-Don't just rebel, build a better world, comrade! Looking for validation: the chance for instant recharge seems dependent on activation of the power, not necessarily on hitting the target (or maybe not necessarily a live target). I noticed that a fellow player finished off a target before CS hit, yet PS recharged (and it was far from recharging on its own). Can anyone confirm/refute?

Do brutes get the same effect?
