You are assuming that people do not know the difference. I can verify that when we have run it, he has used FoT and detoggled.

I see a lot of speculation in this thread about "It's supposed to be 100." and "The in-game info is wrong.", when they might be actually referring to the other power.
If FoT is dropping toggles and is having the effect of a Mag 100 stun, the in-game info is wrong OR the power itself is bugged. That is the purpose of the thread.

If you are sure the other power was the one that stunned you, that is not my experience.
Again, when we have run this, FoT is the power he is using that causes the insta toggle drop deaths.

Never said you couldn't. Never said you were wrong. I simply included info for those who might not be aware of it, to keep people on the same page.
Judging by NordBlast's reply, my assumption was apparently correct.

I guess somehow I implied there was a different purpose? Glad you clarified that for me.

Again, it's not my experience though. Repeating a bug is the first step to solving it, and I can't reproduce it. That doesn't mean you are wrong. It just means there is possibly more to it and/or specific circumstances that cause it.

Either way, it has nothing to do with my post. I was simply clarifying the information, especially since the beginning of this thread mentions the Fist power as the alpha strike, when I've seen him alpha more times with Lightning... so that's something to be careful of and pay special attention to when people start testing it and making their reports.

On a side note, you can avoid him even using the power by Taunting from Ranged and keeping him Immob.

Could I ask that the "last word freakism" and bickering be left out? I'd like to see this resolved and would rather not have the post passed over because it degraded into useless bickering.

Thank you.

Ran this again last night, and paid special attention to it for the purpose of this thread.

I still could not duplicate your results exactly... but after he opened with his mag100 Lightning, he used his Fist shortly after, so it's possible that if somebody only had around 100 stun protection, the Fist may put them over the threashold, and it may look like the Fist stunned them, when it was really a combination of the two. At no time during the fight did anybody get super-stunned by the Fist.

Again, that's not saying it didn't happen to you. Just to provide more information.. I was on an Invul Tank and I was being hit with stacked ID from our Kin. We also had Rad debuffs on Rom. I kept my Stun protection in my Combat Monitor, and Fist didn't seem to make much of a dent any time it went off.

By the way, did you send in a /bug report or /petition so that the people who can actually look at it internally can do so? We players can't do much to resolve your problem except run it ourselves and report what we see.

Yes. Combat logs were also attached in the replies. Castle was also PM'ed and directed to the thread.

Ran this last evening to give it a try. We had an Ill controller who sent pets in first, followed by our Tanker who taunted.

Our tank was hit with FoT after taking aggro, not Corrupted Lightning and was stunned/toggle dropped. Combat logs showed "Reichsman hits you with Fot... you are stunned etc."

An SG mate should be posting a screen cap.

Ran it again today. Reichsman was able to hit me only 3 times with the Fist during the entire fight. We didn't even have ANY ID/CM of any kind, so I was rolling with my standard +13 protection, and I still was not stunned at all, though I must point out that a couple of his other powers have like mag 3 or 4 stun, so if that was stacked with the mag10 of the fist, that might detoggle somebody too.

I copy/pasted my chat from those 3 occasions into one image file:
