Figured I'd add another example of weirdness to this thread:
Dominator Epic power pool Psionic Mastery
Link minds does not accept "Special" effects from Gather Shadows - its defence and tohit numbers should increase but do not. Attached screenshots shows numbers for Link minds + toggles without activation of Gather Shadows (top); Link minds clicked directly after Gather shadows with toggles affected (middle); and finally the same set after Gather shadows buff has worn off but Link minds still running (bottom).
It seems as if the Special buff from Gather shadows simply isn't applying correctly to Link minds. This should pretty much be identical in function to Power build up or Power boost for Defender/Corruptor/Controller affecting Farsight in Time manipulation, for instance.
If I were to wager a guess this may have been a quick fix to avoid the +Dmg from Gather shadows buffing the Psi resist in Link minds. Not sure that really makes sense for a 1.7% resist buff but it's the only reason I could think of as to why the +Defence/+Tohit is not affected by the Special flag.
