Bug: Concentration stacks not applying

flamingbunnyman

Concentration should stack under three conditions:
-Charge a ranged power at least half way
-Maintain a ranged power at least 4 ticks
-Strike a target from at least 25 feet away

The last one does not always apply, presumably due to the "strike a target" portion.

If you set up your Options so that you can attack without selecting a target, and you hit an enemy without them being targeted, you will not gain a stack of Concentration.

Reproduction steps:

-Set up "Free Targeting" as explained in this thread or this video.
-Select the Assault Rifle power. (I'm unsure if it applies to other powers; but I know it happens with this one)
-Tap the power to shoot a target from more than 25' away without selecting them. You WILL NOT get a stack of Concentration.
-Press tab to select a target that is 25' or more away, and Tap Assault Rifle again. You WILL get a stack of Concentration.

In addition, maintains that don't require a target (Lead Tempest, Iron Cyclone, et al) will not gain a stack of Concentration, even if fully maintained, unless they do at least one point of damage. I assume that this is working as intended, to prevent people from fully stacking Concentration without ever entering combat.

The way stacks are gained are inherently broken anyways. They don't apply to all powers and for some reason Enrage still sometimes applies where only half of the stacks refresh their duration.

Some powers DON'T even trigger Concentration
Ebon Rift was one of them the last time I used for testing

Ebon Rift not triggering Concentration kind of makes sense, since (as far as the game is concerned) you never attack anyone with it; you summon an entity that makes the attacks for you.

I though about that too, it could be because it's actually like a Summon...?

But it still clasified as Maintain Power and Ranged Area Attack

Telekinetic Burst doesn't apply conc stacks either, even when the Tap (x4 = 1 stack) and Charge (full charge = 1 stack) are fulfilled.
