Shadow Demon companion bugs

walker

Hey, I've been running tests with a mythic shadow demon companion, and have found some serious glitches.

I equipped the companion's utility companion bonus, called "Shadow Demon's Presence", on my paladin tank. Twice or three times a minute it should allow a deflect that "does almost no damage" to you, and that also reflects 38% damage back to the source of the deflected attack.

First, the damage reflection is broken. Small seemingly fixed amounts of damage (for example 1508 base damage) do show up in the combat log. That damage is not 38% and in fact does not vary at all with the strength of attacks deflected. Please fix this.

Second, I can't see that the damage deflections doing almost no damage is happening at all. You can see on the stats page that deflect severity maxes out from the combat bonus, but no super-deflected attack ever actually shows up in the combat log. Perhaps something is happening but it's not generating a log note? Please fix this problem too.

These problems are consistent tested across combats with various enemies, with and without the underworld mount/companion bonus, with and without active companions, and with and without the shadow demon itself as active companion.

Much appreciated,
Walker

I believe these numbers are 'post-mitigation' meaning that the percentage reflected or deflected is based on the damage actually received after you've minused the effects of all damage mitigation such as your Defence and Awareness stats.

Hi, I did check for that, couldn't find matches to any attack in the log using pre or post numbers. Plus as I mentioned the damage didn't change despite attack variety.
