Corrosive Vial

[TerrorZona520]

I don't know if anyone else has tried to use this power but me and a buddy have, and we found some issues with it.

 

1.) its dmg scale is not correct it says moderate/high DOT toxic AOE dmg when it actually only hits 1 target.(unless the 10 ft Radius is THAT small)

 

2.) does not do containment DMG on controllers unlike the other pool power attacks do.

 

This attack would be great if it was reworked to do immediate dmg + dot

It is hitting multiple targets, though... hopped onto test to throw it onto a character. Found a typical "three NPCs talking to each other" sort of spawn. Picked the middle guy, it hit all three. And it did do multiple tics of damage... Granted, it was a level 50 vs some single-digit Hellions, but it did do two tics of damage before they died.

 

Double checked on live, and the same held true. Yes, it's a small AOE, but it is an AOE doing damage over time.

 

It definitely isn't doing containment damage, though. That would be helpful.

I'm pretty sure if my memory is correct that Corrosive Vial upon beta/creation did actually do Containment procs, but the devs actually removed that feature from the power because it was deemed too "OP." (Personally I thought it was unwarranted but it is a very good choice for Controllers to fit some ST into their rotations.)

 

Though if this turns into the suggestion to revert the nerf and make containment work with it, then I wholeheartedly support the suggestion.
