It uses a pseudo-pet to do the damage, and I've no idea whether or not it uses the same one across the ATs? Certainly on my Ice/Thorns domi it does more damage than Fling Thorns or Thornburst and gets me into melee range.

I think it's fine personally, and if the damage is the same across the board it's really attractive to some Brutes, Tanks and other low base damage ATs (I'm planning to make a Fire/Time/Stone controller with it at some point maybe)

Great, thanks for all the info folks.

Still wondering if procs can interact with Disintegrate spread, if the Spreads damage is enhanced by the power triggering it, if its affect by Ranged Damage ios specifically .

I'm really enjoying my Traps/Beam Defender. So much so that last night I switched to my main to buy a raft of Procs for her (a few Devestations, a pair of Achilles Heels, a Lockdown, some Damage procs for Trops and a Steadfast).

I've a few questions though :

In Traps :
Is it worth proccing Seeker Drones? I'm thinking of one of the Devestation : Chance for Holds as it'd mean 2 15 foot patches where the chance can occur, when the Seekers explode. Not sure on Damage Procs due to their recharge
Same question for Poison Trap, again I'm aiming to have a Lockdown in there, but are any of the other Chance for Damage Procs worthwhile any more? I assume here each proc has a chance to affect everyone in the PG every 10 seconds
Obviously I'm proccing out Acid Mortar with an Achilles, a Devestation and a Shield Breaker or something. What other procs do people use in Traps other than the ones I've mentioned.


In Beam Rifle :
Is it worth trying to Buzzsaw out the Tier one blast? It's fairly quick to animate. I'll be putting a Dev in there anyway.
I'm putting an Achilles into Cutting Beam as well, is there any other powers in Beam which can take sneaky procs which are worthwhile?
Is the chance for Disintegration Spread standard across all single target powers?
With Disintegration Spread what actually happens here? It seems to spawn a PBAOE around the enemy which affects those close by with DoT and their own Disintegration effect. Is that DoT affected by damage enhancements from the power that caused it? If so can PROCs also "spread" from the causing power (ie if I hit an enemy with my Tier 1 which has the Devestation will those whom the Spread effects also have a chance to be held?)

Where's the best place for a Steadfast? Is my only option my APP/PPP shield?

He's got an 11 year old son. Reason enough methinks (although in 3 or 4 years that same son is going to be deeply embarrassed and Hugh is probably going to be starring in a lot more Matrix knock-offs)

It depends what you mean by "best". Best damage melee primary is Fire. Elec and Ice have better melee ranged controls via their auras. My Fire/Rad/Stone was a melee beast.


In my continued efforts to find a Time I enjoy I'm going to try out a Fire/Time/Stone later with the Leaping Pool attacks (since I suspect Spring attack uses the same pseudopet across the board to do the damage).

Oh, remember it uses a pseudopet, like the other TP attack powers, which means Forced Feedback chance for +Recharge is useless in it.


I believe it also means the damage is the same across all ATs, which is interesting. I'm getting tempted by a Fire/Time/Stone controller-who-thinks-he's-a-domi with Jump Kick and Spring Attack. If that is true (that the damage is the same across the board) it makes it very tempting indeed for Brutes. They might have created multiple versions though to allow for this.
