The plasma cloud AoE DOT effect is a cool idea that I think should be implemented. Punish tanks when they decide no to move |

Punish tanks when they decide no to move Yes, since there is no such weapon today. It should make the plasma cannon unique and give it a tactical specialization for taking out tanks at close range. However, maybe the metal of the target hit by the plasma projectile should start melting causing damage over time. A ground target AOE is not that great, now that I have thought about it: You can just ride away from it and not take any damage.
They could but what if they don't notice at first? Could also act as anti-infantry by giving as obstacle in chokepoints |

Could be together. Like when the plasma contacts a surface it coats the surface with it and causes DoT. Like hit a group of enemies and they all get coated in the splash radius and take DoT definitely making the one shot per load less of a disadvantage |

With the idea of a plasma slag that coats the blast radius that would create many different variants.
But we gotta ask ourselves. Is this DoT effect right to be paired with the Plasma Cannon or should that be a new weapon.?Cause then should the Plasma Cannon just have initial detonation damage, DoT coating utility like acid., contain both damage abilities, or create a new weapon to have DoT and improve upon the scaling of the Plasma Cannon. |

The area denial DOT weapon could be something else.
I know, but honestly the Plasma Cannon just needs some extra love to make the overall weapon class better. Like without the speculation on new effects I think:
-Adv and Proto scaling needs to be adjusted so you aren't paying 46k more for a lil over 100 damage.
-Perhaps like breach variants being greatly higher power but longer charge up
-A variant with like 3 shots per clip that when charged all 3 shots come out in a burst each having a lowered payload equaling about a bit over the standard in damage. You just have room for error to miss all 3 shots.
-A lowered direct damage but greater splash damage variant |
