Ember Demon, is it a bug?

So I just hit lvl 24 and I bought all single origin damage for my pets. I've noticed one thing and I don't know if it's a bug or by design.

If you put damage SO in your lieut pet (Ember for example), the % shows both Damage and Resistance and with 3 SOs, the damage % is only at about 64. Is it by design?

I think Demons are too strong at the moment so if that's by design, then that's cool. I am just curious that's all.

And if it's by design, the +Damage enhancement increases Ember shield's % too?

I've tested my lieut pet's damage and it is indeed lower, which is fine because the lieut buffs and heals too.


What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

completely aside from your question, I find it funny that I ran right past you last night and am now reading a post you wrote. Only reason I remember is because of your toon's crazy look and name

The information that has been passed around, sorry I don't have the citations: is that damage resistance is a schedule B enhancement and because of the interrelation between damage and damage resistance, the display is showing a schedule B 2 effect on Damage. With 3 SOs of damage you should effectively have >90% even though the display is an error.

The real trick is getting >90% of damage on the tier two demons since they like to suck down the endurance like crazy in their auras after level 32. Effectively I have 2 Acc, 3 Dmg, and 1 End Reduction in them. Ember demon is worthy of every enhancement.

I thought an End Red was needed too with these guys due to their end drain issues? I'm just now starting to slot them up.

Pretty sure this is a visual bug only and the actual numbers being used in combat are the ones you'd normally expect from the enhancements slotted (i.e. 3 damage SOs are really giving the usual ~95% damage enhancement, and are not enhancing resists at all).

There's a thread here with some discussion and testing of the issue.
