I did have to nerf this idea down from minw0's original idea:

Spoiler: What other players say about this idea

Here's what some players have said about this idea:

Sky High [Σ]:
sadly no id i vote yes and maybe this buff make game ez..hm 125 per sec true damage bit overpowered.. or not im not sure

[14:05]
Myoule:
:v
so
all bullets
are mutated?

[14:05]
timkit [™۞]:
yeah, its basically a damage overtime effect on infected
meaning you won't need to be close in order to damage them

[14:06]
Myoule:
still tho
no bullet chance
if all of the bullets shot are mutated
it's too op

[14:19]
timkit [™۞]:
should be better now

[14:21]
Myoule:
yes
why won't it work with shamans
oh
nvm

[14:29]
timkit [™۞]:
shamans give mutation, should be obvious lol
also would be op if it worked with shotguns

[14:30]
Myoule:
shotguns i can understand

[15:58]
Sensation [Σ]:
nerf the true damage to 100
and it seems good

[16:04]
timkit [™۞]:
done
its now current level/3

[16:05]
Sensation [Σ]:
cool

[17:22]
Sensation [Σ]:
make it
current lvl / 2.5
for perfect 100 damage
and for tanks since its already 1/3 true damage
it will dead 33 damage
deal*
also can you please explain me the buff enhancement
i cant seem to understand it

[17:54]
timkit [™۞]:
here's how the buff currently works
by calculations
if you were to unlock the buff at level 201:
its 67 true damage to non-tanks
at max level, its 83 true damage to non-tanks
on tanks: at level 201 its 44 true damage, at max level its 55 true damage
and its this true damage per second for 10 seconds
for this debuff to activate, its a 3% chance per bullet with everything that isn't a shotgun
if you were to get the buff enhancement
it removes the true damage penalty on tanks and makes it the same damage regardless of the infected
therefore, 67 and 83 true damage respectively
also the chance on non-tanks is increased to 5%

[17:58]
Sensation [Σ]:
and how long does the debuff stay?

[17:58]
timkit [™۞]:
the debuff is for 10 seconds

[17:58]
Sensation [Σ]:
the true damage dps

[17:58]
timkit [™۞]:
and only 3 tanks, it can't work on
shaman, supreme shaman and manipulator tank
that's it
everything else can be affected

[17:58]
Sensation [Σ]:
so its high damage
83*10 is 830

[17:58]
timkit [™۞]:
its a damage overtime effect if you can get the debuff on the tank ^^

[17:59]
Sensation [Σ]:
take it down to 5 seconds
and buff it by curret level / 2.5
so it will be 100*5
500 is viable
and 5 seconds duration
that way tank wont be debuffed for long
it wont be OP
and we would have enough damage as well
thats my suggestion on balancing it
coz 10 seconds is way too op

[18:06]
timkit [™۞]:
changed
but im keeping the chance the same
and the tank immunity

[18:06]
Sensation [Σ]:
chance?
tank immunity is perfect
idm that
but the damage was op
according to me
are you talking about the 3%?
if yes
then thats perfect as well

[16:44]
Chach [⁂]:
its um
i dunno
meh

[20:28]
Seve |:
ooh look nice the idea

[20:37]
iKiroZz:
well i can say its reasonable debuff for player with reasonable price but try to nerf it a little bit

[20:39]
Gemini [™۞]:
nicee nice nice

 

seems feedback from players in -game chat its kinda OP.

Maybe make it an item obtainable from players with level 230 onwards? or whichever level MG thinks is appropriate.

 

If you wanted to know what the buff and buff enhancement originally was, given its OP state:

The problem with this is that there's a lot of true damage going out all at once, especially if all players targeted a tank at the same time. Nerfing it was the only way to ensure that it was kept as a more simple debuffer buff effect rather than a DPS effect.

Anyways I nerfed the buff and buff enhancement costs ^^
