    Scorpio Shotgun

    What's the point of the poison debuff? With full status effects build it ticks with 37k, compared to the million of hp the enemies have it's completely useless...

    There is not point really, in PVE anything that isn't burn damge isn't relevant as dot damage as far status effect goes, so really it's just a tiny bit better than bleed, and with the nerf that scorpion got even proccing the poison isn't relevant since you need to be os much in their face that just regular shooting them will solve the problem in any shotgun build

    I'm using Scorpio and I'm liking it. I didn't use it in PTS but yesterday I did a legendary with my skill damage build and scorpio was a great help stopping the jangas with the hive and make them more easy to kill by my team mates.

    the scorpio is great as it is don't change anything. Bleed is perfect to use Ridgeway's pride. And if you don't the bleed is usefull cos it can finish mobs in the pack or running away

    I used it yesterday in the Summit clearing 100th floor with another player that never been at the top. We had 3 hunters and apart from the 'out-of-nowhere' skills they weren't any problem at all. Hit them few times with the Scorpio and they are immobilized and downed in a heartbeat. Not sure if this is going to stay this way to be honest, have yet to try this weapon on Keener.

    Now that I have the Scorpio from the Season 4 rewards track, I'm going to use it in my Vile mask/Eclipse Protocol build and see how it works with that.

    That was my go-to build as soon as i got the shotgun
    the poison is useless, the rest of the effects absolutely reck everthing in range

    still sad that all the damaging status effects, except fire, are totally useless...

    My tactic is blind them, bleed them and Scorpio them.
