Description
Check version
- I'm running the latest version of Path of Building and I've verified this by checking the changelog
Check for duplicates
- I've checked for duplicate issues by using the search function of the issue tracker
Check for support
- I've checked that the calculation is supposed to be supported. If it isn't please open a feature request instead (Red text is a feature request).
What is the value from the calculation in-game?
+0.14 lightning damage per mana spent * 1.1 (Buff effect) = 0.154
What is the value from the calculation in Path of Building?
0.1
When buff effect reaches a breakpoint of 50%, the value returns to 1.2. Any increase after that until +120% buff effect, returns only 1.2.
This reduction is reflected in flat lightning damage and guard value provided in calcs. Thus, why I noticed it
How to reproduce the issue
Change Arcane Cloak buff effect until each break point is achieved

Research direction
Reproduce the calculation with the linked character build and vary Arcane Cloak buff effect through the reported breakpoints. Compare Path of Building's Arcane Surge value with the in-game values and inspect the calculation path for buff effect, flat lightning damage, and guard value. Done means the displayed values track the reported in-game scaling across the breakpoints.
