He’s 100% wrong. No idea what he is talking about. They don’t prime or detonate or anything, and the bonus damage they provide is additive like everything else in this game, so with a even halfway decent build you’ll be lucky to benefit 15% - 20% extra damage at most out of these.

Very bad ability, and no inscription can fix that. Bioware needs to really update and take a look at some of these horrible abilities, and make some damage bonuses (especially ones from abilities/components) multiplicative, so that they can actually do something useful besides taking up space in my inventory, as I don’t plan on deleting legendary items until some form of legendary ember currency is introduced.
