    1. Title: The Summoned Daemon's chaos bolt hardly scales, regardless of levels.
    2. Reproduction Rate: 100%
    3. Blocker: No
    4. Details: The Summoned Daemon's Chaos Bolt hardly scales, as there is a huge damage difference between its melee attack and the Chaos Bolt. Additionally, only the Fire DoT has a small amount of scaling, whilst all other effects have no scaling.
    5. Steps to Reproduce: Step 1: Log into the game. Step 2: Enter a location where a summon skill can be used. Step 3: Summon the Daemon pet.. Step 4: Order the Daemon to attack a target. Step 5: Observe the damage the Daemon's Chaos Bolt deals compared to its melee damage, as well as the lack of scaling of its effects.
    6. User Specs: PC running Windows 10, 64 bit OS, Game Release 91

    Here are some images of my daemon: one with food buff and one without food buff as well as a combat log against an unfortunate training dummy.

    Should also point out the issue with the high damage resistance but low application cap compared to tamed pets.

    I have done testing and confirmed that the damage does go up correctly as the skill is leveled. Based on the comparisons being made in the thread posts here, it may be better to add this to the wishlist for consideration for balancing or post it as an askADev question.

    I currently do not see anything indicating a bug.

    And what about the other effects? The attunement penalty, slow, root, and stun don't scale, even the duration doesn't scale.

    So I can understand the chaos bolt damage being lower as planned, but what about the daemon's chaos bolt effects? Only Fire DoT scales, and even then it's still atrocious. The rest of the effects don't scale and anything but the attunement swaps are laughably short in duration.
