Self stacking interfacr Debuff
I have also noticed similar findings on my Fire/Kin Corr.
The Dot ticks from a fire attack all seem to have a chance to proc the interface slot.
And powers with multiple damage components also seems to be able to proc them on both portions of the attack. I have also seen Flares proc Reactive twice.
Lastly, 'pulsing attack powers' such as damage auras, Rain of fire, Caltrops, etc, seem to roll the proc chance per tick, as opposed to once per 10 seconds.
Edit: Wow can't believe I mispelled the title -Really am to tired.
Self stacking the Interface Reactive -Res Debuff
I want to make sure I have this right.
re: Interface Reactive - That 25% chance for a -2.5% resistance debuff can stack up to 4 times from any source, including the same soure. With all the DoT I have going at full bore I think I will have enough triggers to be at the -10% limit pretty often, enough to be significant anyway. Will report here when I figure out how to monitor the debuffs on my target, lol. I think I will definitly shoot for the Tier 4 Interface Reactive, 25% chance debuff Res, 75% chance mod Damage, after seeing the analaysis below.
DoT on Rock includes:
Mud Pots (constant)
Incinerate (10 tics)
Scorch (Burst + 3 tics)
Combustion (Burst + 8 tics)
Fire Blast (Burst + 4 tics)
Fireball (2 x Burst + 3 tics)
Greater Fire Sword (2 x Burst + 5 tics)
Fire Sword Circle (2 x Burst + 4 tics)
And Pyronic Partial Core (Burst + 6 x 80 % chance tics)
Now it seems from the combat log that EVERY TIC as well as the Burst damage can trigger the Reactive!
I never really thought about it, but ALL my powers have a DoT component. Powers marked 2 x Burst have 2 types of Damage in the initial Burst. That seems to give them two chances to trigger the Interface Reactive as well.
So:
Can I self stack to the 4 x limit (assuming that 4 x is correct?)
Do the powers with 2 types of initial damage really have a chance for two Reactive triggers? Looking at the combat log yesterday it seemed that this happened a few times. That was with a 25% 25% reactive Tier two.
If self stacking really works as my reading seems to indicate; Will I have enough tics to get meaningfull -res debuff when solo, or when grouped but as the only reactive user?
I really wanted to test this all tonight but just too tired.
