Traps PGT and -Regen


Bandeeto

A question or two for all you /Traps experts.

I've read in a number of locations that Poison Gas Trap from the /Traps set gives -1000% regen, which makes it sound like an excellent EB/AV tool.

However, as best I can tell from City of Data, that particular debuff lasts for a total of 10 sec...not the most useful thing given how long the power takes to recharge.

Am I misreading this? Does the PGT continue to tick and attempt to re-apply the -Regen as long as the AV remains within the cloud? Is there anything you can slot that would make it more likely to fire and hit with the -Regen effect? And how long does the cloud last, in total, anyhow?

Thanks in advance for any info.

Yes, PGT ticks and reapplies the -regen, so it lasts for as long as they're in the cloud plus 10 more seconds. Going by Redtomax's site it looks like it ticks every second. I believe it's auto hit.

Correct, the regen and recharge debuffs are autohit.

PGT has a duration of 30 seconds, so the debuff will last 40 seconds as long as the target remains in the poison cloud.

Making it far more useful. Thanks for the info!

Why did they have to change it! I want them to make a dom with poison. I want an AoE hold effect that makes them puke.


When all hope seems to have drifted away.. and the shadows of death creep closer. Do not fear or cower.. do not make peace or seek salvation. For I will be there, supporting your movement. So give me your pain, weakness, despair, fear and doubt.. The Light will grant you another stand.
