What platform are you running Path of Building on?

Windows

What is the value from the calculation in-game?

37,815 (but will be 45,378 with armor break)

What is the value from the calculation in Path of Building?

8.970

How to reproduce the issue

Notes:
I manually set enemy health to 0, no change (Vulnerability appears to be working already to make enemy armor 0)
Pinacle Boss/Guardian Selected (Not uber, so no DR issue). When selecting "No" Damage does go up VERY slightly to 10,142 - but that's still way less than it should be.

Possibly not applicable:
There appears to be no option for "Enemy has Fully broken armor" in PoB. I tried adding "Armor break" gems to several different skills to see if that would add it into the calc somewhere I could read, but made no difference. I did this because the tree node "Relentless fallen" is unsupported. Either way, this should only add a 1.20 damage multi and that gets it nowhere near thein game tooltip shown in the screenshot

Research direction

Load the linked PoE2 build code and reproduce the reported 8,970 versus 37,815 damage values with the stated boss, armor, and Vulnerability settings. Trace the damage calculation entry points used for this skill and compare them with the in-game tooltip, including armor break; done means the calculated result matches the supported in-game value and is covered by a regression test.
