The only thing does is override monster . Okay I guess that's pretty useful but inflammatory titles get more views. Plus this may have been broken literally since release and no one has noticed for some reason.
I thought so too, that it would do double damage but I haven't seen that happen. It definitely seems to be broken. I can go test it out and see what happens. EDIT: I'm not getting any bonus damage so far.
But but but but the announcer sounds so cool when he says HAYWIRE What I don't understand is why I hear HAYWIRE constantly as a melee character. Does it affect my procs or thermite bombs or brimstone flasks or wands? Heck, does it affect activated traps, even ones I haven't actually placed? I've heard it going off on all these occasions and it makes no sense. And it never really does seem to do anything. Note: It would help if damage from spells, traps, procs etc. displayed in the combat text log.
