Toxic Gas Badly Nerfed?

[CalDW19940]

I had just updated with the free patch on PS3 and been playing bounty hunter and when I used my toxic shotgun class I noticed instead of my good 50 damage from every fart cloud now it only does 2. I wasn't sure if it was some glitch with tough as nails but the number comes up yellow as if that's the normal damage.

Has anyone else noticed this and if so are there any other changes to the gas to make up for the severe damage loss? It was already a rather underused slightly weak support item that needed a clsss built around it so i hope something else has been changed to make up for this.

EDIT: Okay from what I've seen now the recharge got a major buff, the recharge for the gass is now only about 3 or 4 seconds meaning it's now much better for controlling space and still confusing the enemy.

I still think the damage decrease is a bit severe as you tend to be still at risk when using the gas upclose but it's usefulness at controlling areas and blocking off entrances will help a lot. This is an amazing imrpovement I'm going to overlook the damage nerf

It is worth noting that the damage nerf appears to be a mistake. No word on if the cooldown reduction is the same but it was not mentioned.

I just unlocked it after the update, so.. I really have no idea. Was it better now or before?

It was MUCH better before, high damage, long lasting enough it could let you beat a group if you aimed well.

It kinda.. sucks now. They need to fix damage, but keep decrease time as of now.

Dang, Thanks for letting me know though.

I personally prefer it this way, the recharge time anyway.
