I think you misunderstood this idea behind that change. Let me explain: AotJ gave ownership to the person casting it first. A Healfirebrand casts AotJ and a cFB casts his AotJ 1 second later, now all allies have 5 stacks of AotJ that they will apply over the next 5 seconds (due to the icd). All of this damage would go to the healbrand. The healbrand just stole the cFBs AotJ. This was not really an issue before the May 11th patch because AotJ had no icd. AotJ would get applied nearly instantly and it was very difficult to "steal". After the May 11th patch they introduced a 1 second icd on AotJ stacks. Lot's of people complained about AotJ needing to count for the individual caster. The June 8th patch was supposed to fix exactly this but nothing changed in game. So could you explain why suddenly AotJ would behave this way without any note in the current patchnotes? Not really. So you can assume it's a bug until the devs confirm it was an intentional change and not a bug.

Do you have a source for that? It was not mentioned in the current patchnotes. There are plenty of new bugs in this update so until they confirm this was an intentional change in this update I wouldn't assume it is. Venoms worked the same way as AotJ. Why would this skill specifically be changed without mention in the patch notes?

I completely agree. Thanks for writing this.

The tooltip of the trait Lethal Tempo mentions a damage bonus but it doesn't specifically say strike damage like all other strike damage traits normally do. So it should either work for condition damage too (could also make for more interesting builds) or get changed to strike damage.

Very well explained. Ashes of the Just deserves attention. I really hope a rework of the skill could create an interesting rotation for both 5 and 8 pages. It always felt weird to me that the most damage from Tome of Justice should come from giving allies attacks that apply burning. I would love to see a rework of the skill or a nerf and switching the skill 5 spot out with a stronger version of another Tome Skill.
