Hello everyone,
the Daemonic Withering tactic (Magus tactic: Withered sould is undefendable and target takes 10% more damage from your group)
does not work on your own pet.
One can replicate the test by checking tick damage on target dummy with and without Withered Soul on it.
The damage stays the same. That is not true for normal spells, for which it works as intended.
I bring this up because i think that it might not be as intended, but rather a result of the most recent changes to the tactic.
Either way im happy about any feedback in regards to this.

Re: Daemonic Withering Tactic
Sounds like an oversight, you should make a bug report.

- Daemonic Withering: The 10% damage increase now only affects group members
The tactic description in the patch notes means that the ability does not affect your Pet.
It is the same case with healer AOE party heals not healing your pet.
e.g. Zealot's Dust of Pandemonium:

As the tactic is working correctly compared to its tooltip, this is not a bug but a balance concern (i.e. it should not go into the bugtracker)

You are right. I just thought it might likely be an oversight since i think the nerf to Daemonic withering was likely aimed at toning down the impact of offgroup damage and not your own pet.
But again you are right that it is working as stated on the tooltip, so if that was the intended change im happy to see the report thrown out.

Re: Daemonic Withering Tactic
its probably an oversight or is a unnecessary nerf for magus. A fix may take a little time though as treating owner pets as team members would open them up to too many potential buffs and healing, would likely need a new handler.
