[0.981] Descriptions of combat spells

Combat spell description: inflict X damage to target unit. Really combat spells inflict random damage in range X-Y. Maybe descriptions need modifications.

We tend to show attack and damage stats as the max damage (for better or worse).  But the new comparison text does a better job of showing the real damage.

Very nice change.  Been asking for this for...a while.  Kudos!

This is incredibly awesome! Thanks, Derek and company. Seeing the range gives a much better idea of how things may end up (along with the spell resistance info, too).

Wait... what would cause a spell to vary between 2 and 10 damage? It's a flame dart!

If a flame dart does 10 fire attack, its lowest damage should be 5.

Or are you including the resist chance into the range? Because it gets halved if it gets resisted, so 5 fire attack divided by 2 can do 2 damage.

What about spells that can be fully resisted? Are they just going to show 0-20 damage?

 

And what about resist values like fire resist, are those included? So many questions...
