Rift Surge does not actually cause enemies to take increased damage from all sources; it only increases Limbo's weapon damage while he's in the Rift Plane.

In case there's any confusion from other readers: Rift Surge was not nerfed. The damage percentage is being displayed as a multiplier in the UI when that is not necessarily how it's applied. For instance with +30% power strength, a weapon that deals 250 base damage and 90% elemental damage does not deal 250 x ( 1 + 0.9 ) x 3 x 1.3 = 1852.5 damage in the Rift Plane. Rather, the damage percentage is an additive bonus that affects the weapon's base damage: 250 x ( 1 + 2 x 1.3 ) x ( 1 + 0.9 ) = 1710 damage. This bonus will add with other base damage bonuses from mods.

This is different from abilities such as Roar or Eclipse which affect total damage.
