Lightfoot Thief active bonus

So, question is, does anyone knows, is this bonus works at all (or is it like blacksmith, working but useless). I found on several threads references to bug report regarding thief but I couldn't find it (except the one for the insignia bonus).
I don't know if I'll have time to test on preview before the weekend so any info is welcome :smile:
If anyone have some act log or any type of number related data please share your knowledge :smiley:

    About the same on my rank 30 Thief.
    His typical Sly Flourish attacks hit for either 100ish or 700ish, depending on which swing it is for some reason.

    So yeah, he sucks.
    My Fire Archon, on the other hand, hits for anywhere from 2-4k per Immolate, which is every few seconds (not *too* much slower than Thief attacks).

    Don't even get me started on Shadow Demon dps in comparison.
    The disparity between companion dps is crazy.

    And the active bonus is crappy... 100 damage ticks

    I hate paying taxes! Why must I pay thousands of dollars in taxes when everything I buy is taxed anyways!

    Funny, on target dummies I noticed ticks of about 600 damage each to the ones on the side.

    This companion was number 1 before the rework of the bonding bonus. back then, his teleport and quick attack ment a lot of stacks. it was the companion people used to get 9 stacks and more.

    now, you just get 1 bonus and no stacks, so speed of attack is now longer a big deal. people now go for archons with three attack runes and underdark rings, like fire or air.

    If you are looking for a hard hiting companion, try the shadow demon, he has some nice hits in the 100k range.

    I tried few minutes last night, still didn't managed to get number higher than 100-ish. I'll have more time on Saturday, but I believe that is a fixed number (like in case of a blacksmith), don't think that gearing him up and leveling to legendary will do much help... although I'm interested in damage output on fully geared and leveled (doubt that he will outperform a demon, he still hits like a truck, no mater the slower speed).
    Lightfoot Thief AB will do more damage at higher levels because the damage is based on the companion's level. Mine is epic.
