Filling out the proliferation gaps in the APPs is definitely something the power guys want to do... it's finding time to do it that's the problem. This issue is especially labor intensive for the powers team.

I'm a little confused by the objections to a "mono-ethnic" street gang. As far as I know, that's how it actually goes. Or are people just used to Bronze Age comics with laughably "integrated" gangs?

Yes, I know it's a necro thread, but...

I use a Dark Defender...so adjust your tactics accordingly....yes you hear right....DARK DEFENDER...not Tank...not Scrapper....DEFENDER! -
I remember when being in gangs used to be cool.

My usual setup: On just about every toon, I get Hover and SuperSpeed. Hover gets a LotG+Recharge or whatever Defensive Procs to mule. SuperSpeed gets an IO+Stealth.
Then I augment them with Steam Jump and the Jump Pack (each sold separately).
This allows me to:
- Speed stealth any mission that's stealthable.
- Hover (with very little End cost, unlike Fly)
- Fly at Flyspeed cap (using the two jump packs to augment Hover's flyspeed -- each alone will do that, and alternating them makes it near perma)
- SuperJump at jump speed caps (using the the two jump packs to augment JumpSpeed)
- SuperSpeed (as a travel power, and if you want to use it during battle, you'll need to put some EndRedux in it or boost Endurance other ways with IOs).
The cost of the two permanent 'temp' powers to make taking just two travel powers and augmenting them to such utilitarian goodness is well worth it. You now have virtual Fly, Hover, SuperSpeed, SuperJump, and Invisibility with just two power choices. -

Make 3 other accounts, make stalkers and use them to click bombs. Won't even have to level them.

You know. I used to believe that as well.
Then I noticed how companies don't like to give two weeks notice for layoffs, yet to want employees to give 2 weeks notice if they want to quit.

If you look at the AoE heals that do self-heal in City of Heroes, the AoE self-heal does about half of the healing that the single-target others-only heals do. I think that's a brilliant rule. (The one that violates that rule is Dark Miasma's, which, like everything else about Dark Miasma, is so overpowered that I have no earthly idea why it hasn't been nerfed yet.) Combine that with the solo-only damage buff from New Vigilance and what you've got is soloes almost like a corrupter, but even more useful on teams.
But the fantasticness of Dark's heal is balanced on its need to hit a foe and for teammates to be nearby. On my D3, I can hardly ever heal a Blaster in need because they keep running around so much they always run out of my AoE heal. I can't be the H34|3R for the Tanker up against Recluse on the MsLTF because I can't 'hit' Recluse to get a heal off. And there have been times I desperately needed Twilight Grasp's heal... and it failed to hit.
But when it does hit, Dark Heal is one of the best in the game for hitting oneself and a wide area of allies with huge numbers. For many high-end encounters, Dark can provide 'the healing bubble' all by its lonesome (and those who miss out can get hit with the best Rez in the game
).
Dark Miasma was already nerfed once when Fluffy was limited to one out at a time and it's Hold was reduced mag and duration nominally so as not to step on Controller's territory even though Dark Hold doesn't do damage like Controller's holds do. -
I'm still waiting here in Pocket D 7 for the past 4 days. What am I supposed to do? I'd really like to get some sleep or some food now.

Debuffers currently do pay for their self-buffing to some degree against AV's and Elite Bosses with purple triangles.
Radiation Infection wont provide the team the same margin of safety that Force Field or Cold shields do in that situation.
Whether that's enough to balance the inability to self-buff, I'm not sure.While 'hard targets' resist debuffs making the debuff less effective, most hard targets also do more damage and have higher ACC or ToHit and have high Resistance to damage which also lessens the effectiveness of buffs of +Resist, +Def, and +DAM.Quote:Originally Posted by Sarrate
On the other hand, debuffs are effected by enemy resistance (purple patch and otherwise), need to hit (can be an issue with accuracy issue or mob placement), have a target cap, etc. Buffs will help you against anything you target, but can't always be used on yourself. -

Quote:I agree. Furthermore, debuffing the foe is nearly mechanically equivalent to self buff. That's why Dark Miasma does so well. The -30% Resistance in Tar Patch is equivalent to a +30% Dam self-buff. The -Regen is also equivalent to higher DPS. The insane amount of -ToHit is equivalent to buffing oneself to the Soft Cap. The -DAM is equivalent to buffing oneself with extra Resistance.Originally Posted by Nalrok_AthZim
The pattern I've noticed here is that the more inclined a support set is to healing and/or buffing (newer sets like Time and Nature notwithstanding) the less powers it gets to use solo. That seems a little unfair considering that debuff-heavy support sets have most-if-not-all of their powers available for solo play.
Not letting buffers buff themselves would be equivalent to having the powers of a debuffer effective only for one's teammates but not for oneself. -
Quote:Do I get points for googling it?Originally Posted by Aett_Thorn
Hmmm...an intelligent guard. Didn't see that one coming.
((Points to anyone who gets the reference)) -
It's in: City of Heroes\globalname\playernotes.txt
Or it may be under the PlayNC subdirectory. You can just search your hard drive for the name of the file, too.
You can copy it from computer to computer. You can edit it, too, to merge files. I recommend using Notepad++, a free Notepad-like text editor that handles database files better than Notepad.
