Fixing Irradiated Ground

[WindDemon21]

Should have done this back when the power was nerfed, but since it's nerfed so much now, can it please just be made a regular damage aura toggle. As it is now, unless you stand there in place for a long period of time, the power essentially has only about a 50% damage value versus a standard damage toggle. It's actually about 40% to start because of the time it even takes the first patch to lay down, but bumped to 50% for the slight added chance for providing the contaminated effect. Of course the longer you stand without moving it gets closer to a damage toggle but it never surpasses them.

 

This was calculated by the damage it does, time it takes for a patch to drop down, enemies moving out of the patch, time it takes for the SECOND patch to drop also to even EQUAL the value of a damage toggle, it not inheriting build up/damage buffs properly in the same way etc. All these considered, with it now not at least proccing better, the power should really just be "Irradiated Aura" instead of ground and just be fixed.

 

As is now though, it just ends up being a hassle with the damage constantly delayed waiting for patches and being lower damage overall when moving anywhere during a fight. Just fix it to a damage aura already.
