Look, when someone doesnt want you on a team because you dont fit their ideal.. I usually count myself lucky as not being on that team.. I have found 90% of the time that I just missed out on being on TEAM STUPID that doesnt work together a a team, dies a lot and is looking for buffs to overcome their stupidity.. As I always say.. you cant heal stupid...

I got on a team once that said they were looking for a defender.. So I joined with my Rad/Rad.. I get YAY DEFENDER.. ok no more dying ( that was a bad sign right there)

they were fighting some +3's so Im laying down the debuffs on the mobs and attacking..and we are starting to plow through them... but we are taking some damage ( although no had died since i joined the team )and the team leader screams at me..

STOP ATTACKING JUST HEAL... I said well I have a lot of debuffs and... again the team STOP ATTACKING JUST HEAL...

So I stopped attacking... and just threw out my very small AoE Heal...

and the team died... everyone said wait what happened.. we were doing good..

I said.. Oh well that was my fault..

See I had Radiation Infection which is a 50% defense debuff and a 48% to hit debuff.. but I shut that off so I could just heal like the leader said.

Then I had Enervating Field running which brought their reistance down 30% and brought their damage down 25% but I shut that off so I could heal..

Oh yeah and then I was using Lingering Radiation cut their regen 500% and theire recharge rate 25% but i stopped doing that so I could heal...

And I stopped using Irradiate which is another 50% defense debuff in an area and Neutron Bomb which is another 25% defense debuff in an area bcause I was told STOP ATTACKING JUST HEAL...

OH and I stopped dropping Accelerate Metabolism which was buffing your damage 30% and yor recharge 25% well because its not a heal and I was told JUST HEAL...

So wait classic here.. someone asks for the star so they can invite a friend.. and the leader was kicked LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Attack with Pyronic first, all the dummies got the effect from interface.

Move in with world of confusion after that and only one dummy gets the -to hit.

Fire Rain of Arrows on all the dummies still only one dummy gets the effect.

Ionic Judgment, If I target the dummy that has the effect from world of confusion, only that dummy gets the effect from Ionic Judgement. Targeting a different dummy only that dummy gets it.

And that is about it for me, I'll leave the rest to people that can test in less than 90 seconds per test and can look under the hood while its happening.

I'm still not convinced it won't get looked at again eventually, but apparently for now we can expect it to work as it does currently at least for some time to come.

edit: also, people over-exaggerate the usefulness of proc'ing carrion creepers. double proc'd roots is better.

My fortunata is...amazing, I wouldn't trade it for anything, I'll all ranged psi attacks, never had an issue.

the good thing also, AVs never resist Psionic damage.

and the enemies that do resist it, I don't notice.

yes, you have to be heavily IO'd out to be like...a god, but the build I found has cheaper alternatives to the heavier sets.

I'm rambling DD

anyways, with patron powers you can easily get over the fact that some enemies resist psi, and the new incarnate abilities aren't too bad either.
