Additional Holy Damage on SoV Full StackFollow

With 505 spell damage and a full stack of vengeance, I hit for an additional 14 holy damage with a 1.6 weapon. Are you kidding me? 14? Why bother even making the change? Is it supposed to even things out since the stack does the same damage over 15 second instead of 12?

I tested it on the PTR and my tank set hit for 3 ... ZOMG 3 more Holy damage = leet threat gain! Not tried it out live yet, but honestly, 3 damage?

I'm with DDDevilz on this, over the length of boss fights this tiny bit of extra damage/threat per hit will add up to a non-negligible amount and it is entirely extra to what is used to do, and i didn't see anyone complaining that it needed a buff before.

On a related point, i read on the http://www.failsafedesign.com/maintankadin forums that using damage boosting effects when Vengeance DoTs are first applied will cause the damage increase to last throughout the entire duration of the DoTs!

So with the increase of the DoT timer to 15 seconds it'll be even more abusable. Might be good to switch out your spelldamage weapon once 5 DoTs are up and go for more white damage, after all it's not like you'll lose much from the bonus Seal of Vengeance damage ; )

'Course the reduction in Holy Shield/Consecration/etc.. threat would cause all kinds of complicated maths...

They stated it would be small.

Yea, they did state small, but I was thinking (and it seems everyone else was too) small woulda been more like 10-20, still far less than SoR will do for me. Don't get me wrong, I love the change. We didn't need it, but it is nice. Just, pains to see 3 >.>

Is there any situation in which applying magic damage to a target could trigger some other effect?

And that would therefore be triggered by this extra damage from SoV?

I can't think of any such effects, all i can think of are "damaging attacks" rather than "magically damaging", but i've got a niggling feeling that they exist out there somewhere...
