Earthkeeper (red): Infused Backup reduces damage on the target only by 50% but the full 100% original damage are shared for the stonekin

NAME: Earthkeeper (red): Infused Backup reduces damage on the target only by 50% but the full 100% original damage are shared for the stonekin 

DESCRIPTION: Infused Backup absorbs 50% damage on the targeted unit (U3 eruption only deals 150 damage) but the damage that is shared is not the absorbed 150 but instead the full 100%! So Eruption deals 150 to the target and 300 to the earthkeeper (split with other stonekins around)

REPRODUCIBILITY: Eruption U3 on any not stonekin unit that is backed up by Earthkeeper (red) and watch the Earthkeeper take the full 300 damage even if only 150 are absorbed

This is most likely intended behaviour as all damage sharing components work with premitigation damage/original damage. This makes the mechanic unnecessarily confusing as it is nowhere stated that it works with premitigation damage. Wrathgazer's Pain Link, Unholy Hero, Life Weaving - all work like this so you can bet this is also true for Earthkeeper.

I'd say it is more of a description problem, not a bug .

Then the card would be absolute garbage (even more so that it is) since it increases enemy damage by 50%!
I think you don't understand what happens here. Earthkeeper takes double the damage he absorbes. No other nature/frost card works that way. Lifestream absorbs 80% damage and only takes 20% of that damage themselves. Earthkeeper absorbs 50% damage and takes 200% of that damage themselves?!?
Eruption only targeting the absorb-target, deals 150 to that and 300 to the earthkeeper, so 450 over all when only targeting 1 unit!
btw. Earthkeeper (blue) works as intented. Absorbs 100% damage and stonekin take 100% of that damage. So the eruption-target takes 0 damage and stonekin take 300. No increase here.

yeah, definitely a bug. total damage from shared and targeted unit should not be >100%.

my test :

2 earth keeper (r), cast ability 1 on harvester.

eruption(u3) on harvester,

both of the earhkeeper take 150 (300 in total)

harvester take 150.

mean... eruption deal 450.

 

expected : harvester take 150, both earth keeper take 75.

because it was targeted solely on harvester , the total damage must not exceed 300.
