Spring Attack does far less damage than it claims, may be ignoring enhancements

Something I just noticed on my stalker - When I hit something with Spring Attack it does much less damage than the detailed info says it does. With the enhancements I have in it, against an even level enemy with no smashing resistance (The possessed scientists in the Portal Corp parking lot, specifically), it does 60 damage in a wide area and 30 damage in a smaller area. But according to the detailed info on the power, for a level 50 Stalker it should do 98.73 damage in the wider area and 49.37 in the smaller area.

Base damage on Spring Attack according to the enhancement screen is 82,43 - I assume this is both hits combined. Adding the character in question having 8% global damage bonus from IOs would put it at 90.09 total damage, which lines up with the damage I've observed it actually doing. Additionally, when activating Build Up beforehand for an additional 80% damage bonus it does a total of 157 damage, while the base number plus 88% bonus gives 156.82, close enough for the difference to be merely due to rounding. Thus, I suspect Spring Attack may be ignoring damage enhancements - at a guess I would say enhancements aren't being transferred through to the damage patch the power creates, as I've also noticed a distinct lack of damage procs going off while testing it despite having two slotted in the power. I'm unsure if this is unique to Stalkers or not as I lack another character of a different archetype with which to test on short notice.

 

Additionally, while testing this I've discovered Spring Attack doesn't report its damage to the combat tab like other powers do.

In my chat window I don't think so, no. But there's no message in the chat log from the day I was testing it either and that saves all channels as far as I know.

Make sure you enable chat log saving in your settings and have atleast one of your channels display pet damage information (pet combat, etc)
