Vince is correct. I tested this with my ice/rad. Spring Attack works in the same fashion as powers like Lightning Rod and Shield charge, delivering the damage via a pseudo-pet.

I don't think it does Containment either. It's not necessarily a psuedo-pet issue because Ice Storm does do Containment. Spring Attack just doesn't get any specials that I know of (crits, containment, scourge, etc).

It's mainly useful for the knockdown and getting into range quickly.

Not sure. It is a fun power though. My Broadsword/Willpower scrap uses it to pounce into the thick of battle...and minions have been killed when she does.

This. My Broadsword/Willpower is a bad girl and likes to be in the middle of things, as quickly as she can, and also likes to make splashy entrances, so this attack is perfect for her.

Thing with pseudo-pets is that in order for them to get Containment damage, the power has to summon an alternate version for Controllers. (Same with Corruptors and Scourge.)

Controllers Ice Storm gets half Containment (They get twice as many ticks of the Cold Damage portion, but not the Lethal Damage part.)
