I recently got the title today and tested it a little.
I had
No scales on
No claw
Only buff was True Grit (as I used it to dispel Dispirit Foe/s)
I repeatedly hit a lv92 Nah'guk Gatherer with my Drain Strike ability. 25 delay, 76% of damage given to attacker, +50 to-hit, 260% damage adjustment, Maximum damage. With 'maximum damage', the damage should remain the same unless something changes. Without using the title effect, Drain Strike hit for 400 slash damage. With the title effect active, it still hit for 400.
Trying to figure out if this is a bug, or if I'm just interpreting how it works incorrectly. Thanks!
