Talk:Thunderfire

Under the "Notes" section, the article claims that the Incendiary Nova created by the Thunderfire's projectiles does more than the damage listed on the card. However, when doing some weapon testing to determine specific effects of skill bonuses, I noticed that I was getting completely different numbers. After removing interfering variables (equipment dropped, skills reset, badass bonus deactivated), I tested the Thunderfire extensively, and I can confidently say that the aforementioned note is completely false. The Fire nove actually does about 15% LESS damage than the value listed on the card. I think that the person who wrote that note probably forgot to account for elemental damage multipliers, and was testing versus a flesh target.

However, I also discovered that the actual shock-laser projectile does ~11% MORE damage than the value listed on the card. This leaves me wondering why the Devs left the listed value the way it is, when both the shock and incendiary damage are significantly different...?

In any case, As of the writing of this talk-note, I am going to be changing the article to be, well, factually correct. If anyone gets different results from me, I will post youtube videos of my testing process, and of course would like to see the opposing evidence. I have tested these results on three separate characters, all of which had no items equipped, deactivated badass bonuses, and no skill points spent.

Codially,
