Boulder, Hurricane & Dolmen stones DMG bug

PC Bug Report
1

Hi everyone,

I would like to report an issue I’m having with Boulder (from Druid) when used with Hurricane, Dolmen Stone and Mjolnic Ryng.

As per my dolmen Stone, the damage of my boulders are supposed to increase by 29% (actual stat on my Dolmen) damage per Boulders active in my hurricane.

My boulder stats are at 151 753 damage per hit (as shown on skills with cursor overlay).
I cast hurricane, no change into boulder damage, second boulder cast at 166 929 and third at 182 104, fourth at 197 279.

That’s an increment of 15 175 per boulder active, so 10% of original damage per boulder, what about the other 19% from the Dolmen Stone ??

Another issue, I’m using it with the Mjolnic Ryng, which is supposed to increase my damage by 100% (as per stats on ring) when Cataclysm active.

When I start the Cataclysm, initial boulder is at 303 507, so it doubles up the initial boulder damage (and when active, my Attack Power double up as well). The second at 333 858 then 364 209, capped at 455 261 with 10 Boulders in my hurricane.

It’s a 30 351 increment per hit, once again 10% only. And it capped at 455 261 with 10 boulders in hurricane and cataclysm active. Which is weird, where is this number coming from ?

The Dolmen Stone says; “Boulder’s damage is increased by 29% for each one currently rotating”, so the maximum damage capped should be of 100% initial damage + 10*29%, so a total of 390% of initial damage.

390% of 151 753 is 591 836, plus the Mjolnic Ryng supposed to double up this amount when Cataclysm is active, so why is it capped at 455 261 when cataclysm active?

Why are my boulders capped so low, I don’t get it, can someone tell me if I’m mistaken in my understanding of the aspects of these items or is it a bug from the game ?

I really hope I can get an answer from a support team from Blizzard to guide me on this one, I really don’t understand the math there, seems way too low for me.

Thanks.

Ya got to read how damage is applied in this game; I’d go look at maxrolls website that details it out and has the formula. Its rather complex, but when it has “+29%” damage, that doesnt actually mean it takes your overall damage and increase it by 29%. There’s a damage “bucket” system and maxroll goes through how each type of damage is applied. Might take ya a few to wrap your head around it, but once ya get it, you’ll have a better idea of which stats will give a larger boost than others. Example being if an item/aspect says it will increase your crit damage by 20%[ x ], note that [ x ], it will actually increase the amount of crit dmg by 20%. If theres no , it will simply add 20 to your crit dmg. So if you have 980% crit damage, now you will have 1000%, where as if it had the [ x ] after it, it would add (.20x980=196%), so you would have 1176% crit dmg. But you’ll have to read how everything ties together and see the formula.
