*SOLVED* - hollow palm - body armor with higher EV/ES results in lower damage

My Hollow Palm Technique monk has two sets of body armor. This first body armor has slightly more evasion and energy shield, but the tooltip displays significantly lower damage across the board when equipped:



This set of armor has lower evasion and ES but roughly 16% higher DPS:



An older thread suggested that this might be just a tooltip bug, but I have tried switching areas, acts, maps and even relogging, and the tooltip never changes. Unscientifically, it feels like significantly less DPS when bossing as well.

I thought it might have something to do with the extra socket, but did confirm that replacing one of the sockets with something else affects the EV/ES and damage as expected.

Totally stumped here. Everything else looks correct except the DPS plummets when wearing the new (top) body armour, and I really did want the extra movement speed.

Any hints or help, or is this just a bug?

Apologies for the potato images. TIV.

SOLVED: Was looking in the wrong place the entire time. The new armor had +30 to life and I have the Killer Instinct notable passive selected (40% increased attack damage while on full life). Used a well and now the damage is normal. Durrr. ;)
