care to share what the right debuff are?
Destroyer, Insidious Code and Vector/Distruption Field?
First two are correct, the last two not so.
Destroyer is what I call "the critical", without destroyer you won't get to do much damage, even with the other debuffs. Why? Destroyer has the highest viral res debuff (with boni to 220+), which leads to a nullifying of a certain resistance. After that any additional debuffs will lead to a dramatic increase of damage done to an opponent. If you don't manage to get beyond the "critical", which you can't on the 60s with Insidious Code alone, the damage you deal more is rather insignificant. ("critical" = 0 resistance and then below, below limit is not yet known, possible negative limit is -300, limit is not -240, only because positive one is 240) If you miss Destroyer on the level 60s, forget about casting Insidous, a waste of time.
Vector and Disruption Field only do Viral Def debuffs, which are only neat if you want to hit more than normal. First debuffs in a row.
But even if you cast all those 4 (the last two to hit your abs and the first two to decrease resistance) with Damage upgrades on your part you will not exceed 180 damage. The trick lies in a third res debuff. That is the one you must find out now. But if you combine the 3rd with Insidious alone, you won't even do 150 with dmg upgrades. Nothing matters if you don't manage to get "critical", Destroyer is essential and also has the longest effect of those 3 debuffs. A 3rd res debuff will push the resistance far below the into the negatives. Tests showed that you can push it down to around -250 viral resistance.
THAT is when you do damage, yo, even if it's only for 2-3 shots or nukes and bombs. If you have a party of 6 hackers, a 60 is down, fast.
...pretty please?
