Ascendant Electric Prod, Not a One Shot...

[ReaperOneActualTTV]

So last night, in an attempt to put down a Lvl 120 Quetz in SP, I grabbed my Ascendant Electric Prod, some parachutes, kibble, and ton of narcotics, hopped on my Ptera and headed out. After a few failed attempts at jumping off of my bird, and hitting the Quetz with the prod, I nailed it, perfect dismount, shocked the Quetz, buckled him, deployed the chute, only to float down, look up and see him flying around like nothing had even happened. Perfectly planned and decently executed. Yet, the end result? No joy.

you would probobly need a dozen to down that

See, I was under the assumption, that the Primitive Prod, was a shot on most. So I figured with the Ascendant, one would do the trick, boy was I mistaken haha

I think the prim prod does around 400 torpor and I would guess that an ascendant one would be around 1-2k torpor. Best thing to do is test it against one of your tamed dinos, probably be best to remove the saddle then shock it and see how much torpor it took off. Try it a few times and see if it is consistant. Once you get a good solid number compare that to the 15k torpor on a 120 quetz and see how many ascendant prods you will need to bring it down.

Uhhh yeah poor research on your part. Electric Prod does 1 damage and 266 torpor, if quality is anything like it is elsewhere then ascendant should affect % damage and nothing to do with torpor anyways. Regardless, a level 120 Quetzal has over 15,000 torpor.

Eh? More damage absolutely does more torpor.

Take a standard bow with tranqs. At 100 dmg it does 90 torpor. Bump it up to 150 dmg and it'll do 180 torpor. I would assume that the prod would work the same way.

My Ascendent prod does instant 760 odd torpor, tested on my Brontos. Not sure why you thought yours would one shot a Quetz.

I understand that but I dont know how the electric prod is designed to work in terms of base damage + % damage or if it just does a flat base damage given that it is 1.

To be completely honest, I just wanted to see if I could actually hit the damn thing, after jumping from my bird, and was surprised that it didn't put it down in one shot, because this was all on a whim, therefore, no research was completed before said event.
