Merciless Stomp Line Bugged ?

[twinche]

<DIV>heres the description of the stomp line for bruiser...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Combat Arts: Crash (24), Merciless Stomp (3<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <P>This has changed into a kick attack that deals additional damage if the target was recently knocked down. Now that the Bruiser has multiple combat arts that knock down targets, it's not difficult to score the extra damage bonus. Crash will knock the target down one more time!</P> <P>I have a 52 Bruiser and everytime i use Merciless Stomp it only seems to hit them with the higher damage attack of the 2 attacks. It Reads its supposed to hit them once for lower damage then for a second time for even higher damage...Even after i cast a knockdown and then stomp i still only get ONE hit not TWO. and the damage is never the lower of the two attacks... Anyone else  notice this problem.</P></DIV>

<DIV>the first damage is what it would do if they weren't knocked down first</DIV> <DIV>the second is what it will do after a knockdown.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>i think it's working like it should.</DIV>

<DIV>but the spell reads</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>  does x damage to target</DIV> <DIV>  does x damage to target</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>  Cast knockdown</DIV> <DIV>  2secs etc.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>that doesn't sound like one or the other that looks like it does both. and the phrasing of "additional" damage sounds to me like its "in addition to" normal damage it does more. should be 2 attacks imo. But could be just semantics like so many other combat arts.  if it was either one damage or the other it should be corrected and labled accordingly. anyone else have 2 cents?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

/agree It doesn't explain it well, but  once i figured out I could KD them and then use it for massive dmg, I kinda figured that is what tehy ment. <div></div>

I agree that this skill is bugged.  When I first started using this CA right after the changes went live, I could distinctly make out 2 sets of numbers that looked like it was from the stomp line.  Lately though, I've only noticed 1 set of numbers from this attack.  While I have yet to look at the combat logs to confirm all this, my impression is that this CA was changed sometime in the last few updates.  Plus, I don't think there is any room for wiggling when it comes to semantics.  To me, the description is clear.  <div></div>
