Primal Burst Damage Attribution

[villith]

Primal Burst deals a non-trivial amount of damage and is technically attributed to the initiator of the SBA chain. Chain Burst has this issue too, but it deals less damage and its likely that the users who both use this damage meter and care about this poll are using Primal Burst the majority of the time.

Things to consider:

• Attributing all Primal Burst damage to the initiator of the SBA may create misleading damage meters and could incentivize players to be the ones to initiate an SBA chain
• Removing Primal Burst damage makes the total damage inconsistent with the boss health and penalizes players who use a build that has high SBA generation
• Splitting Primal Burst damage across all players penalizes players who use a build that has high SBA generation

I wish this damage could be listed separately, just like LB in FFXIV.

Imo the cleanest solution. We should also not forget that the mastery trait that enhances Primal Burst damage by 25% exists though. Ideally, the Primal Burst would be shown separately, but if players have that trait it would attribute that portion of the damage to them.

For example:

• if one player has it, the total damage would be 125% -> 20% should go to the player with the trait, 80% separate
• if two players have it, total damage would be 150% -> 16.66% to each player with the trait, 66.66% separate

I guess this would also work if SBA was attributed to the one who started it, and then spread the trait attribution accordingly.
