Aurora Javelin still bugged, despite what the patch notes say

santos.vellab16_ESO

So before 1.1.2 Aurora Javelin was bugged: the maximum damage difference between absolute max range and point blank was around 24.5% instead of the stated 40%.
This is a bug I, And I'm sure many others, have reported several times, including exact numbers and screenshots.

Now, 1.1.2 came around, including this:

Templar

Aurora Javelin: Fixed an issue where Aurora Javelin was adding less damage than the intended additional 40%.


I logged on to test it, eager to see my favorite skill in the game and the cornerstone of my build finally live up to its full potential and here are the results:

Damage at max range: 335
Damage at point blank vs the same target: 269

For a damage bonus of 24.5% instead of 40% again.

Now I genuinely love this game but I'm quickly losing faith in the devs' ability to get anything right.

Are you sure you're checking this correctly? This patch was on the Test Server for weeks; I'm pretty sure the tester would have noticed if the fix didn't actually do anything.

First I'm not sure how I could be checking this "incorrectly".
Before patch, using both FTC and CLS to record damage, the max damage bonus I could get was 25%.
The devs aknowledged this was a bug and put a "fix" in 1.1.2
After patch, using the same addons, having the same stats and on the same target, the max damage bonus is still around 25%, so nothing has changed.

Second, this bug only affects Templars using Aurora Javelin and actually bothering to check numbers, which has to be a very very small fraction of the PTS population.

Third, there were much more obvious bugs and broken skills/passives that were reported by the PTS testers several months before release and still aren't fixed. So, yeah...

Zenimax isnt like other companies. They let paying customers beta test their patches after deployment on live servers
