I can use Eye Beams with either other power just fine, but not the other two powers together. One of my PA characters uses Eye Beams, Chest Beam, and Plasma Beam. Which is great for triggering Overdrive but can cause the actual attack to not fire properly if you're not careful. Shoulder Launcher is really a tap AoE nuke with a long animation, but the animation acts like a toggle. So it doesn't work well with chargeable powers like Chest Beam or Tactical Missiles which also don't work well with each other within the theme of the set mechanics. Plasma Beam, for instance, is a maintain, but it's treated like a charge and not a toggle. I do know some of the other powers are misleading in what they are and how they work.
I don't know about that particular advantage on Wrist Bolter as I've never used it, but it wouldn't surprise me that it doesn't play nice with other powers in the set. If you read farther down the description it's called Single target Particle Damage. In its description in-game Chest Beam is called Ranged Damage (single target), not Ranged AoE Damage, but it's in the AoE section of power selections and of course in actual use, like Rocket Punch, it Is AoE. Not to confuse things but on a similar note. I am thinking that for the purposes of the tree choice above, Rocket Punch may just be a single target attack. It's also in the single target section when you look at power selections. Soooo Rocket Punch does indeed seem to be flagged as Single Target, to me anyway. I have to look at it again tonight but I think Rocket Punch is flagged as a Single Target attack in-game. Then I read the Rocket Punch power description in-game and it's called 'Ranged Attack' which I think means single target. The reason I bring up Rocket Punch being 'single target' is that I was going to pump it up with Mass Destruction (Tree choice to add +crit chance for AoE) to add some. It's not a big deal but since they didn't work together I was thinking maybe both attacks have to be a toggle (and or maintain, maybe.) for them to work at the same time. I walk in the Training room and start attacking a dummy and I can't get Wrist Bolter to work with Chest Beam. I got the advantage on Wrist Bolter to make it a Hand Attack.
