   Keep in mind that powers like Glittering Column basically have 2 powers within them, and allowing the set to slot Accurate Tohit Debuff sets may make one power enhanceable but the other not receive any benefit: worst-case example being that you slot Cloud Senses and it makes the Glitter Explosion debuff go up but fails to affect the Glitter Aura debuff at all.  Set/Slotting related bugs like this are very common on HC, any time the devs change what kind of sets a power takes.  This is still an issue on Fault even where it's supposedly WAI, where slotting TAoE sets does nothing to even buff the accuracy of the Stun/KD component of the power: which has lower than 1.0x base acc.  That second power doesn't accept those sets, so your enhancement does nothing.  You have to use more universal enhancements like Hamis to get around the issue.

 

   So yeah, if we allow Accurate Tohit Debuff sets in GC, please make sure they affect both debuffs: thank you.

Yeah wow that is kind of messed up.  I won't be the only one that notices this and gets confused, fair warning.

I can't be sure acc+debuff slotting would work for Glittering Column's autohit debuff aura, but it works for Dark Servant's autohit debuff aura (Chill of the Night), so I'm hopeful.

   It comes down to the devs remembering to change ALL of the component powers' allowable enhancement sets.  I only brought it up as a reminder, I'd like to slot Cloud Senses into the power too.  I just also want it to actually work when I slot it.

But do they also work on the other part of the power?

Yes both parts, Glittering Column Aura and Glitter Explosion, go from 30% to 34%/36%.

It's not in today's patch notes, but Catherine Wheel's Rocket Twirl was reduced to 0 range.

 

Catherine Wheel at long range no longer tries to use Rocket Twirl first, then its ranged attacks. It instead fires its ranged attacks first, then closes to melee before using Rocket Twirl.

No more Execute_Power bug on Brilliant Barrage, as far as I can tell. Hypnotizing Lights (Close) and Brilliant Barrage (fear missile) go off every time. It's possible I mistimed it, but I'd guess these two powers aren't affected by the bug.

 

I don't know if Catherine Wheel's Intercept Proc also uses Execute_Power, but I didn't see any bug, just the occasional missed tohit roll which is normal.

"Long time listener, first time caller." 

CoX player from 2004 to shutdown and Homecoming, but I've never been a forum poster.  I appreciate all those who give back to the community in so many different ways.  Given the small population of testers I decided it was time for me to contribute in a small way by giving test feedback.

   While Jubilee is still the absolute lamest of the X-Men, her powerset is in a workable state now.  Having played around ToHit debuffs for most of my CoH career, I can easily envision a scenario where my Controllers or Doms can safely solo purely off the back of Glittering Column, Hypnotizing Lights (proc-bombed as an attack but used for the Sleep, same as Symph Control), and chilling with Incendiary Aura.  It's unfortunate that the set doesn't have a traditional reliable 16 target AoE Stun, but that won't actually impede my ability to survive.  As long as you understand that you're leveraging debuffs as much as mezzes, it works.

Just a quick question since I am away from computer. If you proc up the aoe sleep with damage/confuse procs do you only get a proc chance on the 6 enemies that get targeted with the confuse?

This is how I feel about the set now it's stable for what it wants to do and when mids get updated for Pyro I'm for sure gonna post my main testing build which was a Pyro/Therm troller

I didn't test every proc, but the ones that I did can proc outside 20'
