So thats what caused my instant death some days ago, i already wondered whether this was supposed to be this way or not. Also damage is 7 times as high, or maybe storm dash brings other factors into play, like the actual "hit" happens more than once?

It's not just 7x as much damage. I've seen 10x and upward multipliers. It seems kind of random, but way too high. There's something very flaky about anything that increases or decreases damage. Besides that issue, there's also this issue. Basically the X% damage decrease enchants are way overboard. 15% less damage enchants are actually making you take something like 90% less damage. And a 24% less damage enchant that I found recently causes attacks to heal me! Made killing a lieutenant easy, but playing on invincible mode is a little dull.  :P

Ah, haha, looks like I goofed on the enchant math ;)  Shouldn't be too hard to fix, thankfully.

I hate being that guy who nags about when his pet bug is going to get fixed... You know when someone says something like that they're about to do it, so let me jump right in! http://www.arcengames.com/mantisbt/view.php?id=5823 is leading to some rather ugly deaths. Is this something that is proving hard to pin down or did it just slip through the cracks? I'm not sure what severity level 'text' is, but it doesn't sound all that high on the list of things to do.

Initially we thought this was just a minor bad math thing.  But actually, it's a really severe problem with how the ongoing condition of storm dash is being applied in general, so it's something that I was planning on fixing today, after reading about the 100x and upwards damage the other day.  When we thought it was just some sort of rounding error with ~3x damage instead of 2x, it was super low priority to us.
