Nidus' Virulence

[Gerand_Regent]

I was doing sortie one today, survival with physical enhancement to impact, and my virulence was conistently doing 0 damage for the entire mission, no matter how many stacks I had. There were no other powers at work on the enemies; no nova slows or saryn spores. Unsure if this was caused by the sortie condition or not.

Yup. Not sure if it's a bug, a feature, or just how the math works out.

As it currently stands, ALL warframe powers that deal Physical damage will deal no damage in a Physical Enhancement sortie.

As for weapons, they get what seems like a ~90% reduction.

 

Maybe it's just the math of it, that somehow the power damage, when reduced, is low enough to not round up to 1.

Maybe it's intended to gimp powers far more than weapons, seeing as how DE hates warframe powers.

Maybe it's a bug, and the game is falsely ramping the damage reduction for powers way too high.

 

But it's been around for a while, people have noticed and pointed it out many times, and yet nothing has been done/said. So we're just going to have to deal with it for now.
