While there is an unlimited amount of anything in the game in theory, due to the way things drop, its not always unlimited. If it was unlimited then prices in WW would be a lot lower then they are now.

My arguement is for personal (as in not requiring even a solo SG) storage for enhancements and recipes. Especially recipes.

While you can make a solo SG, its only for 1 character, unless you invite someone else into your SG to invite your alts, OR you have a secondary account, and even then you only have storage for crafted enhancements, or salvage, none for recipes.

And where have the dev's said the storage we have it enough?

Yes. Basically you lead with any hard control you have up (confuse, hold, stun, etc) then head into melee and pound some face. In the event your hard control isn't up, you can kite/pull with your ranged attacks, and get mobs into melee range, then pound on their face

Really depends on your recharge. If you have the recharge where you have single target attacks up often enough where you can keep shooting at the EB/GM/AV, then use those first. If you don't, HoB makes a good filler, due to its longer animation time and high damage.

But they aren't being produced anymore. Sooner or later Base Salvage and Components won't exist anymore. Invention Salvage is being produced, and the racks used to not be able to hold them at all, thats where I'm getting the idea from.

We went from 0 base storage for invention salvage to 30 per rack of storage for invention salvage.

30 > 0. Atlest last i checked.

There's a pretty big difference between 'held' and 'stored'.

Yes, each character can hold 10 enhancements, 20-ish recipes (at level 50) 85 salvage (at level 50, with all the crafting badges, and the vanguard bonus and the 66 month vet reward)

And with base storage, you can hold more, more personally, you can only 'store' 50 salvage. Anything held is taking up space for drops, and with limited 'storage' options on wentworths (yes, you can 'store' 10 of the same recipes, but what about multiple levels? then 1 slot is taken up by 1 recipe) salvage stacks up to 10, but then you can't sell anything due to storage.

I'm sorry if i don't want to use gleemail to send 1 item at a time between my characters, especially when its not the most stable form of 'storage' we've been given.

What your basically telling me is to use my character slots for 'storage' characters, because that's what the devs want us to do? Limit our own drops by 'holding' the maximum amount of items?

I've been using the vault storage as a means to hold any salvage i get in a certain level range, so that when i get a recipe i don't have to spend any money on salvage, but due to the limitations on storage, I can't even store every piece of salvage from a certain level range (all common, all uncommon, all rare)

That's where the problems lies, if you play characters, you want drops, and if your 'holding' the maximum number of items, you don't get anymore drops.

Thing is, those are numbers for level 50s, and if you have 144-396 level 50s, you have nothing left to store.

But for a level 20, you have a fraction of those slots, and no way to store them. your just holding them, which means you can't get anymore once you fill up.

I'm pretty sure this has been suggested before, but while playing all my alts and such, I've been running into this problem more and more. I just run out of space.

You can only store 50 salvage in the vault, but 0 enhancements, and 0 recipes, and the only way to store enhancements is via a base storage container, which if your not in a solo base, means your at risk for people to take it.

And you still can't store recipes anymore

So I'm proposing an extension on the vault. Currently its holding 50 salvage, so why not extend it (via tabs) to include storage for recipes, and enhancements. That way if you run out of room in recipes, you can craft enhancements and store those instead (plus some items are worth more as enhancements then they are as recipes)

What do you guys think? Something like 1 storage slot every 2 levels, with the ability to earn more via crafting badges (or something like that) So that at level 50, you have 50 salvage, 25 recipes, 25 enhancement, and maybe allowing badges to up to to 30/30 or 35/35, that way you can store more per character.

Drop fighting, grab leadership, problem solved

For a /FF repair would be the better choice honestly. What damage does get through your defense, that your protector bots won't heal up on their own, you can use repair on. Even with a base slot (1 rech) Its up often enough to help out a lot in conjunction with the protector bot heals.

except for the level you can slot them.

Esepecially with a envemoned dagger. He splits, throw a dagger at him, then go nuke the clone, then pound on him. even with a low damage toon, the added DPS of dagger (it does toxic damage, and hits pretty hard on its own) plus the -regen will really help out, and its super cheap on the market.

The problem lies in that fact that your proc doesn't work the way you think it does.

Bonfire summons a psuedo pet, which does the Aoe knockback. Pets are unaffected by recharge, and psuedo pets even more. So basically the only time your proc has a 10% chance to go off, is when you cast the power.

While my procs on the other hand (mainly the -res) has a 20% chance every attack to go off. each acid mortar shoots 10 mortars, within its 1 minute life span, so every fifth attack triggers the proc. And as the proc doesn't stack with itself, the duration is just refreshed, so its basically perma.

The -tohit proc in seeker drones doesn't work, and if you notice, i didn't count it anywhere in my math, it was all straight debuff values. You slotted your seeker drones for stun duration, while i slotted mine for tohit debuff.

You do realize that you (the mastermind) has a lower threat mod then your pets, and the same threat mod as any squishy AT. So using fireball for aggro isn't going to help your cause unless you pets are not attacking (merely look up how threat is calculated and it will explain it for you)

Name a proc i've mentioned that only has a chance to go off on power activation? My damage proc in my rifle burst? well, yes, but the recharge is under 4 seconds, so thats pretty much as much as possible, and the chance is 33%, i've already gone over the acid mortar proc, and hold proc in my electric fenses is also 33%, and the recharge on that is under 5 seconds. My Pancea proc and performance shift procs have a chance to go off every 10 seconds, while i'm idle, doing nothing.

I'd like to see your pylon DPS values, heck lets even compare them, as the last time i ran mine i managed 344DPS.

I have no +rech procs, so all my recharge is based on actual global bonuses, or up time of hasten, so all my debuffs, while also hitting for more values then yours, are up for often as well, i don't have to resummon a AoE knockback power for a chance of higher recharge, i just have higher recharge naturally.

So again, while i did spend billions for billions sake, the increased durability and performance far out weighs that your build can do.

And i'd like to see a video of you soloing 0/8 without your pets. Heck, lets goto test, and each run a mission together, each not using our pets, and each taking on the same size groups. See who performs better, side by side.

What did you tell me about relying on procs? oh yeah

Am i the only one that immobilizes BM and then has a rotation cycle set up so that the melee goes from smacking her face, to shooting her with range attacks, and the orbital lances become pretty much a simple thing to avoid entirely? everyone has their corner of the map, and everyone converges on BM until she nukes herself, then everyone goes back to their corner of the map (rotating corners depending on who gets a nuke dropped on them) then converging back on BM..

It worked wonders on my /traps as poison trap is pretty much a melee debuff, and my /traps can immobilize her pretty easily on her own.
