Energy Absorption auto-hit?

It apparently doesn't take accuracy enhancements, so is Energy Absorption from the Ice Armor tanker set an auto-hit power?

Side-note: In game it still has a base accuracy value of 1.00, which is a bit on the low side if it's not an auto-hit power.

Energy Absorption is auto-hit. No need for accuracy.

It's 1% for the first and 0.6% for each additional critter hit. It's the +15 end gained per critter hit that makes this an attractive power. It is meant to be used in crowds.

Not sure if it's auto-hit or not but I don't remember missing all that much if I did.

Just ran a few missions using it and I haven't missed once. My other attacks were missing like usual, even when enhanced to 1.38 accuracy against the same foes. Then again, the power is PBAoE and I waited to use it in the largest crowds, so it may have only affected say 2 or 3 out of 10 targets...

Exactly. I've used it on AV/EBs since those are extended fights, at least if you're a tank. Don't remember missing in those one on one cases.

[/ QUOTE ]Even autohit attacks have an accuracy value. And 1.0 accuracy is standard; essentially 1.0 * (YourTohit - TargetDefense), though that's extremely simplified. To be on the low side, it would have to be something like 0.9.

And the BAse Accuracy on auto-hit powers is irrelevant. They could be set to 0, and the powers will still auto-hot

Mmm...auto-hot powers.
