**Platform, device version and operating system:**
Playstation 4

**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**
The damage of Bullserker spell is less than what should be. In an example, it should deal 16-33 boosted with +133, so total of 149-166 damage, but it did only 117 damage (enemies don’t have ability to receive less spell damage).
**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**
Every time in every game mode.
**Steps to make it happen again**
Just use the spell.

Conveyance issue. The spell’s damage is actually a range that can be represented [magic + 3 + Boost Ratio] \* (0.5~1.0), but the text makes it seem like it is [magic + 3] \* (0.5~1.0) + Boost Ratio. There are posts on other similar bug reports that this is how the spell is intended to work, so this will likely just get marked as [Not a Bug], possibly without even a reply.
Slightly off topic, but it still disappoints me every time that they don’t have some kind of flag or list for these ongoing conveyance issues that _are_ a problem and keep popping up, as [Not a Bug] strongly implies that no action will be taken to resolve an issue even though _something_ is definitely not right, even if that thing is not directly related to coding. Here, I think that it would be exceptionally rare for a player to be able to intuit **that** text as representing what the spell actually does and is supposed to do before using the spell. After repeated uses, some will realize after the fact that it _actually_ works according to the first formula, a large chunk aren’t even paying attention or don’t care, but a not-insignificant portion of the rest are left with the belief that the spell is broken but only a silver of those are even willing to make a bug report. And I’d be willing to be that tiny silver shrinks with each [Not a Bug] slapped on a valid _complaint_, leading more and more people to the assumption that the game is a lot more “buggy” or “broken” than it actually is.
Please find a way to categorize/record these in such a way that the playerbase can know that they are “on the radar”. We _know_ they are “low priority”, but conveyance issues are issues too, even when the underlying gameplay is “working as intended”.

Agreed, since this has been reported before (as mentioned), so not surprising that another person has been confused:

There was a response:

> Hey,
>
> This is not actually a bug, it’s a part of random damage. Random Damage will deal damage from a range, the lower number is equal to half of the spell damage (the higher number is the normal spell damage amount). This also applies to any boosts that affect the spell.
>
> eg. I have a Bullserker with 27 Magic. If his spell was a normal damage, it would deal 3 base damage + 27 Magic = 30 spell damage. However with random damage it is displayed as 15 - 30 damage.
>
> This happens because random damage will take half the normal damage as the lower half of the range, while the normal damage is the top half of the range.
>
> When random damage is boosted, the same thing occurs. My Bullseker’s boost is +52, this means the normal damage would be 82, making the damage range on the random damage to be 41 - 82 damage. (as the lower part of the dmg range is halved).
Maybe ‘Random Damage’ needs its own tool-tip, taking into account boosted damage, or Help Centre entry (as part of article incl. True Damage, etc.)?

Or just get rid of it completely. 🙂

As you know, this isn’t technically a bug, but I have passed the feedback on.
