Voltaic Sentinel

One cannot target or directly buff a Voltaic Sentinel. I have some questions regarding this:

1) Can powers that indirectly buff effect VS? (i.e. Assault, Tactics)

2) Can self effecting powers buff VS? (i.e. Soulbound Allegiance: Chance for Build Up)

Any information would be much appreciated.

I believe the answer is:

1) No

2) No

2 MAY be yes, but I don't believe so. It would be kind of annoying to hit Build Up every time you cast VS. And if Build Up effected VS, then any self buff proc of the like would as well, and vice versa.

No, Voltaic Sentinel cannot be affected by any powers at all. It is both untargetable and untouchable, and it cannot even target itself, which self-affecting buffs require. The good news is it can't be debuffed either, so it will happily fire away no matter how many bad status effects are floating around the battlefield.

Leo G: You're right - what I'd meant was that VS can't affect itself because it's basically "not there." With regard to self-targeting, I was thinking of the inability to slot Taunt sets in aura powers such as Chilling Embrace because the procs from Triumphant Insult and Perfect Zinger can affect the user as well as enemies. Chilling Embrace doesn't have a "self" component, only "target."

I doubt the Soulbound Allegiance proc would work in Voltaic Sentinel, although I'm sure you could still slot it. Also, how would that proc work in a recharge-intensive pet power that summons multiple entities, like Gang War? Does each pet get a chance to be affected once per cycle, or does the proc fire or not when the power is first used?

So I've heard as well. I had it slotted into Punks/Arsonist on my Thugs MM and monitored their stats for 5 missions in a row, didn't proc even once so I got rid of it. Definitely doesn't work in minion pets, didn't bother trying with Enforcers due to lack of spare slots (I have Lady Grey and Achilles Heel procs in them)
