Dog effects being amplified by weapon blessings a’la “dogsplosion” was a bug, so they no longer interact. Not a bug. A fix.

Voltaic Mandibles Augment is affected by player buffs and blessings. It’s not consistent if one is affected and the other is not.

That doesn’t make it a bug. That’s a complaint. Different forum.

Damage over time effects are usually affected by buffs and blessings that affect “strength” and general player damage. Razor-Jaw Augment is the only DoT i know of that is not affected by buffs and blessings. Even Voltaic Mandibles Augment is affected by buffs and blessings, and that talent is similar to Razor-Jaw Augment in the sense that it is applied by the Cyber-Mastiff.

This makes Razor-Jaw Augment an outlier, and i therefore assume it to be a bug.

Another peculiarity is that neither Razor-Jaw Augment nor Voltaic Mandibles Augment trigger the talent “Up Close”. They do however trigger other “on kill” talents like “Target Neutralised” and “No Escape”.

Seems like a bug, if you’re using bleed for boss damage and have a bleed dog on the team you have to rush to get that initial bleed hit (which may be hard for ogryn) or you’ll be stuck with a very weak bleed on the boss that can’t be overwritten.

They should just have it count as a bleed triggered by the arbitrator so it benefits from the player’s buffs and equipment but not the huge buffs that can be given to the dog.

It’s odd that Razor-Jaw Augment is only affected by buffs that increase Cyber-Mastiff’s damage, and Voltaic Mandibles Augment is only affected by buffs that increase the player’s damage.
