Sharing a little bit of mon cherie: Level 50 Trap / Ar / Mace Defender - Cherie da Bom

No over the top plan / theme, just lots of ACC and DEF to pair with my Pew Pew.

Here's a couple vids of her in action from 20 to 50:

And here's the build plan. Only have Alpha and Hybrid T3d so far and might tweak the other powers once I see where her needs are:

Not providing a full critique, but a couple of notes:

Panacea +hp/end needs to be in an active power. Putting it in Triage Beacon is a poor choice. Better to put it in Health.
Damage procs don't work in Seeker Drones.
Damage procs don't work in Trip Mine (Force Feedback: +recharge works).

Dark Current · March 13, 2023

Double-checking your feedback as I was almost positive all those things did carry the procs through.

I can prove that Triage Beacon does trigger the heal. Vid Proof

I am testing the drones and mine again, but haven't had them trigger yet. I'll update if they do.

I mostly want the Panacea for the End regardless. But if the other two don't proc, I'll fiddle with a couple other options.

Thanks

Your thoughts gave me a couple ideas and my tests pointed out how this can work. Gonna test something and post when I'm done.

I wasn't suggesting that Triage Beacon wouldn't trigger the Panacea proc. But do you keep Triage Beacon out 100% of the time? It's a stationary pseudo-pet, so I only spawn it for protracted fights. And you need to stay in range of Triage Beacon (40 feet) in order to continue receiving the heal/endurance from the proc. Slotting the proc in an auto power like Health results in your receiving the benefit continuously.

Some powers, like the Seeker Drones and Trip Mine, can take the procs as a slotted option, but do not actually have causal effect from them. The reason behind this stems from the nature of how the power works against how Procs themselves work. When you cast the Seeker Drones as an example they become a pet with specific abilities, but their specific abilities don't take on the nature of the procs that you slotted the power with (they don't match, whatever, it's a code-based thing that they don't carry over).

Some pets, like for Masterminds, do have associative and slottable abilities such as the Knockback Damage Proc for Robotics, their abilities register this proc and can actively "slot" it into their attacks and it will trigger based on their abilities that have KB effects.

There aren't really that many abilities in the game where the procs don't carry over, unfortunately the bulk of them happen to be with Traps/Devices. Trip Mine, Seeker Drones, Time Bomb (Omega), but you did miss out on one Trap in the set that does use procs incredibly well which is Poison Trap. Poison Trap can take on all of the Hold damage procs and fire them off at tirgger and it is super nice.

Testing some tweaks at low levels. Here's Cherie on a Tarikoss SF (Lvl 20 cap, so lvl 25 powers). Most everything she has is attuned.
