I used it last night on some slavers and slaves when completeing a mission after they all died the only corpse I could loot was the one I used flamecone on. Is it supposed to be like that or is this a bug?

hmmmm...(tm) ...
DOT damage doesn't register as coming from you.

so if something gets killed exclusively from DOT damage, it wont be seen as having been killed by you, thus.. you don't have permission to loot it.

it's a good and a bad thing, really... since you can DOT something (with healthshot1) then attack with your weak attacks a little (unarmed, anyone) then wait while it bleeds to death.

The loss of exp is kind of annoying also.

oh.. yeah.

but see... if you just damage it a little (even 1 dmg's enough) it'll register as 'your' kill.

I've had no problems registering all the xp pts using a DOT dam with the flamecone. I was able to loot all of the corpses.

I noticed severaloccasions last night where I hit mutiple mobs with flame cone and got exp on only one. This is pretty typical with mobs killed exclusively by a DoT. You have to do regular damage to get exp and loot rights.

Its usually when they counter attack. This lets the dot on without doing "real" dmg. Yeah its annoying but not enough to lose sleep over.

From what I've seen, everything it touches. I can rack up 2k in HW exp every 15-30 seconds now, just find some creatures close together, run up and flame on.

I thought that was probably the reason, I would like to see flamecone1/2 do damage to all the mob and not just set them on fire it would fit better and then atleast we could get some xp seeing how DOTs don't give any.

I've also noticed that if I shoot at a lair and kill it in one shot, I don't get any XP for it... ever.

may be something similar.. if the DOT attacks kills the MOB in one fell swoop it doesn't get a chance to ... do.. something?

there was a small string of logic somewhere in there... but I think I lost it.
