I'm really glad to know that I'm not the only person who when a review thread he likes bumps to the top, he goes through and rereads reviews.

And hey, agnosticism - in writing - is a matter of choic and style.

My computer returns! Fanfare!

Doesn't sound like a buff to me.

[/ QUOTE ]Let us consider this:

The devs state their goals, and do things. Then those goals - at least according to you - are massively not met.

What the hell do you think they're doing? Do you honestly think the goal of these changes was to weaken the archetype?

[ QUOTE ]
Does a Blaster have to build Domination?

[/ QUOTE ]Do you need to be seen to build domination? Don't you have an entire secondary to build domination?

Mind explaining how this differs from the applications of Cloaking devices in gadgets?

[ QUOTE ]
Are consolidated threads a wise addition to this forum?

[/ QUOTE ]I'd say absolutely. It lets people who aren't actually going to advance any causes or adjust things at all have a place to sound of emptily for days. Can be very useful as a way to keep the rest of the forums from further being dragged into ridiculous topics when there are a large body of people who don't care about the issue.

We might just read the thread because we can rely on any threads you start to be funny. Don't sell yourself short as a celebrity.

This looks like a great buff for my dominators. My Mind/Energy in particular is shifting into high gear with the Energy Assault upgrades. I'll glady take all those changes for my Plant/Psy too.

[/ QUOTE ]

...You love firing off two /energy attacks and losing half your blue bar? I exaggerate a little, but really not that much; the END issues are just horrible.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm afraid I won't be in much of a position to comment on that. My Mind/Energy is at a level where endurance is no longer a concern (outside of endurance drains from enemies). I tend to overdo it when slotting for endurance reduction...

[/ QUOTE ]How dare you compensate for endurance issues. The proper response is to complain. :|

'It doesn't suit my playstyles' is not the same as 'it is completely useless.'

all my doms tend to use their secondary to build domination...

My emp/archery? Kinda sissy damage. But then, he picked sets that don't have a lot of ways to improve personal damage or survivability.

To everyone who played a dominator, it's a buff.

To those people who played PSW PSW PSW PSW PSW PSW PSW it's a nerf but well, [censored] them.

Having seen Tornelco's defender solo AVs and Giant Monsters, I think I'd be happy with that damage on my dominators.

... power thrust... can throw the moon around...

Anyway, I think you're more or less pigeonholing yourself as 'unpleasable fanbase.'

[ QUOTE ]
I mean, Power Thrust "feels" more powerful than almost any Super Strength power, yet does almost no damage.

[/ QUOTE ]Hitting a guy a thousand yard away and he gets back up and comes back feels more powerful to you than smacking a guy so hard that he flies twenty feet straight up and doesn't get back up?

Good that you can join us in the laughter.

Superman fans will never be satisfied. It's not enough that tankers do a lot of damage, because people will complain that superman should do more. I've written much on the subject of these kinds of fans, but it tends to boil down to: They can never be happy and will contribute nothing even if you try. So don't bother.

Clearly they should have made one AT that was 'Retardedly Overpowered' with the 'Weak Characterisation' and 'Cheap Concept' pools to compensate all those people who want to play Superman.

You know black dwarf mire isn't 30 seconds long any more, right? ;p

[ QUOTE ]
it's a ranged Total Focus!

[/ QUOTE ]Sweet dancing jehovah.

I'm almost sad that I'm going to 'have' to start socketing my /nrg's attacks like they're real attacks and stop using Kinetic Crashes.

[ QUOTE ]
I believe it deals the majority of damage up front with some DoT, but I'll have to double check.

I really just want to know why the endurance and recharged was increased and the damage brought down. And I hope it's not due to "the formula."

[/ QUOTE ]Combustion got a big break on damage/end/recharge because it was entirely DoT. At least if it works the way I thought, which is how the tanker version works.

If they've frontloaded the damage, that will make the power MUCH more useful.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]

The attacks do more damage. They're going to cost more endurance as a necessity. Longer recharges means more damage.

[/ QUOTE ]

Tell that to Combustion...it's over in the corner sobbing.

[/ QUOTE ]Does it still deal all of its damage as a DoT, or is it up front?

And it's not like Fire has any real right to complain

On my brute, I go Cleaving Blow Acc/Rech, Mocking Beratement Acc/Rech, Rech, Gaussian's proc. Minimalist, I know, but duplicateable on a scrapper too.

nova offers... what, exactly?

[/ QUOTE ]

The most damage.

[/ QUOTE ]Not distributed in a significant enough way to give a damn, if you're playing on a Lv50 IO'ed Warshade build!

[/ QUOTE ]
I wouldn't've said anything if you gave your opinion like that.

[/ QUOTE ]*shrugs* Nova offers 'the most damage.' That's meaningless when you're self-capping your damage and ST Dpsing your way through bosses. I can't imagine how going Nova for the three seconds you'd get to do anything with it is a meaningful change except in that it forces you to then maneuver to a new location to leverage the damage.

"The most damage" is meaningless when a step downward you can get "enough damage."

Hey, guys, I skipped to the end, but did anyone call him on:

1. Taking a brute on a LRSF?
2. Not noticing that LR has a +1,000% tohit buff to smash whatever his def based character had?
3. Lying?

[/ QUOTE ]
1. I take Brutes on a LRSF all the time.
2. Irrelevant, since you're working for him and not fighting him.
3. He's been called on that a few times.

[/ QUOTE ]Barring for #3, I must apologise. It's been too long - I've been hearing people complaining about LR's huge tohit, I just kinda zoned out which TF is about working FOR him and which is working AGAINST him.

Either way, ridiculous thread. :P
