Acemace

Castle's view of war mace was that it would stand out as an aoe weapon set, which is why CC's max targets were increased from 5 to 10 on 12/2/08 (shatters m/t cone was reduced from 10 to 5 to balance -note just looked up and noticed Find pointed that out earlier-).

The 8th and 9th tier attacks for axe have always done more damage then the mace equivalents, Shatter 101.43 - rech 12s
Cleave 122.79 - rech 15s, Crowd Control 71.63 - rech 12s
Pendulum 84.53 - rech 15s, respectively.

The rest of the two sets are virtually identical, aside for clobber which had it's damage scale increased to 2.29 and it's base endurance cost pushed to 15.18 to compensate.
It also had it's duration of stun reduced from scale 10 to 5, while swoop still has a 70% knockup chance, which makes it a more reliable damage mitigator.

Axe does slightly more st damage over mace, and nearly all attacks do some form of k/d, which tend to be more reliable as damage mitigation than mace's disorients, and war mace has a moderate edge in number of aoe/cone attacks over axe, which makes both of them pretty balanced as is imo.

I'm speechless.. the beauty is overwhelming.

Accolades and purple io bonuses were modified to bypass the examp check, something could be done for Dynamic Respecs.

That might break the game, or rip the fabric of space-time.

Neat.

I will find the nearest Arena 2.0 building, fight through the crowds and enjoy this GA entertainment.

Hell if Pong held WoW's numbers over 5 years there'd be no reason to remake that.

It's not remotely relevant to bring WoW's numbers into a discussion about CoX (and it's age). If WoW could only maintain CoX's numbers for example, it'd be shut down.

There's a rumor the Rough Riders are looking for you Myr. Something about PL trades you never paid back from 05.

Because Tankers have the best damn monthly event in the history of CoX, and scrappers aren't invited.

Tomorrow.

some info for those not familiar w/ TT,

has a rich history as an elite player created event, including holding the title for the longest continuously run monthly event in CoH history!


This coming October 6th, after sixty consecutive months, Tanker Tuesday will be passing another unprecedented milestone in City of Heroes, it's five year anniversary!



Some of the events planned (NetMinder):




For those unfamiliar with the event, Tanker Tuesday was awarded the City of Heroes 2nd Annual Player’s Choice Award for Favorite Event!

And back in 2007 the Tanker Tuesday three year anniversary event drew over 400 Tanks plus Developers!




The regular longtime organizers want to invite everyone for a night of "Total Tanker Teamage", so bring your Tanker levels 1 through 50 for some Tanking fun, this:

A lot of players are right there with you, I want to add the new heal for ElecArmor on my brute, but I don't have the time now to take screeenies of multiple identical sets, which powers got the procs etc, etc.

Bill mentioned Mids earlier, maybe that's spoiled us, but the current means of respecing is needlessly time consuming if you have 99.99% of your build just the way you want it, and only want to make a small change.

Someone sent me a pm telling me they liked the idea and to keep pushing it, so I'm going to keep bumping it for the heck of it until Going Rogue is ready to ship and we know it will be in there, or it wont.

Feel free to bump it too if it tickles your fancy.
