Skill damage independent of weapon damage?

[Physiologic]

With the latest update (67256) it looks like skill damage remains unchanged if you switch from weapon to weapon, or from one weapon to no weapon. Just fyi.

Yea my skill damage right now is completely garbage.

15-25 damage using lvl 6 mind wrack? I think i'll stick to just shooting with my guns.

It doesn't seem to do that damage, though (15-25 dmg)...the damage appears to be around the same as weapon damage. I thought that the skill damage would be ADDED to your weapon damage, but that doesn't seem to be the case either. Mind Wrack still does much higher critical damage, though - they just left that out of the skill description.

Ill just reply in that thread that Samhayne opened up in Technical issues, since this is a technical issue.
