Dongdiddler Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hey, I'm fairly new to the game and in the process of levelling up my 2nd char, a Vanguard that's currently 26 specced into shield. I've noticed that Ion Jolt procs from Ion Cell is doing FAR less damage than the tooltip states. According to the tooltip, the proc should be doing 226 damage, yet when I hit Stockstrike, which has a 100% chance to proc the Jolt, it's only hitting for 63 extra. This is a consistent thing, I'm not just looking at fluke resists every once in a while. What's the deal, why is Ion Jolt doing less than 1/3 of the damage it's supposed to? Does it do horrible damage for everyone or is there something bugged about my guy, I haven't noticed any other threads about this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tootzi_ Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I think its bugged.. atleast some clarification from the devs would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hizoka Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 its also energy damage. energy damage is mitigated by armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphras Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 By 73%? I think either the ability or the tooltip is buggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaigen Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I think it's a tooltip problem, honestly. If you look at the damage Shadows get off of Combat Technique, it's right in line with the observed damage we get out of Ion Jolt, whereas if we got what the tooltip says it'd be much higher.

qwinnet Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I wouldn't expect it to be a significant damage contributor. It's just designed to keep a DOT up on the target to help maintain aggro when switching targets and allow HIB to hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exphryl Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=317743 Have a thread in the BH Forums I started with some videos/information (since it's the same ability we deal with) Something does not add up with the ability and we have yet to get a single dev clarification on it.
