Not much but I got my first recipe Annoyance: Taunt/Rech/Range

Quote:That's what bugs me about some sets that I might slot for the enhanced values but not for the set bonuses. Just now I was looking at the two Teleport sets and scratching my head on why Time and Space Manipulation is just outright better than Jaunt when they have the exact same level range. Plus, as you mentioned the problem with some sets having bonuses that are good in theory but not strong enough to matter.Originally Posted by BrandX
This. It's not that there isn't diversity. It's just not enough sets have what people want as set bonuses, making the sets pretty much junk.
I've never noticed the little difference a set bonus of Sleep Resistance added to a toon without any to begin with.
My first thought for this would be to change the set bonuses to either something people find more useful, or increase those resistances enough to make them noticable.
If my defender actually saw a use for these resistance, and the rest of the set had other decent bonuses, I would likely use the set. But as of now...I havent found those bonuses to be worthwhile. :/ -
Generally a high level character will either SSK you past the mob range, Recall Friend, or you just stealth your way there.

Now updated with prize info.

Which zone? I'd assume RWZ so it's coop but asking to make sure.

While part of ED was to weaken the players, it also had the goal of encouraging different builds. From a few threads here and there I have to wonder if they actually succeeded in getting players to use differing builds. It seems like certain IOs have a tendency to be shunned in favor of doing things the "right" way. Wondering what everyone else's opinion on this is.

Quote:Why? Because what, two whole enemies (Croatoa witches do it too) in the entire game are designed not to be easy mode for Scrappers and Brutes? Especially since there's still numerous options to deal with them ranging from taunting, actually using your travel power, taking cover and ambushing them when they try to regain line of sight, and probably more. Plus, they're minions so they tend to die quick whenever you do get them in range of lolFootstomp. Honestly, I personally feel that whoever designed their AI should be sent one of those infamous fruitbaskets the devs occassionally get.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Yeah, and it infuriates me every time they do that.
...I now have the urge to name a toon Infamous Fruitbasket

Quote:I'm not even sure you need Aid Self pending on your primary and secondary. You can get the rez by taking Aid Other + Stimulant since the 4th pool pick requires two previous powers but doesn't matter which two. Stim compliments the rez since it'll break them out of the stunned state allowing them to Rest/self heal so you can either heal another team mate or run off and gank something.Originally Posted by Darth_Vernon

If a TF/SF blocks temps, does it also block Accolade powers from Day Jobs too?
-
Well, Yin's Market blueside has SOs at lvl 13 but only one per Origin so I'm not sure how useful that would be for you.

Don't get be wrong, the frontloaded damage on a Stalker is great but I'm curious about other possibilities added on to that. Perhaps my every discussion should have the disclaimer: "Not sane. Took Dimension Shift on purpose on a Dominator and has actually put it to use."
Not saying yay or nay but merely adding to the discussion: Would the endurance cost of 3 Leadership toggles be a hinderance instead of a help to a Stalker? Wondering a number of other things like would it be best to avoid having a travel power or should you "default" to Teleport so you can get Recall Friend? Which patron would be best or perhaps avoid a patron altogether? -
The PvPEC is pleased to announce the beginning of a fun and exciting PvP league that will be taking place on the Freedom Server.
The League is designed with the player in mind. By creating a system where each team is composed of two squads, one drafted squad and one selected squad, we have joined the competitive nature of the PvP Ladder with the easy going format of the PvP League into one style of play that everyone can enjoy.
Always wanted to try out arena but never quite sure how to get your foot in the door? CoH's top players will be there to help you every step of the way, understanding the ins and outs of everything from builds to strategy. You might even make a few friends. Everyone that signs up is guaranteed a chance to play every week, working together with your fellow heroes and villains at a chance for glory or just a good time.
- Division 8 teams, which are selected by captains before the draft, will run in the traditional 8v8 format only against other Division 8 teams. This provides a medium for those wishing to participate in the fast and highly competitive nature of arena 8v8 matches.
- Division 6 teams, which are composed of drafted players, will play in 6v6 format and only play other Division 6 teams. With this system, Division 6 will fight other squads in a no stress scenario that welcomes any and all players, no matter their powersets or PvP experience.
- Both squads compose a single team so everyone is contributing no matter what division they belong to. Rounds will be scored for wins/ties/losses and the team with the highest cumulative score at the end of the season will be deemed the winner!
Paragon Studios has been most gracious in offering the following prizes to the winning team!- City of Heroes/City of Villains T-Shirt
- In-Game Gold Title
- Archetype Pin
- Blinking "Awesome" Button
Don't let those free server transfers go to waste, transfer a character over to Freedom and come join in the fun! Everyone is strongly encouraged to participate!

