Lore pets and Interface

A while back, I remember reading a post about Lore Pets and Interface, with the poster saying his pets wouldn't proc the interface. I replied that was wrong, along with others.

However, it seems that poster might have been right after all... for certain pets and interfaces.

While I know for sure Cimeroran Lore pets (Core Superior Ally) work with Reactive (Radial Flawless Interface), it seems Robotic Drones don't trigger Spectral at any time. The Robotic Drones is Total Core Improved Ally, while Spectral is Total Radial Conversion.

I tested both of those in the Warzone dummies. The Robotic Drones, I had a Night Widow pet testing to see if she could trigger procs with Spectral, which she could, so it might all just be on Robotic Drones.

Interesting. I wish I could contribute to the data with any of my toons, but they all have t4 cimeroran core and they all have t4 reactive radial. >_>

Some quick testing. I'll group the former results here as well.

  • Cimeroran Core Superior Ally triggers Reactive Radial Flawless Interface.
  • Warworks Core Superior Ally triggers Reactive Radial Flawless Interface, Cognitive Total Radial Conversion, Spectral Total Radial Conversion.
  • Phantom Core Superior Ally triggers Reactive Radial Flawless Interface.
  • Longbow Total Core Improved Ally triggers Reactive Radial Flawless Interface.
  • Arachnos Total Core Improved Ally triggers Degenerative Radial Flawless Interface.
  • Clockwork Core Ally triggers Reactive Radial Flawless Interface.
  • Robotic Drones Total Core Improved Ally does NOT trigger Spectral Total Radial Conversion.
  • Storm Elemental Core Superior Ally does NOT trigger Preemptive Radial Flawless Interface.
  • Carnival of Shadows (unknown tier) does NOT trigger Reactive (unknown tier)

Sadly, that's all the pets I have. I hope we can get testing on the other pets as well.

If anyone has Storm Elemental or Robotic Drones with other interfaces, could you nip over to the warzone, attack the vanguard dummies for a while and note if you see your lore pets triggering interface?

I'll see what I can do to get some results for some of these.

Wow, this NEEDS to get reported immediately. Get Arbiter Hawk & Synapse in on this, on top of sending /bug reports.

Warworks was able to trigger Spectral (which I included in results), so it doesn't seem to be Interface related, but more Lore related. Even so, testing would help.

I sincerely hope this isn't working as intended though. Storm Elemental and Robotic Drones are already in the lower tiers of DPS, run out of endurance faster than other Lore Pets and on top of that, don't trigger Interface? o_O

PM'd Arbiter Hawk and Synapse, they informed me it's a bug, been fixed internally, and a patch should be coming to live fairly soon (not sure when though).

I'm just hoping it was those two which was bugged and not several others, haha.

So, thread over! XD
