Attuma vs different AAR

Wond3rLad

Can anyone confirm if attuma's reverse AAR function works with all versions of AAR?
I was fighting joe fixit and he got me with a disorient (lower defensive ability accuracy). Shouldn't have affected attuma but his parry registered as i got the "parry" text but no stun happened.
Same kinda thing happens against overseer. His "special concussions" lower special ability accuracy so attume should benefit off them...but doesnt.

Intended? Oversight? Bug?

Not sure about special concessions, as multiple trigger attemps means the ability will eventually fail
But disorient making parry stun fail does seems to be a bug…

Where were you fighting Joe Fixit? I just Practiced Joe with Attuma and didn't have any trouble parrying with a Disorient on me. It's possible I didn't parry enough times to see what you were seeing; but make sure you weren't on a Mighty Charge/Obstinate charge node.

I'm happy to say, you're definitely wrong about Overseer. I've just checked special concussion, and it worked fine for me. Easy to prove: I just Practiced with Unawakened Attuma against Overseer, spammed SP1 and never threw a Heavy attack. On the second or third attempt, I got six Hydration from an SP1, proving that Attuma's AAR inversion is working*. You won't see it on every attempt; as it's only a 10% chance per stack; but just seeing it once is enough to prove it's working.

I've also checked with Peni Parker, who reduces the Ability Accuracy of True Accuracy by 100%: Attuma bypasses her Autoblock just fine.

Finally, he also works to Purify non-damaging debuffs against Apocalypse.

*I don't particularly recommend this fight, though. Attuma has the same problem against Awakened Overseer as he does against Awakened Domino: if his abilities fail due to reduced AAR - which they will, as successive triggers have -100% Ability Accuracy - Attuma takes Retaliation damage every time...

I hope that helps a bit 🙂.
