    While I'm aware that you don't get 'crit-Hide' status from using Smoke Flash, is it supposed to be aggroing a mob that hasn't even seen you yet?

    Example: I'm in Hide and come upon a spawn of critters. I throw down Smoke Flash (thinking that it should do the same thing as Fire 'Trollers Smoke; instead, Hide drops, the spawn attacks me briefly and then goes into Placate mode.

    Is this WAI?

    Well, there's already quite a bit on the Markets; going at about PvP IO prices 50mil-200mil+

    Got 3 of the procs for less than 400mil inf

    For me, no. Especially being that I have a mild case of altitis.

    That's 150,000,000 per set plus either (330+ Astrals, 2400+ Reward Merits, or a ton of points/cash at the PMarket) or whatever the going market rate will be for these.

    If you have those kind of resources, then I'm better off leaving that kind of speculation to what your needs dictate.

    Stalker proc: definitely
    Brute proc: maybe
    Scrapper proc: maybe
    Dominator proc: probably better off slotting for more damage
    Tanker: Yes
    Defender proc: IMO, yes (much better than the Entropic Chaos proc)
    SoA proc: yes
    Kheld proc: yes
    MM proc: IMO, no (compared to what you'd invest on other pet positional defense Uniques)

    2.) Its because they're girls, duh

    3.) Because males have ulterior motives

    4.) You think that pile of M&Ms in front of the guy are actually his

    Brute ATO Proc?

    POST-ACTION

    How, exactly, does the Brute ATO proc work:

    Is the Fury Bonus only from the power its slotted in (PWiki says all powers)?

    Does it activate the same way normal Fury does in AoE powers (ie per activation as opposed to per target hit)?

    Will this finally allow Damage Auras to generate Fury?

    If slotted into a pet power, will it generate fury for the user or get wasted on the pet?

    All I've been saving my freebie points for are powersets and bits of costume sets.

    I may be using my freebie points on the packs for the ATOs instead (I don't need a whole set of ATOs; just 1 or two that I can convert in-game to ATO procs) and adding a 20-spot to my account to cover the 'oh so slow' release of what I'd rather throw a few bones at.

    If I get costume pieces and pets along the way; cool... but they're not make or break for me.

    Well, heck, I won't even have to do that (although I've already eaten through this month's allotment); I can get them at the Merit Vendor (and elsewhere, apparently).

    ...great, now somebody's gotta get the cleaning wipes out...


    Great news!


    Now... about those holsters.


    And any chance of the wide-brimmed Renegade Hats getting ported over?

    If you can afford it, Spell's build is probably best, especially since you'll get some def, resists and healing from the rest of your team.

    I hate to be disabled as a controller (I'm supposed to disable you, not the other way around) so I always slot for at least on KB reduction (in superspeed, in tough, in weave, in mist, ... lots of possibilities to pick from ). That's also one reason I care for defense more than some (although at 50 I take clarion and forget about mezzers)
    The FF proc in Gale is very reliable for me; AoE check for proccing. Even if I can only get it up once a minute; that still averages out to around +20% recharge when broken down over time (but I never have that much of a drought ). [Also, I know that many think Gale is a meh power but certain procs are gold and Interface selection makes it somewhat more viable for constant use.]

    I also use Force of Nature and alternate in and out of Ageless Destiny; debating on whether to go Agility on the Alpha or not (currently Cardiac).

    I can get up to 3 Thunderstorms out on a good roll and I have the option of alternating Creepers, Vines and Seeds as openers. [Plus I went the Cognitive route for Interface.]

    I rarely try to factor in Purples too much on builds but if one can afford it... go for it.

    I've planned about 3+ builds for this combo.

    Skip Thunderclap unless you're going to back it up with Earth Mastery.

    Snowstorm is a toss-up; keep it if you can manage your Endurance well AND you can get someone to take Alpha/hold aggro for you.

    Don't worry about O2; you're not a healer by any stretch of the imagination... you're a Control and Damage beast! Spirit Tree may get in the way sometimes but a 275% Regen buff is great for a high HP-based team (or League)

    Maneuvers is a good LoTG mule.

    I'm still undecided about Hurricane (nice debuffs... except when the targets keep getting Repelled or KBed out of your (and everyone else's) 'zones'.

    At one time, I would've been all for new zones but after watching red-side's and Praetoria's lack of population numbers found on blue-side; not so much.

    At this point, I want to see them use their tech (like phasing, variant dialogue, etc) to consolidate the faction maps (one world map as opposed to three). Utilizing a lot of what was done in Praetoria, with keeping opposing factions on the same world map, could work on the whole of Primal as well. (All of this so that players don't have to resort to Alignment switching to have the whole map open to them)

    I do agree that the game can decrease its monotony by periodically releasing more instanced maps:

    Full hospital maps (with elevators, cafeterias, etc - mod one of the larger office maps if they have to)
    Partial and full shopping mall maps (both 1 story and mega mall style)
    More factories (auto makers, faction factories (Sky Raider, Arachnos, Crey etc))
    School campuses (college and high school)
    Movie-plexes
    Amusement parks
    etc

    then add variants to the above

    Shoot, even using the Holiday events as an excuse to bring out more variants would be interesting (expand the ice on the lake tech to both world and other instanced maps; Halloween up the standard indoor maps; give some christmas or valentines decor to office maps, etc)

    I'm primarily looking at /Earth and /Energy:

    Both have Power Boost and both can slot multiple Force Feedback procs (more +rech; yay!)

