Flawless Dawnbreaker display bug?

I just morphed dawnbreaker to flawless dawnbreaker. Flawless dawnbreaker claims "weapon attacks deal an additional damage when slotted." its a passive.

HOWEVER, when I slotted this, my weapon damage stays at 208 when my bow is equipped and at 220 when my daggers are equipped. when i use charging maneuver (which has a weapon power increase), weapon damage on my character screen increases to 245 on my daggers, so I know I am below a hard cap.

Is this bugged or does the weapon damage increase from Flawless Dawnbreaker not display?

    I have the same issue...so it might actually be a bug.

    thanks much. wish I could confirm. I got my weapon damage to 260 with a potion last night, so, clearly the hard cap is pretty high

    Actually you'll find with a little testing it's working perfectly, exactly as it should.
    It's just a little odd at what it does.

    I simply hit a skeever a few times (light attack)with it ON = 137dmg, 205 crit.
    Took it off my bar, light attack 125 dmg, 187 crit. 10% less.

    Whats confusing is the ability says "weapon attacks deal 10% increased damage when slotted". (numbers above support that)

    What it doesn't say is that it increases your weapon damage value or power.
    Many spells, weapon and class abilities scale off of Weapon Damage. If Flawless Dawnbreaker buffed that stat, its bonus would be HUGE.But that's not what it does. It just makes light and heavy attacks 10% more powerful.

    That's actually incorrect. Look at snipe or venow arrows damage with it off and look at it with it on. It applies the 13% damage to the tooltip of the skill rather then the wep dmg on your character sheet making it much better because it bypasses soft caps.

    The wording says increases weapon attack's damage by X% not that it increases your weapon damage stat.
