Power burn does deal damage based on the power lost, hence it being burn and not power drain. Not fair, but understandable
Power burn does deal damage based on the power lost, hence it being burn and not power drain. Not fair, but understandable That can't be right.
Just curious .. I keep reading them and can't seem to understand it. I know they aren't considering power burning of POWER a damage over time or passive damage type are they?

Power burn technically is a DOT effect and since abs is immune to it you don't take any of his power. While it's kinda ridiculous think of DOT effects as any red damage. Doom can steal his power cause that's not a burn.

Doom can steal his power cause that's not a burn. I already bit on that part of it. But considering the fact that the "direct" damage is a secondary effect AFTER the power is taken, my initial statement still stands .... fine take the damage but the whole rule of what happens first poop that they've often dished out with various other nodes, I don't see why that rule somehow doesn't apply here.The power taken is not a result of the damage done ... it's the opposite. The damage done is a result of the power taken. So then .. yeah .. but I get it ... like I said .. poop.
Would be nice if we could get an official response from the Kabam team on this subject. It's causing confusion and seems inconsistent with descriptions.Taking Vision as a example: special abilities state they "Burn X power and inflict Direct Damage"1) Are these separate effects or a singular one?2) Is "power burn" considered a DOT effect? Are power drain or power steal too?3) is Direct Damage considered a passive damage effect or DOT?It all seems very convenient that these unofficial explanations have been popping up, would be nice to have an official statement.
Powerburn is a DoT because of Peni Parker. She has a DoT that does powerburn damage, and to keep consistency (because having multiple types of powerburn could cause issues in the future) they decided to just have all powerburn be categorized as a DoT. So if you want to blame anyone, blame peni

However the new node introduced in Winter of Woe begs to question if this is correct or not.The description in Vision 's abilities states:"Burns up to X max power AND inflicts direct damage"

However the new node introduced in Winter of Woe begs to question if this is correct or not.The description in Vision 's abilities states:"Burns up to X max power AND inflicts direct damage"This sounds like they are two separate effects, 1) removal of power, 2) damage dealt based on power removed.Peni Parker's Special 3 inflicts a Power Burn debuff, which already seems like a different power burn.Perhaps there needs to be a larger discussion around the existing and planned effects within the game but it gets confusing from a player perspective if these interactions are bugs or intentional.
If this has already been discussed, it shouldn't be too much of an ask to get an official statement.
To clarify, I was just hoping for a "we've passed it on to the team" or "looking into it" note but 🤷♂️.The info Pikolu and DNA provided is insightful and helps explain the current state. Whether all power burn should be DOT effects or not is ultimately Kabams call. But hopefully the concerns voiced by others will be considered.Side note: I forgot Guardians were added to the forums a while back. They really should give you guys some flair in the mobile view

The explanations are great. I understand the information, but it doesn't take away from the fact that the game is only as complex as it is because they made it this way. Why make a champ's abilities work in such a way that it impacts how other champs' abilities function?
