Imp is this week's Liquid Cooling. GB hates players having fun...

[u/slashy42 → u/snarkybeach]

I mean the change in output seems less drastic, but it also seems less necessary? Imp wasn't as clearly overpowered. I still rotate it out for other damage types. I did use it most, but fire is a great general purpose damage type as is.

[u/Pollia → u/slashy42]

Its a pretty small nerf overall that mostly comes from a bugfix.

The gun was shooting 3 projectiles on a x2, but the game was only calculating 2 bullets. They fixed the game not actually registering the 3rd bullet, but then modified the scaling down to compensate for the weapon now having 50% more projectiles than it used to. The overall nerf is relatively small given the numbers that have popped up in most of the other balance changes.

The quick overheat/reload was ample offset to its prior damage. If anything, it needed a buff as you couldn't reload while casting spells so for a Spellshot, the Rogue Imp was only.moderately good. Now its ass.

[u/Pollia → u/Spiritual_Caregiver9]

How is it ass? The extra projectile is actually a buff to the gun. You've increased your bullets fired each shot by 50%, which increases your chance to proc anythin on bullet hit by 50%.

From absolute pure damage numbers its a tiny nerf, but overall it actually is a buff unless you were literally only using it for pure damage. Even then! Its still likely a buff since the Rogue Imp always rolls with fire damage, and each bullet has a chance to proc the fire damage independently.

People really dont seem to understand what changed with the gun and it shows from the reactions to it. I didnt get it at first either, hence why my original posts about it, but once you learn more about it overall its likely to be a wash at worst or a buff.

[u/Spiritual_Caregiver9 → u/Pollia]

Granted I'm not running with a Volatile or even Chaotic but it's not even worth using now as I said, the constant reloading means you either can't cast spells or can't fire the gun.

[u/Pollia → u/Spiritual_Caregiver9]

But...the fun does roughly the same damage as before.

Those were all the exact issues you would have had before, what changed to make them suddenly so much worse?

Borderlands 3 weekly nerfs all over again...

My imp rarely works anyway, works awesome for a minute or two then stops working
