How would the Bola’s Target Finder go on Mellka?

Since venom counts as skill damage, would envenomed enemies then take the bonus damage from the target finder?

Might be worth a loadout slot if so.

I don’t have that item to test it out but if someone does I would definitely like to know if it works or not. I’m not actually sure I’d use it over another item though. The skill damage on it would give you like 1 extra damage per tick, then an extra 5.39% to all skill damage, but most of my damage comes from the pistol anyway so that wouldn’t really help me over attack damage or attack speed.

Bola’s target finder gives

+skill dmg
+attack speed (changed from healing received in patch)
special effect: Damage enemies with Skills increases damage dealt to them by +5.39% (ish) for 10 seconds.

The special effect is the main thing I’m interested in.

As long as you’re coating people in venom they’ll take the venom damage + increased damage from all sources.

Once you get venom bullets you can debuff the entire enemy team.

The extra tick of damage is negligible but I feel that it could be a good team play item.

Ahh, I was looking up its stats here: http://battleborn.wikia.com/wiki/Bola’s_Target_Finder

So healing received it attack speed now, huh? Also I misread the damage increase and didn’t realize it was from all sources. Yeah if the venom triggers the effect that item would be ridiculously good.

That’s what I’m thinking.

The target finder has all kinds of unexpected utility.

I’ve even used it on a Phoebe build to get extra debuff on Phasegate approach and ult damage with a little bonus to attack speed.
