Possible bug - Greatstaff of the Crone and stormstrike - video included

X-posting here from the EU forum as someone told me to post here.

I’ve noticed a possible bug (perhaps intended - if so the wording needs to be made more explicit about the scaling, imo) with greatstaff of the crone and stormstrike/claw.

Essentially my stormstrike tooltip damage is ~50% of my claw tooltip damage. My greatstaff is 132%, so we should expect a 0.5 x 1.3 = ~0.65 stormstrike damage to claw damage ratio. From testing I’m actually getting between 10-20% of my claw damage.

I’ve tried to remove confounding variables here, such as multiplies/affixes that would apply to claw and not SS, but all I see is a +65% additive physical damage, which should not account for anywhere near that discrepancy.

My intuition is that the stormstrike that is casted from claw through the greatstaff crone ‘aspect’ is not getting scaled by things that scale skills - and only the ‘base’ damage is applying, much like how paingorgers work to my knowledge.
