Ridiculous Girl Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 (edited) hello! i was running on my lvl 29 ninja/TA mm, princess dragon, when i noticed that the Mastermind Trick Arrow Oil slick arrow, takes defense debuffs encs. but under the power infomation, it gives no info on the -def. when i put in a lvl 30 SO def debuff, it showed only that the -def power was augmented 38% (or something like that). on City of Data, it list one of the effects for oil slick arrow (MM TA) as base -25% def. so i tested it out on some poor helpless lvl 1 hellions with a power analyzer. they went from 0% def to -100% def, (not ignited) which was odd, but ok. so i went to brickstown and found some freaks more my level, it dropped them to something like -34% def, which i kind of expected. what is going on here? why is the -def %s not listed in the power information? why would it scale like that for lower levels? is this a bug? just curious! 🙂 Edited September 12 by Ridiculous Girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminara Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 3 hours ago, Ridiculous Girl said: why is the -def %s not listed in the power information? Because of the way the power is designed. Using Oil Slick Arrow creates two pseudo-pets, Oil Slick Oil and Oil Slick Target, and defeating Oil Slick Target with any energy or fire damage causes a third pseudo-pet to spawn, Oil Slick Burn. The info panel doesn't respond well to the complexity. 3 hours ago, Ridiculous Girl said: why would it scale like that for lower levels? https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Purple_Patch Get busy living... or get busy dying.

Captain Fabulous Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Debuffs scale based upon critter level -- they're more effective on critters below your level and less effective on those above your level. I'm 99% sure -DEF is listed in the power description, -25%. A +1 SO would put that around 34% against critters your level, so that looks right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous Girl Posted September 12 Author Share Posted September 12 oops the detailed info only report -run speed and fire damage, even on the character creation. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mids and CoD will give you that info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
