Spirit Tree still being repelled by exploding objects

Plant Control > Spirit Tree

• Fixed a bug where this power could be repelled moving it away from its visual fx.

 

i was running Dr Graves 2nd arc, first mission "Survive Zephyr's Insidous Plan", on my plant/thorn dom, when one of the objective altars exploded, sending the spirit tree that i had planted near it flying. or more precisely, the explosion sent the pseudo-pet flying, while leaving the plant GRFX in place. the pseudo-pet was only stopped in close proximity because of the limits of the cave walls. no telling how far it would have displaced in open space. apparently exploding objects with a repel are +15 mag. i'll quote @Burk below...

All object explosions that repel are 15 mag and ignore resistance. In theory, that shouldn't repel the spirit tree since it looks like it should have mag 100 protection to repel: https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=villain_pets.spirit_tree.resistance&at=minion_pets. However, what stands out to me is that the effect has a 10.3s duration and the activate period is 70s. Unless I'm wrong, that means that the spirit tree is completely unprotected for about 60 seconds out of every 70 seconds.

 

I guess the duration of the tree is now only 60 seconds (haven't actually played my plant controller since the page)? So the tree is protected from most effects, like teleport, repel, knockback, hold, etc, only for the first 10 seconds. The only part that lasts the whole 60 seconds is the damage resistance and hp. This seems to match with testing in game where I watched the combat attributes for the spirit tree and all the status effect and debuff resistances dropped off pretty early, leaving only the damage resistance. Half of the mez protection stuck around. Apparently, the tree also gets mez protection from a different power: https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=villain_pets.spirit_tree.spirit_tree_taunt&at=minion_pets, so that's not a problem.
