I will gladly give up the ball of light animation for the ability to have some resist in Nova Form. This is a welcome change IMO.Quote:Originally Posted by Aura_Familia
Agreed on this point also. -
Would it be to much to give "Inner Light" the Rage makeover? Would still have to change forms to click it, but it will last longer and it will have the -dam, -end when it crashes as the balance.
If it is to OP then I would like Inner Light to be clickable in all forms. -
Quote:Yes LF does crash. I just tested it out a little while ago and I lost 1/2 my hp and 1/2 my end. Now that I think about it I do not know if Essence Boost played a factor in how much HP I lost. I will check it out again when I get home from work.Originally Posted by Sarrate
Does the new LF still crash? If it does, then its situational nature could be to not dying during the crash. Yes, you could wait for it to crash before jumping into a spawn, but that means paying attention and not simply barreling into spawns.
I'm still trying to absorb all the changes in I21 (not just Kheldian) and I can't look at things myself (nothing unlocked on beta), so I don't have an opinion as of yet. -
Quote:At 180secs it is still IMO considered a skippable power. Now if they lowered it to 120seconds then that would be a great change.Originally Posted by JawDropper_EU
Why would they keep it KB? Do they just want us to constantly piss off teams?
Love the changes to Lightform and Photon Seekers though. 180secs is great for that. (Although of course still massively outclassed by the WS ones). -

I don't feel Lightform's crash is a good enough tradeoff.
I agree with Grey Pilgrim on this.Quote:Originally Posted by Grey Pilgrim
I'm not sure about that. The powers are equal in recharge and duration, and Eclipse can surpass the resists of Light Form, and with no crash whatsoever. Light Form does have mez protection, but it's only Mag 3. That's nice, but if you have ever used Acrobatics for hold protection on a squishy, you know it's not enough if there is more than one mezzer around.
I would say the two powers are pretty equivalent. Both have pros and cons and are unique enough to keep the two sets different but balanced from each other.
PB's are finally getting looked at since they have been underperforming for years, so dont talk about taking our goodies away. Even with these fixes WS's are still better at PvE than PB's. -

now if it was just KD ...
It was one of the first things I checked. I was hoping the devs read all the complaints about the KB and asking to convert it to KD.
-
Do you think going Ice Mastery or Mace Mace Mastery would be better for the S/L defense than going temp Invul for the S/L resist? Other than That I really like the build and would like to see it in action one day.

I was just wondering, why does AIB's Photon Seekers icon look different than mine?

Quote:That is kinda long to wait for an hour for a power to recharge, hell I think 30 is to long as well. I think 10-15 would be better and keep the unbuffable recharge. The ability to use it 4 times an hour IMO would not be a bad thing. I could even see it at a 20 min recharge and use it 3 times an hour.Originally Posted by Lazarillo
According to the various rumors floating around after Comic Con, they're apparently only in the travel pools. They are:
~Speed - Burnout - Instantly recharge all your powers, but costs 50 Endurance and has a very long recharge of its own (I've heard both 30 and 60 minutes, and that it can't be buffed, ala Strength of Will).
~Leaping - Don't know the name, but it's a Lightning Rod-esque attack.
~Teleport - Long-Range Teleport - Let's you immediately jump to another zone.
~Flight - Afterburners - Fly at near Superspeed levels, but you're in Only Affecting Self mode. -

I would be curious in seeing your build if you get a chance. -
hmmmm... Slot a Fury of the Gladiator (Chance for -Res) and a Achilles' Heel (Chance for Resistance Debuff) in Irradiate makes a nice resistance debuffer on top of the -defense in the primary. So a Rad/MM has -defense, -recovery, -regen, - recharge, and can have -resist. It sounds like I have a double xp project.

Elec/fire Brute vs Elec/fire Scrap
I have a fully done lvl 50+3 elec/fire brute with 10B+ build.. 100% extra recharge and fully made for AoE farming.
I'm currently making a elec/fire scrapper the same build with only 90% recharge. only reason i'm making a scrapper cause the dmg cap is easier to reach and LR does more dmg, cause it's considered pet dmg. I know burn does have fear but with the dmg output shouldn't matter for teaming. And i like that the scrapper just has to hit build ups and is rdy to go were the brute needs some warm.
What you think would be better for teaming and farming?
I think farming wise the scrapper would only be 10-15 seconds behind the brute.
Just FYI you are more likely gonna have some scrapper lovers saying scrappers are better because of the better damage or brute lovers saying that more resist is the way to go. When it comes down to it it's all up to your platstyle and what are you looking for. If I am farming only then I would like to have a brute, but if I am doing team missions only then scrapper would be my choice. -
The males have the Squid and Lobster Form and the girls have the Crab and Shrimp Form?
I think I am in the mood for sea food...
-
Is there any way we can see the builds of these awesome DM/SD scrappers and Brutes? I would like to see what the Similarities and Differences of each build.
-
- Controller Control
- Rifle (Tear Gas, Stun Granades, Pepper Spray, etc...)
** this will go well with traps
- Dominator Assault
- Rifle Assault (mixture of range and rifle melee)

Its a bit of a contradiction isn't it?
On the one hand, the ability to strengthen and foritfy, and on the other, the ability to destroy with unbelievable efficiency!

Quote:Wait for the Proliferation and make a Emp/Fire. It should be a fun set.Originally Posted by Muse to my Ears
except empathy. I love being a defender. I love taking care of the team and everyone around me. I love all of my different types of defenders. They all have they're little thing of awesomeness, but I haven't made a permanent person with empathy power.
I had one that got to about 31, but because of my altinitous and some cousins who wanted to make take some spots on my main server, (grr you evil spawns from satan) I lost this toon amoung others. (r.i.p.)
She was a empathy/energy...and even though it went amazingly well (concept wise) for my toon, (white-lighter esk) I want to make it a great toon now.
Now granted I have one of every kind of defender. Here is my list of combos I currently have. I want to try a different secondary, because I want to branch out
sonic/sonic
Dark/dark
Cold/dark
Strom/ice
Forcefield/rad
Kinetics/sonic
Rad/electric
Trick arrow/dual pistols ( p.s. the drawback on the weapons really isnt that bad at all, especially since as a defender on a team you rarely have time to attack when using the trick arrow set and by the time the weapon change happens there is not that much down time at all I promise. try it. fun set. Super versatile if you know your enemies weaknesses and gives you that extra edge
)
but basically want to try other secondary effects that might be good. Was looking into psychic because I've never used it on a defender, but I can only imagine the horror stories trying to solo the carnies.
I try to solo with all my defenders, so this will need to be important information because I do solo a lot...but being an empath, I could see not getting that chance much. lol.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
( I have been trying to make this toon for a while...and I decided who better to help then you guys! ) -

Fallen_Hand,
I do not know what your storyline is for your mental based character, but I do like the mental powers of a VEAT Fortunata and wonder if the origin of the fort can be blended for your character's bio.
P.S. Remember that Corruptors will be getting PSI blast soon and they have access to Psi Mastery from the APP as well.
P.S.S. I have also seen someone on virtue using Kinetic Melee as a Psi Melee by changing the colors. They were a KM/Willpower. It was actually looked pretty cool looking and worked well. -

Now, anything to add?
-
Some people say more damage makes a better DM/SD and some people say more survivability makes a better DM/SD. I think it is all about the players preference and playstyle.

Anything past "3 Allies" on your chart is the same as with 3 due to the max target count.
