Maybe I'm reading something wrong. This text for this claims it stores up ALL dmg taken for 6 second then releases it with a 36% increase (in my example pictured below) up to the cap.

Now, the way this reads to me is, if I did say 1000dmg in the 6sec, it should explode for 1360dmg.

At one point I had tried looking at it as defensive where the char takes 1000dmg in 6sec then the enemy gets hit for 1360dmg.

I've not really been able to get the numbers to remotely match up either way. If this is just heavy attacks, or just Dawns Wrath skill, it wouldn't really be all dmg. Even if you didn't do any dmg for 6sec then it all hit in the explosion it would make sense. As it is though, I'm just not understanding.

    I screened an example where I fired one heavy attack right before PotL exploded and that was the only dmg within the 6sec.

    As you can see, the heavy attack did 1961+142=2103
    2106*36%=757.08
    Should have been 757+2106= 2863
    Actual = 621

    621 is 29.48% of the 2106 taken.

    I suppose with a dmg of 2106, it could be doing 36% or 757dmg then being reduced by 18% to 621. In this case it should read "... storing all damage taken and dealing 36% of the stored dmg when the effect ends"

    I actually did search, but I missed the one you linked there. Most of the ones that came up were from pre1.6. There was one from like March 13th but it was slightly different and had no answers, so I didn't want to hijack their thread. Thanks for the link, try to assume less though. there's a saying about that.

    Well, it's either a bug in tooltip or bug in skill.

    TBH, I suspect it is tooltip wording problems the more I think about it. Using math I did in that thread you linked:
    Presuming my example with a 4315 cap and it doing 36% of damage not damage increased by 36%, I'd have to do 12000dmg over the 6sec @ lv31 or 2000dps to get cap

    If it actually did the stored damage plus 36% more you'd only have to do 3200dmg to get 4352 (just over cap) which would be 533dps which is incredibly low.

    In the other thread noted above, Gary said he would look into it. That was on March 27th. Has anyone heard anything since then?
    Templars are 'just slower... by design'
    Yes, Gina actually said that (at least regarding Rushed Ceremony) right here:

    Tooltip in PTS has been updated to say it only releases 36% of stored damage.

    Tbh 136% would be way strong, and not make much sense given the cap on it.
