As I was playing earlier I noticed a weird discrepancy between the MW tool tip and the actual damage put out by the ability.

Shattering one clone 25 times (no critical hits were counted in the total) averaged very close to the damage in the tool tip

Shattering 2 clones 25 times also yielded an average damage for each clone shattered very close to the tool tip.

However, when I shattered 3 clones, the average damage per shatter and the average damage overall was about 1/2 the actual damage listed in the tool tip.

Edit: I should also note that shattering 3 clones gave me equal or less damage overall than shattering 2.

I might be crazy however and would like someone else to test and confirm this.

I also noted that the Mental Torment trait wasn’t functioning correctly but I will need to test more to be sure.

Scaled down to 51.. on dredges..

Shattering 1 illusion did 310 damage.
Tooltip: 280

Shattering 2 illusions did 420 damage.
Tooltip: 378

Shattering 3 illusions did.. well, 1 clone did 180ish, other 2 keep crit’ing, but I’d assume it’s the same damage each, so around 540?
Tooltip: 492

I don’t have any pts in domination, so I can’t check for the trait and I’m too lazy to go back to a town for now.

I’m only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand.

I did some testing as well. Level 80, power 916, vs heavy golems using scepters:

Steady Weapon
1x 49
2x 38 per hit
3x 33 per hit

PvP Weapon
1x 386.5
2x 299.5 per hit
3x 260 per hit

As reference: Tooltip
1x 280
2x 378 in total
3x 492 in total

So it looks like the tooltip is messed up in two ways:
1. The tooltip damage from mind wrack isn’t taking into account weapon damage, even though mind wrack is a weapon attack. Also, the internal weapon damage mind wrack is using for its tooltip is really weird (average weapon strength 604 at level 80? It should be either 581 or 638.)
2. The scaling with phantasms is wrong. It looks the 1x tooltip should say 244 instead of 280 at level 80.

Basically, mind wrack does twice as much damage with 3 phantasms as with 1, and it scales with weapon strength. The tooltip doesn’t reflect that.

edit: Mental Torment was working fine when I tested it today.
