  1. To respond to the original point, I've been wishing for a precognition-based defender primary set for quite some time. It would almost definitely have to have some sort of team defense buff (think mind link along with +tohit or possibly def/mez like foresight?), and there are plenty of powers in the theme already here and there in the game from widows, forts, or those seer mobs from Praetoria (I can't think of their names atm, too tired). Shoot, I'd be happy just to play a mashup of already existing themed precognition powers.

    Other existing powers would only have to be slightly changed to fit the theme; surveillance is one that comes to mind. Change the help text on that one to something like "Your insight into the future brings you knowledge of the enemy's weaknesses," and bam, -res and/or -def debuff. I think it'd be a thematically easy buff/debuff set to write up, and I would more than welcome more options for a versatile defense buffing defender set other than cold cold cold or cold.

    *Edit* I also like the idea of an earth-based set for the same reasons, also has potential to be a solid defense-buffing support class, which is a plus in my book. I would love an Earth's embrace style more as a buff (Yes I know about Frostwork, why is it the only buff power that does what it does?). And for cold fanboys that want Frostwork to stay unique, one could easily give Earth a longer recharge, smaller aoe team buff rather than just +max hp.

    Purple

    All of the above, and farm moar demons and/or council. Or tip missions or whatever, at -1 x8, and stash every purple that drops. I usually only have to buy two or three purples when I slot because I've saved enough otherwise.

    I hate people like that.

    Try playing Blueside, you'll find that people actually play there! And run TFs!

    Because I don't see a lot of new people around, especially not on the forums when they're new, and ESPECIALLY not with proper spelling and sentence structure. Welcome welcome!

    *edit*
    Also good practice is to refer to people's names without the underscores (names have to be at least 5 characters long for forums, I think it was), so just call me Ryxx. Flux has a similar story, and there are others as well with short names.
    And Elegost and I are not the same person, no matter what anyone tells you.

    You guys give me hope for the future.
  7. But would an auto-hold affect an untouchable target? I don't know because I don't know the specifics of the power they use. Someone should try Phase shift to test.
  8. Quote:
    • Nightstar has the ability to sequester her target. Her current target is issued two warnings that they are about to be sequestered, before the third warning locks down the target and all who are nearby. The only way to prevent this is for someone else to draw her attention!
    Quote:
    • Like Nightstar, [Siege] also has the ability to sequester his target.
    I wonder if hibernate makes this fail automatically. If her power works anything like dimension shift, then it should fail on all targets if the primary target is untouchable; am I right?

    ...

    ...

    If Ice tanks become a staple of Incarnate trials, I will defecate bricks.


    Otherwise, I cannot wait to start running these
  9. Running lower level TFs for incarnates during which your incarnate stuff will be locked? I doubt it.
  10. Eager to see the discussion of the strike pack after Ele told me about it, I rushed home to check the forums for Mental's post, only to be disappointed. We've had some posts in our forum, but no official thread? Sadface.

    Well it's live. Yay!

    What I want the most now is a roaming link for a sig that would redirect to the new post for the TF of the week, so we don't have to roam the forums looking for it.

    The Tally

    Got a pseudo-shelved fire/dark corrupter from '08 or so from lvl 32 to 43 or so, new Dark/stone tank from 1-44, and Influence and things as well.
  12. Don't trust him. His soul is a bottomless pit of LIES.

    Moderate > High?

    I think it's Spirit Shark that still apparently deals 'Heavy' damage, which was never even one of the quantities of the original damage scales afaik.

    I see these all the time, I might just keep a collection of screenshots here.

  16. I wasn't moving to evade, I was chasing your ******* emp around, trying to kill it. Couldn't get away from taunts long enough to land a good spike though, and the times that I could hit it didn't matter because it just kept running and healing. I could choke an emp.

    GR would be a good idea to start, but as far as I know, people are too busy playing the game to hang out in Atlas anymore.
  19. I love when you say things like this
  20. I've been working on updating the spreadsheet in my sig, and I have a few more 50s since I last updated it (Think my count is 30?). Will try to complete list from mostly memory:

    Fire/fire blaster: PVE IOd to the teeth
    Kin/ice defender: PVE Ios
    DM/WP Scrapper: Lots of PVE IOs
    ** Psi/EM blaster **: PVP ohmygodsoexpensivebuild

    Rest are SOs:
    Kin/Archery Defender
    Kin/Rad Defender
    Kin/Dark Defender
    Cold/Ice Defender
    Force Field/Psi Defender
    Rad/Ice Defender
    Emp/Ice Defender
    Emp/Dark Defender

    Gravity/Radiation Controller
    Fire/Kinetics Controller
    Fire/Rad Controller

    Bots/FF MM
    Bots/Poison MM

    Stone/Stone Tank <--Actually Ryxx has some IOs but he's mostly in retirement
    ** Fire/Em Tank **
    Shield/Fire Tank
    Shield/Super Strength Tank
    Shield/Elec Tank

    ** Super Strength/Fire Brute **

    Fire/Cold Corrupter
    Fire/Kin Corrupter
    ** Sonic/Pain Corrupter **

    ** Elec/Regen Stalker **
    Broadsword/Ninjitsu Stalker

    The count is a little low, but if I can't remember it, it's probably not important.
  21. I've done some more work on my build (almost all done, a few kb IOs short atm but still at 36 kb prot so good for now), but still haven't had the time to acquire portal jockey so I'm still short of hp cap, but I'm up to 1400 ish now. I should be at practice, but will likely be writing a paper till then. Boo dead weak.
