Shred & Swipe broken?

Both my Shred and Swipe abilities are doing less damage then the tooltip says they should. I’ve compared them with all my addons turned off, with different gear equipped and they still don’t match.

Shred:
Tooltip -3403
Actual - 2382

Swipe:
Tooltip - 2127
Actual - 1489

I submitted a ticket, the response I got back was “No known issues, use the submit a bug tool in game.” Problem with that is they don’t provide any feedback on how to fix the issue.

Any of you experiencing this or have any ideas what’s broken that I might try to correct?

I’m seeing this as well on Shred

Without a bleed on the target
listed as 3500
hits at 2400-2900

With out two wild fleshrending traits
Listed as 2900
Hit’s for 2031-2044

With out two wild fleshrending traits but with a rake bleed
Listed as 2900
Hit 2500-2800

With out two wild fleshrending traits retested for long duration
Listed as 2900 start / 3100 with 20 stacks of Archive of the titans
Hit’s for 2031-2428

Edit: On the last test there is also frothing rage proc which changes the tool tip to 3400. I think that proc is what accounts for difference from test one. It looks like not only is there a problem with the difference between actual and listed, but Archive of the titans isn’t being applied as well.

Something is VERY VERY WRONG.

Guys, mobs have armor. All physical damage abilities are reduced by ~30%ish except bleeds which go through. This isn’t an 8.1 change.

Ferocious Bite doesn’t get reduced.

Ferocious Bite does get reduced. It might just not be as evident if you’re testing on target dummies because it deals 100% more than the tooltip displays if you have extra energy (this is mentioned in the tooltip).

That would definitely explain it. :slight_smile:

Didn’t logs used to state how much was absorbed?

Armor isn’t “absorbed” it just is calculated before the damage gets applied.

If the ability does 1000 damage against 0 armor, it just does 700 damage against 30% armor and 900 against 10% armor.
