Is Power Overload bugged?

Hey all.

Just a quick question for @ZOS_GinaBruno and @ZOS_JessicaFolsom, do you know if Power Overload is currently noted as bugged?

Myself and a few friends tested it, both on live and the PTS on recommendation of @Asayre, our results were as follows:

Overload: 12,788 non-crit damage.
Energy Overload: 12,788 non-crit damage.
Power Overload: 12,416 non-crit damage.
Expected Power Overload Damage: 13,172 non-crit damage.

Now Power Overload is meant to do 3% more damage than Overload however based upon these it seems to actually be doing 3% less damage than the unmorphed version of the skill.

Is this a known issue/known bug? If not is there a reason for this?

Cheers!

    This is a known bug as far as I know. The damage bonus for power overload does currently not apply.

    The problem is @Dracane, it's worse than it not applying, it's subtracting the 3% it should be adding. In reality it's giving -3% "bonus" so it's better to take Energy Overload.

    Ahahahahaha, classic ZOS coding. -3% instead of +3%

    Remember back when Nords -6% dmg taken passive was actually a +6% dmg taken one? Guess the same guy is still working @ ZOS...

    This 3% barely makes a difference anyway :D it's nothing compared to what the bonus used to be.
    But it should get fixed anyway

    I disagree, 3% is a noticeable difference.

    Right now I can do 30k DPS just by spamming overload light attacks, 3% is very nearly an extra 1k DPS which over the course of a fight can make the difference.

    It definitely needs fixing though. :).
