So, what's a Particle Burst Pet?

Because it's showing up on my Dual Pistol/Traps/Dark corruptor on Live. No powers listed, just the name there as shown. Nothing popping up on any of my other characters

What am I supposed to be seeing here? Honest question. I see a build that has nothing out of the ordinary about it.

Took me a while to spot what you were talking about.

I believe several Radiation blasts work by granting the target a temp power with which they debuff themselves rather than the more standard wayof debuffing... something like that. The particularsare not familiar to me, but it comes up every so often.

Sudden urge to make a DP myself now to find out!

Have you been fighting Praetorian Clockwork perhaps? They have a DoT called Particle Burst; if it works via power-granting like Oedipus_Tex mentioned, it might show up in your enhancement screen. Presumably the DoT doesn't last long, but maybe the enhancement screen "remembers" it even after it's gone?

Ah, I see. This looks like a display bug, where a "hidden" temp power is somehow trying to display itself on your enhancements screen, but doesn't have enough information to open a whole subsection.

Googling, I found a previous thread on the subject which also came to the conclusion it was from Praetorian Clockwork. And I also found a city of Data page mentioning a Praetorian Clockwork power called "Particle Burst Pet".

Ahh that's probably it. I was just doing part of the Tina Macintyre arc, lots of clockwork there. Makes sense. What an odd little bug
