So I've been doing SFs and my Fortunata finally got 200+ merits and bought Chance for Negative Proc from the Accurate Tohit Debuff set (Cloud Sense). This is such a Painful purchase as I did so many SFs just to get one recipe I want below lvl 30. I didn't buy it from the market because it was either not for sale or over 70-80mils.


Anyway, I put it on Lich and did some testing. I LOVE IT! Normally a low damage proc at 20% isn't a big deal but since Lich doesn't have many heavy attacks to begin with, each Proc feels like a Critical damage because his heaviest attack is just Dark Blast. The proc damage is actually a bit higher than dark blast because Lich is a "boss".

So those of you who is a huge fan of Necro, try to put that proc in Lich. I think it's worth it because it feels like Lich has 20% to critical on everything but the single Hold.

Those players who stayed in the low level zones and built for them for the most part with slotting and building that gave them an advantage there. I predict tanks getting their tier 9s in sirens will be the most complained about point. It would have been blasters having their nukes there if this was still pvp 1.0.

I was hoping that using the Scorpion Shield, Hover, Tough (Steadfast +3%) and Weave, I could pick up a good amount of S/L/E defense and then hopefully soft-cap Ranged Def. Then with liberal use of LotGs and set bonuses, pick up enough extra defense and recharge to really get things going. I was hoping for Perma-Dom but I don't see being able to fit Hasten in or getting enough recharge to accomplish it with also getting the good numbers in defense. Anyone play around with a similar concept? How'd you do?

I enjoy the raids, as they create a sense of accomplishing something that the game lacks otherwise. I mean, I can stand on a corner and beat the living snot out of thousands of Hellions or Council, and it makes no impact on them whatsoever. Even so, I think the raids could and should be reviewed.

The gist is that the Rikti should have OBJECTIVES. That is, they're invading, so what are they trying to accomplish?

I'd do it like this.

First, when the raid is first announced, three targets would spawn in each zone. They might be different from zone to zone, but the idea is that the Rikti are going to attempt to destroy these targets. I'll use Atlas Park as an example.

The sirens sound, and a military bunker spawns at City Hall. A couple of minutes later, the ships start flying in, dropping bombs. At the same time, ground troops will start entering from the gates. Both the ships and troops start moving toward the objectives. It will now be up to the heroes to stop them from destroying the objectives.

Note that this would require making the ships MUCH more assailable. No stronger than Elite Bosses, it would need to be possible (though difficult) for a solo hero to destroy one. They should move around the speed of unslotted hover. Their beam weapons should be much less powerful but the bombs should do actual DAMAGE, and lots of it.

If the heroes stop the Rikti, the raid ends. If they fail, and the three objectives are destroyed, Atlas becomes flagged as a war zone, and Rikti troops will begin beaming in as they do now.

When this happens, the Rikti will move into one of the adjacent zones (eg. Steel Canyon) and a new battle with three objectives will begin THERE. This move from zone to zone will continue until the Rikti are stopped. Zones "captured" by the Rikti would remain in warzone mode until the Rikti are stopped.


Signature heroes in the zones should become active and participate in the fighting. For example, when Atlas Park is attacked, Ms. Liberty would help the fighting if Rikti troops come in range of her.

As an aside, consider that this would spread heroes and Rikti out as there would be at least three forces plus ships to fight, which would reduce the apalling lag we get now.


If the entire city is captured, I'm not sure what to do. It would be highly unlikely, but you never know. I'm open to suggestion here.


What do you think?

I'd think that unless you had a /Kin corr duct-taped to your side all the time, you'd need heavy duty endurance slotting and Power Sink to stay afloat, but once we get some real numbers it'd be interesting to see if I could get by with Dark Consumption instead (for Soul Drain nastiness).
