How is it calculated?

Specifically, does it 'store' the damage similar to impale in a way, or does it not store anything and calculates everything else the point of damage?

Example:

  • Use Earthshatter
  • Use intimidating cry
  • Use ground slam to trigger Earthshatter spikes

Would this look like

  • Earthshatter
  • intimidating cry
  • Ground slam * 2 + Earthshatter spikes * 0.7
    or:
  • Ground slam * 2 + Earthshatter spikes * 2 * 0.7

?


Example 2:

  • Use Seismic cry
  • Earthshatter * 1.3
  • Ground slam * 1.3 * 1.3 + Earthshatter Spikes * 0.7 * 1.3
    or
  • Ground slam * 1.3 * 1.3 + Earthshatter Spikes * 0.7 * 1.3 * 1.3

The Earthshatter spikes shattering is part of the attack which created them. It is exerted by the warcries which exerted that attack.

In your first example what actually happens is Intimidating Cry sets off the spikes, but assuming you wander away from them to use the warcry then come back to ground slam them for some reason, Earthshatter was not exerted - the warcry can't retroactively exert to an attack you already performed. Ground slam is exerted.
