Yomo Kimyata Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Does anyone have any detailed info on this power, or know how I can find same? In the power description it says: +FlashPulse +Self Destruct +Fly, but I don't see any other information. I'd like to get an idea of damage, to hit debuff, and stun capabilities. Thanks for your help! Who run Bartertown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never have thought to click on the "+" in one million years. I'm not sure what to make of the Self Destruct and Fly, if anything. I was really hoping that there was some way to enhance the damage, or the probability of stun, or the magnitude of stun. Basically, I was wondering what wonders would ensure if I slotted it with +5 Absolute Amazement or +5 Ragnarok. Seemingly two wonders: jack and squat... Who run Bartertown?

drbuzzard Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 They never have been there for damage. They are meant to debuff the target. Mostly it's a -damage, but with a bit of -1to hit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're additional powers the pseudo pets have. Fly being what lets them fly through the air (otherwise they'd be stuck to the ground and "jumping", which would look supremely silly). Self Destruct will remove them after (hopefully after) using Flash Pulse. Not really particularly interesting from an enhancements PoV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VileTerror Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 They also have a secret purpose: Absorbing the Alpha of a mob. With my completed Traps Builds, my order of operations is: Seekers spawned from a distance directly in to the centre of the mob. Leap in and drop a Poison Trap. Drop the Acid Mortar immediately afterward. Caltrops. and Web 'Nades as necessary. With my Force Field Generator close behind to keep me protected from those enemies who recover from the stacked Control and Debuffs. I don't bother with Trip Mine any more. It's too much of a pain to really get anything out of them, and I use other Powers to carve in to the enemies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second your suspicion. Eventually I'll get around to testing it out, more or less. Unfortunately the seeker drones don't proc enhancements, not sure of the exact underlying reason but I remember a similar issue occurring with the Crab Spider's Omega Maneuver, probably because the power accepts Target AoE sets but the actual pet power is PBAoE and if it's following pet rules, would mean the power wouldn't accept that proc. Havig said that even the Cloud Senses dmg proc doesn't go off so... 🤷♂️ Edited February 16, 2020 by 10kVolts InGame: @10kVolts | Tenkay's Log Combat Parser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think everything needs procs. You added procs to your washing machine and turned your super-suit into a fishnet body stocking. You dropped out of medical school when you discovered that proctology had nothing to do with procs. You even tried to "enhance" oatmeal with procs (those scars really don't look too bad, by the way). 😛 1 4 Get busy living... or get busy dying. That's goddamn right.

Hedgefund Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 The -dmg from each of the drones stacks so this particular debuff is powerful and reason enough to take seekers. Bummer to hear about procs but more often than not I’m slotting Cloud Senses for bonuses not effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li_Sensei Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Personally, I tend to use them as pocket ablative alpha absorbers. Summon them in the middle of a spawn, let them take the alpha, then I have less to worry about heading my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the concept is that the Cloud Sense proc "goes off" on summoning, which is not an action that results in damage? Disappointing. Who run Bartertown?

But everything is better with procs. I mean, just imagine if we could put MORE procs. Like... Chance to Knockdown on an Ally Heal 😄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, and they do a good size debuff to enemy offense after they blow, so they're perfect for the role really. I usually just slot mine for x4 cloud senses to get the bonuses and be done with it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the case, if you pop Siphon Insight chance for +ToHit that fires off when you launch the drones. It's frustrating, nothing seems to remain consistent when it comes to pseudo pet powers. InGame: @10kVolts | Tenkay's Log Combat Parser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
