(SOD) Malevolent Tier 3 Pc. Bonus Bugged

Caster DPS Malevolent 3 set bonus tooltip claims +50 damage to subsequent spells. However, in its current state, after proc it is consumed by the next spell that hits the targe. So firstly, it is only benefiting one spell, which, seems to be a bug, considering it states “… cause your target to take up to 50 increased damage from subsequent spells”. Secondly, it is being consumed by other players. Finally, it is currently so underuned, players are using gnomer tier sets, or 2/3 set, as they perform better. I do not think this is intended.

As for a fix, the 3 set should work as the tooltip states, after proc, your target takes +50 damage from you only, until it is dead. If this is causing issues, a temporary or permanent spell damage bonus would be a safe secondary fix.
This would make players want to use the new tier set and make the achievement of getting it feel better.

Hey Logik,
This is not a bug. The set is working correctly.

It is the same as the 6 piece of Mage T3:

It is also worded exactly the same and behaves exactly the same.

So there is precedent of a set working in this exact manner in Vanilla.

Using 3 pieces of a tier is not always necessary/tailored for your spec in Vanilla.
Fury Warriors during vanilla wow used 0 set bonuses for increased damage (only ever T2.5 bonus and it wasn’t even for damage, and Wrath Battle Shout swap).
Off pieces being appealing is not inherently a bad thing, or having a set that you only use when you solo.
