Burk Posted July 2 Posted July 2 In the TPN Campus trial, we usually confuse the Telepathists to get the badges. This last week, we discovered that they were affected by the same bug that was giving giant monsters and archvillains a lot of confuse resistance, making it much harder to keep them confused. However, we also discovered that Symphony Control was having a much harder time with their Impassioned Serenade, despite the base duration being the same as other single target confuses. I took a look at City of Data: https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=dominator_control.symphony_control.impassioned_serenade&at=dominator. Impassioned Serenade is different than most single target confuses since it works through an "Execute Power" effect. When I looked at similar powers, such as Transfusion from Kinetics, I noticed that those have the tag "Boosts are copied to entity". However Impassioned Serenade lacks that tag on its redirect. If I'm correct, it has been ignoring any enhancement to confuse duration and we just didn't notice before because the base duration of 44 seconds is usually enough, but now we're noticing because of the confuse resistance.

Mains: Trickery Girl (Ill/Rad Controller), Burk (Sword/Shield Stalker), and 8 other complete badge characters.
sh1zuchan Posted July 2 Posted July 2 (edited) I had Impassioned Serenade slotted out with all of the Coercive Persuasion set except the proc and all of them were boosted to +5. I also had Domination active. The confuse was wearing off after a few seconds. Similar powers like Possess and Deceive with similar slotting seem to be sticking just fine. Edited July 2 by sh1zuchan
