Demons Damage/resist bug/feature

All,

As a recent returner after I18, I see that that the damage / resist bug for the tier 2 demon pet is still there. Are there any plans on fixing this?

For those not aware... damage enhancements in the tier2 pet also increase the damage resist of ember shield. (feature)

The bug is that damage enhancements are capped at ~60%ish instead of ~95%, like resist/defense enhancements. (verified in both the enhancement summary and combat attributes)

I bugged this in I16, and again at I17 launch... was surprised to see it still there after I18 as well.

Any word?

So, going by that post, could you slot 3 Ribosomes into the demons and then get ED capped resist and end reduction and 60% damage - then 2 acc/damage and then have one slot for whatever. Since the attacks would accept the end reduction from the ribos, it would also get the DR which would instead apply to damage.

Not absolutely efficient since you're using 20% DR instead of higher damage numbers to build damage, but if you want both, it seems to get the job done with the fewest slots.

I've tested the Ember Demon and it's just a display bug. I'm sure you can do some odd things with Hami-Os, but with normal SOs or IOs (including sets), damage slotting does not actually boost the strength of Ember Shield. It will look like it in the powers display, but the actual resist values won't go up unless you slot resist enhancements.

FAR too many non-50 alts to name
