Thread: Flame Cone1
Hi guys just a question. I hit FlameCone 1 yesterday and started to use it. I'm on Dathomir in the Imperial Prison. I walk up to the Prisoners and hit flame cone1. The main target drops dead 450 exp. Not worth my time, but I figure the other 5 guys on fire will give me nice exp when they drop. They all drop 2 seconds later. 0 exp. Is this normal?? I've tried it with Bantha's and get the same outcome. Maybe I was bugged yesterday, don't know, just thought I'd ask the more senior commandos out there.
Caruu
sometimes the flame dot sticks without any initial damage. If that is the case you will not get any experience for the kills. You have to damage your opponents with something other than just the flame dot.
Morph
morph is correct.
As you move up the commando tree, you're are more likely to do initial damage to all the targets with your flamecone. With flamecone2, I almost always do initial damage to all the targets I hit.
As a side note, you don't get to loot anything you didn't get the damage on either. As far as the game is concerned you didn't kill it.
Whatever the patch notes may say, I find it to be the case empirically. Just a few hours ago in fact.
Soloing the Weapons Facility I would flame cone groups of Dark Troopers. If I did not reach them and smack them before they died of the burn, I would often get the message that I did not have permission to access this corpse. Granted It was not always the case.
And yes, I was the only one fighting them.
