[quote]Minor enemies (Rank-and-File) no longer take more precision damage than other enemies. These enemies previously took twice as much damage to their precision hit locations than enemies of higher ranks. You will still deal precision damage, but this is now entirely dependent on the weapon, as it is for higher ranked enemies.[/quote] This addition to the TWAB has certainly confused the hell out of people and I have been looking around for some answers on what this change will mean when the damage buff is applied. It's safe to assume our bodyshot damage will be improved due to the increase in base damage...but what about precision hits? Since weapons will now be scaling off of the precision multipliers each weapon have instead of just a straight 2x damage increase on headshot, finding what that multiplier is will be key. So I'm going to take 1 of each weapon type because quite honestly it's a pain in the ass to test each and every one and I'm going to start with the more popular archetypes of each one. I'm going to find the potential multiplier using the ogre mini boss on titan. 600 rpm auto mini boss numbers: 97 on bodyshot 154 on headshot ~1.58x precision multiplier. 97 + 30% = 126.1 126.1 x 1.58 = 199.238 As it states, around a 30% buff to base damage...but when you fire at a minor, the damage currently is 308 which is the equivalent of roughly a 3.17x headshot multiplier. That's roughly a 55% damage nerf to minors...ouch. 140 rpm HC mini boss numbers: 455 on bodyshot 680 on headshot ~1.49x precision multiplier 455 x 30% = 591.5 591.5 x 1.49 = 881.335 Not a bad number...until you headshot one of the acolytes there...1360 damage. Roughly a 54% damage nerf against minors. I don't even want to continue because it's slow to work on and easy to see where this is going. Our trash mob weapons are now going to be weaker if we compare them to our current minor enemies in the game. This would mean it would take 2 bullets to kill a way UNDERLEVELED acolyte with headshots using a 140 rpm handcannon in the exact same lost sector. If bungie doesn't reveal in a TWAB down the line that minors are going to have lower health then primaries are going to be so much weaker against minors than they are currently. My complaints about how it takes too long to kill trash mobs with auto rifles now got so much worse that I have no real excitement towards shadow keep anymore. The initial buffs I saw before they posted that abomination of an addition were actually quite positive...but seeing as how we are just continuing to grow weaker...yeah that hurts a lot. Please bungie, don't tell me that this load of garbage is what's actually happening. Primaries are designed to kill minors and making them worse is just...the dumbest decision I have ever seen you guys make.
