Ah, didn't know it was blaster only

Yup energy melee does have a good number of 'stun' attacks. These only drop toggles if the target has no mez resistance, and will only drop toggles on something say like a tank or a scrapper if you can overcome their mez protection

Stun and total focus are the two prime attacks for this, they always do a stun portion, all the other attacks have a chance to do stun so its not guarenteed. You can break through sometimes on a tank or a scrapper, but you usually have to have a couple of attempts at it from my experience as its not 100% reliable. Usually it will take at least 3 stun attacks to be going at once to do the job, so as mentioned stun, total focus then hope for a lucky stun hit from one of your other attacks.

Obviously never seen an EM in PvP then, Energy Punch and Bone smasher both have a 100% chance to drop at least one toggle, iirc.

Nope, its called power build up, and yes it will increase defence debuffs

We would of gotten through the mito stage, would of just been full of a fair amount of death till the yellows got cleared.

But we wouldnt of held him.

Just a small reminder everyone, Get your backsides to the hive

Its fine against anything but blasters, If you put 3 defence in it, that is

Ah, fair enough then

Nothing like a good old death run.

Hmm, You spawned mitos anyway?

Whats the problem with the servers crashing then. Raid was allready a failure.

(Just saying, I know the servers crashing sucks )

Gotta love the servers, eh?

So right now I'm planning a mind/storm build, built for PvP. But my question is which ancillary should I take?

[/ QUOTE ]

:/

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry, was bored at work and I didnt read properly ;P

Don't forget the entire set full of toggle droppers that is energy melee.

Nothing beats the fire epic, in PvE imo.

If you have a nice aoe immobilize which mind doesnt though.

Aria, perhaps?

Side Note : What do people think of the idea of Defiance being changed so that, once you run out of Endurance, you can keep blasting, but this time it takes off Health instead of End?

[/ QUOTE ]

Grand idea. However, I see no indication whatsoever that the devs are considering a change to Defiance. The bottom line is that Blasters still do more damage than anyone, which the Devs constantly seem to regret, and the real special power we got was the slight Hp increase over Controllers and Defenders.

If Blasters are to get a real special power, even a substandard one like Scourge, I am afraid we will first have to lose damage.

[/ QUOTE ]

Except a brute. 850% increase when Fury bar is maxed out. Surely thats enough to far outdamage a blaster.
We have already lost alot of damage.
I did some solo missions last night, can only just 1 shot a lvl50 minion with aim, build up and snipe. Even total focus only takes 3/4 off an even level minion. (without aim and bu). I used to be able to 1 shot +2's with aim and bu. That is quite a major damage difference.

[/ QUOTE ]

Fury doesnt give that big of a buff. Thats actually the damage cap for brutes.

Fury only gives 200%, iirc.

Cheers uzzzzzzzi

Level your damn scrapper and join us! ;p

I can't make Fridays cos i've gotta go to work in the evening (work in a rock club). I had suggested boxing day, but no ones said anything. Good luck for Friday, then, and i'll be there in spirit.

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't think we would get many people on boxing day.

And It doesn't look like this will happen so far, from the lack of people who can make it. But i'll leave it till a bit later in the week to decide.

How many people would be up for one, Final shot at the Hamidon on this friday? Same time, 7pm meetup 8pm start.

Let me know if anyone would be up for it.

[ QUOTE ]
If it does then you have to be pretty damn close to Hami to use it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Everyone with holds will be in one big group next to Hamidon anyway, So that everyone can get the buffs

The other thing that allways annoyed me when I had my Dwarf, was the lack of a taunt aura. Made the holding the aggro a lot harder.

You should roll a AR/fire for the uber gimpness.

[/ QUOTE ]

Or Archery/Fire for SUPER Uber gimp!

Wow, well done mate. Been a long time coming too. Can still remember you winning a costume contest in Atlas [censored] ages ago when you were like level 5.

Well done again

They are set as a summon though, And I know stuff like pets, blizzard and burn dont get buffed. I THINK That it wont work, But I can check when I get in from work.

Don't think build up will buff them, as they are a technically a pet.

[ QUOTE ]
Well i made it to 32 last night and got photon seekers. They need some serious slotting to be effective. Kinda wish i'd gone for dawn strike first now. But in pvp they are gonna be quite handy.

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't worry about that, At first I thought they were quite pants too, But the second you get 3 damage in there you can just jump into the middle of a group and let em loose. Everything will take a big triple hit of -200 ish

And to dawn strike, yeah it seems a little bit underwhelming at first too, Its by no means as strong as blaster nukes. Its mainly good to finish a group off.

[ QUOTE ]
how many speed boosts can be stacked on one player before there is no effect from further stacking?

[/ QUOTE ]


You can only stack one from each player at any time, But Im not sure if there was like a +recharge "cap" or something like that. I allways kinda suspected that there was.
