Describe the bug
Exploit Weakness is a combat ability used by at least Ghostclaw Ravager in Ghostlands. When clicked in the battle log, it states: "Inflicts normal damage plus 19 to 21 on an enemy, but only if attacking from behind." They seem to get the 19 to 21 damage bonus regardless of whether or not they are landing the hit on the target's back or not. When actually having my back towards the enemy, it hit for 47, when facing the enemy, it hit for 45. The normal melee damage for their hits was around 17-22, so there's something else that is also happening with those numbers, since 22+21 != 47. I have 27,48% armor reduction (699 armor, lvl 17), if it ignored armor, it might explain it, but batte log calls it physical damage, unless it is treated as a bleed damage?
Expected behavior
At first I thought it could only be used from behind (like shred), but reading it more closely I interpret the tooltip as only providing the bonus damage if being used from behind. There does still seem to be a bonus damage portion, since the numbers don't add up. My hunch is that it ignores armor, which would turn the 17-22 damage vs 27,5% reduction into around 23,4-30,3 before the bonus portion of 19 to 21 is added to it.
