Dimension Shift bugged?

Hi again,

Well I have now got Dimension Shift, and have been playing around with it, but I think it may be slightly bugged. Let me explain the peoblem I am having...

If I trap a bunch of mobs in it, then all is good, they get imobilized, and phased no problem. However, the power description also says that mobs who enter the phase will also be imobilized and phased. This is not allways happening. Mobs seem to happily run from the far side of the bubble, through it and out the other side, and start beating on me.

Basically the Imobilize does not seem to allways lockdown mobs that pass thru the field. Having checked, the imobilize I believe is now mag10 and also auto hit, so no idea how the run thru it without being immobilized.

I think they seem to phase when in the bubble, but not get rooted, unless they were inside when it was actually put down.

Any thoughts welcome!

Some mobs are virtually immune to immobilize (warwolves, for instance). Run across one of those mobs and they'll pretty much ignore DS.

Indeed, sadly this was with Helions in the AE just to play with the power. Unless it is something to do with it being an AE mission, but if so, not sure why. I havent tried it on mobs in the street so to speak yet. Just wondered if anyone else was having the same problem?

In the AE mission; are the mobs that run through your DS an ambush by chance?


I ask because I've seen back in Going Rogue beta (or other betas forgot which) where I would lay down an area location debuff (Time Manip.'s -speed power...forgot name) and the mobs would run right through it with no debuffs on them.


They'd only get debuffed once the ambush mobs "reached their destination" and started to attack me (or teammates).


I've also seen very rarely where mobs inside of DS have moved out of the DS field.

Hi

No it was literally a static spawn of 3 helion minions. I placed Dimension shift to split the mobs. The one that got phased inside was rooted and phased. The 2 Helions behind obviously saw me and agroed, and run thru and past the phased mob, then out this side to attack me.

I was baffled cause I am sure they should have been auto imobilized when they ran into it.

I tried it several times, and got similar results. sometimes they seemed to get rooted in there but mostly they just ran on thru. I specced out of it in disgust tbh, but may have to get it back to try again.

I haven't actually used the power on my Grav/Storm before or after the change but could it be to do with how the pseudo pet summoned applies the immobilize?

Looking at City of Data it says it has a "2.25s Immobilized (mag 10)". If this is applied as an AoE every 2.25s rather than individually to each bad guy. In theory it could be possible for the bad guy to run through the field before the next immobilize is applied giving the mixed results you have seen.
