so Poison++ for dragon daggers and other weapons like arrows, potentially make a few weapons with Burn ad an alternative to poison?
I randomly come across this picture and thought it looked like a D scim with burn on it, thought it was really cool

I think burn is one of the worst types of power creep. It’s like thralls. It’s only power creep in the dps calc, it doesn’t feel stronger the same way bigger red numbers feel

#

So you get this big buff but you don’t feel good while getting it, if we’re going to add more dps to the players, we should be getting enjoyment out of it, imo

it doesn't have to be for BIS, it can be for lower tier weapons, to help levelling at lower levels for things like slayer that people are trying to grind through, meh, I thought it looked cool

I would also prefer that we just get max hits and don't have to have a multitude of status effects without a very particular purpose. If we are doing X burn damage over Y period of time and this could instead be Z max hits, I'd prefer the max hits.

i take both points, however this was not the intention, raising max hits is dangerous for pvm, the last thing we need is to be hitting 80's with random weapons i was thinking this is more of a passive pvming/slayer bonus

Well it's effectivley the same thing, its just a different package.

#

burn damage hits damage over time, its not a stack damage effect (like an increase of +5 damage in 1 hit which is KO potential)

Dangerous for pvp you mean

#

like i said it wasn't for end game weapons of anything like that, it was just an add on for maybe mid game, players trying to level to 85 slayer with there d scims/dragon swords

#

dps is dps imo, doesn't really matter if its over time or not - would still prefer less visual clutter
