Quote:A good IO build to fall into the 50-100 million range is going to need a lot of merits, or be a very budget based build. Some builds will be cheaper to IO than others, but my default amount of currency to have on hand before I IO out a build is 1 billion.Originally Posted by Neo_G_Dice
A good IO build might set you back around 50-100 million. But it's well worth it. -
Depending on what kind of bid you want to buy an IO on, it might be just quicker to craft it yourself. I would grab 2K-3K in AE tickets and you can random roll the salvage and be left to just get the recipes which will be cheaper.

You have no end slotting in Blazing Aura, Weave, Maneuvers, or Tactics. Unless I missed it, you have no -KB slotted either. I would work merits in their various forms if you want to keep the budget down. Looks like you have 4 LotG: Def/+recharge slotted and in terms of market value, you are looking close to 500 mill right there. The Kinetic Combats can be rather pricey as well.

E-mail yourself using your @global. This way any of your characters on my server can get it. You are limited to 20 e-mails being stored at a time, and something like 100/150 per day. One hyper active day I actually reached the max for the day.

Quote:Back in the day when I checked the market forum maybe once a year, the best advice I picked up was using a signature. A signature is something like a two digit number that you use for any item you put up for sale. Let's say you pick 85 because you were born in 1985. When you see something being bought for 5 mil you don't list yours at 5 mil since somebody pretty much will always undercut you. You list it for something like 4,999,985. Suddenly things that sat and sat started to sell for me.Originally Posted by Yomo_Kimyata
1. The real game in the market is in figuring out how to sell things in relationship to your competitors. Buying is SO much easier than selling.

I think the change in Burn for Fire Armor had more to do with Fire/kin not being the farm king than inherit fitness. If anything else, end usage should be more difficult now that you have more powers with using the same number of slots. Saying that, Fire/kin is still one of the cheapest builds to farm with and can do so on SOs. Remember, there are two types of farms. One is to PL others at +4x8w/B and SS/fire/mu brutes are kings at this. There is also farming to get tickets in AE and is easily done by a number of builds since all you need to do is +1x8w/B, or +2x8. The higher diff settings will just make it quicker to cap tickets. Top of the line brutes can hit the ticket cap(1.5K) in under a minute.
Since one will be abusing the market with ticket farming, learning the market is really the best way to earn currency in the game. I had generated something like 4-5 billion from the market alone before I made a ticket muncher. If I was aggressive about it, I don't doubt I could generate 1 bill in a week from just the market. -
Some time ago I think Earth/rad was deemed the best team based controller. I have a level 50 Earth/storm that was fun as hell to level up. All of the Earth controllers you listed will more than work. I do have a Plant/storm that I enjoyed as well and the ride to 50 was very similar to my Earth/storm in terms of fun.
For brutes, /kin is the default answer. Whole VGs were made when CoV hit based around the idea of brutes with /kins. Any other option depends on what kind of brute. A /sr and /shield brute will have different needs than a /elec one. -

well, i just created a claws/elec brute. I attempted to run the arc mentioned. I don't seem to be leveling at a rate that would seem to be at 5.5 hours. I was also dieing in each mob and having to go to the hospital. It was taking 2 or 3 trips to get 1 run completed. Maybe im missing something. Im only running at 0x1 and using every isnp. That i can get a hold of. It's not as easy as made out to be. Unless, like i said, im missing something? Im only level 11 now and it's taken me an hour of runs. I dont think im hitting 50 in 4 more.rtfm.Quote:Originally Posted by topdoc
do that on the way to the fortunata in mercy, and set your difficulty to +1/x8 with bosses enabled.

Also note that depending on when you start doing the trials you will be either 50, or 50(+1) going against level 54s. As you get the level shifts, hitting things will be much easier. Hitting a +4 is one thing. Hitting a +1 is just normal content.

