Damage modifiers have no impact on infused alchemist bombs

#1 Post by goodguyty »

Hi,
damage modifiers don't raise the damage of infused alchemist bombs. Not even the modifiers from the infusion talents themselves raise bomb damage. I suspect this is because alchemist's infusion are dazing lightning (instead of lightning), blinding acid (instead of acid) and so on.
This can easily be recreated by just channeling your staff to a different aspect and then hovering over the alchemist bomb's tooltip. To check it on infusions, you have to check the tooltip before raising your alchemist infusion's talent level and then check it again after you do so.

I think this is just a display error, since the "dazing lightning" is still affected by damage modifiers, as you can see in the case of Archmage: any lightning damage from the Air tree is actually dazing lightning, the daze chance is just 0 without Tempest.
