Web grenade

So I was playing with mids and noticed something by accident. Would the gausian set actually only take effect when web grenade is used? Not sure if that part is a flaw in mids or not. I noticed that other set bonuses don't require the power to be active.

You can't actually use the Gaussian's set in Web Grenade. Or any other immob power for that matter.

EDIT: Unless you mean Targeting Drone.. In that case, all the set bonuses are active regardless of Targeting Drone's current status. The only thing that won't work, is the chance for BU if Targeting Drone isn't toggled on.

That is what I mean. Using the guassian set in web grenade. It lets you slot it with it but mids doesn't give you the set bonus unless it is in use. I thought that was strange since other sets in other powers don't require them to be active. Unless it is not supposed to accept to hit buff enhancements.

Sounds like a bug to me because Ive just tried looking at the different incarnations of web grenade in Blaster, Corruptors and MMs and none of the Web Grenade powers accept Gaussian only the Immobilize sets.

If your mouse has greater processing power than your gfx card, the answer is yes.

It isn't supposed to accept them. The power doesn't buff ToHit so there's no reason why it should accept them.

What you're talking about isn't a set bonus. It's the proc effect. Any time you slot one of the Build Up procs, Mids sets activates it as a toggle and if it's already a toggle, sets it up as another portion of the same toggle. Turning it off and on does nothing to the actual set bonuses.

And, as I said in the other thread wherein you brought this up, Mids' is not a direct line to the game. If it doesn't seem quite right, it's quite possible that the programmer's flubbed something.

Mids is not an official product for CoH, but a third party provided tool.

With that said, it's a very nice tool, but don't expect that it will mirror everything correctly in the game or that it won't have bugs. In game, web grenade will not take tohit buff enhancements or sets.

I believe that a fix to Mid's will be out shortly. Though, I will gladly take this issue up with him if I can find him on.

May I ask if this is across all incarnations of it, or only for a certain AT?
