Robotics and Explosive Strike

I've got a nice trio of Explosive Strike (Chance for Smashing Damage) on each of my robots, but I have yet to see any evidence that it's doing anything. Does this work on Mastermind Pets, and does it apply to each of their attacks, or its it just checking for the proc (without effect) when I summon?

Very curious, because I'd love to know that these guys were working.

The proc should attempt to occur when applicable, as to say it will only occur when the power your robot uses has KB. When your robots go to town on mobs, the laser fire and explosions probably cause those proc numbers get lost in the sea of orange. Mercs have the same issue.

Awesome, that's exactly what I needed to know! So it will attempt to proc each time the bots use an attack WITH knockback, as opposed to each time a pet actually knocks back the target?

For reference, the Battle Drones and Protector Bots only have one (single target) attack that it can proc off - the Heavy Laser Burst (the one that sort of looks like a snipe).

Assault Bot sees much better mileage from it, proccing on both plasma blasts and his swarm missiles (not the burn version though).

But yeah, the attack just has to have the capability for knockback for the proc chance to occur; it doesn't matter whether the knockback itself actually happens.

Nice Av LtZerge. I now want undead gorillas as a primary.
