Shadow Crystal

[BAgate]

My opponent had Shadow Crystal, a weapon base damage 6, +9 permanent bonus, a Corrosive Poison giving him -5 damage, the Shadow Crystal triggered and it gave him +15 damage, not +10. Why?

And why does it include bonuses when weapons with similar wording don't (o am I misremembering again)?

So the value displayed on the weapon was 10, and Shadow Crystal made it 25 instead of 20? When something like this happens, please use the bug report button so I can replay the log and investigate, it's a bit difficult to figure out after the fact.

The fact that Shadow Crystal doubles the current damage instead of the base damage may be a bit too strong, but Gerula has to say if we change it or not. I'll let him explain when he makes a decision.

He had a reforged shadowfiend (base damage 6), it had gotten 9 +1 buffs, and he had a corrosive poison. So total damage listed was 10. Shadow Crystal triggered and he got +15 damage.

I was just surprised because most such items would only double base damage (so give +6 in this case).

I believe it was on turn 11 in the attached.

We had so many previous encounters with shadow crystal builds, i really dont know why is still like this. Obviously is OP, even more for its price. Double the current damage is out of the question for a passive item anyway, will fix it next patch.

And just for consistency, was facing someone with Needle Poniard, a trinket that gave +1 damage, and when the Needle Poniard triggered it gained 8 damage, not 10. So none of these things appear to work the same way.
