Devices Question

Hello all, I have a quick question about Targeting Drone.Is it worthwhile to put Gaussian's Synchronized Fire-Control chance for build up in one of my slots?
Thanks for any help

Sure, it will give you a small chance (5% I think) to have a build up effect happen. It checks every 10 seconds as long as the toggle is active.

It's nice to have it happen occasionally, but I only use the BU proc if I'm slotting the whole set in something. I believe my Sonic/Devices blaster has teh full set in his Targeting Drone, but I don't remember for sure because it's been a few weeks since I logged him in last.

The only gripe I have with outting it in a toggle is that it seems to go off when I'm not fighting most of the time. It's annoying having it go off when you're in mid-air flying to a mission, or between mobs when yuo can't hit anything yet, or standing at WW. I usually put it in a click power like Build Up (chance for double build up), or something like Follow Up or Blinding Feint.

Either way, it's not a bad choice for Targeting Drone as long as the power's other needs are met first.

How long does the build-up last? Is it 5 seconds, 10, 20?

So far as I can tell, with a 5% chance every 10 seconds, it's going to be up roughly N/2% of the time, where N is the duration in seconds. (10 second duration = 5% of the time). On the other hand, you get to cheat -- if you're waiting for a pull, you can wait until it procs, then attack, so you can start with it up.

it lasts 5 secs. but when it hits, it is definately worth it.
