last time i checked we were 8th i think D (just behind those meddling Art Of War chappies )

and also Customer Support seemed to of been taken off the list, which tells me that CoT ARE infact an actual SG, but must of just farmed the Rikti Monkeys, because since the patch FIXED this bug, all the other SG's have been slowly closing in on the 2-3 at the top which were ridiculously high.

nice1 Dubbs, glad i was there to see the ding n help with the Sushi.

As some1 said on coalition a few days ago....

"Man if Double levels any faster he's gunna turn back time"

Hey guys, iv always been slightly worried that i wouldnt b able to write my own Form binds but when i got my first form i just had a little play around and made it quite simple really. I knew what i wanted to do so just had...

/bind n "powexec_name Dark Nova$$goto_tray 2"
/bind m "powexec_name Dark Nova%%goto_tray 1"

so N goes into Nova, M comes out of it (yes i know i cudv used the "toggle_on" bit but meh, it works like this too )
And then i just have all my attacking powers in the same positions in each tray, so bind like...

/bind f "powexec_slot 4"
/bind lalt "powexec_slot 5"

etc etc, and then just have to make sure my powers are in the right slots for each form

Dunno why iwrote this out, but hey, if ur like me and worried that u'll have to use macro's and load_bind_file etc, dont worry, its relatively easy

Shnyet AWAY

hey guys, FINALLY got my Khelds open so just a few quick questions.....

- Ive gone for a Warshade, so the first defense power is the "always on" one. does that mean it's always on in different forms too? hence ok to slot? (although i know from Tank experience that "always on" powers have lower figures than toggles).

- i have quite a large bind experience but doing this kheld seems to be testing me already.
What im after is the usual "change form, change tray, same key but for different power now" thingy, but wud prefer it if i didnt have to use bindfiles. Is there a way i can just bind a key to always fire the power in a particular slot, whichever tray im in?

- Any powers to avoid like the plague?

- Any powers to get.........like the cure to the plague?
(going tri-form btw prob)

Anyway that shud do for now. Toodleoo

Gratz Unity, glad we got to team a little towards the tail end of the 40's!

Nice1 Snowy, only got to team with said toon recently, but felt the safest i have in an 8-man team with a single Tank than i have in a long time!

Ah yes truly a gr8 day . and i dinged EXACTLY as i wanted, surrounded in Ranger pals (actually a 6 man all-blaster team) whooping a level 49 AV (Battle Maiden). Twas a sight to behold.

What now?

Glad u asked Doul, well seeing as though i'll b tryin out my new WS (Holy Shnyet) and have a few other pipeline alts iv been enjoying, i'll obviously b taking a backseat in the Rangers. Trust me though that i'll still b showing my face with Amazing and probably organising some of the tf's etc that iv missed (Hess and Eden especially).
Thus fearing the Rangers would have only one active Commander, iv followed suit from Doulos and elected my successor................DELUGE!

Congratz bud, the newest Commander of trhe Precision Rangers, im sure u'll really take us places...........(usually Siren's)

Thanks again for all the Gratz's in-game guys and for all the teaming the whole way thru (think its about 540 hours).

Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Shnyet AWAY

who, what ,where, why, when?

is that why my Nova has been missing so much?
Aim been nerfed?

Shnyet AWAY

Indeedio

Shnyet AWAY

Mr Nuke-tastic?

My money's on you being a blaster

If so give any of the Precision Rangers a buzz and we'll sort you out. We'r the Blaster SG of the 1AT coalition (group of SG's all of the same AT - so one SG for blasters, one for controllers etc) so coalition chat is usually quite busy.

Give either myself or Frozen Rogue a call in-game for any help u may need.

Shnyet AWAY

Unfortunate to say the least. Give him my best Terra. Ah the first ever rookie Ranger, seems so long ago..........*drifts into reminisce-land*

Gratz Doom - look me up if u need a team with ur khled or new proj.

It works something like this: Fire off attack, Flail arms around shouting "Come back", run after Foe until in range again, Repet until Foe either dead or you no longer can see your team.

As for boost range it's probably very useful for pure blasters but as an blapper I tend to keep in melee range anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmmm, sorry to point out put these 2 seperate paragraphs dont add up

You say you're a blapper......and yet you say ur always chasing the enemy? Energy melee doesnt have KB (unless you use Power Thrust), hence Power Boost would be a gr8 power for you, because it'd double the disorient time of all your blapping moves, making locking down even a boss childs play.

