Original Post:

There is right now no change at all on PTR so there's nothing to test. I used a low weapon, removed all things that could procc and tried with diseases and without. In both cases both targets did get the same damage (with a difference from up to 6 due to weapon damage range).

You can test yourself. But the tooltip says clearly that the second target only gets half of damage. It's just not yet implemented.

1) Get FF and BP on primary target
2) Pestilence
3) Heart Strike
4) Compare Heart Strike Damage from Primary Target and Secondary Target

You should find that this happens -
If heart strike hit primary target for 2,400, then it should hit the secondary target for approx 2,200

This is assuming a base heart strike hit for 2,000, meaning -
Primary Target = (2,000 + 20%) = 2,400
and
Secondary Target = (2,000 + 10%) = 2,200

Go and test it like this and report findings, i would do it myself but not on PTR this time.

nb - above is napkin math and doesn't account for any weapon dmg modifiers (if any) for the cleave part of the attack compared to main part of the attack, but it's good enough for testing purposes.

Well, i did test it in a better way. To get really clear results, i didnt use any trinket, set bonus and weapon enchant and a low weapon from starting zone (had only a weapon dmg range of 2).

So i tested it exactly this way and i always got around with and without diseases the same damage for both targets (was just at maximum a low difference from 1-2 damage when both were non crit).

So yeah, i am pretty sure i got the right result. I was an European PTR, if it should matter (it shouldn't).
