• Describe the issue you are experiencing:
  Musket Sticky Bomb deals half damage if elemental damage conversion gem is socketed in weapon.

• Is this a bug or an exploit:
  Bug

• (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay:
  Musket Sticky Bomb deals half damage if elemental damage conversion gem is socketed in weapon.

• (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue:
  Use non elemental gem like Onyx.

• What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced:

1. Take any non chain perk musket without a socketed gem. Test sticky bomb single target damage on enemy player with non weighted armor.

2. Socket in a topaz gem and test sticky bomb damage against same enemy player. Overall Damage will be highly reduced. Sticky will deal 66% fire and 33% lightning damage. The sum will be much lower than in Step 1)

Yup. A lot of skills that spawn objects to deal damage do not scale properly with elemental gems. To name a few: Grav Well, Stick Bombs, Mortar Charge, Fireball.

It’s a rather major bug that is unduly penalizing INT and FOC players.
