I got fairly lucky on my exalts that 3/4 armor pieces exalted physical damage increased by % twice. With a shield with physical damage % gem, and 60% enchantment power in the armor, I can farm silver, birch, and dig sites at that level with just one hit rather than two. This feels unintentional.

this is known but i cant say if its a bug or not ^^
but i guess its good that you bring more attention to it 
But i do know that environmental effects such as weather: rain could cause digspot HP bar to show up..(but didn’t decrease)
So could it be that rain can affect trees HP to decrease?
Simply attack the tree with 1 swing to see how much hp it has left. (Sometimes i take the time to cut down the tree with my sword or with a plagued/magical shield with a mottled elemental gem on it, because why not 
)
(Some staff/wand runes can dmg trees so much it goes to 50% unless that was fixed before together update)
Hm, not sure either if this is a bug or an oversight.
I’ll leave the subject open for a while.
