Traps + Power Boost?
Hello capes. I'll be honest here.... I'm not a defender. I'm a mastermind. I thought you might be the ones to come to though.
Share and share alike right? Anyway traps in theory has a ton of powers that could benefit from power boost. However traps are pets and psudo pets. I know they have fixed it to "rain" psudo pets get the effect of power boost. What about the pets from the traps set? FFG? Triage Beacon? Seeker Drones? caltrops? If it works it would be amazingly powerful. |
The way it's -supposed- to work is that the pet inherits your power boost, but it also inherits the fact that that power boost is going to expire in a few seconds. The only pet-type power in traps that could potentially benefit from this is seeker drones, assuming that they properly inherit buffs.
Aside from Web Grenade, Power Boost in Traps only affects the effects (hehe) of pseudopets, not actual pets.
Powers in Traps that are pseudopets (and will get buffed by PB):
Triage Beacon*
Caltrops (slow)
PGT (hold duration)
Trip Mine*
Powers in Traps that are 'actual' pets (and won't get buffed by PB):
Acid Mortar
FFG
Seeker Drones
*While Trip Mine and Triage Beacon are eligible to be buffed by PB, none of their effects are actually enhanced by it (PB boosts heal but not regen, and as of a few issues it doesn't affect KB either)

Although the boost will only last the remaining duration of soul Drain. If the Mine goes off after that ti will only do the unboosted damage.
