I have said this before, but at least I am not the only one who noticed this. The formulas working on Charged Chop and Thorny Vines are still broken. They are not applying any bonus and are not scaling. Recently there was a patch note that the warden/rogue elite upgrading Thorny Vines was fixed. Instead it was broken even worse. Instead of the pitiful dmg it used to do, it now does even less. With the new expansion, days away, it is a shame to find so much of the old content still broken and or bugged. It begs the question, if things don't work now, what's to say anything new will work either?
Another warden ability that is still broken, the lvl 50 warden/druid elite. The ability is a HoT but at its lvl and the formula used, it is useless. If healing bonus was applied to it, or even magic damage bonus, it wouldn't be so bad. But as is right now, what is in the text of the skill is how much it will heal over time. Not a drop more. No scaling or bonus = useless, and this is a lvl 50 elite? Seriously?
