Another broken Siren skill. I lost count on how many broken skills we are up to now. Apparently Infusion doesn’t work properly and you really shouldn’t spec into it.
Let’s say you use a shock weapon that has an 800 damage dot attached to it. Now, if you spec Infusion and use this with the shock element, then Infusion will also be able to proc a dot. The problem is that the dot from Infusion will overwrite the dot from your weapon, and do much less damage.
I found a video on Youtube that clearly demonstrates this. Five minutes into this video you can see what’s going on:
Isn’t the whole point of Infusion to use weapons that don’t match the element of your AS? So you really should never a shock weapon with a shock element AS. I don’t know if his example is a good one because you never want to double dip the same element. I use maxed out infusion shock with a Cryo Crossroads and seem to melt everything.
