Question on Focus (Claws)

Hello, everyone.

I recently re-subscribed and started playing a Claws/Willpower scrapper.

I happened to come upon a recipe for Decimation: Chance for Buildup. This is only slottable in ranged attacks, so I tossed it into focus to try it out. I've played for a good 3 hours or so with it, and it has never procced. The enhancement is roughly level 25-28 if I remember correctly.

Does anyone have any idea why this hasn't been proccing (not even once)?

Thanks!

Not sure the animation on it when it procs, but how have you been checking to see if it procs?

The best way I'd check is to monitor your attributes using the /toggle combatnumbers command.

Decimation: Chance for Buildup

[ QUOTE ]
This enhancement gives a 5% chance to grant Boost Up to the caster for 10 seconds. Boost Up is a passive power with effects identical to Build Up for 5.25 seconds, then no effect for 4.75 seconds.

So every time you use Focus it only as a 5% chance of going off.

There's no animation for when it goes off. I don't think that there's even a buff icon for it anymore.

The only way I notice it firing off is when I'm watching my global damage buff in the combat monitor.

The other way to note when it fires is to add the text for (it's either healing delivered or healing received, I can't remember) to one of your chat boxes as it pops up there as well.

However, the proc DOES function. Sadly, due to the apparently not so hot random number generator this game uses, you might find that it's pretty streaky.

I use both the decimation: cfbu in focus and the gaussian: cfbu in followup.

Sometimes, they'll fire off one after the other and I'll have a lovely 200% extra damage slapped on for a few attacks. Sometimes it seems like forever between procs.

In the end, though, they do function and do so on average of 5% of the time.


Be well, people of CoH.

Thanks for the replies. I didn't realize there was no buff effect for it...that seems a bit odd to me!

I appreciate the help.
