They weren’t joking when they said the Contagious Bond mod would literally break your game.
What it says on the tin is that when a companion kills a mob, it spreads half of its status effects, to other mobs in a 9m radius.
what it doesn’t say is that a mob that dies from the AoE of the initial kill, also count as a companion kill, essentially creating a chain reaction.
Which means, as the mod implies, the effect is contagious.
A little simulation:
A mob has 10 heat procs on it and is killed by companion, every other mob inherits 5 heat procs to them. Let’s say there is 10 mobs in the vicinity that caught the contagion.
There is now 10 mobs with 5 heat procs each. One dies.
9 mobs with 7 heat procs each. One dies
8 mobs with 10 heat procs each. One dies
7 mobs with 15 heat procs each. One dies
6 mobs with 22 heat procs.
5 mobs with 33 heat procs.
4 mobs 49 procs
3 mobs 77 procs
2 mobs 115 procs
1 mob 172 procs.
so with a single kill to a mob with a measly 10 proc, you could end up creating a chain reaction that could inflict unholy number of status effects on potentially the entire map
The moment my game froze for three minutes, I saw the numbers on a mob
40k heat procs
