    Technician Laser Pointer: Do you auto proc Spotter with the Laser Pointer?

    If you have Spotter on your mask (15% damage to pulsed enemies) and you are running the Technician Laser pointer ads- which auto pulse anyone you point at, does that mean you get that free 15% damage to every target every time you aim at them?

    It should & pretty much adds another 15% to every hit without giving up a skill slot..
    Makes me wonder what we would be giving up thou.

    If it sounds 100% logical in English 101, then no! Massive does the complete opposite when it comes to plain English. Maybe a CM can shed some light on this?!

    A mask slot. Thats what. Spotter is Meh in TU6. This mod talent combo will be good but there are other really good options. Talent stacking (different ones) will be TU6 meta and having to give up 25 % hardhitting on the mask will be a big deal. With the other talents available the mask is probably the best place to get Hardhitting. The other obvious thing is that it prohibits you from using the other speccs, so no gunner mag / plate kit, no sharpshooter headshot damage ect. It's basically the "compensated" type buff for a tech class so they can get some damage in somewhere. Most builds that will use this specc will need it.

    Only the Berserker pulse counts as a status effect.

    Pulse did not proc wicked on the PTS. Also you would be giving up concussion on the mask for spotter. Concussion 20% headshot damage, you proc it by getting a headshot. Lasts 2 secs, or 5 for marksmanrilfes.
