Ember Shield buff or bug?

So I rerolled my DS toon as Pain instead of Thermal and noticed something upon hitting 12. I'm getting more from Ember Shield than I did in the past.

To recap people on how Ember works, it's an auto power the level 12 demon has that gives everything ally in range a RES buff. Players and other pets get +5% RES to S/L (and misc to other stats but I'll keep it simple). Your own demons get +10%. The Ember Demon himself doesn't get anything from the buff. The +5% includes the MM him/herself, meaning you get a piddly 5% RES buff from your demon. During beta for DS testing I suggested that the owner (and only the owner) gets the +10% version, just so it's a little more meaningful (bots give the owner 7.5% DEF after all).

I am right now getting 15% from my Ember Demon.

I have both a buff called Ember Shield, delivering the 5%, and Ember Shield Owner, giving 10%, for a total of 15%. ONLY I am getting this. I've checked other stats. My own demons get 10%, other players get 5%, and the Ember Demon himself gets nothing. I am however getting both buffs for 15%. I've dismissed, resummoned, relogged, and rezoned, and I always get 15%.

Is this a buff, or a bug?

I thought it had been like that since Demon Summoning was released. Looking through the wiki someone added the demon's powers (including that one) to the wiki on September 23rd. Checking the patch notes between the release of DS and that date I can't find any notes about adding it.

As far as I know, it's been like this since going live.

I distinctly remember it being only 5% at the end of beta, and I'm almost positive it was only 5% when I checked before on live. I always monitor RES and this is a reroll. It's also entirely possible I'm dumb, though.

ember sheild gives every one but MM a weak 5% res too S/L 6% F and i think 3-4% C but for MM the get a bonus res which is double the strength plus the other one i thins so MM gets around 15% to S/L/F/C which helps keep MM alive if you ask me and nice too have

its kind like bubble on bots or mezz prot on mercs
