Player Mechanics

Issue Description (Required):

In havoc missions, hive scum stimm cache ability no longer prevents damage from pox gas (thrown by bombers).

it correctly prevents corruption damage, this is not the point of this report

it used to prevent normal damage as well (or perhaps my memory is not as thought it was, anyone else feel free to mention it if you remember it differently)

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  1. Play hive scum with stimm cache ability (the right side ability in talent tree, that drops stimm effect to entire team)
  2. Go to havoc mission.
  3. Encounter a pox gas bomber.
  4. Stand in the gas and drop stimm cache.
  5. Obeserve how you take no corruption damage, but your health pool depletes slowly.
  6. Perish

The toxic gas from Dreg Tox Bomber grenades has an 80% corruption ratio, so it will deal 20% of its base damage as regular, non-corruption damage per tick. On Auric/Damnation/Havoc 21+, this is 2 base damage to health per tick.
