Kinetic Carbine amplifies Mystic Shot damage

[jeff.merckens]

Kinetic Carbine is worded that, "The damage dealt is an amplification of your current weapon damage."; I don't think that the "bonus spirit damage" from Mystic Shot should be amplified by Kinetic Carbine, as it's not actually weapon damage.

Also, it turns an already really strong item (Mystic Shot) into too strong on Paradox, so I suppose an alternative would be to lower the bonus spirit damage on Mystic Shot (as it's currently a really strong item for the money for just about every character) and maybe also the max damage amplification on Kinetic Carbine, since Paradox is also currently extremely strong.

This is intended, as Kinetic Carbine is actually a self buff that empowers a bullet and then converts the bullet to spirit damage after impact. It's weirdly selective about what weapon items count, though, as ricochet shots and silencer don't work but mystic shot and tesla bullets do.

Kinetic carbine doesn't amplify mystic shots damage? i just tested it it. mystic shot is just flat damage added to the shot. not only that but mystic shots damage is affected by damage falloff when kinetic carbines damage isn't. so i think its fine and working as intended atm
