I just tested this out on warden.
Equip a fire staff and a lightning staff and at least one AoE and one single target ability to test without a source of minor berserk.
On each bar the corresponding abilities are buffed(lightning buffs AoE and fire buffs single target)
Now equip a source of minor berserk. I used Bird of Prey.
The numbers on both types of abilities will stay the same regardless of which staff is used as long as minor berserk is being applied.
I think Ancient Knowledge is coded to give the same buff, minor berserk, but only to either single target or AoE depending on the staff type used and therefore cannot be applied further with an actual source of minor berserk.
This means that my ice staff is equal to fire and lightning for dps as long as I have minor berserk in my build.
Edit: this actually makes ice the best staff type for warden for pure single target dps

✭Edit: I tested this on my Warden and can't replicate your problem. Can you do some more testing and give precise repro steps?Edited by Gnortranermara on March 3, 2019 12:33AM0 -

The question is if it's a bug and not just an issue with a lack of info in the tooltip for Ancient Knowledge0 -

It can't be the tool tip because minor berserk affects all damage but the passives only apply to specific types of damage.1 -

✭I didn't have a high enough level Warden to test on so I used a magblade instead. My results showed that minor berserk functioned normally, both tooltip and actual damage increased when minor berserk was applied. This was tested both with and without points in the ancient knowledge passive. For actual damage tests I removed proc sets and used non-elemental damage attacks to avoid status procs, Swallow Soul for single target and Twisting Path for AOE.0 -

Were the results the same for both type staves?0 -

Never trust tooltips. Always test on a dummy.1 -

Yes. Maybe its Bird of Prey that is broken, since like I said I tested with a magblade.Edited by Conduit0 on March 3, 2019 10:43PM0
