Sure, hence why I ridiculed him. Same as I would if he'd complained about his farm being shut down. The devs put the information there, it's at the top of the page; what more do you want?

In particular, one person who has a very, very low tolerance for people who will stand in front of a sign saying 'THIS WAY TO THE EXIT' who then cry to the room that they don't know how to find the exit.

WITCHES I say. WITCHES.

About as popular as it is.

The majority of players don't notice long cast times, or care. I listened to someone talking about her rationale for keeping Total Focus was because it was great for pulling aggro. On her blaster.

Even if you could prove a plurality of support, popularity is still not a good measure for the balance of a powerset.

If you fire your nuke and, while it's animating, jam on a blue, your end bar will creep down, but not hit zero, before the blue's endurance 'arrives.' Practical upshot is that you can 'restock' without toggling down.

I've done it on my fire/fire blaster; he of course has Consume to top up with that small dish of endurance when he moves on to the next spawn.

You don't know me being snide, kid.

Hey, here's a fantastic idea! Why don't you look at the stickies at the top of this whole forum page and learn anything about anything before you come in here whining that things are too expensive and therefore, cannot be purchased at all. Is that unreasonable?

I haven't seen a single resistance-socketing comment in those powers since Issue 9.

No, you just need to pay 25mil or more.

You can't make 25mil or more?

Well, I guess nobody can. I guess the market is just fuelled by witches.

It's especially damning considering how the lack of Cathedral of Pain was the death of the game. Real shame the whole game withered and died on the vine in 2007.

And the dead never change.

Solution 1... sure. I'm pretty much jaded to any ifs-ands-or-buts excuses on farms at this point. Quite frankly, I'd rather drive away people too stupid to read the in-game information about what not to do than put up with the pox of clamouring whiners we have who are so insensitive about their story that the diminishment of XP earning directly translate to a complete failure of the whole system.

Solution 2. I like this idea a lot, especially since right now, the granulised system is really bad and awkward for review purposes. What makes an arc 5 star for me might not make it a 5 star for someone else. All we have at this point is a system which blitheringly tries to quantify 'liked it' and 'disliked it,' and handles it badly.

Solution 3. Farms get run a lot. :\

The issue is a little more nuanced than that.

Yes, they could make it fire off on you, but then it wouldn't be able to know if you killed the guy or not. Yes, they want to make sure that the guy doesn't die before the demoralize fires. Why?

Because you don't need help soloing when you can one-shot kill dudes. The demoralize effect is for when you're punching above your weight, taking on bosses in group environments. That demoralize effect is an AOE debuff that other people can capitalize on better than you.

(Cute trick? If you do kill an enemy who rezzes afterwards, the first thing they do will be to fire off the fear. Which is even funnier, because then they fear themselves as well.)

As opposed to the shield showoffs who take a set already quite good for def, resistance, and bonus HP, and then push it a little further to get massive defence.

This video highlights strengths unique to dark armour - the end drain protection and the amazing heal, for example - and shows what you can do with Dark Armour if you choose to build it to these strengths.

He's fighting inflation, one enormously ridiculous geseture at a time.

Apropos of nothing, if you dig on Cloak of Fear, on a brute, it's mag 3.
