  • I always was wondering what exactly is meant by "exotic damage"


    Quote

    "Exotic Damage" is really not a type of energy (like Kinetic, Plasma or Antiproton are), but more a category of ability types.The best way to describe it is "Any damage dealt by a non-weapon source."This includes abilities such as Gravity Well and Tractor Beam (which are both Kinetic energy type), but also Eject Warp Plasma and Plasma Shockwave (which are both Plasma energy type).

  • but does it deal damage -> no -> does it drain shields -> yes -> exotic damage ===> so its causing damage... Very clever. I heard exotic damage are the yellow numbers that appear above the enemy. I am wondering cause i have more exotic damage than kinetic one and i simply cant believe its not coming from my weapons. My disruptor built could cause what damage than not from my weapons?

  • the yellow numbers is ALL the damage that you cause
    every weapon shot... every boff skill that causes damage... all plasma burn.... just everything

  • 1) damage - this is the damage you do to the enemy with your abilities
    2) support/assist - this shall be the bonus damage that has been done to the enemy because of your abilities
    3) healing - this is the points you heal from your group with your abilities
    4) prevention - this shall be the points in damage your group doesn't suffer because of your abilities

  • My Science alt uses gravimetric torpedoes and I notice that the AoE effect they trigger every once and a while is greatly effected by my exotic damage bonus. In fact... the AoE does significantly more damage than the torpedo itself. That would violate that chart if I am reading it correctly...

  • it doesnt



    does it cause damage -> yes
    does it require the activation of a weapon -> no (its an AoE that you dont have to activate each time it deals damage... it does it automatically)
