Mr. Sinister SP1 not transferring degens

I've used Sinister in a few fights of the Biohazard EQ path, and he's not converting all of the bleeds into degeneration like he used to. Sometimes it's only 2 or 3 degens, sometimes no degen, even though I'll have 10 or more bleeds on me.

Anyone else seeing this issue?

He purifies the bleeds at the start of the special

But those bleeds are supposed to turn into degeneration on the defender, 1 for each bleed or damaging rebuffed on Sinister. That's not happening anymore.

it’s the ‘seeing red’ node affect. Bleeds are removed on activation. Sinister is not great if you wanna spam 1. His sp 2 works though.

PS - don’t try that on Blade. He gains crazy power if you use sinister.

You are missing the point.. The node purifies the bleed to give you fury.. Before you transfer the degen.

Sinister doesn't work Like normal for the nodeset

Ah, I see what you guys are saying. Thanks!!

said another way, you have even fewer effective champs for that quest than you thought.

That’s a by product of Kabam reverting to TB EQ nodes from 2020.

I used him a few times in AW this morning and I noticed his degen damage was down significantly. Depending on the bleeds, I'd previously get +/- 10k degen tics/second. This morning I was maxing at 4-5k/second.

What's the node and which defender? Most likely though, the defender have Inequity mastery.

You can get a few degens on the defender if you still have the effect that places the bleeds running when you throw the special - you’ll purify, then get a few during the special and convert on the last hit. He’s not optimal for the nodes, but he’s not terrible - zeroing out the bleed damage is handy and the L1 can get rid of poisons if you screw up and hit block.
