After testing, it seems like the “+20% weak spot damage” is calculated as follow:  
**(weak\_spot\_damage - normal\_damage) \* (1 + 0.2) + normal\_damage**

I thought it should be like:  
**weak\_spot\_damage \* (1 + 0.2)**

If this is not a bug, then I think this blessing is a little bit useless?

It has already been answered.

the +20% weak spot damages is calculated as you said.  
Same goes for +x% critic damages etc.

We’re all agree that:

- it is not intuitive
- is really badly labelled

But it is working as expected.  
See this thread:

Yep. Basically any perk or blessing that increases weakspot or critical weakspot damage is beyond worthless on 99,8% of weapons and builds, and highly questionable on the remaining 0,2% weapons and builds.

Yes since the explanation of how it works, I have never put such perk.  
I would even say that they can remove them
