Force Feedback: Chance for +Recharge

I just made this Enhancement and wondering if I should slot into one of my robot henchmen. I am not sure if it's going to have an effect or if it does, is it worth it?

Blast, here I thought I could give one each to them all So it only works on player-based attack like energy and other knock back eh?

Yes, it has to be a non-pet power. So don't use it in Bots, or Lightning Cloud or anything like that.

How long ago was this change made??? I had a force feedback proc in my Assault Bot over six months ago and enjoined such fiery benefits that made me absolutely content to play as a poison MM. Can anyone else confirm that the recharge proc no longer works for pets?

Way back last April, when Issue 14 came out.

Quote:
Pet attack powers (the powers that the pets themselves use, not the summon powers) are no longer affected by recharge changes of any kind in order to fix AI power cycling issues. This means that enhancements, buffs such as Speed Boost, or slows will no longer affect pet attack powers.

Actually, I've tried this proc and watched my pet's global recharge in the combat monitor, and it does work. Whenever the +recharge icon shows on the pet, their global recharge shows up temporarily as being boosted.

I haven't actually timed their attack rate, though, so there's no way to be totally sure.

The numbers will still show up, but they no longer have any affect.


The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

So, does that mean they can't be slowed either? Like if a Lost Anathema hits them with his psi powers, the -Recharge effect won't slow down their attack rates?

Yep, one nice side effect of the annoying change
