Is there a hidden extra proc on Pathocyst detonation?

[SheikaVoid]

When I hit the heavy attack button to detonate the Pathocyst, I don't just get a burst of viral, I deal around ten times the damage I deal with the same build I use on my Xoris.  Is viral proccing twice in quick succession?  What's going on here?

Maybe....

Depends on How you Modded it... Or maybe it doesn't....

I'm guessing Whats Happening is Either you are Making Contact with The Actual Glaive thus you are Proccing Viral On Contact and then Proccing it Again with The Explosion...

Or.... When you Detonate The Glaive.... The Viral Procs Twice.... Once from the Force Proc and then again from The Status Chance....

 

You'l have To Double Check to confirm if you have Two Viral Procs from a Single Throw.

If it happens that you are not getting Two Procs..

Then it's either a Bug or it might have Something to do with the Enemy you are Hitting.... 

 

Basically we need more Information....

Build.

Enemy.

Loadout.

Level. 

Etc....

Pathocyst does have notably higher Explosion Damage plus the Viral after all, that can make for a significant end difference.
like 50% more nominal Damage + 1 Viral Status is quite a lot already. if these are Enemies which are weak to Viral Damage then that can push it further still, as well?

 

or maybe the Maggots do more than it seems.
