Question about 2 procs for the Assault Bot

Mornin' all.

My issue now is that for some reason, many moons ago, I slotted the Assbot's 6th and final slot with the proc for chance + Recharge by 100% for 5 seconds ( I think it was from a knockback set). I don't recall why, but I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time. I recently got a drop for the purple Proc for Chance for Buildup. I think it was Soulbound Allegiance, but I'm not sure of the name, I just know it was the purple set for pets.

Now, my choice is either slot the sucker, or sell it. Is there any noticable benefit for slotting it? should I keep the existing proc for +recharge? Not really sure on it.....just dinged 50 on him. Thanks!

The existing +recharge proc isn't doing anything for you. All pets are not affected by recharge buffs/debuffs.

The soulbound proc is incredible in Assbot. It has a chance to build up every time it attacks for every target it hits. I've seen the thing double and tripple stacked. Good $deity the big orange numbers.

Well, I made the enhancement, slotted it, and now I just gotta get more time to play!

Thanks!

I'm only an off and on player but wouldn't it do more good in the battle drones each one would have the potential to build up with every successful hit

You get a lot more damage from your Assault bot, and the proc has a chance of firing for every enemy hit, I believe, so the increased AoE's of the Assault bot make it much better there. Now, if it were thugs, you would want it in the tier 1 pet because the arsonist functions much like the Assault bot and the other minions would get the chance to proc too.

The Soulbound Allegiance: Chance for Build Up cannot proc in anything but a tier 3 pet, its somewhere back in older patch notes. =/

Issue 15 Open Beta Release Notes - Added a note to pieces of the Soulbound Allegiance IO set that will warn the player that slotting this enhancement into a pet power that summons a pet that is lower than level 50 will result in the pet not benefiting from the effects of the enhancement.

The Link is here.

But yes, the 10% chance for 100% recharge does not benefit the pet, as it will only proc when you 'cast' the ability, which makes it relatively useless.

I'm not sure, you'd have to hop into the Dominator / Controller forums to get an answer for that.

Would it be good to put that in Oni? Oni has Rain of Fire. Wondering cause I have a ninja MM.

Oni has two RoFs. Rain of Fire, and Ring of Fire, the AoE rain power and a single target immoblize respectivly
