It's by the title
And it goes based upon the thing's max hp
I don't remember what is immune or not anymore

Now if this skill is the first skill to hit a mob, the effect is pretty obvious. But if a mob is already at, say, half health...how does the math of this work out? So say I am fighting something with 70,000 health. I currently have it down to 55,000 health and then I hit it with Minor Mangle. What happens? Does the mob lose 10% max health (so, in effect, does the skill do 7,000 damage, taking the mob from 55,000 down to 48,000)? Does it not do any additional damage, but simply caps the mob's health at 55,000 maximum for the next 33 seconds (so if I stop doing damage and the mob regens health, it only hits that 55,000 ceiling)? Something else?
Also, I have heard that some "bosses" are immune to this. Does that mean only trial bosses, or would it apply to dungeon bosses? Public dungeon bosses? Delve bosses? Overland world bosses? Anyone know?
I feel like there's more to it... or design is flawed.
I have a hunch that it's effect is based somewhat on the staff used too, but not enough data to tell. Also note it's limited to 8 effected enemies as it falls under aoe damage.
There' are a few world bosses this effects , in fact there's 2 dungeon bosses i know off handed effected. Note.. you can skip them if that's really the case usually.
Something seems to be happening based on penetration to... or so I think. Sometimes the exact same mobs are effected by this skill, but other times not, so else could it be but ally using peneration skill?
Think minor mangle works with charged staffs? That's my question for this thought on the thread
