I hope that really is fixed this time 
Hasn't this been the case for a while or is it a fixed - broken - fixed type thing?

Well, I almost screamed with joy when I logged in to live server - I hit power boost, then hit transfusion - a lovely 786 heal. Yippee! Then... tried it again - only 432 heal - boooo!
It's still broken on live - let's hope that it wasn't a fluke on the test (albeit if it WAS a fluke, then it was a fluke several times on the trot, which is highly unlikely).
Philosopher: to answer your question, it's been broken for a LONG time now (on kinetics only, as far as I'm aware - I know that it works fine for empaths - not sure about any other power set).
It's been broken/fixed for ages. It worked for a bit last year, and broke again in I8 I believe, then worked again briefly in a patch after I8, sometime after Christmas, but has been broken again for a while - that's ignoring the times it was broken and then fixed before that.
I wish whoever is playing around with the switch would damn well stop it. There are definitely occasions where that eight hundred and something (it's been so long I've forgotten the exact number, 819 I think) heal is really damn useful. 
Although to be fair I usually combine PBU with other powers (Cosmic Burst, Total Focus, Atomic Blast Transferrance), it'd be nice to have the option to use it with Transfusion when I want to.

[/ QUOTE ]The problem with kin is that it's not YOU using the heal, it's the entity summoned by transfusion. Which is why the heal only works if PBU transfers to the summoned entity.
But then that would imply that PBU would only SOMETIMES work - there's nothing to say that the power 'only works some of the time' or needs accuracy enhancements to ensure that it is transferred to the mob that you're bouncing heals from. No, the description of PBU states that it "greatly boosts the secondary effects of your powers like heals, defense buffs endurance drains" etc etc. Nowhere does it state that it requires accuracy in order for this to happen.
It'd be interesting if anyone with a dark defender has PBU and if they can confirm if they have the same problem that a kin defender faces when they use twilight grasp.

Nope, it works fine on my dark defender.

So must just be the kin powerset it's broken on - meaning that it has no bearing on as to whether the heal comes from yourself (e.g. empathy, radiation) or if it emanates from a bad guy (e.g. kinetics, dark).
So maybe it WASN'T a fluke what I experienced when testing out I9 last night - gives reassurance that kin and PBU may be finally sorted out

The dark heal emanates from yourself, it just needs to hit an enemy to work so I don't think you can compare. Twilight Grasp+PBU has not suffered with the same problems as Transfusion.
If I get time this weekend I will copy my kinetics defender onto test to see if it indeed has been fixed.

Hmm, if this works reliably I might need to spec it onto my Kin/Rad. PBU, FS, irradiate transfusion. I assume it's a 5 second click like build up itself?

According to Sherksilver's Hero Builder, it lasts 30 seconds. Not sure how accurate that is though.
It's 12.5 secs according to CoD.
does power boosted speed boost do anything?

Should boost Recovery and RunSpeed, but not recharge.
It enhances the movement boost.
Great if you already slot it for run speed anyway. 
I heard a rumour that if you hit Power Build Up and smack Speed Boost on someone just as they go past David Wincott, they land somewhere in the second group of outcasts. Never tried it myself of course.
*whistles innocently*
Scratch my first post - it's still broken. Just tried the test server again; fired up PBU and hit transfusion 3 times - 2 heals hit for 441 (my normal heal) and 1 hit for 781.
STILL BROKEN 
Did you /bug it? maybe if we /bug them enough, they might fix it!

Lasts only a few seconds - usualy long enough to fire off two powers, maybe 3 if their fast activating.

Warning:
The above post may contain Cynicism, sarcasm and/or pessimism. If you object to the quantities contained, then tough.
I've /bug reported it too many times to remember now - each time I get the standard 'blah de blah' automated response from NCSoft and never any follow up - I think that every /kin defender who's picked PBU has /bug reported it but to no avail. Even after all the different 'mini patch' updates it's not been properly fixed. Here's hoping that I9 will bring that fix.
I am standing firmly beside you on this on, I wish they would fix all these little niggly bugs.

hi guys,i m making my first defender and i picked a kinetic/dark...
I was wondering about 1 thing maybe u can help me...
If i use PBU and than Blakcstar,will the secondary effect (debuff accuracy)be boosted by PBU or not? Normally is -62,5 ACC ,but if this work the debuff should be also better...
thanks for any help..
It should be, I believe it buffs every aspect of the power.

Fingers crossed this crosses over to live (no reason why it shouldn't) - but... I've just tried my Kinetics defender on test and thought what the hell, give it a whirl... activated power build up, then fired off transfusion - and it WORKED!
Let's hope that this has been properly bug-fixed now, and say 'HELLO!' to some LOVELY AoE heals
