This means that weapon swapping, losing/gaining buffs, losing warcry exertions, etc after the initial impact will not affect the damage of the aftershock.
- Accuracy and Critical Strike: Accuracy checks for the aftershock and initial impact are independent. It is possible for the initial hit to miss but the aftershock to hit, and vice versa. However, if the initial impact is a critical strike, the aftershock will crit too (the damage is again still based on the initial hit - losing/gaining crit multi after the initial impact will not affect the damage of the aftershock). If the initial impact doesn't crit, the aftershock cannot independently crit.
- Area of effect: Modifiers to AOE affect both the initial impact and the aftershock, making both larger or smaller - the aftershock, having a larger base AOE, is affected more.
