Just an FYI always felt like execute was just hitting like a wet noodle so never wanted to use juggernaut or the execute talents. Now I discovered why. The 30% buff is only on the tool tip but not applied to actual damage.
So put in a bug report in game and on forums. Getting this fixed will really help make these other talent options impactful and good for single target damage or fights.
The expected value of a 20 rage non crit is 14,531. The tooltip is for a 40 rage execute; a 20 rage execute will be half of the tooltip and then reduced by 30% from armor. IIRC, it scales linearly with each 1 rage basically adding another 5% damage, but the tooltip assumes its spending an additional 20 for 100% extra damage.
Execute hitting for 14k after a 30% buff seems super off. It should be hitting for 114k that would be good. If the buff is applied they need to buff again by another 100% till execute is button worth pressing.
It was hitting for like 9-10k at 20 rage before, I think I was doing max 30k crits, now I’m doing 40k+. Sounds about right to me, but I do agree it still doesn’t hit hard enough for it to be worth using outside of single target bosses
