I was chatting with page about this and we were wondering next if it only applies to the Wastes (2) multiplier or to other multipliers as well, so I began testing IK6 with Rend and then with other skills as well. So I made a non Wastes (2) test with an unboosted Rend and there Area Damage worked just fine, cause there was no Rend buff. This didn´t make sense at first, but then I noticed I had Wastes (2) set bonus equipped, which is a 6x Rend damage multiplier, so maybe Area Damage was unaffected by that. The Rend ticks (every 12 frames), substracted from monster health bar numbers (not the displayed ones you see every 48 frames), only dealt 1/6 of estimated Area Damage. While testing Rend Bloodbath and Area Damage, I noticed something weird. 27th but I kept it here because it´s the portion most people responded to Original post - the following portion was relevant in patches 2.2, 2.3 PTR and early 2.3 live before the hotfix on Aug. In the same example if Focus was also in effect, your Hammer would have hit for 2.25 billion damage but your AD would still only deal 250 million damage. But AD currently doesn´t take Bracers of the First Men into account (triple hammer damage), so you´d only deal 250 million splash damage (500m less). > Focus (generator portion of the ring set)Įxplanation: If you have 50% Area Damage equipped and your Hammer of the Ancients deals 1.5 billion damage and Area Damage is triggered, you should deal 750 million splash damage to enemies within 10 yards of the target. Here is a list of Barbarian-related bonuses that don´t work: ***These bonuses act like debuffs and Area Damage acts like a separate attack and not like Bloodshed. > Bane of the Stricken Restraint (spender portion of the ring set) > Zei´s Stone of Vengeance Immortal King´s (6) set bonus The list of bonuses that now work with Area Damage includes: Most Barbarian-related bonuses have been hotfixed on August 27th, 2015 and work with Area Damage.
