Summary0022339: Inconsistent damage mitigation across abilities
DescriptionNoticed a couple of issues when using Blurring Shock and other abilities

1) The lord was mitigating far more damage for BS than for other spirit attacks. My BS hits were 69 damage (50 mitigated). But my other hits were like 451 (170 mitigated).
2) My tooltip said BS was for 114 damage but based on the combat log it was for 119.

Did some other testing on level 39 mobs (no debuffs) and got different results:
White (physical) Damage 344 w/ 386 mitigated = 0.89 ratio
Ether Dance (spirit) 269 w/ 230 mitigate = 1.169 ratio
Potent Enchantments (spirit) 90 w/ 58 mitigated = 1.55 ratio
Blurring Shock (spirit) 296 w/ 302 mitigate = 0.98 ratio
Shock proc (spirit) 73 w/ 46 mitigated = 1.587

Attached CSV files that still shows inconsistencies but more consistent. :)

Spirit procs show one general mitigation level, spirit abilities show another general level (Ether Dance different), physical abilities another general level except throw different.

I'm guessing this has something to do with some under-the-covers classification of the damage types for channels vs single hit vs dots (or dot-like things) so maybe maybe the "bug" here isn't the damage calculations but the transparency in the UI/combat logs about what is affecting what and how.

Are you aware that abilities/procs each scale off strength differently (the "damage multiplier" or "primary stats multiplier"), which also means that they scale off the enemy's toughness differently? If something's damage bonus is based on 1.5x your strength, then the damage reduction from toughness is also 1.5x which will result in a different overall mitigation % compared to something with a 0.0x multiplier, a 0.5x multiplier, etc.

Last I knew, the "Training Construct" NPC has 212 toughness, 470 for all 3 resistances and 3500 armour.
