So there were times when I run True Takedown where after doing a Fakegrasp that her HP melts almost instantly.
Sometimes I wonder if I was hit by something or it’s a bug with Fakegrasp + Driver. I noticed this happening when fighting the Maliwan soldiers at the bridge.
Is it possible you’re hitting yourself with the splash from a recursion or wedding invite?
I am using Recursion. Maybe. I’ll have to record some videos so I can see what’s really happening.
I’ve insta-melted myself tons of time. Mostly running Phasezerker and Phaseslam. Thought it was the 2 point it puts in Conflux even if you don’t spec into it. It was usually around water. But I tried the Driver com and grasp, and I’m still downing myself in the same fashion even when there is no water now.
Not sure why. 
If there is no enemy around to damage to heal, I’m toast if Guardian Angel hasn’t cooled down.
It did happend to me sometimes, but only when I had at least 1 point in Conflux.
With Driver, Conflux will procs DoT on yourself based on your Skill Status dmg.
It will melt any shield you could have and your health in no time.
I can’t see from where your problem is coming if you’re running a Phasezerker thought…
Tried a few things. It seems, I had a shield that ASE Radiation. When I spash damaged myself (Kyb’s Worth) I had to fight to stay up. It would just melt everything. Switched to an ASE Cryo shield, and it doesn’t happen as often. Conflux definitely makes it worse, unfortunately all Phasezerker Coms seem to have at least a point in Conflux.
This occasional self-downing is why I keep an It’s Piss grenade handy. Throw at feet to clear the self DoT.
Phasezerker Coms seem to have at least a point in Conflux.
It does not always. I have a +2 Clarity +3 Anima one.
Try to spec in One With Nature and Clarity. Helps sometimes. But if you’re full into Anima and Tempest then you’re gonna be wrecked by your on damage if you shoot in water and then step into it. Stay out of water and watch out for barrels. Barrels are evil.
Yeah, I think I have 8 into Anima. That plus snowdrift + water = lots of moments where I have to either damage an enemy constantly until the effect wears off, stand in a Kyb’s Worth circle, or hope Guardian Angel has cooled down. I guess it adds some excitement like the high risk/reward of Kreig.
Been totally forgetting about using the Piss grenade. That’s a good solution.
Agree)
My understanding is that Amara’s FotE skills affect the DoTs she gets from Fakegrasping with the Driver COM. The one that gives a chance to get add a second DoT means that she can apply multiple DoTs to herself, and the one that increases DoT duration and damage mean that her self DoTs last longer and do more damage. Admittedly, I have never had a reason to test it, as I don’t like the Driver play style in general, much less a build that relies entirely on purposefully missing with your Action Skill, so I’m not 100% if this is actually the case.
Any points into Anima will cause you to go into ffyl from area elemental damage. Even 1 point makes a difference. At least with my Phasezerker build. I try to stay clear of Anima at all times…lol