Or if you'r always "flailing your arms" get boost range and use one of those primaries

I htink im just biased towards the Energy secondary buff-liciousness.

Shnyet AWAY

bah, i cant make it on tonight but if you're still going tomorrow i might just catch ya! had gr8 fun with you and pretty much every1 who's posted here on Sunday so if i get on i'll give ya a shout!

Shnyet AWAY

Hey guys, either my laptop is luring me into a false sense of security or its actually working again! had a good weekend of play and when there was no hero work going i went over to the darkside and had a lil 20 minute session with my Crazy 8 participant. Even got in a pretty decent team! shame it was cut short cos i was loving it!
Neway, i hit 10. I know im a bit behind but thoroughly intend on catchin up the levels. i see that 3 of u r on 18 and the rest a little bit lower than that. This would've felt like a much more arduous task had i not just had that fun lil session, it's made me wanna play my Stalker a lot more.
So fingers crossed, count me back in!

Shnyet AWAY

Nice numbers Bolt, iv always wondered, whats the downtime on FoN? all blappers take note of a good looking build.
This a pure PvE build Bolt? just the lack of ToHit in Aim and single slotted Acc. Maybe some inter-red in Snipe too

Shnyet AWAY

few things iv noticed.....

[ QUOTE ]
Melee, Power Punch I got rid of but may go back & up it with Knock Back

[/ QUOTE ]

1 - if you mean Energy Punch the KB would be pretty useless here, slot it for 3 dmg, 1 or 2 acc, and a disorient or endurance reduction and u'll out damage your Power Blast easily.

[ QUOTE ]

The heavy punch (can't remember it's name) & Total Focus is a must.


[/ QUOTE ]

2 - The heavy punch is Bonesmasher and i agree wholeheartedly that both total focus and BS are nice in a melee chain.

[ QUOTE ]

The first little punch you get has low dmg output BUT is cool for knocking back annoying/swarming villians, this may be traded if I can find another power that does the same & recharges as quick.


[/ QUOTE ]

3 - u'll be hardpushed to get rid of this power seeing as though it's the very firet in your secondary and hence forth forced to take it ALTHOUGH there IS a better alternative in your Primary, pick up Power Push, it recharges just as fast, pushes then just as far (if not further) and is a has the range of your power blast!

[ QUOTE ]

The other powers, Build Up, Aim etc, I haven't played with yet, the write ups never leapt out at me. (Conserve Power b4 I knew about Stamina did tho), so I'll have to try them on the Test Server perhaps...


[/ QUOTE ]

4 - I think every blaster on Union and Defiant would agree on me professing my love for Buildup and Aim! These are pretty much THE powers in our sets. 5 seconds of extra damage doesnt sound like much, but with hasten and 3recred you can pretty much have it up every 20-30 seconds IIRC, and trust me ADDING 3 SO's WORTH OF DMG ISN'T SNEEZED AT.
If you like your Nova WITHOUT these buffs, oh my god you'll combust when u use it WITH them. i can comfortably annihilate 15 +2's in one shot of my nuke......

Oh and i can use Conserve Power to fully support my Endurance so dont need the Fitness Pool sets

[ QUOTE ]

Took the Leadership pool, really handy buffs but it was chosen originally to suit my character build.


[/ QUOTE ]

5 - Yeah i've seen some blasters take these to aid Acc with Aim, but can be total Endurance hogs if not slotted very heavily. Be warned that blasters get less of a buff to these attributes than for eg a defender would.

Other advice i could add is look very hard at your secondary set, it's delicious. Try and take EVERY single buff, they'll ALL help. See the thread on PowerBoost and Boost Range for my comments on those excellent powers.

Hope that helped - just PM me for anything else you might need to know..............or just post it here obv

Shnyet AWAY

Powerboost is a gr8 power, doubles the effects of all your secondaries, so if you use your energy melee's it'll double the disorient duration, or double the ACC buff of Aim and Buildup, double your flight or run speed, double your Knockback distance etc etc.

Boost Range i believe is essential for an Energy blaster, it's pretty much perma str8 out of the box with a RECRED in the free slot and u'll definately see the difference, you'll be able to use Power Blast at the distance Snipe can hit so can easily drop something before i gets in range of you. Very useful on outdoor maps.
