The tooltip is lying, it likes to do that quite often.

It's worth noting, the counter for Blight's debuff Damage is perfectly accurate, as is Hit Damage for any Skill that Hits. Just don't look at Hit Damage (the DPS display only counts Hit Damage) for pure DoT Skills :/

Assuming an enemy with zero resistances unaffected by any buffs/debuffs. And not counting conditional modifiers (e.g. Hypothermia), even if they always apply (Doomfletch's Prism). Also any form of resistance penetration. And so on.

It is "perfectly accurate" in so far as it accurately calculates all the factors that it chooses to take into account. However the number is in no way representative of what your skill will actually do to a given enemy, aside from the most trivial cases.

It is listing the Damage you put out, not the Damage your enemy takes, so of course it doesn't account for modifiers that rely on enemy factors 'n all of that shit. It shows what it is designed to show; it's only horribly inaccurate if you assume it does far more. Same reason PoB is nothing more than a hypothetical.

Doomfletch's Prism is uniquely bugged due to it using the same modifier as its predecessor; it technically is a random modifier, it just always picks all three options. Wow. That's exactly one highly specific scenario :/


Hypothermia, Doomfletch and Pen all can never apply to Blight's DoT anyways, which is what I explicitly commented on >.>" But fine, just ignore that. Not like context matters.

I don't think we're disagreeing here.

Then why are you even commenting at all.
