Paladins aura of courage not correctly calculating damage.

trialbyfire001 · May 2017

Hello,
Incase this hasn't been noticed yet, Aura of courage bases damage off the attackers hp and not the paladins hp (tooltip says the paladins hp)
I tested this out by having a GWF hit a dummy within my aura and checking the damage and then having them equip the HP boon and then attacking the dummy again. His courage damage went up.
I did the same testing with the Paladin changing his Hp and no change was made to the GWF's damage via aura of courage.

Please fix.

1) Logged into paladin lvl 70
2) had friend log into GWF lvl 70
3) Went to dummy had GWF hit dummy with aura of courage (kept number)
4) Had GWF hit dummy with aura of courage and HP lvl 10 Boon (Kept number)
5) Had Paladin activate HP lvl 10 Boon
6) Had GWF hit dummy with aura of courage (No HP boon active on GWF) (Kept number)
7) Had GWF hit dummy with aura of courage (HO Boon Active on GWF) (Kept number)

Expected Results:
GWF Aura of courage damage should increase when Paladin slots HP Boon, damage should be based off of Paladins HP.

Actual Results:
GWF aura of courage damage increase ONLY when gwf slots HP Boon (No change when paladin changed his HP) This leads to damage being based off of the GWF hp and not the Paladin HP

Yeah it's been this way since the class was released, I'm not sure if it's wrong or the tooltip is as it does kinda suggest it's all based on the Pally's HP:

" You and allies within 30' of you deal 1% of your Maximum Hit Points as bonus damage."

It would be a much better buff if it was all based on the Pally's HP as they generally have a much higher amount than those they are buffing and would level the playing field.

Actually it's even worse then that. If you turn the log on and go to the stronghold (Solo) and attack a Training Dummy it does No Damage from your Aura Of Courage and so far the highest I've seen (From My Paladin with 109,000+ hp was 3,500) Considering that I have rank 4 It should have been 1090 + 10,900 + 10,900 for a total of 22,890 So to get a total of 3,500 is Not Anywhere NEAR what they promised. And again this was only when I fought Real Opponents not Training Dummies.

You're misunderstanding what they mean by an additional 10%. It's not 10% of your HP, it's an extra 10% damage on what it's already giving you. So 4 points is actually 1.3% of damage.

I believe this is buffable (but don't quote me) but 1.3% of 109k HP is 1417 damage. You actually did 3.2% of your HP. However, it is actually really hard to get reliable damage statistics on xbox, we don't have the ACT tool that PC players use.

Can we add this “bug” to all the fixes down the line by chance?
