    Not sure what they've done to it, or if it's just bugged but I've taken it off my bars for those tunes that were using it.
    Total trash this patch.

    I was just testing it on my mDK yesterday. Noticed the same thing. I was getting consistent hits of 5028 on the trolls in Vvardenfell. I was using a charged inferno staff to ensure burning procs and never had a change in damage from 100% health to 0%. They had burning applied to them the entire time as well.

    Where is the 300% bonus damage specified? Legitimately curious about the amounts expected from this skill, I've never seen it go up much at all.

    In the skill description on your bar, not in the skill tree. It is "up to 300%" like most executes so it should ramp appropriately.

    Just tested it and it is definitely not working as an execute nor is the extra dps from burning applying.

    On PS4/NA, and I thought I just didn't know how to use the skill properly, until I saw this thread. I can say that Frost Pulse works, you do get the Minor Protection buff, but Flame and Shock both appear to not be working as intended.

    The 300% relate to the burning dot.

    Extra damage relate to extra damage to burning enemies, not the direct cast itself. It's a garbo execute - at full power it barely does more damage than a whip/force pulse while costing twice as much.

    Even if that is the case, I'm still getting no bonus damage even on the burning DoT. The execute mechanic is not working in any way.

    Did ZoS ever confirm whether this is bugged or working as intended?

    Considering the sorry state of the game, not working = working as intended

    Someone in one of my guilds tested this rather intensively and the bonus damage is a cute semantic trick.

    The 300% execute scaling only applies to the extra damage that you do to enemies. It is coded as a separate tick of Direct Damage called Pulsar Afterburn and it does indeed exhibit the promised execute behavior.

    At extremely low enemy HP levels you can achieve about ~50% more damage from Flame Pulsar courtesy of the Afterburn tick (e.g. Pulsar hits for 10k and 300% Pulsar Afterburn hits for 5k, making for a 15k total hit).

    So, there it is. Its utility seems rather limited to the non-magDKs out there hoping for a universal Magicka execute.

    What @YandereGirlfriend wrote is accurate. I disagree only with one thing, it's not a semantic trick, the spell ingame specifically says that execute bonus applies only to the "Additional damage" and not the base one.

    Simply explained it works as follows (numbers are only indicative)
    1. You hit a target with Fire Pulsar and it gets damage by the Fire Pulsar for let's say 1000 dmg.
    2. You hit a burning target with Fire Pulsar which causes the target to take 1000 damage from Fire Pulsar and another 150 damage from a separate attack called Pulsar Afterburn.
    3. You hit a 1% hp burning target which will cause it to take 1000 damage from Fire Pulsar and 600 from Pulsar Afterburn (150 increased by 300%).

    Its "up to 300%" and not "will deal 300%" so if your RNG is bad you will not get 300%. You might get 150%.

    Its a garbage execute. Destro skill line needs a good execute for magicka builds without a class execute.
