@TolkienPen@agraybee I know rogue one would be considered a retcon in thus regard, but it establishes that Galen Erso deliberately implemented the flaw in the design so the station would be vulnerable to attack by fighters.
@cronicdreadlock@Ki11ersix@dammit2h3ll Frangible (maybe intentionally maybe not) can spawn with ANY smg parts. So it's possible to get completely broken (good) ones and completely broken (don't work) ones.
@Eric65883097@TheBuildHubGG Increases the damage of anything that doesn't originate from your gun or ordnance (or exceptions like some shields). So it buffs action skills primarily, but as an example Rafa's melee override or bonus incendiary damage on ricochets would also be buffed.
@Denamic3@DemonIceSharkVT@EpicNNG I agree slag was a problem for BL2's endgame. My point was that this knife is even worse than slag as it trivialises another core mechanic (critical hits) to have a similar effect, while breaking many interactions that mechanic is intended to have (ricochets etc.)
@softlikeshadows The key bit is slowly, I had one of these drop at level 15, and didn't find anything as powerful until another (of the same knife) dropped at 34
@DemonIceSharkVT@EpicNNG and interact with other mechanics like Jacob ricochets and stacking buffs. Crits are never meant to function like slag and are definitely not the way to implement that sort of mechanic.
@DemonIceSharkVT@EpicNNG There is another other issue people aren't mentioning compared to slag. Slag was its own mechanic that was a huge damage buff, but that couldn't be changed or interacted with. Crits by comparison have several ways to increase their multiplier both via skills and gear, ...
