    So what would've solved this exactly? Slight potency increases on Heavy/Straight/Emp? Or something like a flat out let's say 50 potency boost to Emp so it can not only make BRD opener much stronger but take down adds quicker. Sidewinder applying dots is not a bad idea....

    Edited in a few things above, but the most plainly obvious thing to do would be to make WB and VB do 20-40p more on their initial applications. Nothing of substance would change in terms of sustained output, but damage on short-lived targets would be a solid notch better.

    The second most obvious move would be to do virtually-anything to make FA less awful when the boss is going to be on the move. That could be making it do more per tick for a shorter duration, or making it act like Collective Unconscious maybe, or some other solution.

    In both cases, SE just added potency to the DoT ticks, which does nothing when those ticks don't happen but (unnecessarily) a lot when they do.
