So I bring this up again. I suggested a fix to it before this patch, but it was too late, as I was told. So I suggest it again.

Here's some info about it, if you want to read up on it:

According to this, Inferno does half the listed damage. Some places say 1/3, but if you read through it, you can see they tested it well enough (if anyone wants to test this with me, I'm up for it). I doubt the bug itself can be fixed, but you can fix the damage display to show the true value.

According to this, you just need to divide the displayed damage in the skill description with 2 or 3, and you get the real damage. I've never had an Inferno sorc or an Arctic Blast druid, so I don't know if the damage is good enough as it is. If it isn't, it could get a damage boost too and/or a wider range.

I believe this wouldn't be hard to implement, yet it would be a great thing. All those high numbers are deceiving on these skills.

A little bumping; this would be a great fix in my opinion, especially compared to the effort needed.

I am not sure that skill descriptions can be fixed serverside.

I can put a 3 in the ddam calc in skillsdesc.txt I suppose, but I worry about what this might do and what bugs it might introduce, so unless you want to single player test it a bit and verify it won't cause problems I am inclined to just leave it as is.

In short - it doesn't seem like a simple fix for someone like me. Someone with modding experience like PureRage perhaps, but that isn't me.
