The damage is fine. I have tested it before; it's easy to test yourself as well. Just try it with and without conc effect and you will notice the difference.

The actual damage is calculated as you play, and it depends on what monster you are damaging, and a number of other factors as well. Getting the tooltip info correct for every situation and every skill is impossible.


If it is impossible to get the tooltip info correct how is it possible to get the damage correct? They both go through the same calculation in the begning. Just damage goes through extra step of mitigation that is all
the tooltip is correct, the same goes for the information in the skill describtion.

the tooltip is the initial hit. you cloud is not affected by the initial hit. inside the skill describtion, you will see "deals X chaos damage per second". this is the damage the cloud is doing. so, if you swap in conc effect, this number goes up. the initial hit is not an aoe, so the tooltip of the skill will not increase

we are talking about the aoe from the get go. It does not change, as I mentioned before
Concentrated Effect: Concentrated Effect will decrease the size of the AoE and increase its damage. However, due to the nature of the skill and the wording of its modifiers, the damage increase will not appear on the tooltip. (cit. Wiki)
