yep.
I just tested it for over an hour…
Now that Hellbore has been tweaked, Plasma needs a big one too.
When compared to Helbore, the Plasma Damage is a bit of a Joke.
My Mk III is faster at full charge with 0.68s, my Plasma is at 0.81s in hipfire and 1.61 full charge.
Damagewise there is not much difference. Mk III deals 489 against a Damnation Crusher on Body and 856 on Head. Plasma deals 494 on Body with Hipfire and 1334 fully charged. It has no Headshot Bonus.
This means that two charge hits from Helbore are faster and deal more damage than a fully charged Plasma. Add in a headshot, and the difference becomes even higher.
The Punch-Through effect is there, but the explosion is not noticable at all. The distance it can penetrate through Geometry is also not very high.
In my Test, the explosion dealt around 86 Damage after penetrating, which rapidly decreased the farther away an enemy was from the Object.
When shooting next to an Enemy into the ground, the explosion deals only around 30 Damage. Considering that the Attack itself at full charge deals more than 1000, this is extremely low.
