Arcane Wave - Incorrect damage in tooltip?

Hi, I’m level 20 and I unlocked both Arcane Blast and Arcane Wave. It wasn’t until I started using AB that I realized the damage between the two wasn’t all that different, but I thought it should have been since AW is a PBAoE.

I took a look at the tooltip and, at 20 with my stats, AW says it does 699 damage, yet it hits for around 300ish (give or take). AB’s tooltip says 214 but also hits for around 300ish (give or take). Considering the base damage on the two tooltips is vastly different, they definitely shouldn’t be hitting for nearly the same damage.

Is the tooltip incorrect? Is the damage bugged?
