Gaussian's Synchronized Fire-Control: Chance for Build Up in Thugs Enforcer?

Ok, put one there, replacing one of three standard damage IOs. I assume this is building up for the enforcer and not for me, correct?

As the two IOs add 82% damage, vs. pushing 97% for three, I am also assuming this will amount to more than 17% average damage bonus. Good, bad, stupid?


ETA: It's the only thug who will accept it, BTW. I do not need it for myself as I don't do much direct damage.

You know, this actually sounds really fun to test, maybe on a second build, just to see what would happen. If it turns out to be any use whatsoever, I may start slotting the thing in my Enforcers for the heck of it.

It should check to proc every 10 seconds in their leadership power. At 5% proc rate. Thats each enforcer getting a proc hit once every 200 seconds. You may get lucky and get them more frequently. You may get unlucky and see it alot less that.

I doubt that that equates to a perma 17% damage boost. And while the momentary additional tohit would be nice, again, i dont think it would be worth it,

It is also possible that when it fired on one of them it would fire on both, as the soulbound proc seems to do with powers that summon multiple pets. That would make it quite a bit more useful. I have it slotted in my enforcers, but haven't played that mm since slotting it so I couldn't tell you how often it goes off

The soulbound Proc doesnt function like that at all. Atleast not in my experience.

My Demons MM has it slotted in the demonlings power and it will only proc on a single demon when it does. Thats not to say it wont proc on all 3 seperately at nearly the same time, but thats rarer.

I think we need some combat logs posted to see how often it goes off. I'm interested too.

It works, but not worth the the slot. I tested it a few years back with it first came out and found the result disappointing. I have two Thug MMs at 50, a Thug/FF and a Thug/Poison. I slotted my Enforcers with the following.

Acc (91.78%) Dam (91.78%) Def (25.5%)

• (A) Blood Mandate - Accuracy/Damage
• (13) Blood Mandate - Accuracy/Damage/Endurance
• (13) Sovereign Right - Accuracy/Damage
• (15) Sovereign Right - Accuracy/Damage/Endurance
• (15) Defense Buff IO
• (17) Achilles' Heel - Chance for Res Debuff

The only power I've found it to be useful in is Buildup powers. Its low chance to fire and short duration doesn't give much room for attacks to fire off. Hardly worth it when Enforcers can slot so many things that can be useful. I've had it in my Def tactics and rarely see it fire let alone have time to use the bonus. I still have it slotted on my Huntsman TT: Leadership, mainly for the set bonus. Again it still rarely fires off and hardly useful if I just attacked and in mid animation for my next attack.
