Is "Scorch" glitched?

[Arioch]

scorch and poisons are good for when leveling against boss enemies. They help to counteract the bosses ability to heal very quickly.

By counteracting the heal ability you can take your time and attack the boss with weak attacks and take your time killing it so that you gain rep for multiple weapons.

When attacking a boss I try to get 120 rep per weapon (with 1 crew) I can sometimes get as high as 600 plus rep per boss kill by rotating weapons.

plain and simple the more times you hit the enemy the more rep you get so weak attacks net a lot more rep.
