There's been lots of talk about the AoE and grenade bugs, but I'm concerned with having the DoT incap-clearStates-standUp-resumeAttack crap taken care of. I'm getting really tired of having to either A) waste time and timers re-attacking something that already fell over, or B) switching weapons when something gets near the end of its life and hoping that situation A doesn't come up.

I realize that it is intended that DoT not actually kill, and that's fine. It would make much more sense in combat if it wouldn't incap either. That would let the DoT drain the enemy down to 1 HP so the next shot kills it rather than clearing all states/combat and having to start the fighting all over.

My concern is that this doesn't seem to be mentioned on the board. This issue is causing me as much or more concern than the others. Is there some trick that I don't know about?

What do you mean start fighting all over again?

poorly phrased.sorry. I have to re-attack. Granted, the enemy is nearly out of HPs, but they also cleared all their states and automatically attack me. I just feel that once they hit the ground, I'd like to move on to the next target rather than waiting on timers and having them hit me again before they finally become a corpse.

btw - this sometimes happens 3-4 times for one creature b/c the DoT remains. That's 3-4 attacks wasted while taking damage from other attackers.

I have seen it too. The NPC keeps getting up like 3-4 times even when i hit him with a regular attack.

Ah Yes! The "Night of the Living Dead" problem. Where they keep incapping and keep healing and you have to burn up a high damage special to actually put the mob down. Basicly you shoot them and they die at the same time the DOT ticks which means that you stop attacking but then the mob stands up again with a few health and you have to time your next shot so that it doesnt hit at the same time as the dot...yah, I see it a lot. Especially with the flamethrower
