So apparently, nerfing doesn't increase the cap, it adds the points on. Which means I had 30 points sitting unused. I was planning on removing the nerf on Data Corruption since my point cap rose, but with this new development I guess I'll add some of the extra points into Viral Vulcan.
Viral Vulcan (60>90/220)
A purple tinged vulcan which fires three shots. The shots can be focused on one enemy or spread out to damage several. 2 turn cooldown.
3 hits of 20>30 damage, dividable
My points now stand at 210/220, which is what they were before, or so I thought.
