Is acid bite bugged?

[Raventric]

Acid bite seems to kill almost every boss in the game including drake in about 2 seconds. Even on a lv 20 toon with trickster build it seems beyond broken.

if it cost 120 mana then i think it's worthy for the damage it dealt
so it's equivalent to like 4 ice bolt's damage (70x4)
but im quite sure it's nothing compare to the later game content, current game is EA, which means lots of are have not release yet, and current player level cap is 25.
but judging by the size of the world map, there will be level 100 monsters waiting for us lol

yeah with the staff perk it takes 1.5s to cast it still, but even with my 20 int now i can't 1 shot the lvl 28-30 guys. Oh i see now the trickster makes it so they get stunned i thought it was just a fear but stun is much better.

its quite op, 2 casts on an matron and if your lucky enough to crit multiple times shes dead, and with mass destruction and terror you can stun anything in the area. only downside is the range.

With full int its pretty guaranteed an ohk.
Terror makes it look funny as they die, they fold themself multiple times.

I wouldn't be surprised if mass destruction is the reason for the dmg, as acid blast deals a lot rapid but weak hits so mass destruction and the skill before increase it by a lot.

devs said already that acid bite is currently doing its listed dmg MULTIPLE times per cast which is not intended behavoir.

Ah that explains why a scavenger boss melted me instantly when i got hit by it.

I find that the relatively short range of the acid bite makes it more reasonable. I feel i need to get dangerously close to hit enemies with it.

Honestly even with how powerful it is there are some cases where you can die fast. An example was when I was fighting the bird enemy in the desert. It takes some time to cast, even with the skill to reduce the time. So you have to time the cast really well and hope it hits the target if its moving fast which the bird does. I've died a few times this way because it took a while to cast so I think the damage is justified. Once they increase the level cap and enemies I doubt it will be good enough and they may have new spells for us anyways.

On the lvl 30 ones its rare to get a 1 cast kill, but i think you have to position yourself just right for it to 1 shot.

I'm too talking about the lvl 30 ones, the pair at the sun temple in the southeastern corner.

Its rather rare to not kill them with one decent hit. That was with 22/23 int and most mage +dmg skills.

On my warrior build with 8 int and no mage skills it was rare to onehit them, yet not impossible.

As said before if you get the position right then yea, you can os them, but its not guaranteed, and i usually need 2 casts. and i do also have all the potential int that one can get, thanks to glowing soup and the meat wrap, and skill points obviously.

you can disagree as much as you like, its usually a 50/50 for me to os them, might be because im playing on a server with bad latency, might be because i get unlucky with crits, who knows.
