This would also include blasting potions, which also probably shouldn't be proccing anything.Pumatouch wrote: Mon Apr 20, 2020 2:52 pmIn other words, Napalm will stop being direct damage, pulsing and proccing all sorts of nice nice goodies. Careful what you wish for.

"Fixing" napalm means making it apply as DOT damage, which is probably far more correct considering once it's put down the Engi/Magus no longer have control over it. This was discussed a bit in the Bane Shield thread, and also needs to be updated in code somewhere.
