Quote:Reread what was happening.Originally Posted by Turbo_Ski
An FF defender's job is to just keep bubbles up on allies, keep dispersion up, and keep spamming repulsion bomb. If it really hits the fan you pull out repulsion field not force bubble to save a team, and such a scenario is incredibly rare when you're already so close to the defense soft cap. It is not beneficial in the slightest to attempt to herd foes into a corner with a fat radius force bubble, if that is what you want to do then reroll storm and pick up hurricane instead.
This was not a scattering issue to where it was slowing down the team. The mob was already scattered. Using Force Bubble did give the team time since the FF player was drawing aggro to themselves and keeping the mobs away from the rest of the team. Since the team was protected from melee attacks, it was in fact giving the team added protection.Quote:Originally Posted by Fury_Flechette
Obviously, it wasn't a good idea since there were so many Freaks and while the tank did manage to get their attention, the Freaks started to scatter and go after the rest of the team once they were in the corridor.
Within a few seconds, a couple of the blasters dropped and the rest of the team was injured. To buy them some time, I threw up force bubble and trapped about 17 or 18 Freaks against the corner of the corridor. Mind you, this was the first time I used force bubble in the entire time we were teamed. -

Hell, let me get my Ill/emp, and I'll show him how it's done while he sits on the sideline. :POriginally Posted by Fury_Flechette
The team was compromised of a WP/Energy tank (team leader, no taunt, no AoEs)

Quote:Willpower really doesn't add anything to Claws. Invul at least can give it a tohit bonus which helps FU hit. Willpower really is Invul and Regen in a mashed together form so I don't consider either one to be that far different.Originally Posted by Of_Misery
I'd like to make a claws scrapper, but I'm not sure which secondary to pick...
I was thinking either Invuln or Willpower, any suggestions one way or the other?
Thanks! -

A runner-up for awesome forum feature for me would be a much easier way to obtain the link for individual posts.

GvE pack has a jet pack that could be used as well.

Been trying to find stuff via Google cache, but so far there isn't much luck. The mods cleaned out a lot of the old stuff as part of switching over. I really hope they have this data stored somewhere and can get it put back in because that's a ton of important info just simply gone. The list of just the lost stuff in the defender forum is rather significant.

Quote:The good news is a large number of the guides where so ancient that they probably weren't worth keeping. The bad news even some of the outdated ones had really good info still in them. I fear a number of my bookmarked guides are simply gone. Ugh. Quason's guide was so instrumental in making my Kin/elec what it was it might be the one I miss the most. If it's truly gone, and I'm not seeing a cached version, I might have to sit down and try to crank out a newer version even if it takes me a year. :POriginally Posted by PhiloticKnight
By the way, the Bionexus guide was WAY old and out of date and no longer applied for the most part.

If you uncheck the images option, it just leaves the url to the image, so you can click on it if you want, but also not have to deal with the added lag from a mass amount of images.

Quote:If you are going to rant here, at least make it look credible. This means getting the most basic of all facts correct and maybe using a browser that has a spell checker. You may have the freedom to post this kind of stuff, but I sure as hell wouldn't recommend doing it as bad as you did.Originally Posted by Living_Fyre
To anyone that is insulted by this... Sorry. Get thicker skin. It's the internet.. and this is Freedom of Speech...

Quote:Invasions should be turned off during this weekend. You're just asking for mass lag if you let those happen right now.Originally Posted by Dr_Mechano
Random idea but..
..everyone suffered massive mapservering...then all of a sudden it cleared up. Around the time it started, a zombie invasion attacked a zone and it cleared up the instant the zombie invasion stopped.
Blame the Undead perhaps? -
Quote:And Freedom's got the biggest BS radar around. Seriously, there is only two servers that will likely have overload issues during this weekend and your promoting one of them and I just got off of there because lag is so bad. I highly doubt people on the smaller servers gives a rat's rear end about your SG during 2x exp weekend since they are leveling characters they already have with their own friends, SG mates, etc... I could go level in relative peace during this weekend, or I could actually go make new guys and increase my likelyhood of lag and being kicked out. Hmm....Originally Posted by Lemur_Lad
Then why crosspost in every server section except the EU ones? I smell a rat.

