does damage to the mind pool only and appliesbleed Dot. You can still pull one mob out but it's not as safe as it was when bleed did no initial damage, with my experience with pulling out one mob you need to target the closest in order to be successful. The actually amount of damage done is less the head shot 2 or 3.

Before the first shot would damage a random pool...now, do mind shots do damage to ONLY the mind pool on the first strike?


I think that this initial damage is stupid becauseit really hurts the rifleman's ability to pull one mob from a crowd unless the concealment chance is high...which makes leveling a bit more of a pain. I also think that when a bleeding mob somehow finds you, that's pretty dumb too though. I'd be in favor of returning bleed shots to the way they were before with no initial damage, but making mobs not immediately find you upon bleeding onset.



I have a bad feeling about this nerf

i think it's ok now. but i just used it 10 times.


i found a group of 10 imps on danto last night and killed them all... I used mind bleed2 from 60m with my 480 max damage T21. It took between 800 - 900 mind damage and 1xx a tick. And it worked perfect all the time. Pulled & killed them 1 by 1...


I love killing imperials

bout all its good for is pulling a single creature. the bleed tick on it is pretty useless. so i just use mindshot 1 for single pull use. mindshot2 is about worthless and a wasted space in our tree now.

i tried it too, just to see what the bleed is. base damage is close to expert headshot

the bleed tick really, really sucks now.
