Decided I would go hunt Merek Harvesters and Delirious Mereks since they have energy vuln. Sure both have mad ham and light armor but since they are vuln I figured my trusty T21 could hack it using cover and Headshot 3. So I find a random lair and target a 12k Merek Harvester, take cover, Headshot 3.. HIT.. Combat log 1200+ damage, damage spam over merek 1200+ damage. In fact the exact same damage as my combat log. What is up with this??? Is it because the creature is vuln I get no AP multiplier or what? Everything else I attacked I took note of combat log and damage spam over creature. Everything else gets a multiplier that has resists to energy but not the merek who is vuln? Is this a bug?

If I remember previous threads, you are absolutely right - If a creature has a vulnerability to your energy type, then the AP/AR calculations are completely bypassed, meaning combat window = final damage.

correct.. stupid as it sounds, it's true. vulnerable is worse than no armor, 10% resist
