Detect Vulnerability and Telepathy

sakuratamaki

After taking a break for several months, i noticed Telepathy skills are on live. Eventhough they were not the same as before (don't seem to interrupt anymore), i was interested in trying these out and.

So my question was: does "Detect Vulnerability" work with DoT's like "Congress of Selves"?
Because I was thinking off making a support Telepathy with primary SS int and secondaries Con and Pre

Congress of Selves provides the 30% ignore to Ego DoTs only.

Detect Vulnerability should work on top of this, resulting in a higher defense penetration value.

So 30% from CoS + Detect Vulnerability % resist ignore.

It is pretty potent.

I thought CoS was "bugged" and the dots were only gaining the defense pen on the initial hit and not the duration, because dot's don't recheck the originator's pen? That's what I'd heard before it had left PTS anyways.

I complained. A lot. And it was fixed as of 22nd of August 2013. As was the rest of the New Telepathy bugs, check out my thread's (FATAL ERR0R: Telepathy) and you'll see.

Good to know! The PTS threads got so huge it was hard to tell what was and wasn't getting fixed. So do all dots check your pen now, or was it just a fix to CoS?

Congress of Selves is the only thing that was fixed. Everything else does not allow dots to penetrate defenses past the initial strike.

Might as well also put in that the vehicle defense penetration mod does not work.

Yeah, sadly DV doesn't apply to lingering effect of the DoTs

Initial Penetration + Lingering Penetration = CoS ONLY

Initial Penetration = DETECT VULNERABILITY + CoS.

So looks like INT would just be a primary to further the damage that Mind Break offers then.

The Mind Break detonation should be affected by DV but not CoS (at least not directly since detonating Stress = 5% resistance ignored per stack)
