Hyrbrid and damage auras.

Asked a similar question a few days back and got no reply..so trying again.

Thinking of control hybrid on some toons with damage auras. I am wondering..

How does hybrid WORK with them? Is it like damage procs/interface, which only have a single change of hitting ONE foe per pulse interval? Would assault be better with an aura, since each tic of damage might trigger the hybrid boost?

I was thinking the +mag mez might be good in dark armour..but if it only fires on one target..

Sadly, I can't answer your question, but the above is not how damage procs and interface work currently. They can and do hit multiple targets. What is limited is whether they apply on any given activation of a power, but when they do apply, they can theoretically hit all targets hit by the power. They are not limited to one target per "tick".

I think thats what I meant Uber. Maybe. I remember when Interface was broken as hell in rain powers etc, then tweaked?

The PLANNED behavior for Interface in "Patch" or mock pets and auras is one attempt per 10 seconds per enemy.

Interface procs in damage powers, so for PBAOE damage auras it *should* run a check once every 10 sec, for each enemy that has the debuff (it's a DoT)

After they fixed it so that it didn't tick on every little bit of damage in those powers, it didn't work at all.. rather, I guess, it only ran the check on one enemy out of the entire AoE. Don't know if it's currently fixed.


Hope that helps, but can't speak on how Hybrid works in PBAOE damage toggles, as of yet.

Do I ever. I think it took months for people to figure out why they couldn't solo Prisoner doors in the BAF once that changed.
