Elemental Resistance Sortie Bug: Chromatic Blade

[Evanescent]

Right now with Chromatic blade in elemental resistance sorties does zero damage to most enemies. Sometimes it will randommly do damage, most often it does zero. Finisher sttacks still do full damage. Blade waves and direct strikes behave in this way.

Well, what element(s) are you hitting the enemies with?

Elemental Reduction is an additive damage multiplier (of I believe at least 75%), so if you're using, say,
Radiation damage which already has -50% / -75% against many Infested, you easily reach -100%, i.e. 0 damage.

[BTW, in case that might screw with your elemental setup, be advised that Rivens don't affect Chromatic Blade.]

Because they do Finisher damage which isn't subject to elemental multipliers or anything.

Well it happened in two instances: enemies with viral resistance took zero damage from gas and gas damage procs.

I know how it works, trust me. Would not have made a post otherwise.

But is still worth mentioning because this is affecting a whole ability.
