Okay, so I'm out running missions, and I'm fighting an Ancient Flying Reptile or two on Dathomir, when I shoot, and I shoot, and I shoot, and I shoot, and I shoot, and I shoot, (you get the idea), and the whole time, it has no health bar left. Then I remember something about FT not being able to incap, so I switch to the LP, and sure enough, they die in one shot.

Now, why on earth shouldn't 10 or 12 hits with a FT kill anything? I mean, if you or I were hit with a FT, it'd kill us, right? Why shouldn't I be able to kill with it?

Now, I understand why they decided to make the DOT not kill, but come on! This is just plain ridiculous.

Thank you for letting me rant.

<shrug> i dont know what was happening to you, but when i went hunting with my Flamer today i killed lots of things with my FT alone.

perhaps theres some bug that if the target is on fire a flamer cant kill it? pure speculation thob/c i have yet to use flamethrower special since the patch

hope things sort out for you

First check to see what the mark is resistent t0 then use the appropriate weapon. If the flamethrower then use the specials to bring the ham down then regular attack to finish it.

I tested this out yesterday (Sunrunner).

Flame DOT - will still kill mobs

Bleed DOT - will no longer incap players or kill mobs

I think they had intended ALL Damage Over Time to never incap or kill, but they got it half right at least.

Flames (along wiht all DOTs) won't kill any more, will drop target to 1 hp though... here's what i think happend

You opened up with a flame, dot sticks but you didn't actually do any damage since ancient reptilian flyers are 100% resist... you continue to shoot with FT, combat box tells you you did xxx damage but in reality you did zero damage due to 100% fire resist. However since your flame stuck, dot continues to damage it till it had 1 hp and all the while you're still shooting with flamethrower andnot doing any real damage;

Now you bust out the trusty LP (bet you forgot all about that rusty old thing didn't ya? ) shoots him and do over 1 point damage, said ancient reptilian flyer is now dead ancient reptilian flyer

My DoT was killing things left and right today.l Works like a charm.

I killed Kimos, Kungas, Sisters, Tuskens, Nyms, Droidekas.....all burned nicely to a crisp. Plus several hundred Reb NPCs. Run it, DoT, stand around and wait for them to drop. I love it.

24 hours removed from the incident, I have come to believe that I was wrong and that It must have been the bleed that brought them low. I am not sure I did any damage with my FT, but I sure as hell thought I did last night.

So, I apologize to anybody who thinks I was a moron. You are probably right. But thanks for the help anyways. I will pay closer attention in the future.
