this not only because I said so, but because it would take like 5 minutes of actual work to fix. It worked before the patch, then after the patch it was broken. It's simple. It should be fixed.
