Or the one that has been true since issue 1? Even in your screen shots, it shows the healing rate as a function of healing/second, which does NOT make it so that it it tics once per second, or anything like that. It shows it that way because it's an easy way to compare things, and is intuitive. Regen increases help by decreasing the time between each tic.

If you have Ice Sword, Frozen Touch, and Frozen Fists, then it's really not worth taking. It's DPA is actually pretty bad, and you're better off taking something like Air Superiority if you need another attack.

I'm with ya, brother. Comcast is probably the worst company I've ever had to deal with. Last time we were having trouble with them, my girlfriend and I were on the phone with customer service at EXACTLY the same time, and were getting told that we had two completely different service packages for different prices. Good work, Comcast!

Psy Clockwork are quite rare. They actually only show up in I think 2 missions. Most enemies that you meet in the later levels still throw out a lot of S/L damage, just in addition to other types. However, once you get your Inv tank to level 18, you will see a marked performance increase from Invincibility.

Inv is a nice, solid set that doesn't need too much from set bonuses (just enough to soft-cap defenses). However, at the soft cap, I think that WP outperforms it (assuming that both are at the soft cap, of course). WP will take more to get there, but once it is there, the additional regen effects can help a LOT. The Taunt aura is weaker, but paired with an AoE-heavy secondary, or even just learning to use Taunt well can cover that.


But in reality, both do just fine, so it's more what you prefer.

For you, maybe not. For me, they make me actually have to use tactics in a game that is already remarkably easy.

Mezzes and debuffs of ridiculous length are another story, of course. But mobs should have some mezzes and debuffs, otherwise there's no way they could compete with heroes.

So you'd rather them go back to having all toggles turn off? Because they're certainly unlikely to make it so that mezzes do next to nothing.

Methinks (even with the +rep he gave me) that he was being facetious.

Well, it is true. Yes, the sets make a decent amount of difference, but a better player will school a bad player no matter what the sets are.

Now, if we're talking WHOLLY in theoreticals here, we might be able to craft an answer for you. However, that will not guarantee a victory in PvP.

For Blasters, I see Psy/Energy thrown out a lot, mostly for the longer range it gives you. Not sure about Defenders. I would think that the Defender would be at a disadvantage until it gets it's debuffs on the Blaster, but something like a Cold/Sonic Defender? Not really too sure on that side of things.

Well, I'd hope that the Devs would be smart enough not to create missions of that type with whatever enemy groups they put this with. Because, I admit, that would be highly annoying.

Well, for me, it would be, since it's one of the few times you actually need to pay attention to what is happening to you in the game. Most of the game is easy enough that you can just mash buttons if you want to. You won't be the most efficient doing that, but you can.

Fighting Succubi is one of the few times I actually care about watching my status bar. I'm not saying make them pop up all over the place, but I think having a few more mob types that can do this would be fun.

Memphis,

Yes, we are told that one player cannot manipulate the market to the point that it becomes unreasonable. This is because with different people doing different things, nobody is working towards the same point. It is also because few people are doing this, and most people are still putting things up for fairly cheap prices. As such, you have a majority self-correcting the attempt to manipulate, which causes it to fail.

However, if you add to that the ability for EVERYONE, with no effort, to hold things off the market to a large extent (especially if going by the OP's 1,000 salvage case, versus the 20 that we can do now) and you get a different beast at work.

Right now, I am betting that relatively few people use the e-mail feature to store salvage, since it's a non-intuitive use of the system. Make a system that is specifically designed to hold a large amount of salvage across your account, and more people will use it.

As such, you would be removing items from the market that would otherwise go into it, which would lower demand. Most people would only hold onto rare salvage, since that is the rarest and most valuable. Right now, I tend to put any rare salvage I don't need on the market, because I know that the influence will likely be more valuable to me in the long run, allowing me to buy any other rare salvage I need, or even the same item later on if I need it. Allow me to universally store a large amount of rare salvage, and holding onto it becomes more useful in the long run. So you'd remove my desire to put even unwanted items on the market. If the storage is large enough that I am unlikely to run out of space before I get the item that I want, then there is no downside to holding onto my items.

A large enough storage space would indeed affect the market. The easier it is to use, the more it would affect the market.

I believe, that if any sets did have it, it would work just like the player version. Basically, it would do nothing, unless it had -range on it, at which point it would only do something to the ranged ATs, but they could still target anyone they liked.
