Why do all of the passives dealing with poison on druid use base damage meanwhile barb a class with 4 weapons bleed is based on damage dealt as well as being super conditonal unlike barbs

Sure feels like it, been wondering about a lot of druid things lately. Such as lightning storm duration temper. It’s like druid has a bunch of stuff that is just useless even when fully geared for.
Is that why the wind shear poison is actually good?
Didn’t toxic claws work like that originally before Werenado was abusing the poison build up? All I know is it’s really annoying how the Druid poison archetype is dead. The may as well rework Bane and other poison glyphs since the poison ticks will never be significant. Blurred beast also a real pain to still use. I guess Stormclaw is based on damage dealt but you really can’t scale Shred all that high.
*technically berserk ripping is base damage too but Bash has that dumb multiplicative temper making the base really high.
Ripping is damage dealt not base and can also be scaled
Are some websites not correct with the aspect being base? Most websites still list it as base, but haven’t actually tried Barb this season cause playing multiple Druids.
Nvm you right base damage dealt probably probably so good because its 60% on a 2h and gets buffed by other damage
Then bash temper raises base substantially. Heck Druid could do toxic claws to 80% with right amulet but won’t do much if base damage of skills low .
if you consider that you have to crit to even trigger claws then the dps generated by this is even lower
The irony being, that it’s based of the BASE damage of the hit and you have to CRIT. So you’ll hit with let’s say 10,000,000 damage and it will calculate the poison from something like 5,000,000 (just an example numbers).
So even at 80%, it’ll work at a lower capacity.
Realistically, if you’re building on crit chance you’ll want to also boost your crit damage (envenom/the 30% boon etc etc) and that aint going to scale toxic claw, so it’s counterproductive.

Druid got screwed hard on this plus the nerf to Masochistic which the shapeshifter skills all have bad lucky hit and then also need to crit too.
