Wait, are Ember Demon damage enhancements Schedule B?

I think I saw another post clarifying, with tests, that this was all just a display bug.
I'll try and take a look at my #s tonight.

Oh, thank GOD! I hope beyond all hope that the real numbers are wrong and my Ember Demon doesn't just suck. He's kind of like my puppy at this point. My... Disgusting brainless psychotic flaming puppy with half a bovine skull for a head. Really, I have a sneaking suspicion that the Ember Demon and the Hellfire Gargoyle are what make the set, because they're so very unique and so very expertly done.|

I sincerely hope that this is a display bug and not the actual numbers the summon is getting. On that note, do damage enhancements really enhance his damage resistance toggle? I haven't seen that before.

Sure you have. Well maybe not personally, but it happens. Pop a dam/range HO into a power like thermal plasma shield. ED capped res w/ just two slots and a handy range boost. Those HO's are also cheap too. Nice way to save slots on a therm.

Yep, it's a manifestation of an old, old bug.*|

They'll probably fix it by making the Resist non-enhanceable.*

Except it does. I just checked my Ember Demon, and it looks like his damage enhancements are only counting as Schedule B, enhancing his damage by 20%, instead of the requisite 33%. And since this goes for the Hellfire Gargoyle as well, I have to ask: Is this really true? Seriously? Am I really only going to see some 60-odd percent damage enhancement on my Ember Demon and Hellfire Gargoyle? Because this is bad. Really bad. And I just noticed it now, after playing with the thing for how long? How did this even go through? What's supposed to be my damage-dealer now? The Demonlings are minions and as such can't really compete, the Ember Demon and Hellfire Gargoyle have crap for damage slotting and the Demon Prince looks like he's half-damage, half-control. What gives here? What am I supposed to do? What's going to be dealing my damage? Pardon me if this sounds like a rant and a question I should have addressed in Beta, but HOT DANG! I hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm reading the numbers wrong or that they're not real, but this is not good. At all. |
Innate Damage resistance does not increase from slotting damage enchancers, purely display only.
Innate Damage does behave normally outside of the enhancment display's. Triple Slotting damage SO will net the usual 99ish% despite the display being capped at 66%.

As long as it works, that's all that counts. If it takes me making a fool of myself to get there, then that's just what it takes.Thank you
