I’m a new player and at least at present strictly play PVE with a friend of mine that is also new. I enjoy the look and feel of pistols and I am not so squishy at range for the bounties and bosses.

My question is as I start to unlock skill trees and gain access to abilities like leeching venom if I use venoms with the P/P will leeching venoms help? Does it scale from power or condition damage? Or is its damage too negligible to consider.

Thanks

The damage component scales off your power. The heal component off your heal. Obviously the more persons hsared with the more significant the damage component..

Your best bet is to go here and plug in the traits yourself to see how each component of damage changes.

Also life stealing damage can’t crit, BUT It also bypasses all targets armor.
