Honestly, it's about time.

*ahem*

Would appreciate some acknowledgement.

Hot Shot is an amazing name for a bullet X3
i approve

 

[Tetrahedron]

Hot shots. Best name ever.

Nicely done! Especially on the debuff! Are you sure 2 seconds isn't good enough?

It was difficult to decide whether I liked Incendiary shot or Hot shot better. In either case, this would make Hellstone actually worth grinding for more than once.

I think they should be called Incendiary Bullets, because that's what they are called in real life. But I think the recipe should be...

x50 +

= Incendiary Bullets

 

[SzGamer227]

x50 +

= Incendiary Bullets

That would make it a post-Mech ammo... :l

I thought they dropped after WoF, Isn't it?

That's correct, but the point was that it was supposed to be Hell-tier ammo.

Oh yeah. Got confused. It's Red Devils that spawn post Mech.

Still, it's a simple Musket Ball upgrade. Hell tier is more reasonable for its relatively simple effects.

There is no point wasting hellstone on bullets that inflict one second of "on fire". Even the Frostburn debuff lasts for something like seven, and that does two damage per tick instead of one. One second of On Fire is going to do about 2 or 3 damage, so why? I don't understand.

Yeah, and I've never used that either. Same reason: no point.

Keep in mind that you're going to be shooting several bullets per second. Only one of those bullets per second has to land in order to keep the debuff going.

EDIT: Not just that, but Incendiary shot has a greater base damage.

i like this idea but how would you get hell cinder?

 

[Radenium]

But if you are doing that much damage with the bullets, the debuff isn't going to play any real part in the kill. If you want a debuff that does actual damage, use frostburn arrows. You can get then a LOT earlier too.

 

[ppowersteef]

bullets =/= arrows

That's the problem with DoT. Unless you're trying to maintain a debuff on several enemies at once, there is no point in having a debuff duration longer than one second. If you have a problem with this, than you have a problem with all DoT debuffs, because they all deal a pathetic amount of damage compared to the weapon itself.
