    GILA GUARD: Nightwatcher quiry

    Hey
    My Gila Guard Nightwatcher mask is only reducing the cool down on the Scanner Pulse and not the Remote or Jammer models....is this correct? I was hoping to use it on the Jammer...

    Probably coding omission, I presume.

    It is only good for the original pulse not all pulse style skill variants.

    At least that is the only one it has any effect on.

    Knowing the devs it could go either way really.

    Right...odd it only applies to the one skill type, I though I had some weird bug...but if it’s a coding omission I will go a different direction with the build

    It is specifically for Scanner Pulse, not meant to reduce Remote or Jammer.

    No, it is not a "coding omission" (what would even give that insinuation?)

    it explicitly says on the mask it is PULSE haste,
    "coding omission"? lol c'mon

    Well in their defense there are any number of issues/bugs. Honest mistake really. Especially considering the state of the game.

    Maybe that is just my thinking.

    Wow ... I understand being ignorant of the game's terminology, but trying to lecture and dismiss people who asked a valid question, just because you don't understand the game's terminology, is a bit much.

    Yes, the game explicitly names the Nightwatcher mask's attribute "Pulse Haste".

    The game also explicitly names four skills as "Pulse": the Scanner Pulse, the Remote Pulse, the Jammer Pulse, and the Banshee Pulse. So from what the game tells us, there is no reason why the attribute would only affect one of the Pulse skills and not the others.

    Yet, the Nightwatcher talent works only with the Scanner Pulse, but not with any of the others. Hence people ask (legitimately) if this working as designed (in that case the attribute would be better named "Scanner Haste" or "Scanner Pulse Haste"), or whether it's a bug (which is possible as long as the devs haven't clarified what the intended behavior is).

    Not so hard to understand, is it?

    If you have any actual evidence that this is the intended behavior (e.g. a dev quote), please provide it, it would be helpful.

    If you don't have any evidence, please stop stating speculation as if it were fact - doing so is definitely _not_ helpful.

    save ya dissertation,
    it's one thing to be ignorant and ask
    it's another to be ignorant and accused of making an error when one is not present.
    thanks white knight, but be easy
