Instead of providing the 25% damage increase as stated by the tooltip, the artifact provides 20% dmg increase.

If someone knows how to link the image into this thread, it will be much appreciated.

So as you can see, 23:35:45 is the first Forgemaster's flame (FF) after SSC is used. The damage is 12391.7k with crit and 6k without crit.
SSC ends at 23:35:55. The next FF is at 23:36:06 without SSC buff and does 5007.3k without crit and 10340 with crit. Do the maths and see it for yourself.

This is tested on preview only, but i am 100% sure the live version of SSC is basically the same and hence has the same issue.

EDITE: Just tested on live and yep, it gives only 20% of dmg unless i am testing it wrong, so any other testers would be appreciated.

Did you use a weapon with constant damage to test buffs?

I used the wooden weapon with 1000 consistent magnitude damage. I also took off my ebony chest and primal gloves and any buffs from my class powers that would increase my damage gradually i.e. per stack etc. So yes, the damage was consistent throughout the test, but someone else confirming this would be appreciated.

how many additive damage increases do u have on your char, that might explain why it. Since they changed buffs to be additive, it could well be that because of existing buffs, the effectiv value of the buff is only 20% and not 25%.
Could also be a bug tough. Thanks for reporting.

i'll have to check that, but i have one sniper's perk, one encounter perk, iron rusting shoes and 3% dmg from the shirt and Batiri.

When i get back home, i can try testing with no dmg buffs.

1000 x 1.14 = 1140 3+3+3+5
1000 x 1.39= 1390 3+3+3+5+25

1140 x 1.2 = 1368

So ye, not bugged. Just the additive buff formula. the more percentage buffs you have, the less they actually give you

Yes, tested with no buffs and i am getting 24-25%. Just didn't know how the formula worked, will be vary of testing anything with any dmg buffs in the future. Thank you for your time and i apologise for the inconvenience.
