- Narcus damage return seems to be capped at 52
- Narcus Damage return is mitigated by enemy Resistance
- You'd be amazed how often that extra damage is a big fat 0.

Basically, the Narcus's effect looks amazing on paper, but actually really sucks. even if you take 100+ Damage, you're doing 5-10 back from the Narcus.

Suggestion: Change it to 1/4 damage, capping at 15, unresistable via stats (but yes via elemental resists/ general DR)

This way, it won't be completely invalidated by resistance, while still not being overpowering.

If you capped the damage at 15, it would be worse than X damage, capped at 10, based on Stat weapons.

At least the X damage capped at 10 weapons DO 10 damage.

The Narcus is regularly doing 0 in PVE, even with a level 52 effect.

Effect level = 1/2 of damage taken and unresistable damage could be one solution. Another one might be allowing the status to be powered up from multiple damage instances.

I thought about that, myself, but it could be too overpowered if you consider someone hanging back and healing, then just releasing it all in one burst.

Could make it 2 round duration and prevent the power-up from refreshing duration, so you don't have that opportunity.

That would be interesting, Dev. What would the cap be?

There wouldn't be one.

We'll see if that's overtuned or not soon.
