What are all those things that various DE leave sitting in the battlefield? Doyce has the scoop:
- Quartz crystals: give a + To Hit (technically different than +ACC from enhancements) of around 300%
- Fungi: make resistant to statuses
- Cairns: raise damage resistance
- Trees of Life: regen hit points
Good to know. What’s unclear is whether, if a DE is Deceived/Confused and they lay a goody, whether the benefit redounds to the heroes or not (a la Force Field Generators).
(Doyce cites the CoH Forums, but I can’t find the quote there.)
My strategy: take out cairns IMMEDIATELY. The otheres can wait until after the DE are all down.
I suspect you are right, though all of them have the opportunity to screw up a fight a bit. Depending on the situation, I can see Quartz and ToL as causing serious problems.
