Is this bug being left in the make 40% actually feel like the normal 55% on the focus arm or something?

The problem was that the damage was over-the-top like the thread above shows. As Stew said in the OP, you are still going to get a slightly higher damage value from stacked buffs now than you were before 1.35 even after this hotfix.

The conclusion in that thread seems to be that someone hit rest. Multiple people reported no change and that even while stacking sensor and focus arm buffs the damage was the same. So I'm still confused Are you saying that in 1.3 even with pet damage increase skills and mods, when you right clicked a turret the additional damage still was only 55% added onto the base damage, where as 1.35 it now correctly applies the skill and mod buffs and then the focus arm buff on top of that? Whatever it was, why was the sensor nerfed? It's not like the sensor was exclusive to turrets, the buff on it has always been fine the way it was

Are you saying that in 1.3 even with pet damage increase skills and mods, when you right clicked a turret the additional damage still was only 55% added onto the base damage, where as 1.35 it now correctly applies the skill and mod buffs and then the focus arm buff on top of that?
