Aura Buffs Do Not Function on Ps5

After many hours of play with 3 builds Ive finally noticed that Aura Buffs are not working, Herold’s and other buffs that cost spirit. For Instance my lightning arrow ranger, not once has lightning struck from the herold. My explosive grenade merc not once has my Herold of ash exploded. Perhaps Im not triggering but Im watching DM,s level 15 lighting arrow and the Herold trigger is fairly consistent. So I know its not my 37 lvl not triggering the buff.
Has anyone else noticed this?

I've noticed this as well and I wasn't sure if it was my build or if there was a genuine bug. I'm also a merc playing explosive shot/gas grenade/explosive grenade, but I never once had herald of thunder trigger lightning.
My Rates (as of 9/14/2014) are:
1 exalt:1 divine:9 gcp
1 gcp:2 regret:3.5 chaos
1 chaos: 1 scouring: 2 fusing: 2.5 alch
Also, always looking to trade for chromes! 8:1 chaos
Did you enable the aura in the Skill Bind menu? I think it defaults to off.
Good Idea but yes the buff is on and my clarity and life regen supports seem to be working but not the Herold itself

I only use Herald of Frost so i cannot vouch for the other ones but it works fine . As for other spirit skills i do use , or tried using , everything works as well . But there is some shenanigans bugs and so on when you start using a build based on switching weapons , so i will encourage you to do this :

Is the icon of your Herald of whatever appears above your hud ( every running passive skills have one ) ? If no go to your auras , switch every thing OFF in both weapons , exit the menus and switch it back ON again . Maybe you had some additional cost to spirit that deactivited the skills .

If the icon does appear above your hud , the Herald does not work because you are not procing it : afaik you have to kill a shocked ennemy for it to proc so either you are not shocking them because you electrocute them instead or you were using the skill gem that make your Shocking skill stop the building of that ailment or whatever other reason there is to it .
