I could swear the damage is based off the solo-player enemy HP while in parties.
That is correct.

even though it's supposed to be based off enemy HP which should scale with the group size.
Being in a party increases the monsters' life. It doesn't increase the damage output of any player skills (if it did what would be the point?), so would be unbalanced for it to do so for this one.

Another problem with this skill that I encountered in group-play was shattered corpses.

After some testing I discovered that literally any amount of cold damage will shatter corpses, if the killing blow was a crit (seems to work this way, at least).

Even 1 point of cold damage. How many players have at least 1 point of cold damage?
This is not the case. Freeze duration is based on the percentage of the target's life dealt as cold damage, and if the duration would be less than 300ms it is ignored entirely, and no freeze occurs (and thus no shatter). You need to deal at least 3% of a monster's maximum life as cold damgae to freeze it.
If you're interested in the maths that leads to that number, a freeze lasts 100ms for every 1% of the target's life you dealt as cold damage on the triggering hit.
Freezes of less than 300ms duration are ignored, so 300ms is the shortest freeze, which requires 3% of life to be dealt as cold damage.
It explodes corpses near enemies it can hurt with the explosion.
An interesting argument. I'll bring it up with Carl.

Would really like to know if elemental dominion works with detonate dead . Did anyone test it?


If spell damage mods don't effect DD, then i guess Ele Dominion wont work on it?
Correct.
