Primal Scream Broken?

[JP457]

Have a 29th lvl monk currently in the Fury of the Wild ED. I hit Primal Scream and I get the sonic burst animation but my STR and CON don't go up +5. Whats the deal?

Primal Scream is a Rage effect.
Anything that cannot be used while raged cancels rage effects.
Things like Precision and Combat Expertise are obvious culprits.
I don't remember if Rage uncenters, which would make monk stances stop rage effects too.

Primal Scream : Nearby allies are raged gaining +[3/4/5] morale bonus to Strength and Constitution, and suffer a -2 penalty to armor class

it seems allies get boost, but not you

Primal Scream is a Morale bonus which is blocked by defensive stances; this includes Mediation of War, IIRC. Try toggling off MoW before using Scream, then toggle it back on. That may work.

Primal scream is considered as a rage type.
Some stuff prevents rage.
Defensive stances themselves do not prevent rage, even if some do. It should be in the description if if does.
Meditation of war is no longer a defensive stance.
In your case, most likely Combat Expertise.
It’s possible to turn the ability off, use primal scream and turn ability back on, keeping the buff. That is however not WAI and considered a minor exploit.
Rage will not make a monk uncentered. Being tired could lower your strength to the point encumbrance makes you uncentered.
