Honestly, it is amazing for me. I quite often use this ability and have never seen any bug. Perhaps this is due to a some special node?

Tryest to enable DPI upscaling which is in the exe. file - properties.

Thanks for the hint, but that didn’t solve the problem

Any build that uses this belt will be massively nerfed once it gets fixed.
Increased frenzy effect will also increase damage taken resulting in a zdps build because you’ll die all the time.

Nope. Increased dmg taken is not in a broken affix and not gonna scale from str stacking

But the alt text says the damage taken scales with frenzy effect, so if that’s not scaling with strength as it should then when it does scale with strength surely you’d take more damage?

What I gather from reading the belt (in LETools, don’t have one in-game) is that you deal more damage and take more damage while you have frenzy. It’s a fixed stat that isn’t affected by the increased effect of frenzy.

The only thing the +str should do is make frenzy give you more attack and cast speed. Turning 20% to 40% at 100 strength.
But all the other affixes should not change based on strength, since they all specify “while you have frenzy”. It’s an on/off effect, not a scaling one.

The belt states that both its bonuses and penalties scale with “Increased Effect of Frenzy”. More specifically, “% increased Damage Taken while you have Frenzy” has an alt text describing that it is meant to be “Magnified by Increased Effect of Frenzy” both in LETools and in game. I can’t think of any other interpretation other than bonuses to “Increased Effect of Frenzy” increasing the damage one takes and thus “% increased Effect of Frenzy per Strength” also increasing damage taken.
If it would be fixed values for all those modifiers than all the extra alt texts under each of them stating that those aren’t “fixed” but “scaling” wouldn’t make any sense.

If they do all scale with increased effect, then it should be changed so the affix itself is clearer and not require people to read alt text, which most don’t.
The affix saying “while you have franzy” means that almost everyone reading it will read it as an on/off toggle, not something that will be scaled.

If it does scale with it, then yeah, taking twice as much damage if you have 100 strength will be a big nerf. It’s true you deal more damage and you also leech/drain more, but you’re certainly more vulnerable to one shots.