    I'm leaning more towards Earth though (more AoE and AoE application of FF procs)

    I understand what you said. It was a factual error. At the very absolute most minimal level, it is a problem they share with Stalkers. In fact, if we're going to go riffling through all their powers, even ones builds don't often prioritize, Scrappers have at least one tool for stopping Runners that Stalkers don't - confront. It also dawns on me with this post that Stalkers have exactly zero taunt auras, making it pretty clear to me that they are the ones least equipped to deal with runners.

    Seriously? You're going to suggest that multiple builds factors into this? Wow, dude, talk about reaching. I'm going to concede the general point on Banes, but either you don't play a melee Widow or you have very strange definition of what a "ranged arsenal" means if you think a Night Widow spec character has tools that help a lot with runners. I compare it directly to what my Scrappers with epic ranged attacks get.

    If you think terror keeps mobs who are debuffed or on fire from running, I question how much you ever use any terrorizing power. And Placate keeps one mob in place until you attack it. News flash - nothing runs until you use powers on them that cause them to run. Placate factors into that absolutely not at all, since it is canceled as soon as such a power affects them.

    Do you even play a Stalker?
    I don't play a lot of Stalkers; however, the ones I'm soloing have less issues with runners than my Scrappers.

    What's happening with my Stalkers is I'm 1 to 2-shotting the hard target and utilizing any Demoralize to ST the softer targets. I'm not AoEing the whole spawn or setting anyone on fire; my spawns aren't usually getting the chance to run from me, en masse. I consider Placate a 'guaranteed critical' and depending on the follow-up attack (and the runner); that's an awesome way to stop a runner.

    The newer setup is allowing me to up my Crits while STing; so the process gets even better at times.

    I haven't gotten my rhythm down on the Stalker ATIO but I notice the Crit bump there as well.


    (Although I prefer my Fortunata build) I've alternated between two and three ranged attacks on my Night Widow build precisely to catch runners in the back. I also use runners to my advantage (for both my NW and Stalkers) to slip back into Hidden-for-Crit mode.

    Another thing about Widows is the -SPD that most of their attacks have. Yes, even on my NWs, I get a control tool.


    And I have seen street-sweep spawns that have at least one runner, damaged or otherwise (Family in Cap, Atlas Park spawns, etc), that would bug out almost immediately after combat starts. Many times.

    Neither Placate or Demoralize does anything to stop fleeing mobs. And heck, if you want to get into Scrapper powers in the Placate spot, Scrappers get an actual Taunt in Confront, that trumps any runner-stopping tools Stalkers get. (Widows can get it too, oddly.)

    And if you build a Night Widow instead of a Fortunate, you get a grand total of three ranged a attacks (Mental Blast, Poison Dart and Dart Burst). Very few people worried about DPS take all of those, and some take none, taking a Patron or Epic Pool ranged attack (Gloom!) instead. Which, of course, all Scrappers (and Stalkers) can do as well, though they don't get the wonderful DPA of Gloom.

    Give it up. This is not a Scrapper-specific problem. That claim was silly.
    You're right, runners are not a Scrapper specific problem but that's not what I said.

    Runners do present issues for all AT types; Scrappers are the AT that's least equipped to prevent in from happening or deal with it when it does. And in certain scenarios (like solo play, where a player has to run down a hard target); it can decrease DPS. I don't see the difficulty in understanding that concept. Or the need to over inflate a simple point.

    I shouldn't even have to debate the issue over the ATs you suggested but it was your counterpoint; so I went with it:


    Having access to multi-builds; coupled with the flexibility of VEATs... unless a player chooses to pigeon-hole himself into one specific build, VEATS are a poor choice of comparison point.

    Even if we wanted to go that (now whittled down to one branch) route, two ranged attacks and two ranged AoE (excluding Patrons) are better than one or none; its the difference between being able to take out a running target (or an entire fleeing mob) with minimal contact from other mobs, chasing the target(s) down into other mobs or waiting it out until the straggler(s) returns to the spawn point.

    Demoralize and Placate keep mobs from running in the first place. Demoralize is also an AoE (much better than a ST taunt, IMO).


    Scrappers (generally speaking) are the player version of Fire Imps.

    The initial claim remains invalid.
    Widows [have] both range and control options; either branch.

    SoA has control, pets, ranged and ranged AoE attacks; either branch. Plus Placate.

    Stalkers have Placate and Demoralize.

    Spines is not an AT and is not representative of an entire AT

    It's idiotic when a GM runs from you when you put a debuff or DoT on them, even though it would take you 15 minutes of bashing on them to defeat them, if you even could.

    They don't just run from Scrappers. They run from everyone who can DoT or debuff them, who flies, who has high defense, or any combination of these things.
    This is part of what I was touching on with comments made elsewhere. Scrappers, IMO, are the only player-predators that have to run down their meals (without the benefit of a ranged arsenal). It, sometimes, literally takes someone else holding them in place (through aggro or controls) to allow Scrappers their full DPS.

    I forgot to copy over the Temps and/or Accolades on a build or two... but they should be taken itno consideration.

    Thanks in advance for opinions, suggestions and critiques
