1. There is still going to be some scenario where it will kill where a DYK wouldn't.


There is no situation I can think of other than what we have now, where that could be the case. Let's say you make it so the DoT kills if you get three BODY shots. Well, Timur's lash can do that by default. Fail. A legendary is going to match or beat it in every situation except the current one.


Timur's Lash has a much slower RoF though. With Thorn, you could quickly dish out the pain, then retreat back to cover while your DoT snags the kill.


99% of the time you'd be shot 3 times before the DoT killed your target, and if you just keep shooting to land a 4th and kill them immediately, it's not relevant anyway.

Things are different on paper than they are in the field.

Claude's right. You DO have a problem with absolutes.

Try changing 99% to 25% and then we're getting closer to anecdotal metrics.
