Corrupter Electric Blast ZAPP not taking Snipe IO's

[r0y]

I made an Elec/Time Corrupter tonight, PL'd it up to mid 30's and started to IO it out... imagine my surprise when I attempted to drag a Sting of the Manticore IO onto Zapp and zapp grayed out / did not take the sniper attack set.  I hovered over the power and saw that it was supposed to take it.

 

I asked in /help if any other AT (defender or blaster) version of ZAPP had the same issue, and several replied their blasters did not have the issue.  I cannot confirm that, but thought it might be helpful.

 

All I tested was the Sting of the Manticore set (I had purchased 3 catalyzed versions of the IO's) on my Corrupter.  

 

Ultimately, I ended up deleting the toon due to the horridly-poor damage of electric blast (ball lightning and zapp in particular); however, for posterity and per GM Conviction's request, I made this thread.

I rolled a BEAM RIFLE / Time Corrupter and guess what?  Penetrating Ray is not taking the Sting of the Manticore IO's.   Did something happen with CORRUPTER snipes?  Or the Sting set?  Both?

 

How many Corrupter snipes do not take snipe IO's?

 

EDIT:  Ok, logging back in later (after work) it seems they are taking them now.  Not sure what was happening.
