Phoneutria Fera's version of One-Two Punch is stealth nerfed. (+75% vs original's +150%)

[b][u]Phoneutria Fera's One-Two Punch only half as strong as the original.[/b][/u] It buffs melee damage by about 74.3%. The normal perk is +150%. Idk what else to say here, this just sucks. </3 [b]Please pass along if this is a bug, otherwise please pass along the feedback that they should consider reverting this change. It actually makes the perk useless (explanation below): [/b] To illustrate why this is a problem, consider the following melee rotation on a Solar Titan with Roaring Flames x3: shoot-melee-...(5 times total). Simple enough, that nets you about 450 DPS over ~5000dmg on new Carl. That would be fine... if you ignored how just spamming melee instead nets you over 500 DPS over the same timespan. [b][i]You get less DPS by actually trying to use the gun.[/b][/i] 1-2 Punch needs to buff melees by a certain amount in order to be worth wasting your time to shoot the gun in the first place. And with the new additive melee changes, unless you're just spamming unbuffed uncharged melees (which is still not much better) it's practically never worth it to shoot the gun when you could be just melee-ing again. [b][u]Since this nerfed version is so much weaker, it's practically never going to be useful, and becomes a noob-trap that baits players into wasting their time doing more for less.[/b][/u] [i](tested in shooting range, normal melee: 199, Fera 1-2Punch: 347, normal 1-2Punch shotgun: 495)[/i]
