Energy Manipulator does an 8s mag 2 Stun, Triumphant Insult does a 3s mag 1 Stun (won't even Stun a minion). 1 Get busy living... or get busy dying. That's goddamn right.

As useful as a rubber duck in the Sahara Thanks I (think?) there are a few oasis in the sahara. If you have a character running 1-3 powers that AoE disorient (even if mag 2 they stack) and you can slap this in a fat patch AoE with a slow enough recharge not to screw the proc rate, then...maybe...it becomes a math gamble that might be worth it.

You're on the right track here. Stun/Disorient mags stack. (Reminder: you need more mag than their rank. Minions are rank 1 so you need mag 2 or higher to stun them. Lts 2 and 3 respectively. Bosses 3 and 4 respectively.) That Unspeakable Terror (which I believe is mag 2, not mag 1) proc in cloak of fear will stun a minion for 8 seconds when it activates. But when you are also running Oppressive Gloom (mag 2) and it hits, then the proc activating gives you a mag 4 effect for however long the overlap is and that will stun bosses. Who run Bartertown?

Yeah I have found some magic on my Dark Dark Dark Corruptor in this alley. Dark has a mag 2 ranged AoE stun. Most folks shun it. But Dark Mastery has a mag 2 stun aura. Which is also relatively worthless …. Anyone else here do math? I toss the ranged stun then run into the mobs. If they seem particularly evil i nuke immediately. If not I Soul Drain, Tar Patch, Nuke, then step back to cone fear and start killing anything left standing. I did not build for defense. My defense is those stuns, tohit debuff, fear etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a "patch" power, its recharge will typically be irrelevant to its proc rate -- it will proc as though it has a 10s recharge + animation time. This is the pseudopet thing. All patches are pseudopets. HC may have special-cased a few patches (Burn?), but most work this way. Edited February 8 by aethereal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