Good to play on more than Freedom and Virtue. Virtue down, off to Victory. :P

It was kind of bad on my team, but I kept getting mapserver until I finally logging off and then back on got an instant mapserver that never went away for more than a couple of seconds until I got kicked. It was only yellow when I tried to log on, but that felt much more like red/near grey levels to me.

Trap can go 1-2 acc, 3 damage.
For CC...
Quote:For SOs, you are looking at likely 1 acc, 2-3 damage, 2-3 recharge.Originally Posted by Weatherby_Goode
My suggested slotting is:
~40% Accuracy
95% Recharge
95% Damage
and as many damage procs as you can cram in. It no longer matters what sets you choose to use, so go for the cheapest one. -

I was lazy in not grabbing my old avatar, and was sort of hoping it would get ported over. Looks like I need to put up a new one. Just need to see if I want to go with the standard Without Pause, or time for a new one.

Multi-quote.
(cries tears of joy)
Been using that feature on other forums and I can't begin to describe how much of a pain it was to quote multiple posters before compared to using this simple little feature. -
Quote:Mind has no pet, so it would be rather difficult in that situation. Depending on the secondary, Stoney and Jack will be good, but Stoney and Sing would be the toughest.Originally Posted by Ohsirus
I've solo'ed Rikti Pylons on my Ill/Rad (Course no Inspirs), This thread got me wondering about the other ATs survivability in doing it. Mind? Jack? Stoney?
One knock against /rad is that it doesn't really help Seeds compared to something like /ta. Seeds + stacked -res + Oil Slick.Quote:Originally Posted by StarChiId
Plant/rad is safe as heck. Purple bubbles (Seeds of Confusion) on bad guys heads, and it's up every spawn (big spawns twice). Murdery Viney Death (Creepers) coming from the ground killin' Knockdowning, Immobing everything, and it follows you around MUHAHA!!! I don't even really use my Rad powers all that much other than AM.... You know Plant/Rad maybe to dang easy......
Ill/kin is kind of quirky in that /kin has some issues with Ill so they aren't that high ranking for synergy. Still a good combo, but as much as I like Kin and Ill, it ranks rather low on my combos to play. Fire/cold will be very slow to develop, but end game wise should be a beast.Quote:Originally Posted by Greekfyre
Great feedback.....I was thinking (based on my limited experience) that Ill/Kin was almost a perfect blend of safe and fast....but I will have to try out some of the other combos as well.
I am now wondering how a fire/ice troller will work. -
Factoring in for the board being down, I say the over/under for "Oh noes, Freedom is down. The devs suck!" threads at 10.5 although that seems a little high.
I'll probably stick to my other servers since those are the ones in need of prestige for the bases considering those aren't done yet. 2x exp weekends on Freedom don't really offer me much that I can't get during normal teaming situations. I still plan on getting as many of my guys on Freedom within hitting 50 range for one 2x exp weekend and then asking for it off at work and seeing how many guys I can ding 50 in one weekend. I could probably easily pull off 5-7 guys hitting 50 in a weekend and that would be sweet. -
Quote:I know somebody who used it on a much smaller scale and even they ran into problems with it from a resource standpoint. It's the reason we were getting various little hiccups here as well. It was at one point the gold standard for forum software, but it has been passed by for some time now.Originally Posted by GoliathBirdEater
Because as forum software goes, UBBForum (what we used to be on) sucks.

I have never used CAK..is that a new kick animation for it?
[/ QUOTE ]
The kick version of it is the same. Fairly "meh" on the new fist animations, but again, have to wait and see how some of them start to flow together. -

Yep would of loved therm and fire but instead we get Traps and AR??? whats up with that.
[/ QUOTE ]
I expect that it's because they are a thematic pair, just like tanks and scrappers getting both Elec armor and Elec melee.
[/ QUOTE ]
Because, you know, Thermal and Fire aren't thematic pairings.

To mess up on an Ill/rad once it's built means you either brain farted something, or you were pushing the envelope and that's not really messing up.

[ QUOTE ]
actually... I don't think control sets have had any changes since the great AoE control fiasco that happened while you were still playing.
[/ QUOTE ]
Epics got nerfed hard, but they were here when we got Plant, so they know about that as well. Really, not much. Ice and Earth got better pet AI, and Earth in general got small tweaks here and there.
