Hey guys, I don't post often but I had a question. Ever since I've been level 40, I've had a feeling crushing blow just wasn't hitting as hard as it should, so I did some personal testing. I tested against mobs, from level 40 to 50, geared and ungeared, and it seems to me that crushing blow does the same damage to a mob regardless of how many stacks of sunder it has. I felt like the bonus damage just wasn't being applied. I've tested around on normals, strongs, elites and champions, all with the same results. I know that without combat logs, it's hard to prove, but I feel like I'm right.
Now, thinking I was bugged, I asked a guildy of mine to do the same tests, to make sure it wasn't just me. He tried it in hard modes, on normal mobs, and we even dueled to see if it worked in PvP, but no, it was doing ~1050 dmg with 0 sunders, and about ~1100 with 5 sunders, and I take it that the tiny bit of extra damage is due to the 20% armor reduction, and not the actual mechanic of the ability.
Seeing as googling didn't prove useful, I wanted to ask if anyone else had noticed this?
Thank you
