It has flashs of energy if you look closely
it sounds like a "minigun" and the flashes seems like a rifle.
It actually does a DoT effect of 3 ticks of Lethal damage, if you check both the Detailed Info and the Combat Log. So, the tooltip and description are simply false.
In which case it seems like a bug making it use the wrong flash/sound and doing the wrong damage. At least I assume so since the text for all 3 backpack range attacks state energy.
Who cares if it's a bug or not! It looks alright and kills things!
I'd imagine a lot of people care if the power is doing the wrong type of damage.
They could just fix the tooltip and description to say it shoots bullets and does a Lethal DoT. NPC Crabs do it so why shouldn't we?
True, but one way or the other it needs fixing, don't it?
However, do the other two backpack shots do lethal or energy? Surely it should be in line with those.
NPC Crabs do lethal and NOT energy with their Longfang? :O
Never knew that anyway.. Well, why change it to Lethal if everything else the backpack uses is Energy?
It's a friggin' hi-tech backpack. Why shouldn't it be able to shoot both bullets and energy blasts? The Crab offensive tree is already both Lethal and Energy based.
And there's nothing to 'change' in the power, just the tooltip, Longfang has always shot bullets (short burst of 3 bullets) and bullets do lethal damage. The power already does lethal damage both for NPCs and players, it's just the tooltip that shows it as High Damage [Energy] instead of High DoT [Lethal].
It fires grenades too.
And does hi tech stabbaty-stabbaty.
I really should do something about this signature.

Ummm, Is I can see in the "longfang" description:
"Your Longfang Channelgun may also fire SHORT BURST OF ENERGY, causing greater damage. This attack also reduces your foes defense."
But my toon fires "bullets" like a gun, I cant see anything similar to "energy"... is this a bug?
