During some battle testing with a friend of mine I decided to test a few spells out alongside overload. After a few battles I was wondering why my overload was doing so seemingly little while charge minded and not. So I did some tests!

When fighting a prinny, the damage of overload was normal for charge mind and without it. A 2.5x multiplier exactly. However in battle with an actual person, this differed greatly.


This was the damage before charge mind was active.


And this was the damage afterwards. Which is only roughly a 159% total multiplier.

So what I believe is happening is that charge mind isn't boosting the damage bonus from bonus stats. Which might be entirely intentional, and might even be better balanced than the alternative, I Dunno.

What I do know is that as a result its often better to not use charge mind at all when using overload, as high speed divine words casting is better DPS. Which seems counter-intuitive from charge mind itself.

Posting this here in case its a bug. If its not, no big deal. Though if its not a bug, it might also be worth looking into boosting overload's base electric scaling a little. It scales worse than ryemei, at only 110% lightning attack at rank 5.
