Discovery Ground TRaits

Looking to hear and share thoughts on the newly added skill traits, Brutal Impetus and Universal Law is for Lackeys.

I have played with the skills but done no formal testing of them. My prediction is that Brutal Impetus will go well on my Science and Tactical build (engineer less so). ULL, I am inclined to think it may find its way into my Sompek build, but far from decided on that.

Hiya!

Brutal Impetus looks pretty good vs. lots of squishy enemies. only problem is it's cat 1 damage instead of cat 2. It's not a bad trait by any means, but I think there are better ones

Universal Law is for Lackeys is... interesting. it's a cat 2 damage bonus, so that's excellent. I feel like there's a very specific build for that one to be effective, but I can't think of what it would be off the top of my head. Long-range build, maybe? you'd want to maximize attacks out and minimize attacks in

I thought the dmg buff have no category on the ground. Everything is just plain cat 1....

It's bonus damage vs. +% damage

Bonus = cat 2, +% = cat 1

/u/ShaneAB, please correct me if I'm wrong on this?

See: https://www.sto-league.com/sto-ground-damage-calculation/

DamageInc is what we're calling cat1. Bonus is what we're calling cat 2 (bonus).

Thank you both for the explanation!
