    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Lava Burst [Shaman]
  • Actions
    • Set LavaDamage = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Triggering unit) has buff Flame Shock) Equal to False
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage LavaDamage, dealing (30.00 x (Real((Level of Lava Burst [Shaman] for (Triggering unit))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Fire
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Triggering unit) has buff Flame Shock) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage LavaDamage, dealing (30.00 x ((Real((Level of Lava Burst [Shaman] for (Triggering unit)))) x 2.00)) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Fire

Use this:

• Lava Burst
• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Lava Burst [Shaman]
• Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • ((Triggering unit) has buff Flame Shock) Equal to False
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing (30.00 x (Real((Level of Lava Burst [Shaman] for (Triggering unit))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Fire
    • Else - Actions
      • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing ((30.00 x ((Real((Level of Lava Burst [Shaman] for (Triggering unit)))) x 2.00) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Fire

I optimized the trigger AND you can see that you actually multiply the level of the ability with 2, not the result of 30*level.
It needs to be ((30*level)*2), when your current one is (30*(level*2)), which is not what you want.

WTF! hive start to piss me -_-

But Spoondude - as I remember the TARGET unit must have the buff for double damage - so you don't should use (Triggering Unit) --> (Target unit ability being cast)

[Also wasn't "true" faster as "False"?]

 

[Turilli]

Try changing all your "triggering unit" variables to "casting unit"

 

[Pharaoh_]

Turilli, Casting unit functions slower than Triggering unit. Generally, prefer Triggering unit on every ocassion, unless you have a damage detection, for example, system, which requires Damage Source as well.
The problem is definitely the one I described. He didn't make the formula properly. The way he did it, at Level 1, the spell will deal 30*1 = 30 damage and the double damage will deal (30*(1*2)) = 32 damage, because he placed the "Level" in the wrong arithmetic function.
