wait, wait, wait.

You can use a Howling Twlight on an Oil slick?

What would you call that? AOE Rise of the Phoneix? Howling slick Twilight? Oily Twilight?

Gotta say you should get a special badge called "Outside the box" for coming up with that combo...

Well, several years ago, I realized you could get Kin effects off the force-field generators in the Hydra Trial... I don't see why the oil slick (as a targetable "enemy") would be any different.

Currently: 50s (5), 40s (3), 30s (5)
Red and blue side, mostly Infinity, Virtue, and Freedom.

So do kin powers like siphon speed/siphon power work on the slick? Howling does seem to be most useful, but having a immobile put it anywhere enemy for any sort of foe required buff/utility power is pretty nice.

Yes. In fact, prior to Yellow dives, I requested oil slick on my kin to provide a +100% base damage boost (FS ranged buff+FS PBAOE buff+Siph power) to yellow team.

Yes, those work as well.

During the pre-assault buffing, I put down a Slick for a Kin nearby to spam Siphon Power and Fulcrum Shift on. Added in just a little more buffing to the herds of heroes.

that's a trick I've been doing for a while with my kinetic.
have the TA place an oil slick next to the blasters so they never have to enter close range combat if they don't want to.

for the group rez though......that is an amazing leap. heheh

My kinetic controller and corruptor often target destructible objects (such as the demon portals and vault doors) with Transference and Transfusion. Those objects transfer End and hit points to nearby characters, so it makes sense that the oil slick should too. I assume Howling Twilight targeting a vault door will resurrect fallen characters, but I've never tried it.

I don't think this is a legitimate target of a nerf. It's more of a "natural law" of the CoH universe than an exploit -- if you can transfer hit points and endurance from robots, you should be able to do the same from vault doors and demon portals. And oil slicks.

I've rarely teamed with Trick Arrow defenders, so I'm not sure how long the oil slick lasts when burning. You can make a reasonable argument that igniting (or otherwise attacking it) should have the same effect as attacking objects. If you set it afire it should lose hit points and the duration should be reduced. I don't know if it works that way, but that would be reasonable. In order to not penalize the damage the burning slick does, the damage inflicted should be at least partially a DoT on on NPCs standing in the slick when it's ignited, and not just DoT while they're in it (oil is very sticky).

So any attack on the slick (and it looks like Howling Twilight does damage) should reduce the duration. Powers such as Transference and Transfusion seem to drain or debuff and do no damage, so they should have no effect on the slick's duration except to reduce its endurance. The logical effect that should have is to prevent you from using those powers on the slick if it has no End to drain.

And it was a brilliant idea to take the physical laws of the game universe to their logical conclusion.

THAT's what you were doing?! Sheesh I thought someone was just messing around with the pretty effects or something. I was so busy prepping I couldn't figure it out and make the connection.

Sheesh, we may use that tomorrow night, if the right players are present.

With the idea of Kins and Darks being able to use it, I think TA's might actually become necessary for Raids. After all, it'd be priceless to have a TA set up Oil Slick behind the rock in order to have everyone crowd around it, have Kins hit FS+SP, hit the damage cap, and then use it as a safetypoint in case of mass death.

Well that just made my day.

Uh.... I've been using targetable objects for Kin effects for quite awhile.

It works.

You can target Twilight Grasp and Transfusion/Transference and other such things off citizens and cardboard boxes and etc as well.
