Learned Spellcaster feat

Could someone explain to me how this feat exactly works? It says "Increase the amount of bonus damage Intelligence gives you by 1/2/3/4/5%.", but I just don't get it. Does it mean if we have 20 int what gives us 10% bonus damage, with that feat we will have 15% bonus damage? Or it just gives us 5% of this 10% bonus damage what would be quite useless?

    One among many, of the unexplained things regarding feats and skills.

    That's what the wording implies.

    Assumed it to just be 5% more damage, which puts it on par with the other options at that tier (and something I skipped).

    its one of those things that is unknown for sure, most races have something similar apart from rogues who have a feat with differnce wording and %s

    Based on the wording, I think it's 5% of your intelligence bonus, so in your example, 5% of 10%...which is just .5%

    This guide seems to confirm: http://guidescroll.com/2013/05/neverwinter-control-wizard-guide

    Would be nice if someone could do some real tests to confirm.

    Unfortunately I've taken it for granted and put my 5 points in there without even questioning that decision. I was disappointed later when I realized the changes are nowhere to be seen. My Int is at 23 atm and it yields 13% dmg bonus. Rolled several new chars and noticed something very rude :mad:
    • 15int - 5%
    • 16itr - 6%
    • 17imt - 7%
    • 20int - 10%

    The question stands: How exactly do you guys know this feat is or isn/t worth it? Especially with "spell tooltips bugged - not showing changes" problem still around.

    I have tested this.
    Checking damage of a skill that did 100 damage, adding 1 point increased damage of the skill to 101, adding all 5 feat points increased dmg to 105 so it gives strait up 5% extra damage period.
    The Guide is wrong, and the tool tip is misleading. It has nothing to do with intelligence, its just flat out % more dmg.

    Awesome. Thanks alzitar! Looking through the forums, it looks like this was fixed in a past patch.
