  1. That is cool. Wonder if that means other disparities are being dealt with at the same time like the lack of physical perfection/conserve power for brutes.

    The food is farking fantastic. You will leave very full.
  3. If I'm logged in, I'd probably join in.

    No problem.
  5. Slamming folks in the face with fire takes finesse?

    I had thought that scrappers didn't get mace and axe because they were so close mechanically to broadsword.

    I don't think your view on this is wrong, however. I just see no reason not to port them all when the "skill based" scrapper concept was already questionable with dark and fire melee.

    Crippling? Of course not. Annoying to the point of deletion? Yup.
  8. I'll start using them when the devs change them to be account based storage for enhancements, recipes, inspirations and inf.

    Not even remotely.

    Sadly, it isn't just the survivability issue. Before I deleted her, the PB was using both builds. One human only and the other tri-form. I had just hit 20 but respeced so that I could use the khel respec cheat to overslot the forms.

    The character's survivability was higher on the tri-form build. It's damage output was also higher. Unsurprisingly, being stuck in the forms and dealing with the known flakiness of form shifting ripped the fun I had been having as human-only right out of it.

    For me, those are the two choices with a PB: Be weak but have some fun doing it, or be less weak but have no fun doing it.

    Not acceptable choices.
  11. It is true that I judge all my characters on their ability to solo.

    The fact that I've got corruptors and a dom that solo better than an AT with 3 self-heals and damage resistance toggles says a lot to me.

    I think it a safe bet that Castle has probably been poked enough about EM to force him to have a constant IV running blood replacement therapy.
  13. Somewhat on topic... I deleted my new peacebringer. The AT has nothing about it to make it worthwhile for me at this time.

    If Castle ever gets around to tweaking it so that it's more on par with its WS counterpart, I'll take another look.

    Until then, I've got plenty of other characters that are actually enjoyable. No point wasting a character slot on something that isn't.
  14. I'm a convert. Especially having just logged off my fm/sd scrapper. He dinged 14. Normally I'd be sticking with DOs, but the first thought in my head was "I hate defense builds before 22." The second thought was "so slap a steadfast set in True Grit."

    And then my mind started getting silly so I logged off.
  15. I recant my prior statement. In the testing I saw, the times between drops were too long to say one way or the other.

    What is the standard time for rep reset? Is it also 10 minutes?
  16. I've got the house to myself this weekend and planned to drink heavily and hit the spreadsheets again.

    I do not believe, based on prior calcs, that SS on scrappers is any more of a problem than claws on brutes. Same goes for EM.
  17. Please tell me you were saturating AAO during that...
  18. I don't believe that the death cry end drain is autohit. I could be wrong, of course, but I seem to recall ignoring it completely when I'm fighting carnies.
  19. 10 mins means 10 mins from what has been observed so far.
  20. On each post of yours, click the scales icon as if you were giving rep to yourself. It pops up telling you what rep you currently have and whether that particular post received any rep. If it did, then you see some of the comments. Maybe all of them. Not sure on that.

    EDIT: Oh, I see... you have to open each post.

    Nope. The Kheldian taint still exists. I don't mind it. More enemies mean more rewards. Only the ignorant and/or weak have a problem with that.
  22. Yup. Search for all of your posts. On each one, click the rep thing until you find the comment.
  23. Going off the spreadsheet in the thread has the wrong damage values for brute claws. Back then I thought were were getting a straight port of scrapper claws.

    Using the current values, I show replacing strike with gloom to bump it from 195 to 211 DPS. And that's still not considering any procs.

    Damnit. Ok... this weekend I work on spreadsheets.

    I see I'm not alone on this at all.

    Bill Z Bubba exists on every server. He's level 50 on Pinnacle and level 1 everywhere else as nothing but a name grab. If I could do it on the servers across the pond, I would.
