Orb of Power mods not working

I have 2 mods equipped on my helmet: Harmonic Siphon and Kinetic Syphon, however, none of them are generating any orbs (for me at least, I don't know about other players). What am I missing? Kinetic Syphon should work with the weapons on my first slot, correct? I've killed 3 enemies with a single pellet from a grenade launcher and no orbs. I didn't see the log (above the Super bar) saying anything about orbs generated either. And breaking combatant shields with matching element is not generating orbs either. It does generate an elemental well from my mod on my class item, but not orbs of power. Could anyone please help? Am I missing something? Are orbs of power generated only when the weapon is masterworked AND the mods are equipped? The description of the mod isn't clear about that.

  • What weapon are you using for each mod ?

    I think Kinetic Syphon only works with truly kinetic weapons, not Stasis afaik.

  • So, yes. I've properly tested your theories. Thank you. I can get the Harmonic Syphon mod to work, but not the Kinetic. At least not by killing as rapidly as before when it was Masterwork. I used a Scout Rifle on the first slot that kills enemies with one precision shot. Several red bar enemies in a row, not a single Orb.

    Humm, good points. I can't test your suggestions right now, I need to step away for a while. For the kinetic weapons I tested Witherhoard, Aeger's Scepter and Syncopation. They are either not "pure kinetic" or Stasis, so good point. For the shield breaking mod I tested with my Enigma glaive but maybe the kills were not "rapid" enough? Thank you for the tips, folks. I will try again as soon as I can.

  • + Tested with a masterwork weapon, no orbs of power.
