Just my opinion, but does anyone else see the irony of a stun weapon being used to kill enemies.
Seriously, give us anything but a stun weapon, and while your at it elimate the damge against armored targets.

I agree, but you also shouldn't be able to put out a fire by swallowing food.
Or have a pike that can set your mind on fire in the first place.
Or be able to cure wounds by thinking really hard.
It is a game. There's a lot of ridiculousness in it, but hey, whatever.

honestly stun weapons should just be removed from the game. Like why doesnt the geonesion sonic blaster do sonic damage or something.
And yes stun weapons can kill but really shouldnt. I think a cattle prod jammed into your spine has a change of killing you. Or a cop cracking you in the head too many times with a stun baton.

I think that if you're wearing a jacket, Cold damage should be reduced by 50%, and Heat damage increased by 50%.

This is essentially a moot point. Stun dominance is most likely going away with the combat balance when armors get overhauled. It sucks for carbineers right now and every weapon profession should have a broad range o damage types but, once armor gets fixed and stun is not the only vulnerability ro THE armor to wear, you probably won't see anyone wielding stun weapons.

Why dont you take this to a profession forum that actually has stun weapons?

Stun damage doesn't express itself properly in terms of effect. Its not incapacitating you without harm, its just another damage type, so personally, I'm in the category of removing it, too
OR:
In the new damage system, have Stun damage directly affect your specials pools. That would be a form of incapacitation WITHOUT causing damage. Much more appropriate.

because there is a debate in this forum about wanting stun to be the new carbine damage type. Chill out ok.

Stun weapons dont kill anyone in this game. They do INCAPACITATE which is what stun weapons are supposed to do. The deathblow could be from jaminga knife, buttstock, or your boot into their throat.

As to the revamp, I dont see stun going away as a viable damage type. I actually see armor having more vulnerabilities than just stun making it tactically challenging. Hopefully you'll see more things like ubese. Composite was just a bad idea.
