At 10 or less targets it's working properly. After 10 targets it drops in damage.


Can't find proof it should decrease it's damage. Says all targets. I'll leave it open a bit for someone else to chime in with counter proof, otherwise goes to confirm.

Proof Mind Sear should be an exception?

The damage cap is curently broken, the damage cap should intervine after 20 targets.

Spoiler:

From Patch 3.3 to Patch 5.2, the cap was at ten targets, rather than twenty.

Why wouldn't you link the changelog and the most relevant one?

Quote:

Damaging abilities have a cap of twenty targets, and healing abilities have a cap of six targets. For damaging abilities, from one to twenty targets, the total damage will increase linearly with each target affected. After that, the total damage output is capped and the amount of damage each individual target will take decreases proportionally.

Quote:

MoP Patch 5.2.0 (2013-03-05): The area damage cap is now 20 targets (was 10). This means area of effect damage spells now reach their maximum damage when striking 20 targets. If more than 20 targets are struck, then the total damage done is spread evenly over the actual number of targets present.

Confirmed. Should cap at 20 targets, not 10.


Won't move it yet, need to see if it's global or just for Mind Sear. If you can test for Rogue FoK or other stuff please do, I can't atm. If not, I'll do it asap.

I will test tomorrow and will replay with my feedback for FoK and Consecration

Tested for Consecration and FoK. Caps at 10 targets.

@shocker tell me if you need specific spells to change their behavior. I'll change title to Multiple because it affects all spells.

Judging from the 5.2.0 patch notes, ALL AoE spells have the targets damage cap increased to 20 (we had the old value: 10 targets). Fixed
