[Bug] Marked Prey lash damage doesn't use Weapon's best damage type vs target DR

[peddroelm]

Warhammer does crush or pierce damage types..  Game hints in loading screen would have you believe it chooses the "best" type vs target DR .. Only it doesn't (always) ! 

 

Here's a combat log proof .

 

Warhammer vs Drake  (marked prey debuff) . pierce DR 13.5 , crush DR 18.. 

 

21 - DR (13.5)  = 7.5 pierce + 3.9 crush (!??!??!) 

 

Here's how the marked prey lash damage is calculated .. 21 * 0.4 - TargetDR * 0.25..

 

You'd expect warhammer to pick the pierce DR (lower)  and thus get 21 * 0.4 - 13.5*0.25 = 5.025 ..

Instead, for some oversight, game picks target's crush DR (which was higher than pierce DR)  21 * 0.4 - 18 * 0.25 = 3.9 as shown in combat log ..

 

While we're at it wouldn't it make for the marked prey lash damage component to also benefit from on-weapon DR bypass attribute ? Currently it doesn't ..

 

And why does it take 2 billion years to cast ?  (billion years during which your ranger is not doing any damage ..) 

 

Poor rangers ..
