But I don’t believe the Sinerat’s Flames boss modifier power works in conjunction with the ugly bastard helm for barbarian. After extensive research and testing I have come to this conclusion that I do not receive a 25%x damage increase.
The tooltip for the modifier suggests an increased elemental damage of 25%x. While the power is applied to your character it will show in your damage modifiers “Damage with fire” -increases your fire damage dealt. This includes both DIRECT fire damage and burning damage over time. Make note of the word DIRECT. (my fire res is 70% and I have the boss power leveled to max/20 so I receive the 25%x fire damage bonus according to the tooltip)
In the tooltip for the ugly bastard helm it states "While berserking, your DIRECT damage dealt is converted into fire.
You deal 96%x increased fire damage(that’s the value mine has).
All of this suggests the boss power should give me a 25%x fire damage increase and since all of my direct damage is fire (I have an aspect that keeps me in berserking as long as I have 40 fury) I should see a 25%x increase in my damage but my damage ranges are always the same with and without the boss power modifier equipped.
Nice little oversight by Blizzard methinks. It would be cool if you could FIX THIS for us ugly bastard helm enjoyers.
FIRE DAMAGE. DIRECT FIRE DAMAGE. ON BOTH TOOL TIPS. WITH THE X SUGGESTING MULTIPLICATIVE NOT ADDITIVE.
