    Cold vs FF

Of course, that can also be bad for the set, because it can be seen as a set of many "skippable" powers.
    You have to take all of Cold's primary, save FW, if you want it to be useful, and the slotting is more of a pain on a Cold than it is on a FF.

Fuji's base) or Katsumoto (pine tree base).
    That's some interesting information to have, and now I know why their names at like that. Thanks.

    I don't suppose there's a single word for this, or something which would roughly translate to something like this?
    This is my best attempt at making it a single word, but it could be all wrong:

    Kazechi or kazeketsu.

    I will repeat that it could be all wrong.

    I hope I wasn't being anal about it. You had the word, but with different vowels.

    So, when I came up with the surname 'ishimukou' for a character in another... um... amusement or pastime... how badly did I do?
    To be honest, I don't know. You would probably have to speak with a Japanese person to know that answer.

    does "Kazeguro" end up meaning?
    Eh, not really if you're trying to think up of a Japanese name. Direct translations of names would be odd. For example, Hamada is nothing more than a last name. However, if you were to translate it through its kanji, 浜田, it would be beachy rice field.

    Quote:
    how can I formulate a name which comes off meaning "blood wind,"
    I'm not very good at making actual Japanese names. It's just easier for me to look up Japanese names.

    For the blood wind, I'm not sure how you could make it into an actual Japanese name, but the word for it would be "chi no kaze", or 「血の風」, if you're interested in the kana. The meaning of that would be "the blood's wind", or blood wind.
  9. Bots/TA. Late blooming primary combined with a late blooming secondary.

    I have yet to see another 50 Bots/TA on Protector, besides mine. So I guess it makes the combination rare.

    So... Stalkers.

    Quote:
    Damage is boosted to 1.125 (Why they're 1.000 is beyond me, high damage? Not really... They lack the AoE to be high damage.) Build up raised to +100% damage over +80%
    This, and...

    How about giving all stalker attacks a 10-20% to placate? Longer animating attacks would receive a higher percentage. Is this too broken? Alright? Weak?
  11. I like being the toughest AT in the game.
  12. As for right now, KM looks unplayable to me because if any of the powers in the set has knockback, I won't play it. Plus, the animations look long.

    Good Kins use other use powers besides SB to help the team.

    Edit: Just wanted to add to that bit.

    Your suggested changes would remove the visceral feel of those powers, and not help the sets, either. You can pry the KB in those powers from my cold, dead hands.
    Or would help me and along with other players to get rid of the annoyance.
  15. お誕生日おめでとうございます!

    Happy birthday!

    KB in City of Heroes is overused.
    I agree. The knockback in most of Energy Blast's attacks, Shockwave, Gale, Crane Kick, etc. should all be changed to knockdown.
  17. I like how a thread that as supposed to be a comedic one, gets turned into an argument because JB decided to ***** and moan.
  18. I don't know if this has been asked before, but I'm going to ask anyways.

    How come people didn't want the MF buff?

    Of course, JB, there's more to it than that.

    they continue the hostility to myself and others.
    You should know why.

    You deserved it.

    proposing buffs to Invulnerability.
    I like how you don't go into detail on what the buffs were.

    Tho TA does need a buffing. As a TA'er both corr and once defender..it doesnt perform as well as it can do compare to others
    TA is fine, it's just that your TA toon is just weak.

    I linked the post where the math was done, and it did not take into account any resistances.
    So it was done at +0/+1, just SOs and no Hasten?


    Quote:
    Stun is the guaranteed attack, and the majority of the others stun more often than they don't. Stun->TF->Bone Smasher->ET should have anything stunned much more often than it doesn't. No other attack set can boast that kind of reliable control.
    Fault obliterates EM's stuns.

    It may have something to do with the fact that energy is one the least resisted damage types.

    Quote:
    Just because you don't understand how to stack stuns doesn't mean it doesn't have mitigation capabilities.
    I love your ignorance. I used to own two toons with EM. One of them had to be deleted because he was unplayable because of the unwarranted ET nerf. The other one I still have incase my friends want to do a MoSTF. I can say for a fact that EM's mitigation capabilities are laughable. If the devs were to take out the stuns from the set, I probably wouldn't even notice it. Yes, EM does have mitigation, but the majority of the stuns aren't guaranteed, making the set worse than it already is.

    Pretty much, AoE mitigation will always beat single target.
  23. EM is not fine as it is. What EM can do, other sets can do it way better, and without damaging the caster.

    Quote:
    great ST damage
    That's great comedy.

    Quote:
    mitigation capabilities.
    It has mitigation capabilities? Since when?

    Anyone else notice this?
    My 2nd tier pets only have one SO end redux, and the Ember Demon's endurance problem is fine. Even when moving from spawn to spawn, his endurance doesn't go down to half. The only time where his endurance is dropping is when I'm fighting enemies that can drain endurance.

    I think you must be doing something wrong.