Quote:I'm not even exactly sure why a brute has a 775% damage cap post 21+ when a blaster caps at 500%. Considering the difficulty it takes to reach 500% in normal game play, the 775% cap simply exists for power gaming.Originally Posted by TopDoc
Limit Inspirations to 4 or 5 at a time each, make the Brute damage cap lower at lower levels like other ATs, scale the Fury bonus by level somehow, cancel Inspirations when zoning, only allow a single ambush to be triggered per boss or object, probably more stuff. But no matter what they do, people who want the best rewards will find an efficient way to get them. There will always be a big difference between what the devs design as a fun way to play the game and attract players, and what the min/maxers will do to get the best rewards.

Quote:Energize also does it at a much lower end cost. Yes, you can IO DR out and add in the +end proc, but if it's just an AV you are fighting, then that's a low chance to proc.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
For clarification:
Dark Armor does not require larger mobs to feed its mitigation either. One target will heal more hit points and more often than Energize will. Further, with just two SOs of heal enhancement, Dark Regeneration heals more than your base HP with two targets hit. -
I would say Claws/sr, but Claws/elec would likely be the one I would pick since of the three it doesn't require larger mobs to feed it's mitigation. I would aim for as much def as you can get within reason, perma Energize, and then whatever attack chain you can get the best DPS from.

IIRC, the redraw time was part of the animation time so the redraw was not a factor when calculating DPS. The animation changes got rid of the redraw factor. This means when you do have redraw it is added on top of the animation time so redraw now is considered bad.
-
/invul is one of the best high end brutes you can make. Claws is rather good on a brute.

I'm trying to remember if I was getting them on characters who weren't in SGs before I got them into my own personal ones. I do know a player/their SG on Virtue is well known for sending what would seem like random tells about looking for an SG. Like I said, I just can't recall if those characters I were playing where in a SG at the time. I don't get them normally from ones that are.

Quote:Trial players already face these issues.* The only difference in Freedom is that there will be more people going everywhere. Because of this, VIPs and people able to lead teams will more likely be there as well. VIP players need to level their characters and certainly ones with new power sets. Not everybody PLs using AE.Originally Posted by Garielle
My point Amy is that a large portion of the existing players (the ones that would be able to form teams, help new players out, etc) are on the Hero side.
* This assumes the current version of trial account limitations being ok. -
Quote:If given an option to buy the pack via ala carte, I would only buy what I would want. If given the option to buy the pack as a whole, I would buy the pack.Originally Posted by Lothic
The penalty for getting to buy the exact a la carte items we want is that buying them all will cost more. They are banking (literally) on the idea that the people who end up spending more will cover some of the cost of people who are going to spend less. Basically we get more purchase options while at the same time the company keeps making the same average amount of money. It's deviously brilliant.

You do realize more than new players will be playing this game right? Or that starter zones, ie Atlas, tend to have a number of people in them?

Quote:They should still offer the boosters, but at 800 points since 800 points = $10.00. I totally understand ala carte being more though. I just don't see the need for the removal of something that is already there.Originally Posted by Elric
"Buy the booster packs right now to save money, since things will be more expensive ala carte."
Does anyone else see a problem with this? I'm not trying to start an argument but, it seems silly that my money will not go as far as it used to for the same items. -
Due the brutes ability to taunt I just think the brute version of /fire is far superior versus being on a scrapper.

Quote:I haven't felt weak on my Ice/ice and I'm at 39. Certainly psy attacks give it issues and it does lose out in the war of IOs, but it I can't imagine adding IOs and Incarnate to it and feeling like I should have rolled something else.Originally Posted by Reppu
Is Ice Armor bad? No. But is it "amazing" or other claims people make in this thread? No. Like all Defense sets (not named Shield Defense), you'll feel weak until nearing the end of your career. and even then...
Ice does have one major thing going for it, that it and it's other stepchild-brother Dark Armor share! They're rare to see in the field. So, expect some awe for your persistence!
My first two tanks to 50 will be Dark and Ice tanks. -
