Simply adding a chance-of-knockdown proc to a generic pbaoe with no inherent KB is insignificant, and can already be achieved with certain powers.
TAoE (Ragnarok) and single target melee (Kinetic Combat); yes. PBAoE, I'm not so sure about?

Are there any other powers that have a 100% chance for KB? Are any of them spammable?
AoEs: Umbral Torrent, Torrent, Tornado, Lightning Storm, Jolting Chain, Earthquake, Ice Slick, Wormhole, Gale, Gravitic Emanation, Lightning Clap, etc.
Those that don't have overlap can usually have their downtime reduced significantly enough to be spammable or have added effects to go along with the KB/KD... -

Mud Pots has a mag 2 immob in it.
+10000% Res(Knockback, Knockup) for 12s
-100 Knockback, Knockup for 12s
I don't believe it should be negatively impacting your chance to KB. -
Quote:I just got one from a level 42 toon and the info says that the min level is 39. I wanted to see if that would change if I transferred it to a lower level toon (21) and it did not. It still has the same min of 39 and it isn't allowing me to slot the enhancement in question.Originally Posted by Agent White
I would suspect it's a bug because the attuned mechanic is supposed to mean that you can equip it at it's minimum level (which seems to be 15, given that's the earliest anyone can do the event) and as you level up it scales with you, so if you equip it at 23 it has the stats of a 23 IO, til you hit 24 and it goes to 24.
I mean the idea is that they're not -supposed- to have any kind of fixed level and work for you whatever level you're at. -
So, is the Overwhelming Force Set being Attuned WAI or a bug? If it is WAI, then I can see why we can't post it in the Market.
(Which isn't bothering me as much as the set being level locked to that of the character who earned the reward) -

I removed it from mud pots as the immob makes KD impossible.
I didn't think that Mud Pots had a -KB effect to it? -

It is a toggle now only to force a bit of downtime when it dies. And as part of the pets out limitation, I believe.
Just checked it and you're right, no End cost. -

I pick them by what the specific character needs, though this does usually mean the +DEF +Recovery (blue) pet. But in most cases, I'm picking that one for the +Recovery more than the +DEF. I've got some melee characters who are already pretty tough, but just burn through Endurance. Particularly my Dual Blades characters and my Dark Melee/Dark Armor brute.
My main is a fire/fire blaster, and she uses a +DMG +RES (red) pet. One thing I've found with Fire Blast is that Endurance is never a problem unless there's a Malta Sapper around. -
Thanks for the input everyone.

My Dark/Fire Blaster is definitely going to slot it:
Converted Umbral + Tentacles (w/Ragnarok and Grav Anchor proc) -
Oil Slick Arrow? Yay me!
-
Decent enough to cast them in the middle of a mob as Alpha strike sponges.

No change really once we move over.
IIRC, one chance on drop, and one chance every 10 seconds thereafter.
All the PPM change will do is change the chance - instead of a static number, it will be based off recharge (and modified slightly if an AoE)
So where do you think I would get the most bang for my buck (over time; Soulbound Allegiance proc)? Tornado, a moderate damage pet (like Fly Trap) or low damage multi-pets (like Fire Imps)?
================
[Tornado - Checks when cast and every 10 seconds thereafter (for each summon?) = 4 checks.
Imps - Checks on each attack from each Imp (every 5 seconds per Imp)
Fly Trap - Checks on each attack:
Thorny Darts (every 4.5 seconds)
Fling Thorns (checks per target every 13.5 seconds)
Bite (every 5.5 seconds)
Seems like the edge would go to the Fly Trap for number of checks and net benefit (unless I'm missing something?)] -
How would a proc work (currently) in a power like Tornado (Achille's Heel, Soulbound Allegiance, etc)? Once the procs switch to PPM?
-
Another way to approach this would be to separate (if possible) the damage activation cycle from the KB activation cycle; slightly increasing the latter (to 3-4 seconds).
Or just increasing the overall activation cycle; modifying the new tick damage to maintain the same overall damage (3-4 seconds). -

Power Boost (or really, any +Special power) hasn't affected Knockback distance for a couple years now. Thanks.

Quote:I meant that an unslotted Bonfire would have 75% chance to KB; slotted with the proc, it would convert that KB to KD and the remaining 25% would be up to the proc's RNG (which would also be KD)? -unless there's something I'm missing?Originally Posted by Tater Todd
I can deal with 75% to proc but what's the point of taking Bonfire if it only has a chance to proc for KD 75% of the time? That means that you have a 25% chance for it to KB mag 6.23...that's way risky and that just makes it worth skipping again.
[/QUOTE] -
Finally got a second proc and slotted it into my Fire/Earth Dom; Bonfire may need to go from 100% KB down to 75% or so.
While the damage isn't major; the perma KD is. Slow death is me casting and stacking Bonfire while standing in the middle with Hot Feet. They just keep flopping and flopping and flopping and...
There are enemies that can ignore the KB (like Pantheon masks); and attacks do manage to go off from time to time (mez can still get you).
30 more days to get a stockpile: 3 /Storms, 1 Kheld, and 1 KMelee/ still need to get outfitted for conversion.
Question is... what AoE sets (any AT) are lacking on mitigation enough to use a 20% KD proc? -

And everyone else speaking perfect (non-dubbed) American English does? -
PSW = ? (Psychic Shockwave?)
And how would Power Boost figure into the equation (if used prior to casting a modified KB>KD power)? -
lol, had to reread the question:

So, the issue is actually (according the OP's wording) if Nick Fury performed an illegal action by violating a direct order from his superiors to nuke NY.
It depends on how the bodies involved would deal with a violation of international decree (extradition and so forth).
And again, what constitutes due process in a situation like this (from both a US and/or UN perspective). -

Its not a Tarentino movie; RZA actually co-wrote, directed and acted in this flick. It's kind of like when the Wu-Tang Clan started 'presenting' a slew of old school kick flicks. -
One would have to define due process as it applies to the situation.
As far as finding alternatives:
1. Fury already stated that the threats they were facing already outclassed their ability to handle those situations by conventional means.
2. He even went as far as to defy his superiors to see the Avengers Initiative through.
3. If I'm not mistaken; conventional means (outside of the local police) were already in play; ie. the Avengers themselves (with cooperation from the NYPD) -
An EAT might get you pretty close. (Kheld (teamed), Crab... possibly even a Bane)
