Increases the damage of the mobs towards you :p
Shes just joking, I think that its a bug. I dont really know its hard to tell if its increasing the damage, because the stats dont go up. Hopefully they fix it, if its a.bug:)
It is a bug, it does not increase skill damage. 5% would be pretty easy to see on lightning bolt.
It's visual bug. Doesn't show on character sheet, but it actually increases your damage. Devs have said this long time ago. Same goes with pets that have happiness bonus which increases damage. It only doesn't show on stats but it's working correctly.Quote:

Yes it was, in about four different threads in the BUGS section.Quote:

lets address the real issue here and ask why dont they already fix that bug about passive dmg skill not showing on the avatar already if this bug has been known for a really long time. they've fixed other bugs why not this one.
im no programmer but it cant be that hard to show my dmg% increase on my avatar.
That depends on how it works. If they are actual +% of true damage and not the damage stat then there may be no easy way to have it reflect on the avatar screen.Quote:

I do most of my tests in the King Dude story quest, because you can exit out before completing the quest and run it over and over again. On my rogue with no dmg increase, Aim Shot damage averaged ~410 taken by Spiteful Baron Sue without any critical. After adding +5% passive damage, Aim Shot damage average ~450+ taken which is closer to a 10% increase in damage taken. Skill damage is a calculated formula from base damage, bonus damage, armor of the enemy, and so on. I haven't run the math to attempt to figure out the relationship of all the factors... yet.
That sounds like a job for physiologic - What's he up to these days? Is he in AL? His guides are the best...
