Bug with sorc skill fire mastery

Has anyone else had a problem with the fire mastery skill in version .10? When I add a skill point to fire mastery, my hydra damage goes DOWN by 4%, rather than UP by 7%.
If this has happened to anyone else, how could such a major bug slip by the months of user testing done before the patch was finalized?

Never happened to me, and never heard about the bug either. Are you sure you are not switching any items that adds damage or such?

Yes, I'm sure.
I have one point each in the prereqs for cold orb, and one point each in the prereqs for hydra, plus one point each in static, telekinesis and teleport. When I add skill points to orb, hydra and fire mastery (in that order and all at the same time--without leaving the skill assignment screen), then the hydra damage goes down as soon as I add a skill point to fire mastery.
This is a very common build, so I'm surprised no one noticed before.

sorry to say but when 1.10 patch came out some sorcs skills were killed off but others were given better like; fireball with sinergys maxed
fireball+firebolt= over 1400 damage i belive hydra damage was lowered so its not a bug.
cold damage blizzard is no king for killing orb as nerfed bad,
lightning lets just say static/teleport are still the best rest suck
paly skills have changed to the better i think.
necro is almost ten times better now then last past patch.
sad to say barb/amazon were nerfed badly with 1.10 patch in hell they wont live as much, but do hold there own in nightmare
assassin/driud not sure about the assassin but i hear that elemental driuds now rock
well thats my penny's worth and yea u guys can flame me now but what i say is true

I've actually found that Chargezon's are really good in 1.10, as the Trappasin. With my Chargezon I do 8*(1~3000) in light dmg if all bolts hit and the light trap for my Trapassin does 4.5k with each volley and death sentry just plain rocks
. Oh and as for elemental druids to rock, a wind druid surely doesn't anyway
