Dev Blog: Regarding Weapons that deal a % of an enemy's health

[VROOMIGoRealFast]

What about boss dmg awakens why aren't these effective

Boss % damage from Awakening will not be affected because of their low values and the ability for these to appear on later weapons. The problem with things like the Dragon Hunter Staff is that in order for a future weapon to be better, it has to have a higher $ health damage. Dragon Hunter staff is already 12.5% when it procs, and we already see comments of "insta-kill bosses". This isn't very healthy for the game
