It's a fix of the buff hunters received a few hotfixes ago.
Yeah but now it will give us the correct amount of damage. Is that more or less damage? :P
I read a comment from Zeherah saying that Improved Serpent Sting was doing half the damage it should and that it was reported to Blizzard. Basically, ISS was doing 15% of the serpent sting damage as advertised (instead of the 30% before the hotfix), but it was not using the doubled serpent sting damage, and hence the damage done was actually half.
So, count it as a buff, I guess. Unless it was something else entirely.
The stated hotfix of ISS damage from 30% to 15% is neither a buff nor a nerf, because SrS damage in general doubled (15% of doubled is 30% of normal). What was happening though was that ISS was calculating 15% of normal, instead of double, causing it to do 7.5% instead of 15%. The hotfix to the hotfix brings it back up to 15% of a now doubled SrS, so.....
....ISS damage shouldn't be changed at all from 5.0.5 to 5.1. Lots of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Considering the "wrong" version was in for 4 days, I felt it worthwhile to provide a larger picture.
