Hearthwin Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Title says it all. Just wondering why Shocking Touch does 60% electric damage while all the other uncommon electric amplifiers do 90% as well as every other uncommon elemental mod doing 90%? Why is Shocking Touch the exception and pushed down by 30%? Was this a previous nerf to corrosive damage? or just something wrong with my game?

-FV-Runehawk Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Nothing is wrong with your game. I can't speak for the reasoning behind it, but you are better off using Focus Energy, or Voltaic Strike if you posses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angius Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Because reasons. DE just made new elemental mods for D2.0 and forgot to change the older ones. That's pretty normal here - new stuff ets introduced, old stuff gathers dust and DE never bothers to balance it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holdenagincourt Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 It used to be even worse and everyone cried out for a buff, which it got. And it still sucks. Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearthwin Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Idk my Serro is pretty strong. Was just wondering why it was 60% cause it felt odd to me :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holdenagincourt Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Idk my Serro is pretty strong. Was just wondering why it was 60% cause it felt odd to me :p Serro is great and also looks cool. I was talking about Shocking Touch though...which is just strictly worse than Focus Energy (same damage bonus but more drain and no channeling efficiency bonus). Maybe if we talk about it enough here on the forums, it will get buffed to 90%. I don't really see why it couldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acos Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 There's really no good explanation. It should probably be 90% to give a choice between damage and utility. Right now it just sort of... is, and it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearthwin Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Didn't notice that one. Sadly I don't have an Ice pistol mod D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
