  1. In addition, if you are playing a /en, /elec, /mm, /ice, or /dark blaster and you aren't using your secondary, then I really don't know what to tell you. Hell, my Fire/fire uses as much of my secondary as possible. Why? Because he's a virtual rolling nuke with the sheer AoE he pumps out and I'll be damned if that isn't a hell of a lot of fun.

If I can, with 3 attacks, ALMOST get one point of orange, am I really happy with the -res? Someone else might be, but I probably don't care that much.
    Defenders get a -20% res debuff with sonic attacks. I'm lazy; I'm not seeing if it's on all powers. Point is, there's no way you are getting "almost one point of orange" due to the stacking debuffs. My /sonic defenders are great at gift wrapping hard targets. Bosses tend to melt as the debuffs stack. I have dropped jaws and proven people wrong in terms of how difficult it is in dropping AVs/GMs. I recall duoing an AV way back in the day on my Rad/sonic and my teammate's first response after it was done was "Whoa."

    Also note if you see an increase of one more point of damage, it would be per DoT. If it's a lower level defender, then that makes more sense. Once a higher up /sonic chains attacks together, again, there's no way it's a one point difference unless ridiculously high resist are in play. This also says nothing of the increase in damage that's coming from teammates. I have two level 50 /sonics and bosses quite literally melt before my eyes once the debuffs start stacking.

    But to me it comes across as a rather cheap version of them.
  4. I personally would do it where the more you do something you get better at it, or based on story lines.

    CoD doesn't have the newest power sets, so it could be behind with info on the other power sets as well.
  6. Have you tried looking into server channels for the server you are on?

    A question...

    Developer answers would be appreciated.
  8. I'm skipping reading this because I want to go see this still. I'm targeting this Friday as I know it won't be around long. I'll just add that if you want to see Hardy show off his acting chops, watch Bronson. It's graphic(violence, frontal nudity), but he does an amazing job in it.
  9. Some of those sets depend on how far you played them. Kat, BS, and Kin all get their highest ST damage at 26 and 32. The weapon sets will deal with resistance issues even if I never found it to be all that bad. Elec simply isn't a ST based set, so that might be a factor there in terms of oomph. It's great for mass carnage though. Again, if you stopped in the 20s, then you missed on getting it's signature power. Kin has the perception of the damage per animation time being off when it isn't.

    Fire brings the damage, but it's highly DoT based so it's not really oomph based, but it's effective. Outside of it, you might just want to take a weapon set and level it to where it gets its big hitters and then judge it. Going /shield helps any set that can pair with it in the oomph department.

    Bug it in game, and/or contact support about it. I prefer direct contact.

    Not a big mclargehuge irritation, but enough to make me post this
    I actually do find it rather annoying and I almost started a thread on it. Colored names is one thing, but if you are going to work on the forum, fix the freaking log out bug first.
  14. Buff Revive all you want, I'm still not taking it.
  15. My Enhancement Simplification for Dummies would be this...

    - Get rid of TOs/DOs/SOs.
    - Let F2P/Premium players use common IOs.
    - Let crafted common IOs drop when a TO/DO/SO would drop instead.
    - IOs from sets are only usable for players with access to them.

    The original taker released the name. Nobody noticed. A friend of Westley asked the former holder about the name, and then went and grabbed it for Westley.

    I'll likely play the game once a week for the next nine months, or so. I will have built up nearly 6K in points during that time. I'm not somebody who has to have any and everything that PS adds to the game.

    +1. I have gone though dead end jobs, job loss, and financial loss in the past two years. My head just shakes at what people are dropping so quickly in the Paragon store. Knock yourself out if you can afford it, but it comes across as utterly wasteful in terms of money management.

    But somebody IS Philotic Knight.
    Westley can be Philotic Knight on the VIP server when he resubs and I'll leave it at that. I'm not the one holding it for him in case people were wondering.

    Except for F2P and some Premium players.

    What also needs to happen is enhancement names cleanup. Leave their graphics as they are, but call them something like Mutation: Damage Increase or Science: Stun/Disorient/Something Duration Increase. Oh, and speaking of "something," take the time to standardise enhancement aspect names. I don't know under what logic "entangle" equals "slow," but please pick one name and stick to it.
    +1. I haven't used TOs since maybe my first month playing the game so those could go away and I see no issue with it. 1-11 really doesn't push for enhancement slotting. 12-21 helps. 22+ it's basically required.

    I don't worry about it, but out of habit I still do it. It bugs me that some places simply screw you over.

  24. Let me get this straight, you are mad about not getting a name in a game you are quitting anyway? My sympathy for you knows no bounds.

    P.S. If somebody wants to ego stroke themselves by taking my namesake on a server I have zero desire to play on, then by all means do so. You won't even get a day old internet cookie from me for your effort.
