Procs/Interface in Omega Maneuver?

Shucks! I always go into every thread about Omega Maneuver looking to say bad things about it.

But seriously... I don't believe that Omega Maneuver does any knockback of its own. So, if you slot it with the Stupefy knockback proc it should be obvious if it triggers.

Ah, the Stupefy proc, that's a good idea. I still haven't seen it proc but was wondering if it just wasn't displaying it for some reason. I'll test again with that but I've pretty much concluded that they're just not working. Also, I noticed that Omega Bomb shows up on the pet display and it DOES have the Interface buff but still not applying. Maybe the self-destruct aspect of Omega nullifies the interface dot.

In regards to Omega itself, I ended up respec'ing out of Boxing/Tough for Omega/Vengeance. I know it sounds a bit crazy to drop Tough, but with so much other mitigation the only time I die is if I end up doing something stupid that even Tough wouldn't save me from. Usually other team/league mates drop before I do so Vengeance is nice, plus it allows me to slot the 5th gambler I never could fit in to my build. With the i22 change to Vengeance in leagues it makes it so much more worth it.

Omega I have with 4 slots and sits at 127% damage with Musculature and recharges in about 90 seconds. I hated this power when I picked it up on my crab when first hitting 32 because I guess I was just expecting more. Really though, it's a crashless mini nuke that just adds more damage in to my already damage oriented build. My build does not revolve around it but rather it's just an extra tool. I ran lots of different content last night: solo, steamroll TFs, iTrials and I've been able to use Omega effectively in all of them. In retrospect, when I first picked up at 32 I now realize I just wasn't using it right.

Well, now that I've opened the flood gates of an Omega bashing thread go right ahead and tell me why you hate it. I, personally, do not regret my choice and find that my build has improved from it.

I respect that and I agree that Omega is definitely not for everyone.

My build is a fast-hover AoE build so my immediate mitigation is high ranged def and high maneuverability in lining up cones. Since I'm not throwing myself in the melee/tanking role, I was able to give up Tough in favor of more damage and team buff. I've always been a big fan of Vengeance but even more so now with my pets. They normally sit at around 30 def with double maneuvers/IO aura, but vengeance throws them way over cap plus that juicy extra 35% damage is ohhh so nice.
