Directed Energy Modulation Nerfed

in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
I have been using Directed Energy Modulation III for over 2 years now. During my usage, the parses have always shown that DEM III would provide about 10% additional damage based on my total energy weapons damage. However, while I was parsing some runs recently, I found that the damage output has been cut in half. DEM III now provides me about an extra 5% damage based on my energy weapons.
The only change I could find for Directed Energy Modulation was on August 13th, where it was stated to be one of the player powers that was rebuilt for server performance. It was also stated that the functionality of the rebuilt powers would remain the same. This appears to be not the case with Directed Energy Modulation.

    Confirmed. I noticed the same thing.

    Just adding to this that if you guys have the Marion doff, perhaps the dev forgot to link the rebuilt power to him?

    If accurate, this was not intentional. We'll investigate.

    Thank you for asking this question. It's a reasonable possibility, and I'm curious about the answer as well.

    I checked previous parses and there are about half as many hits now then before. Since I haven't used Marion in a while, I ran another test with him, and the amounts of hits remained the same.

    I didnt used DEM for long time but it felt kinda very weak this week when i used DEM2 (and data on parser showed it also) that it does low dmg even when compared to CRF1 or other lt tier abilities

    Just wondering if there has been any update Borticus.

    still waiting
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User] Posts: 0 Arc User
    I would surmise that any major fixes are going to wait until Season 11 launches, so as to avoid the inevitable TRIBBLE up of undoing a previous patch like the 10.5 snafus.
  • sohtohsohtoh Member Posts: 620 Arc User
    That is what I think as well. With the Season 11 launch being so close, it only makes sense to wait.
