Energetic Protomatter Matrix Infuser and Energy Weapons: Exceed Rated Limits

I wanted to combine these so that the heal could cancel out the damage over time, but after testing it I noticed the Restorative Protomatter Matrix does not seem to activate from Exceed Rated Limits even though it has a shared cooldown with the abilities that do...Is this a bug or working as intended?

    I think its exceedingly rare for specialist BOFF powers to trigger procs, unfortunately. You'd probably be better off with the energy refrequencer, reputation trait.

    Thank you, I'll try it out. I'm just sad because I was excited to use the console on my tank.

    Yeah lots of things in this game don't quite work the way you'd want them to, unfortunately. If you've got a tanky ship though, the damage from that power is also fairly easily ignored via high hull regen.

    Depends on how many of those consoles you're using - the more you slot the greater the chance of proccing. You don't understand how it works, the damage from ERL does not activate the console. There is only a chance to activate the heal when you use attack powers if I remember right i.e. FAW, CRF etc.

    Yes, but its a 25% chance. If you try it say 20 times and it never activates when using ERL, then its safe to say it doesn't work with ERL.
