Tectonic Slam of Cataclysm still bugged with generals cry

Neither the damage nor the AoE/amount of branches changes no matter the amount of endurance charges as long as the skill is triggered with generals cry.

Both actual damage (tested ingame on a boss) as well as the tooltip dps stayed the same at 0 and at 10 endurance charges while using the skill with generals cry, self casting the skill works as intended and increases both AoE and tooltip dps based on the amount of charges held at the time.

I have found no mention of intentionally disabling the charge interaction for generals cry clones and the skill used to be bugged in the same way for self-cast but that has since been fixed.

And since a similar skill like Consecrated Path of Endurance works in basically the same way and the AoE, actual damage and tooltip of that skill go up based on the charges held while using generals cry i assume that it is a Tectonic Slam related bug and not intentional.

confirm this too. there's another thread about it. no word from GGG whether it's a bug or a feature.
It's working as intended, convoluted, but intended.

Each clone uses a copy of your skill once, including all of temporary buffs that apply to you at the moment of use.

Consecrated Path and Tectonic Slam work differently related to charges and that difference comes into play with general's cry

Consecrated Path buffs the skill itself based on number charges you have, so clone's copy gets buffed as well.
It also has this part about consuming a charge to bypass CD, but this doesn't matter for clones because they have their own cooldown not tied to yours.

Tectonic slam consumes endurance charges when used to boost this specific skill *use*. So when a clone uses a tectonic slam it tries to consume endurance charges from the actor using the skill - clone, not you. If your clones would somehow get endurance charges - those would be consumed and skill use would be boosted appropriately
