    Default Action Boost: Damage Question

    Did a quick search for this, but couldn't find anything on the first page.

    Barbarian Action Boost: Damage reads as: adds a 25% action boost bonus to your weapon damage for 20 seconds.

    So my question is, what does this effect?

    1. Base weapon damage?
    2. Enhancement modifiers (i.e. +5)?
    3. Strength bonus applied to damage?
    4. Enhancement bonuses applied to damage (i.e. +2 damage with greataxe)?
    5. Weapon prefixes (i.e. holy, flaming burst)?
    6. Weapon suffixes (i.e. pure good, disruption)?
    7. Weapon procs (i.e. incineration)?
    8. Sneak attack?
    9. Artificier spell effects (i.e. +1[W])
    10. Destiny effects (i.e. make an attack with +2[W] damage)

    There's so much that falls into the category of 'weapon damage'. I'd just like to know what I'm getting a boost to.

    Pretty sure it affects everything but procs. Not sure if it's applied before or after DR though.
    That which does not kill you gives you experience points.

    Afaik it affects the main number and sneak attack. The extra sneak attack is added back into the main number though I think like the extra sneak attack that you get from helpless mobs.

    I also think it's like this. At first I was confused seeing 100+ normal hand damage on non-helpless mobs. Then I figured it might be some sneak attack damage bleeding through somehow, again.

    Thanks for the replies. I did a little testing myself and I am seeing larger numbers, but it is definitely hard to see where the numbers are coming from since everything gets lumped in at the end.

    1. I did notice that my rogues sneak attack seemed larger, but it is hard to tell with the randomness of sneak attack.
    2. My barbarians crits went way up, but again, I'm not sure how many of the effects are being tagged by the action boost.

    Would be nice to have a breakdown of all of the damage sources. Maybe even just from a session on the training dummy.
