Ancient Knowledge Passive, For Flame destruction staff Bugged ?

I've been doing some tests and it seems the 10% extra single target damage is not applying to Flame staffs after the patch on xbox. Tooltips stop exactly the same on single target abilities regardless if you use a flame staff or not. Damage seems abnormally low. Yes I know CP got nerfed but the tooltip loss is MASSIVE. Was wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

    I can't say for XBox, but someone on PC EU was saying the same thing. So I went and tried on a 3m dummy. A basic light attack with no gear and just an ice staff was doing 1643. I swapped to an inferno staff and it did 1716 (+4.44%) at rank one and 1789 (8.9%) at rank two. The numbers are a bit shy of the percentages I would expect, but I'm inclined to say that has something to do with the calculations for CP as I didn't do the tests without removing CP first. The passives are increasing damage for their respective staves, but I haven't put in enough time to test thoroughly on whether they're increasing it "correctly."

    Again, can't say for console.

    That sounds about right. Damage done stats add together before being applied, so it won’t do 5%/10% exactly unless you have no other sources of extra damage done (no Minor or Major Berserk or Slayer or any of the applicable 6% CP stars - damage taken on target stacks separately, though).

    That’s why the 6% stars aren’t really a full 6% in practice either. Same with those Berserk and Slayer buffs.

    If you perform the same test (more or less) that I did above, what do the numbers say? (enable combat text -> outgoing damage if needed)

    Doing light attacks on a 3m dummy, observing and showing only non-crit hits:
    • Without Ancient Knowledge passive: X damage?
    • With passive rank 1: X damage?
    • With passive rank 2: X damage?
