Hello, has anyone had any experience putting the Unspeakable Terror chance for disorient proc in Umbral Beast or Fearsome Stare from Dark Control? Which in your collective opinion would be better.. if at all?

thanks

IOs work funny in pets. Each of the pet's powers has a list of sets it accepts. If you slot a set in the pet of a different type, that power gets no benefit from the set.

For example, assume a hypothetical pet with the following powers:

1 - A Melee attack
2 - A Ranged attack
3 - A Ranged attack with a Fear effect
4 - A non-damaging AoE Fear

Pet sets (and Recharge Intensive Pet sets, if applicable) will affect all of the above powers in any way they can.
Fear sets will buff ONLY powers 3 and 4.
In the rare cases where it takes damage sets other than Pet sets, a Melee set would only affect power 1, and a ranged set would only afftect powers 2 and 3.
This holds true even if the enhancement(s) have aspects that could affect the other powers. An Acc/End from a fear set would do nothing for powers 1 and 2. Likewise, a fear proc would only ever trigger in powers 3 and 4.

I don't know what powers Umbral Beast has, but only ones with a fear component will ever have a chance of proccing an Unspeakable Terror: Chamce for Disorient.

Without knowing what powers the UB has that will proc, or how often it uses those powers, I can't say how beneficial slotting it there would be, not can I compare it to Fearsome Stare.

Umbral Beast gets five attacks.

Only one has a fear component - 50', 30 degree cone, ten sec. recharge time.

Unspeakable Terror: Chance for Disorient has a 2% chance to fire. And it is either mag 1 or 2 and only lasts for a few seconds.

In other words... It is useless.



Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.

Thanks for that and the other posts too peeps. I recently put a Lockdown chance for hold in Distortion Field from Time Manipulation and I'm amazed at how well it works. I've just suddenly got all proccy and am looking at exploring powers in a new way, I know not all of them will work. It would be good to compile a list of good ones, and I'm not talking globals, I think we all know which of those are almost necessary. I know Achille's Heel -Res is good but there's so many I haven't explored.

Anyway I thank you for your thoughts

Ha! Aggie is WRONG ABOUT THE WIKI (head to the shelters).

Although not all the detailed data is in, you definitely know what they are and what they do (unless I did a typo)

Which is odd, because she edited it to make the editing-in stick.

The MIB are being indiscriminate with their flashy-things. Only explanation.

Duh. Totally forgot you added them in, 37 fat-fingered a rollback, and I fixed it. Completely lost a day or something.
