Qonor Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) Each stack (up to five) of static charge should result in 6% more damage for discharge's surging charge effects. Below are the damage ranges I'm actually seeing in Discharge's tooltip. 1349 - 1413 = stacks @ 0 (base damage of discharge) 1349 - 1413 = stacks @ 1 (should be 106% of base) 1510 - 1583 = stacks @ 2 (should be 112% of base) 1591 - 1667 = stacks @ 3 (should be 118% of base) Not only is the tooltip broken for the 1st stack, but the actual damage is as well (i.e., I hit for 1403 with one stack of static charge).

Qonor Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Really, no replies?! Have my Deception brothers given up on the spec for PvE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qonor Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 To say this in a non-math way...if you get unlucky in your rotation and only have one stack up when discharge is off cooldown and ready to be used, it's a waste to use it. You might as well have just used it off cooldown with 0 stacks. And since it's a dps loss to wait for more stacks, you're forced to wait for two stacks.

ForeverYoung Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) Hmmm, tooltip now says nothing about discharge When your Surging Charge deals damage, you have a 100% chance to build a Static Charge, increasing the damage dealt by the next Surging Charge by 6%. Stacks up to 5 times Edited May 28, 2012 by ForeverYoung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qonor Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) Hmmm, tooltip now says nothing about discharge When your Surging Charge deals damage, you have a 100% chance to build a Static Charge, increasing the damage dealt by the next Surging Charge by 6%. Stacks up to 5 times. The tooltip is known to be wrong and should say discharge. See for yourself. Watch your damage range of discharge change from 0 to 2, to 3, to 4, to 5 stacks. But from 0 to 1 there is no change. Basically, if you happen to have one charge up, it will give you the same damage as if you had none. And since it's best to use it on cooldown, it's very common to have 1 stack on. Edited May 29, 2012 by Qonor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qonor Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 I'm surprised there is no fix for this in the PTR notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
