Now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever seen it scourge either.
Although I use it as an opening attack because that's when you can make the most out of the +def.

"Hypocrisy, the human inherent." "Let not this work be wasted, apply yourself always."
I actually noticed this when testing it in the beta before it went live and it DOES scourge, just not in any useful way. Here is roughly how it works:
0. Fire the power
1. Do the scourge check against targets' health
2. Execute all of the damage ticks
3. Apply the scourge damage
Because of this mechanism, you need a target to be low enough in health at step 1 to pass the scourge check but still standing by step 3 to take the damage. I have seen it scourge on bosses and higher, but it's pretty rare.

Flavorice hit the problem right on the head here - unlike rain powers, which are pseudo pets that make an attack roll on each tick (and thus can scourge on each tick) HoB is an AE Dot that makes 1 single attack roll per target, so it can only check for scourge on the initial attack roll. HoB's damage looks similar to the rain powers because it's DoT does a LOT of small ticks and each tick only has a 60% chance to go off - but those checks are not to hit rolls and so no scourge check is made after the first to hit.

Hi all my question is why doesn't hail of bullets scourge? I used it many times and it has never scourged all other corruptors nukes scourge but hail of bullets and i would just like to know why? Because last i checked hail of bullets does less dmg then almost all the other nukes. Also i have used it on foes with low health and still no scourge. TY