Quote:I certainly look forward to seeing your results. It always struck me as something interesting how Stalkers are the sneaky rogue class but "only" got the option to be damage dealers. Especially in light of the ability to sometimes out survive the rest of the team and the whole stealth/tp thing.Originally Posted by Sokyoku
This is the kind of conjecture i wish to settle.
I did dedicate a second build to it, but it doesn't seem to be that much of a hinderance. Still working on slotting it, though (only got about 50 mil to outfit w/). Corruptors are squishy, and trollers are blueside. 95% of the time, my stalker is the last one standing. My corrs rarely have that distinction. As for a troller, dunno. Never played one. I have an unhealthy obsession w/ stalkers, methinks. Anywho, i'll post the details when i get the build slotted. And, who knows, this might be a waste of time, but it might prove useful. Isn't experimentation fun? Once again, thanks for the input, and keep it coming!
See, now you've got me wanting to roll another Stalker just to experiment and I really don't need any more alts. -
Exactly what happens if I slot the Miracle (or Numina...) proc in Triage Beacon? Do I get the buff or does nothing happen? Likewise, what happens if slotted in a pet?

Arc Name: Dhahabu Kingdom and the Indelible Curse of Hate
Arc ID: 367872
Faction: Heroic
Creator Global: @Zamuel
Synopsis: A hero's work with the Portal Corporation doesn't just spread through Paragon. Other dimensions need help as destiny has decreed you to be their savior. Aid Queen Auri as the Dhahabu Kingdom fights to stop an evil curse from destroying all she holds dear.
---
I'd like to thank everyone who helped me test and edit this arc. It feels so good to finally have it finished. Hopefully those who tested it will rate it now that it's officially published

Experiment a bit and you should be able to make a working concept. As stated, Controllers, Defenders, Corruptors, and Dominators will all be good picks. I think recolored version of Dark Miasma or Radiation Emission may work best but in the end it will be your choice.
Be sure to check out www.paragonwiki.com to get an idea on how some powers work. -
Quote:Sheer brilliance on the Longbow Chasers idea. Plus, the Council Empire map IS available but I'm not sure how well it would work with all the Council logos everywhere and the one or two 5th Column posters.Originally Posted by BackFire
Suggestions for more mayhem include:
- Jet plane squadrons (longbow chasers)
- Tanks (is the Council Empire outdoor map available?)
-
While asked for, I don't think this has ever had an official suggestion so I'd love to see this.
-
While there was a slow start, I thank everyone for coming out. I hope things go smoother for next month's event.
-
If available, I'll try. Guess I'll bring my Storm/Ice Defender.
-
Only 30 minutes left! Hope to see everyone come out to participate.

Quote:Part of the bio near the end seemed to imply that part of what people know may be false and that he's not as good as he's made out to be. Plus, it seems like he plans to go as far as to invade our dimension which isn't an admirable quality.Originally Posted by EU_Damz
That bio of his really changed my views on him, i dont think i can face him now on my heroes in perigine island without feeling guilty. This guy defeated hami and saved the world!
As far as strength comparisons, I think the biggest "weakness" with Statesman is that his no killing stance makes him hold back by default, essentially the Superman problem. If States singlehandedly knocked down the RWZ mothership, then he's plenty strong in his own right. -
I think that the devs can keep higher difficulty for some new missions and TFs/SFs but they need to scale it back for holiday events. Even with extensions, holiday events are only up for a limited amount of time. That's less time to work out strategies and a smaller window for the badge minded players.

Quote:That said, the back of that picture (in the one's posted that were brightened) do indeed look like they could be from some sort of sewer maintainence piping so I'm going to stick on my theory.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
I think there's ambient occlusion being used in the picture - and as Positron said that wasn't going to be used on mission maps, then unless that's changed, it must be an area of one of th new zones.
