Implosion doesn't do as it says in the description...

So, I've used implosion a few times and it's great. It's a real killer against any enemy with a large health pool. However, I have noticed that when it says it will do "75% of target's current health" as damage, it doesn't. For example, fighting the final boss. They have 2000 HP on normal mode. Implosion only does 500. That's 25%, not 75%.

Is there something I'm missing? I doubt even the final boss has mechanical damage threshold of 1000 and that it took that from implosion's damage... Or does it perhaps have 66% mechanical resistance? That second one seems much more likely.

It deals mechanical damage and does *not* bypass mechanical resistance.

Implosion is balanced around you doing everything you can to boost its damage.

So against enemies with even medium damage resistance you'll want to hit them with Expose Weakness and use a Proxy in order to do decent damage.

My favorite is to apply Expose Weakness with a Jackknife, as the AP cost is very low and you have time left to use Psi.

So, the final boss does actually have 66% mechanical resistance then? I didn't really expect it to be so high.

Players have gotten 95% in multiple resists before..
