Oh, I think I missed the obvious difference between DamageBonus/Rating.  This is the function in Weapon.lua that determines final damage done, or at least just before it's modified by DamageRange for randomness:

 

Code: c++
  1. GetBaseDamage = function(self)
  2.     local bp = self:GetBlueprint()
  3.     local damage = (self.unit.Sync.DamageRating + (bp.Damage or 0)) * (self.DamageBonus or 1)
  4.     return damage
  5. end,

So if you give a tower a DamageRating Mult of 5, its damage is ((0 * 5) + (blueprint damage)) * 1.  Or in other words, nothing will happen, because it has no base DamageRating.  Whereas demigods have no blueprint base damage, and do 100% of their weapon damage as DamageRating.

So for units that have most of their damage as blueprint-damage, like minions, creeps, etc, you have to use DamageBonus to multiply it.  A minion might gain some +damagerating from items, Morale, other skills, etc so a DamageRating.Mult would still do something, it just wouldn't mult that minion's entire damage, by any means, where DamageBonus will.
