Shatter does 1 damage?

I recently started playing as a 2h warrior (male qunari), and have noticed that the floating number that indicate cold damage from shatter is 1. I dont know if the actual damage is 1 or if it is just displaying incorrectly. It seems that both warrior and rogue shatter effects display this error.

I am playing on ps4 and am using Solas with Winter grasp (non-upgraded) for the combo starter.

If you need any more information let me know. Loving the game thus-far!

    This is on anything that you fight? I started as a mage and quickly found many things have various elemental defenses. And my stronger spells would only hit for 1-5 damage on respective monsters.

    This bug applies to everything from shades and wisps to undead. Creatures with no elemental resistance whatsoever only take 1 damage from shatter effects, making the combo aspect worthless (better to just let them sit their frozen and basic attack).

    Other problem is that there is too many freakin ennemies with immunities or resistance for too many elements or state changes.

    I went back to an old save from just before the patch update (didnt like it so I just left it). Shatter works as intended, as well as the shocked combo. Seems that it is a post-patch issue for new characters.

    reverting to an old save would not matter, you are still running it in the patched version of the game?

    I play on the PS4 so my game auto updates and I lack the ability to revert to a previous version. Characters created pre-patch have shatter working as intended. Characters created post patch have shatter dealing 1 damage. This is really annoying and makes cross class combos with mages kinda pointless.

    EDIT:

    It seems this bug applies to warrior 2h combo detenators only, however there are a host of other bugs as listed here: http://forum.bioware.com/topic/528742-stuff-that-doesnt-work-compilation/

    Bioware needs to patch these. Some of these bugs are quite an issue.
