Well, I vote they fix the detailed info before "fixing" any more powers. How are we supposed to make decisions on slotting if the only easily obtainable information is lying to us?

I understand that it was *set* enhancements containing recharge. That was my point with LS. You would have to go out of your way to frankenslot ranged dmg, kb, and end mod IO's to NOT get recharge. Once you put a double or triple with recharge in, and see the lightning recharge go down, who wouldn't try for more? The numbers don't turn red if you are "exploiting a loophole". It appears to the casual user that it is the intended effect.

I can't imagine they view these pets as overpowered. So, it seems to me more like a punishment for cheating. Even though they never told us not to do it. They surely couldn't have been trying to fix power cycling on lightning storm. It seems to only have 1. And, if they accidentally skipped the defender version, well, they could accidentally skip whatever they want then, apparently.

I'm sure I'll get over it, but, it was really cool with 2 storms goin, just blasting stuff. And, I have 2 or 3 other mm's that need some serious rethinking.

Well, this topic cleared things up for me. The patch notes made no sense to me, "external sources" didn't mean enhancements in my head.
I don't understand the point of view of the people that say all this was a loophole waiting to be closed. They put in the "show detailed info here" so we could all see what was happening. Put recharge in, time for recharge goes down.

Right now, on live, on my /storm mm. The detailed info says for lightning: Recharge time 2.05s (4.00s). It is clearly NOT firing every 2 seconds.

LS takes kb, end mod, and ranged dmg, how could we be expected to use those sets, and NOT get recharge?

I'm not even sure how to proceed right now, I have over the last few months bought a lot of -recharge IO's for my pets.

This was a huge change with an oddly worded tiny blurb in the patch notes. Took me 15 minutes to find this thread, was wonderin what was goin on with my LS.
