I think, after the fix, Goblin Shamans and Blood Shamans will still be powerfull, but not ridiculously over-powerfull. I mean, their attack will still do Astral Damage, something that no enemy has resistances against, thus a Blood Shaman's Astral Strike against a Black Dragon will do more damage then a Shaman's Dancing Axes.
And yeah, the only units who can act again after killing an enemy (or taking damage) in AP were the Gorgul, Gorguana, Demon and Executioner (and the Assassin after using Murder). Goblins, I remember, even with Zeroing in, were laughably weak enemies, I never had any problems against them.

Why guess? Let's do the math to truly confirm. If what is said is true, the door swings both ways and it means abilities can converge to 3X damage if Attack/Defense come into play. I just did a quick test, it does! My lone emerald dragon was able to do 160ish damage while sporting a ~+40 attack advantage, but the base damage is only 50-70.
40*0.033 =~ 1.2, so
1.2 + 1 = 2.2 so
(50-70)*2.2 ~ 110-154.
It also means, on the same token, the Orc attacks can never do 3X damage from the base damage, but the base damage is so high, this hardly matters. ;(
I stand corrected, I thought it didn't work that way. This makes me look at the Defense stat in a totally different way now (and the Attack Stat).
I tend to agree it was probably an oversight, or if they intend to have it be a neutral attack (unable to increase and unable to decrease), it should have a lower setting.
Sniffles, in long matches, those goblins started doing some big damage to me. I've always been intrigued by them due to the zeroing in ability.
