Impact Shockwave question

simple question, does the shockwave created by impact shockwave actually hit the initial monster as well?

the description says "Supports Melee Strike skills, causing them to create an Aftershock that damages enemies around the target when they Heavy Stun an enemy."

damages enemies AROUND the target? but does it actually hit the target as well for the same dmg as the initial hit?

Atershocks deal damage in the same area as the initial impact. Generally, strikes have small AoE, so unmodified aftershock would be non-effective. Impact Shockwave overrides the default AoE of the aftershock and makes it circular, that's why it says "around".

I haven't tested that, but nothing in the aftershock tooltip indicates it can't hit the same targets.

I highly doubt it doubledips.
Unless there's a notable delay involved.
