Beam Rifle Disintegration Spread Issues

Disintegration itself does not have a chance to spread the status effect if used on a disintegrating target despite the fact that it is a single target Beam Rifle attack power.

I'd wonder more why Piercing Beam doesn't spread disintegrate, than why disintegrate itself cant make it spread further.

That's a single target sniper attack, after all.


Clearly, we need more lasers.

Piercing Beam is not a single target sniper attack. Penetrating Ray is the sniper attack, and it does cause spread.

Ah... This has been your regularly scheduled me bring a moron. Carry on.

I'm wondering if anyone has noticed anything off about Defender spread values? Specifically Lancer Shot doesn't seem to spread half the time as the latest figures suggest.

Haven't done any scientific tests with it but I was hunting spawns in Talos using Lancer as a follow up to Disintergrate and it seemed a lot less than 50%

I had the same thought on my Corruptor. Again, it's purely anecdotal, but it definitely doesn't feel like 50%.
