Savagery Questions

[system]

So is the damage break down tool tip showing the “max” weapon damage savagery does at max charges once a charge is applied? The physical damage component is higher than a default attack and bumps once a charge is on. Even the very small amount of fire and cold damage from some gear increases with one charge. However, it does less damage than a normal default attack at charge 1. The default weapon also seem to get a bump in physical too with one charge though… Is the tool tip just broken? The physical damage in the tool tip is mostly weapon damage, right? Shouldn’t that start at 30% and build with the charges? why is only the “buff” part changing?

So skills that use “% weapon damage” but are not WPS will not have that portion affected by savagery, but will gain the lighting and bleed buff? But with blade arc, the physical still jumped in the damage tool tip…

I’m still just missing something others are picking up on? I get that it should affect WPS more than Blade arc as WPS modify a default attack… I’m just not seeing the affect in the tool tip…

Do you have storm touched, that causes savagery to raise your physical damage slightly. The sheet dps for savagery isn’t really that correct, I think it doesn’t factor in the weapon damage being multiplied by the bonus %. I think it only calculates your weapon damage at the 100% bonus level as long as you have one charge of savagery up.

Yep, tooltip DPS for Savagery just assumes it’s a “normal” attack, that deals X% weapon damage (where “X” is %weapon damage listed in Savagery description, 150% at 16 level), regardless of charge bonuses affecting it. Dont trust that tooltip, it’s very misleading.

Thanks for clearing that up! It was making no sense to me! Seems like it is broken because the bleed and lightning damage changes, so the weapon damage would too…

Maybe it was designed that way so people would know better what the skill will do with max charges as weapon damage should be much more than bleed and lightning part? That way someone doesn’t look at it and say, this skill sucks because the sheep DPS is so bad with 0 charges… I don’t know…
