Degenerative interface damage proc only procing once

Hello,

I recently made a T2 radial degenerative interface and when i was testing it out i noticed something.

The Damage over time proc only seems to hit the target once and then stops working. I tested this on the target dummies and rikti in the RWZ. Each time the target is poisoned for 1 tick of usually 11 damage and thats it.

Those target dummies aren't the best as they don't register damage unless its a crit from what I've noticed, or a KB affect. And if you tried it on the level 35ish Rikti outside the base that you can basically one shot as a level 50 or 50+1, you might only get a single tick before the target dies.

Go wail on a Pylon and then post the results?

Yes i also tested it on the rikti, malta and other assorted enemies outside the compound, it only ever seems to tick once. Unless i've been incredibly unlucky. Is anyone else having this same problem? or am i going bonkers?

What I mean is, can you copy and paste from the game here?

Righto, sorry my bad. Well, i must've had an unlucky streak before, so theres probably nothing to worry about (and now i feel quite silly). i'm going to post slices against rikti bosses i can find, each slice was ~10 seconds apart. Just to make sure.

I am using the t2 degenerative if that makes any difference.

There are a few with more ticks then 1. But as said, i could just be having an unlucky streak or my T2 may just have a much lower chance of achieve the higher amount of ticks.

The DoT interfaces get up to 5 ticks. Each tick gets a separate chance to fire, and the t2 radial has only a 25% proc rate. So getting 1 tick from an attack should be pretty common. However, you should be getting at least one tick most of the time - with the results you posted, only 18 attacks out of 73 had ticks at all.

Among the ticks you did get, the distribution between 1/2/3 ticks seems pretty normal for a 25% proc rate, although it's hard to say without a much larger sample. However, it's strange that you didn't get more ticks total. I wonder if maybe it's doing something weird, like giving a 25% chance to apply the DoT, and then each tick has 25% chance of happening?
