That is what gets me too – if the same bad readout shows on the default frame and addons, it is probably under the hood, not some weak aura bug. Blizzard needs to stop the fake plunge before it even renders.
That coherence is what makes it feel more like a proper drop, yes. I still hope the feedback request gets them to tune the balance before it leaves snapshot, because cold-themed additions can go from atmospheric to irritating very quickly.
