So I was just looking over some video of a solo duke run I recorded (I'll link it later in a different thread) and I noticed that my gigawatt pulsar (lvl 10, no trinkets or buffs) was doing 177 damage against Vana with the expanded pellets, the exact same damage as they were doing to the slag walkers around him.

Have vana's weakness/resistances changed recently? The wiki still says his body phases are weak to piercing. I'm wondering if they maybe got patched at the same time that RJ got patched to be an actual jelly. Maybe Vana is actually properly undead now?

My Polaris used to do over 150 like yours a long time ago, recently it has been doing 90 something. I've been quite unhappy about that, since it does more even to neutral foes.

I hope what you're saying is true and it does more damage again. I'll try and see how much it does next run.

This I, too, have noticed.

I seem to recall my charged Blitz rounds dealing 146 a piece, but now they deal 104. I thought I was going crazy.

The FSC I did earlier today--er, late yesterday?--had my Blitz charges do 143 a bullet, and it's always been that way since I started (granted, I haven't been doing FSC for months and months like other people). I haven't really ever used Polaris or any other gun on him, but this is interesting information.

I did FSC last night and I'm still getting 143 on my blitz charges without buffers. It's the only gun I use on him so I can't speak for his elemental defence, but he's still weak to piercing. I'm not sure what's up with Lapper's blitz.

hmm

They specifically called out the changes to the JK's resistances. That change made sense because the JK is obviously a giant block-o-slime.

What color are everybody's (recent) numbers against the duke? I used a Gigawatt Pulsar 4* on him last night & it was defiantly giving me white numbers vs the duke in the body phases (didn't use it for the mask). Not that number color is very reliable or anything.

Divine avenger glitches between white and gray numbers. BTB is always orange/yellow.

Blitz is still yellow on the charge. I think the uncharged shots are white but I rarely use them so I can't confirm that.

There used to be a bug where the Pulsar line's blooming shot would do normal damage, so just a flat damage on everything. So how old are the recordings?

He has no resistance to shadow, he suffers even more damage than his slags with my faust, yet this wepon does more damage than a blizzbrand, (i know it IS weaker, but also sports a different damage).
Only some slight pierce weakness- the difference between him and a zombie isnt so high.

Tested with 4 swords 'till phase 3. Unsure if this changes for Phase 5 like wiki says.
