This generally makes it less than ideal to slot these procs into powers that affect foes.


edit: Oops, forgot to mention Drain Psyche.


I could see it usefull in pvp if you can find that level 1 guy in the train when you visit rv lol. pull your drain on him and then go fight

I'm not sure if this still happens somewhere, but there was a time when you'd sometimes find lower level mobs in the middle of mission-spawns. This happened a lot for Crey, and you'd frequently find grey-conning Lts (Crey Crisis Unit I think) among the "normal-conning" mobs.

For a brief period Claws/Follow Up gave buffs that obeyed Combat Modifiers (higher buffs against lower level foes), which made these Lts convenient Follow Up targets.

Not that I'd ever think about doing something like that of course...

It's better in the long run to just keep it in stamina but if you don't ever plan on exemping its more affective in PP.
Yeah that's the only problem. If you rsk below PP than you'll lose the proc altogether
