A damage aura.

In my case, Rise of the Phoenix is a push power - if I'm hurting for slots, but not for power choices, into the build it goes. But socketing it seems like madness.

Alas, 68.8% is just shy of permadom.
OP, I was going to help you, then I saw your sig. -
I do wish to also note, you could try building the character, levelling them to 50, then when going rogue hits, take them blueside and try and use the (comparatively) stronger market there to IO them out.

I wouldn't call that a nerf, I'd call it an improvement. -
Idle thought, how much impact does this have to defender damage before enhancement? Ie, before level 22, is the defender outperforming the corruptor?
-
I approve this event or service and am in no way being paid to say as much.

Here.
Same power picks barring the 41+ses, 33% S/L defence with only two toggles running, 15% global recharge and a ton of room for The Good Stuff that gets you permadom. Much more flexible. -
Quote:I'm reasonably certain that if my thesis about skill-based mechanics mattered, you'd know it without my having to repeat it, so I'm just going to use this line of yours to underscore that yes, I think this is how it should be, and to further point out with your level of experience and focus, what is easy for you is not necessarily easy for others.
It's all about finding a balance. -

Quote:Almost as if the game is not, in fact, all about speed and efficiency.Originally Posted by macskull
I would take a damage reduction on ET if its activation time could be reduced to something like 1.5 or 1.67 seconds (still more than the 1 second it used to be, but), because having your two heavy hitters be really long-animating powers in a game that's all about speed and efficiency seems counterproductive.
A lot of people are making statements that make assumptions about the game, and drawing from those assumptions, indicate that leaving Energy as it has been left for a year, and indeed, the change in the first place, is the result of feverish imagination, and to change it back or buff it otherwise would be a simple and obvious conclusion. I wish to suggest to all of you that perhaps the developers don't agree with your assumptions. -

[I]All I am saying is after 5 years it would really be nice if AR when coupled with Device could be a viable spec.
It's viable. I know it's viable. I know a 50 AR/Dev. Someone got one to 50. And she wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer when she got it to 50. They're playable, they're robust, they blast.
So you're going to have to use a different term to 'viable.' You're going to have to come up with an actual problem. Just because AR/Dev doesn't do what you want doesn't mean its' not doing its own job. -
Quote:I am against bad arguments. I don't necessarily think AR/Dev is bad, nor do I think it's amazing. I don't think you're wrong. I think your methods of proving yourself right to the audience are bad. You are not communicating very clearly, and you use hyperbolic statements to put virtual weight behind your words, weight that isn't actually there.Originally Posted by plainguy
I'm sorry if I just don't get where your coming from ?
So I guess that's where I'm coming from. -
*makes sanctifying gesture* You are forgiven. We all say things in beta stages that we don't really mean.

Quote:Mez protection is one of those things that makes you arrogant. You don't think you're using it until you have to go without.Originally Posted by GavinRuneblade
So, with the not-that-recent-anymore patch that gave us our damage all the time, what is the advantage of domination anyway? Just the extra mez strength on primary abilities, mez resist, and the free endurance refill? Or am I missing something?

I am not the Amazing Kreskin or anything. I can only go by what I see. You either have to take my comments about being asked to get another toon as fact or Just call me a liar. What lying would get me I have no clue.. I get no brownie or rep points for exaggerating the truth.

I on the other hand, think that of all the dominators who can afford to not worry about permadom, the mind dominator leads the charge. He can already sleep a single AV with mesmerize; in the LRSF, under domination, fire off a Mass Hypnosis, then re-layer with Mesmerize.
Course, there are probably ways to have both. -
Quote:If he didn't, it means his statement that it was a direct attack from the devs to him a bit weird.Originally Posted by Nihilii
Coming from someone who constantly brags about taking down AV/GMs with -regen alts. Ok dude, I'm sure the original vision for the game was that clicking one power every 30 seconds should completely flatline the regeneration of the toughest foes ingame, heh. I'm sure you didn't abuse the BoTZ sets on any of your alts to softcap ranged defense either, right ?

All I am saying is after 5 years it would really be nice if AR when coupled with Device could be a viable spec. Regardless of what the numbers show, the whole set combined is just not group friendly.
-
Not a set, not a bonus; the Theft of Essence, Chance for +Endurance proc. With that in Dark Regeneration, firing it off in a cloud of five guys more-or-less guarantees knocking 10 points off the rather massive cost of Dark Regen.
That right there smooths a lot of issues. -
Quote:I'd love to see that happen, but unfortunately, I have no memory of this. Anyone else able to comment?Originally Posted by Biospark
Didn't Castle (or BaB maybe) say not long ago that they had a potential fix that would eliminate redraw? Just curious, really. I remember reading it, then nothing more about it since.
-
It just occurred to me that most of the 'natural' powersets have powers that generate redraw.
-
As an idle question, presuming such a powerset existed, if it didn't have Build Up, but instead had a toggle akin to, say, rage; would you tolerate it?
-
Nah. It'll check if it can fire, then do the animation. And it doesn't start recharging until after the animation's fired.
-
This may seem an odd opinion, but have you considered shooting for 32.5% instead of 40%?
32.5 puts you one purple shield from the soft-cap, and means that any ally who buffs defences isn't wasting their time; the softcap is great, but to get so close and not reach it seems to me a sure sign to turn around and instead ratchet it back to a more attainable goal, and use the resources spent on it in another fashion.
