Fulcrum Shift

Fulcrum Shift is awesome, yes, but I have a question. I never remember missing with it...not once on a tangible foe. So does it need accuracy slotted? I ask because I'm working on a respec...and every slot counts.

Thank you kindly

It can and does miss. You want at least enough accuracy to cap you against what you normally fight. I usually slot two Accuracy IOs and three Recharges (two if I REALLY need to get a slot somewhere, and then only if I have good global recharge).

11 months of all-nighters, messy feeding sessions, bath fighting and realizing just how good my son's lungs work, and I am still convinced he is the crowning accomplishment in my life. What in the blue HFIL is wrong with me?

Yes, it needs Accuracy. It is guaranteed to give at least 40-50%, depending on your AT, no matter if you hit an enemy or not, but beyond that, it needs accuracy slotted if you expect to get anymore damage buffs.

As others have said, it does need to hit - but only for part of it.

The way it works, it summons 2 pseudopets: one around you, and one around your target.

The pet around you is pretty simple: it just provides all allies in a 20' radius (well, up to 255 allies) either a +40% damage buff, or for Defenders a +50% damage buff. This is autohit, and doesn't care if your target dies or not.

The pet around your target acts like Transference and Transfusion in that the target must still be alive when the pet gets summoned for anything to happen, but assuming that the pet is summoned correctly, it does the following:

• makes a to-hit check against enemies within 30', until all are checked or 10 targets are hit.
• each target hit receives -20% damage, or -25% for a Defender.
• for every target hit, a pseudopet buff pops up with the same "must live through summoning" issues that the debuff pet had.
• each one of the buff pseudopets provides an autohit, +20% (25% for Defender) to all allies within 20' of the target, up to 255 allies affected.

And now you know a lot more than you ever cared to know about how the power works, and what parts need to hit.
