    Turns out that the Viral Torpedo was flagged as "No Resistance / Immunity" which is a bit overkill. It will be changed in a future patch to respect Resists / Immunity, which should include those granted by Aux2Damp.

    Thank you, this is the best news I've heard all day.

    Nah, if it respects resists/immunities, it doesn't need a lockout period, because it's only 5 seconds assuming NO RESISTS, and you can only do it every 30 seconds.


    If you give it a lockout period in addition to the long cooldown and being affected by immunities/resists you'll render it completely impotent- as in: it won't actually do anything, ever.


    This way it's still useful, but much better balanced and not too overwhelmingly powerful.

    a lockout period is very important on disables to prevent chain-disables when multiple players come into play.
    and there still is the double tap issue as described here,

    which would be practically resolved when implementing a disable lockout period.

    Anything flagged as "No Resistance / Immunity" has the potential to be overkill. Would it be too much to ask for evaluation of other powers that are flagged as such? (I have no examples, but I can assume they exist.)

    All in all I'm glad to see these changes. Please let's strive to keep this mindset going for new stuff as well.
