Been awhile…does Hybrid Support only work on henchmen if triggered while already cast?

[Crysis]

Once upon a time there was a bug/feature where Hybrid Support would only affect henchmen if you summoned them AFTER you activated Hybrid Support.  Still works this way or did they adjust it so it works ‘retroactively’ on henchmen already summoned?

 

I’m asking because in-game I’m seeing some weird results and wanted to validate how its -supposed- to work before reporting what I’m seeing as a bug?

I think Hybrid Support always worked correctly, as in pets do not need to be summoned after Support activation. Only Hybrid Assault is bugged that way.

Hybrid Support is an AoE that pulses every 10s and affects all allies. Your henchman should be effected regardless of when they're summoned.

 

Hybrid Assault is ST and affects self only.

By “pulses ever 10s” does that mean that the henchmen need to be in the pulse’ AoE to get the buff, and it drops immediately if they are not, only restoring it once they are a) in range of the AoE and b) it’s “pulsed” again?  If so, that would explain what I’m seeing.

Hybrid Assault is finicky and can work for pets. Assault needs to be activate while pets are summoned, then pets will get the buff/proc damage. It resets when entering/exiting a mission so it's not ideal. It will only work 100% of the time if Hybrid is activated and pets are summoned at the start of every mission. It will continue to work with each Assault activation while in the same mission, and the pets do not die. Hybrid Assault Radial proc is indicated with the word Doublehit in the Combat Log.

 

 

I did a quick pylon run with Hybrid Assault Radial. Defeated the pylon in 79secs, Doublehit triggered 130 times in that time frame. That's probably around 1.7 dh/sec. Doublehit damage ranged between 33-210 per hit. Log attached if anyone wants to see it.

Correct, although the radius is pretty big (50 ft for most and 80 ft for T4 Radial).

Can the little 3% def  or say the acc 6% from dice enh go to your pets or is that you only? Think it's the latter but what to ask.

Not sure what you're referring to. If you're asking about Hybrid Support, the buffs go to both you and your pets. If you take Core, values are doubled for pets.

Those are you only. They don’t buff your pets.
