Ukase Posted July 16, 2024 Posted July 16, 2024 While tinkering around in mids, I notice that Consume accepts Heal enhancements. I've played ...maybe a dozen fire tanks since retail, and I never noticed consume would accept heal IOs, nor did I notice that it would boost HP, albeit only for 2 minutes. Still, it's super easy to get this recharge below 2 minutes. I know the answer is really, "It depends", but I'm wondering how many use consume more for an HP boost (not to be confused with a heal) than for more endurance.
PLVRIZR Posted July 16, 2024 Posted July 16, 2024 Depends. 😆 I think it was i27p5 that it was updated (someone else fact check me, please). Since then, I still primarily use Consume for the endurance drain resistance, but I do hit it routinely (for the HP cap increase), certainly not for endurance recovery, specifically. Don't seem to need it. My favorite Fire tank (Fire/Fire/Pyre) has it slotted with a full set of Synapse's Shock, for the recharge and EN resistance bonuses. The movement bonuses, esp. speedrunning is nice, too.

Spaghetti Betty Posted July 16, 2024 Posted July 16, 2024 (edited) The +MaxHP from Consume is activated even without a target and lasts a very long time. The intention is for it to be a net gain to survivability without interrupting normal use of the power. It's actually a pretty substantial buff! Absolutely worth picking and slotting for, even if you don't need the extra endurance. Edited July 16, 2024 by Spaghetti Betty 1 Mainly on Excelsior. Find me in game @Spaghetti Betty.

SeraphimKensai Posted July 17, 2024 Posted July 17, 2024 I can attest to the +HP being great. I discovered that as well a few months back when I rolled my fire/fire tank. It came in handy along with the end resistance on a +4 Freakshow Respec that we did for a TT a whole le back on Everlasting.
Uun Posted July 17, 2024 Posted July 17, 2024 I slot Consume with Numina heal & heal/rech and Synapse's Shock endmod, endmod/rech & dmg/rech. That gives me 69% heal and endmod and 78% recharge (more than I need to have it perma), plus 10% slow resist, 12% regen and 7.5% movement speed. Uuniverse
