What platform are you running Path of Building on?

Windows

What is the value from the calculation in-game?

There is a damage per second value shown in game based on the hit damage, cast rate, and critical chance/multiplier, but total poison DPS is not a value the game shows or calculates and is exclusive to Path of Building.

What is the value from the calculation in Path of Building?

For Essence Drain (and Essence Drain of Wickedness) in the Calcs/Skill Details section, selecting the skill as the Active Skill:

1. There is no 'Skill DPS' value or field. It has the Average Hit and Casts per second fields, but going from Soulrend to Essence Drain, the field/line disappears.

2. The Total Poison DPS value is incorrect. It repeats the Poison DPS value. For Soulrend, it has the Poison DPS value multiplied by the Poison Stacks value and when you mouse over the Total Poison DPS value, it shows this calculation (in a green box). When I switch to Essence Drain of Wickedness mousing over the value shows nothing (in the picture provided the mouse cursor doesn't show, but I'm over the Total Poison DPS number in both cases, with one producing the additional calculation pop-up and the other not doing so) and it doesn't multiply the Poison DPS with the Poison Stacks value to get the Total Poison DPS and instead just repeats the Poison DPS value (single stack value). This also means the Full DPS and Full Poison DPS values on the left hand side with all the other overall values for the build is incorrect, significantly lower than it should be.

Basically Soulrend shows these functions/values exist in Path of Building, but aren't working for Essence Drain specifically for some reason, making the total DPS values quite inaccurate. I've been using Soulrend as a substitute in the mean time. Program is great, thanks!

How to reproduce the issue

1. Select Essence Drain of Wickedness as main skill
2. Go to the Calc's page, see that there is a missing field for Skill DPS and that the Total Poison DPS value is not multiplying the Poison DPS with the Poison Stacks value and there is no mouse-over. At the top of the first damage box it shows (By Skill Hit Damage) the average hit damage, whereas Soulrend shows the DPS value.
   Also when you switch between the skills on the left hand side (Main Skill:), Soulrend has a 'Hit DPS' field and 'Combined DPS' field that are both missing for Essence Drain, despite them both doing hit damage, debuff damage over time type damage, and poison damage.

I found a potential fix for the issue:

In the act_int.lua file, removing the line:

         skill("showAverage", true),

Gives the expected behavior within the program, causing it to show by the Skill DPS value as well as the Total Poison DPS value within the Calcs section for the skill damage, as well as the total damage values that were lacking under the Main Skill total/summary section. I have no idea if removing that line broke something else, it doesn't seem to for me so far, and I also have no idea if that line is auto-generated by something else and manually correcting it will get overwritten the next time it generates the skill data, but for now I seem to have fixed the issue for myself and if someone who knows more about how it works thinks that's a correct change they can make it for everyone (for all three versions of Essence Drain).
