Bonestorm bonus damage debuff possibly bugged

this is an underutilized part of bonestorm so ive seen no one talk about it, but the main purpose of this effect is for your attacking minions to trigger it and do a large amount of bonus damage, and by large i mean triple/double damage, ive checked the numbers on poedb

i ran some tests and it appears this debuff doesn't scale its bonus with the minion that triggers it, im assuming it should work like flame walls bonus damage to projectiles that pass through it, but it seems like it doesnt.

I've tried hitting bosses with Bonestorm, then using Skeletal Minions, Archers, and even Raise Zombie, either the Bonestorm buff doesn't work, and zero damage is triggering from a hit, or it doesn't scale off of your own damage.

Because I do over 150,000 dps, and over 300k when buffed, and when I bonestorm a boss, then run around in circles to let my minions hit it, the boss takes basically zero damage from my minion hits, that should be procing the debuff.

Anyone have any luck?
I had the same problem.
I also noticed that it often literally misses targets while clearly aiming towards them and looking like they hit the target, except it doesnt.

I also used Power charges for more area and it seems buggy as hell.
