Changes how Idol of the moon bonus damage is calculated.
Note: I can't find any evidence that this idol added 17% as stated by the item tooltip - more info linked further below.
Before this PR:
add +17 damage
After this PR:
add 17/8 % to direct basedamage part of moonfire
add 17 % to total tick basedamage
For rank 10 moonfire this equals to:
~4.5 damage per tick
4.14375 to 4.485 damage to direct damage. That averages to 4.314375
From wowhead comments:
(note: edited for easier readability)
This equals an increase by 4.325 damage - since the tests mention crits, we can deduce that this is the direct damage part.
Tick damage.
Counterproof
There are also comments on druid classic discord that mention its 20 + 20 damage. 20 direct damage and 4 x 5 dot damage. None of those comments are backed up by evidence, and seems to be a constant copy/pasta response based on initial testing. Since the direct damage portion of the spell varies by 36 damage - tests with low samplesize could be missleading.
Mentions of a GM talking about how this spell could negate other bonusses. I can't deduce any math formula that would negate the "Improve Moonfire" talents and give the expected results.
It's not possible to test this ERA PTR, since Blizzard changed the item to its TBC version which adds +33 damage.

Tick damage is still 0.5 lower per tick, than what has been reported on the sources I could find. But it's so close to 17% divided by ticks, that I decided to stick with that.

Image represents Rank 10 moonfire direct damage. From my interpretation that looks like 4-5 damage difference. No raw data available.
