Kinetics powers and Sleeps

[wRECk69]

Do the powers in Kinetics (siphon speed, FS, transfusion, etc.) cause sleeping mobs to awaken?  They don't do damage, but they are "attacks."  Thanks!

Yes. If you look at any of the powers on CoD, "Notify Mobs" (lower left corner) is set to "Always".

Thanks, Uun!  I have never noticed that field in CoD before!  That helps me tremendously!

no, it will not wake a sleeping mob.

 

it will, however, cause them to aggro (even though they are still asleep)

 

that's what @Uun is referring to

Thanks, Psyonico!  That answers my question.  I was considering a secondary to pair with Mind Control, and was thinking about a set where I could sleep a mob and then SP/SS/FS myself (or a team) before blasting away.  And that helps me to understand that field in CoD!

It works quite well solo. You can even fire off terrify+fireball (or maybe it was the reverse order) and they will both get containment before waking the spawn because of the delay in damage delivery. Proc'd out terrify + fireball at damage cap will do some serious damage to the spawn.
