Under the description the effect mentions most damaging attack. Well the stalker is totally boned if that attack is AS!. AS is such a pain to get off and the recharge rate is horrible. If its true the stalker would be better off dropping AS from the build.

The description refers to "most damaging attacks", in essence most all attacks that do damage. It is not referencing only your attack that does the most damage.

Wrong end of the stick here, I have to say.

It doesn't mean the most damaging attack you have, it means most attacks that do damage. You're just misreading it.

FYI, I think Interface works on everything except temp powers. (I know it works on every Power Pool and APP attack that my main has.)

With "everything" probably being all non-temp powers that take Damage enhancements. I've got a few damage free attacks (holds, sleeps, etc.). Probably those Mez type powers aren't affected. But a Widow's Domination for example, which does both Hold and Damage, I'd expect would be affected.

Yeah, it doesn't say your single most damaging attack, it says most attacks that do damage.

I had this same reaction the first time I looked at the description. Had to reread it to be sure.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

Now, in terms of maximizing the effectiveness of the powers, they do seem to strongly favor AoE and damage auras, so many stalkers are kinda getting the short end of Interface - but nothing new really.

Clearly, Interface favors MMs - but nothing new really.

Yeah I was thinking the same. "You're going to give my MM's pets WHAT? ... oh me... oh my... I'm going to have an evil lie-down for a sec..."

Has anyone noticed if "most damaging attacks" includes holds/immobilizes/slows with a damage component? Particularly the AoE ones?

As far as I can tell, it's 'any power that accepts damage enhancement'.

The important limitation on interface is that it only stacks four time regardless of who is using it. So while MMs will have a somewhat easier time building up Interface stacks on a target they won't actually go any higher than other ATs. However Reactive is still pretty useful for MMs since, from what I've heard, the Interface DoTs are not affected by the purple patch.

I want my caltrops to be able to kill AV's, just like in Ramiel's arc.

Once they all actually work on MMs, that is.

Four times regardless of source... per target. A Mastermind should have no trouble capping their Interface stacks on multiple targets.
