Smoke Assault (Beastmode Version) Does Half Damage

[Soilder.3607]

If you enter Beastmode with the Smokescale pet, you should notice that the two unique skills it grants you, Takedown and Smoke Assault, will always list the same exact damage value in their tooltip. Therefore, each strike with these skills should deal roughly the same amount of damage. However, this is not the case. Smoke Assault is consistently doing around half the damage as its tooltip would suggest.

Notice the damage difference in the combat log.

You know the Tooltip doesn’t take into account Armor/Toughness values right?

I appreciate that you commented on my post without reading it's content, but I accounted for what you are saying when I showed the damage by both skills in my screenshot. You see, Takedown clearly does 1164 damage against the light golem, while smoke assault does 600-700, all critical. These skills, once again, share the same exact tooltip value. Therefore, either smoke assault is doing less damage than it should be, or it's tooltip is higher than it should be.

But are you accounting for any Trait procs etc? Since Trait Procs could have happened on the Takedown but been absent on the Smoke Assault, because the Smoke Assault Numbers are pretty normal. Need more context for your build etc used in those screenshots

All I have on is the Harrier's amulet in the following examples. I run with no traits, sigils, runes. The only traitline which gives me a damage boost is SB, but I have no fury, and I wait for twice as vicious to end before I cast Smoke Assault.

Takedown does 398 damage, Smoke Assault 270 on first hit. 270 is ~67% of 398. So smoke assault is doing about 2/3 as much damage as it should be, provided the tooltip is correct.
