Finally pulled myself away from my seven-year-old recreated characters and previously-paywalled powersets to try the sentinel archetype for the first time, and something odd happened on my first outing.
I'd been reading that I shouldn't expect all that much from the Opportunity mechanic, but when my DP/Fire rolled out, the result was a nearly-uninterrupted arresting rampage all around Atlas and the Hollows. I'd thought they were supposed to be like semi-ranged Scrappers, but I was playing like a semi-ranged Brute, and chaining Opportunities into each other before the bar could drain. Hit level 6 before it even occurred to me something was off.
But once I hit level 8 (and the entire time I later played a Beam/Rad), the Opportunity bar would empty completely once the buff wore off and start building anew...which I gather is supposed to be how it works? For a brief, glorious period, my Opportunity bar was instead decaying like Fury, and as long as I was attacking, I could literally end one Opportunity and go immediately into another. Was this just some weird server glitch?
And if that's not how Opportunity usually works, well...could it?
Weird (convenient) Opportunity bug?
