Re: March 2nd 2009 - Dev Update 5 Yeah, i dont mind the general DOT idea, but the thing is, If you use a damage aug, the damage boost doesn't effect the DOT, making the DOT less effective. In extreme circumstances, you can be doing 4-5x as much damage than a weapon does usually, or with a seer, 10-50x as much, for which the DOT becomes more of a nuisance than a help.

In fact you'll do more damage then before with fire weps.

Re: March 2nd 2009 - Dev Update 5 My apologies, i assumed the reason it was doing crap damage is because it wasn't effected by augs, now i realize it was doing crap damage because it has a base of crap damage.

Re: March 2nd 2009 - Dev Update 5 2-3 hours ago? If it has again changed in that time, then again you have my apologies.

In fact you'll do more damage then before with fire weps. Yeah, but you can't do burst now. If the parasite lasts 30 seconds, it would take 30 seconds of constant firing to get up to full DPS, assuming that whatever you are fighting doesn't have a fire pest killer. Slaves probably can't survive their own damage from the lincin for that long, let alone power it.

Please post any issues you have with the parasite damage levels on the rebalance feedback page. My understanding is that its suppose to be about 60/40 dmg/dot, with the dmg being 75% of what it used to be. (Meaning you get a significant overall boost in damage).

Re: March 2nd 2009 - Dev Update 5 Just checked, both the DWO and urqa'ka do 30 damage over 10 seconds. Theoretically good on the ka, thats not nearly enough on the DWO.

I did up to 600DPS with fire pests whereas my Uu Quu DPS been almost divided by two. not to mention loss of aug stacking. Regarding my Uu Quu DPS with augs and stuff might be about 2k maybe more, yeah this IS a nerf.
