LOL get called on it go into incromprehensibility and then ostrich mode. What next whine about being neg repped ?

Why does this dispose me to kindness and a desire to help ?

P.S. I did, what you tube thinks is high def was probably defined when triodes made the bulk of a televison, and you had to ground out the flyback capacitor before even thinking about working on one.

Sorry I couldnt reply while you were posting. 41 before deletion. Went arch/dev works much better.

Completely Agree AR works well with most things. The OP was looking for best and given the tone of his post best would be something that would hold his interest while leveling it up.

Trying to take taunt in a blaster thread ?

If you want to put words in someones mouth expect to be corrected, if you don't like being corrected don't do it. Cause and effect, not hostility.

1st let me address the claim I didn't make and exists only in your head. I didn't say can build ultra long attacks in AR without boost range, I said you can build around range in AR. Anyone who has played AR knows ,AR has a glaring issue in that the cone come in all different ranges and it can be hard to leverage them solo (teamed it becomes a non issue). If you don't take some relatively easy steps it will be very hard to lay the cones over the mobs. Boost range is one way to work around that, but others are easy enough.

I really don't consider melee range single target damage a synergy with a cone heavy set. Sure it can come in handy and its by no means a bad thing, its just not as good as other things. An immobilize any immobilize has fantastic synergy with ignite, slows will prevent the mobs from getting to you. If you want ST and stuns /elec is probably a better chaice anyway as it has an aoe stun, or you can have a confused spawn killing each other, while they feed your endurance and hitpoints.

LOL the same way coffee beans that have been processed through a lemurs colon is an acquired taste.

400, 800 and 2500 are the magic numbers in the game minion level hp, lt level hp, boss hp, respectively. Full auto with out build up just doesnt cut it. With build up the minions are cleared a lts and bosses seriously hurt. Toss in the fact that /dev requires prep before every spawn well you have just attached a giant time sink to your play. The reason that it doesn't do well with teams is that except for certain crotoa missions and respec trials the team has killed the spawns by the time you have set your mines, caltrops and summoned the gun drone.

There is good reason devices was the set that was most resoundingly selected for complete redesign voiding the cottage rule in the recent thread on the topic. Ar + Dev is a great theme but not so hot gameplay

Ar/ment == win. I haven't tried every AR combo to 50 but this one just flys.

Subdual + Ignite = dead bosses and or avs

drain psyche + TK thrust + Psychic shockwave + World of Confusion = melee fun

Psy scream + buckshot + Full auto = farming fun

Some like EM with AR , I just cant see taking a secondary for one synergy. Especially when its easy enough to build around

Laughing with you. The same people also talk about how many characters they have marketing. Seeing as it takes 30 seconds to log out and another 20 seconds to log back in, somewhere they aren't accounting for their time.

The all blaster positron had something like 40 deaths. I forget what the all blaster synapses and sister psyches had but it was similar IIRC. All it takes is one good aoe hit on that team and that defense goes in the toilet same for mez.


Ehhh ? we are talking about a situation where people are paying 2 billion for a single IO, and we have others regularly bragging about 6 billion inf bids. You don't have to be Bernard Baruch to make inf on our market mostly you have to be the guy who is willing to wade through feces to get that shiny nickel.

Personally I just can't get the hang of dominators or defenders. I cant even work up enthusiasm for playing defenders.

I tend to agree that a good number of these people are probably RMT clients. Looks like a duck etc etc etc, just the same its a chance to educate them and bring them into the mainstream of the game.

My farm builds and my general purpose builds tend to be one and the same. I just don't see the point in spending a billion plus inf to make a gimped build that farms maybe 5million more an hour.*

*I do make some incredibly special purpose builds but I do those over on test where its cheaper quicker easier.

Aoe control vs Damage. Sirens Call is arguably the best blaster AOE in the game. It needs no recharge enhancement to be up every spawn. Set your difficulty settings to no bosses, stealth to spawn, siren song them then go to to town on them one after the other move to the next spawn.

If you are fighting things that do lethal damage they frequently have a -def component. So 45% with no debuff resistance will set you up for nasty defs. That said, insps more than cover it, or just picking the correct enemy.

Actually his strategy is the most sensible from a farming perspective. Have the right farm and the right tool to farm it.

Its a pretty bad build just the same though. Pointless slotting picks, unneeded gimping for any task but that AE farm. Major lack of team oriented powers.

LOL a guy with the name hedgefund is saying people with unlimited budgets tend to be RMT clients ?

The limited in game knowledge is certainly correct, but then again that is why they are asking the question. If you don't feel like helping them for whatever reason thats fine, but there is no reason to urinate on them by demonizing them as well. Many people might be stating that just to see where they should work towards.

If you are referring to the one hour challenge for the numbers,you need to multiply by a factor of somewhere between three and six to get the real earnings rate. That thread only took into account the vendor price, not the market price or the crafted price on the market. Crafted rares, and Ultra Rares seriously bump your earnings from farming and are the reason most people bother to farm. A crafted purple drop has a minimum value of around 5 million and a top end value upwards of 300 million, this considerably skews the earnings upward.

From a personal standpoint the market here is a bit like fishing in a barrel and using dynamite to do it. If you can deal with the tedium of gathering data its yours to play with. Of course if you want a market game http://www.cdosabandonware.com/std_g...hp?gameid=1154 this one has an AI that is considerably more challenging than the market and its going on 30 years old.

That's not an opinion its an observation about the rate at which things happen in the game. Its no different than if I said lower latitudes tend to have warmer climates and you came back with that you like winters

And kins are dreaming of the 4 minute speedboost

28% defense is not indestructible 80% dam is about 20% what a kin will do. There were some all blaster tfs on the old boards the death rate was astronomical

I really hope the pets going crazy isn't an intended change. This is just more of the old crazy pet problem that was around before the changes you mention. I would always have one (usually a tier 1) that would go crazy and break out and attack or run around like a nut even though they were on defensive follow.

On a well formed and well played team. Then again on a team with 4 or more buffers who play well what is the point of a blaster, scrapper, or tank ? The problem is getting those people together and having them all available. It sounds so much easier than it is. I'd be willing to bet one of the reasons that stacking buffs (like AM^8, Speedboost^8, etc) haven't been DRd or had some similar nerf, is that teams of mostly buffers are a very minor exception to the general rule.
