This ability seems a bit broken in my opinion, is it intended to generate focus? I'm level 4 and it hits for up to 60-70, and as long as u dont miss u generate way more focus than u spent, so u can just spam this ability as soon as u have 20 focus.

 

Atm no other dmg dealer in my party comes even close to this output and all other cipher abilities on this level seem to be a complete waste to use, cause another huge advantage is this ability checks agains deflection instead of will/fort like most other spells which are much higher on the potd on most enemys and there are a lot of ways to reduce enemy deflection value.

The bug report for this is ages old and still... they didn't change it. So either it's intended or they don't think it breaks the game too much.  

I am more than 100% sure that Amplifying Thrust was NOT generating focus in v2.00

It did in 2.03 - that I'm 101% sure.

Yeah I remember you mentioning that. 
 
P.S. Have checked 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03 patch notes. No clue. No reference... It must be some undocumented change.
 
P.P.S. Damn I miss old Borresaine. That attack-speed steal was so much more useful...


- update -

Re-checked, as usual: (thrust even healed me once via drain enchant somehow; although couldn't replicate it on next 10 tries)

 

Lost 20 focus to cast. Gained 56 focus from damage.

It definitely did not generate focus before 2.00 or I woulda spammed the **** out of that ability.

Can't be intentional.
