Dig it.

DEATH TO MONOPOLIES! Make the trams destructible objects please. Can't seem to target them.

Anyone pulling Marauder out the door behind him is griefing the trial and should be dealt with appropriately. It's still two different events:
1: photo-bombing Maurader
2: pulling him out of lambda

1 does not mean 2 will happen. As stated, I've never seen a trial fail because of it, but I've also never done it because I find it stupid.

Thanks yall. Next up is ITF, Katie Hannon and STF. Gotta wait until I-22 lands first though.

There's also the fact that everyone is buffed to the gills. Capped dam-res, softcapped, huge damage buffs...

The hardest part of any trial is having the patience to sit around doing nothing while waiting for it to start.

And thanks to the kind folks on PinnBadges for padding the few times I needed it, tonight I successfully finished soloing the Task Force Commander accolade.

TFCommander solo Run:
Positron 1: 26 mins
Positron 2: 39 mins

Synapse: 80 mins

Sister Psyche: 76 mins

Citadel: 86 mins

Manticore: 70 mins

Numina: 100 mins

Total time to accolade: 7 hours 57 minutes.

Woot.

I brought this up to BAB sometime after the vanguard claws were introduced. With pictures and everything. The rularuu claws have the same issue. No fix was forthcoming. But new people with new eyes so glad it's been brought back up.

Brutes aren't meant to be at 100% fury with no effort. They're meant to be at 100% with an 800 million inf expenditure utilizing the set in a high use attack chain or saturated aura. Or as with normal for our devs, they nerfed so that they could buff in some other way. ED gave us IOs, the fury nerf gave us brute ATO.

Just for the hell of it, I'm crunching claws numbers using 95% fury and 14% crit rate for scrappers on the single target attack chain.

EDIT: That's funny. With my current claws chain/enhancements/etc:
Scrapper 198
Brute 199.5

yea, not seeing a problem here.

EDIT2: Oh, superior goes to 16...
Brute 199.5
Scrapper 201.7

Still not seeing a problem.

So... after reading this thread, I dumped 800million on a full set for the new BZB and stuck it in followup. (Losing my Gaussian CFBU in the process...)

Then I threw him at a pylon and was surprised to see 269% damage buff. That's 9% from set buffs, 60% from double stacked followup and 200% from 100% fury.

Worth every inf.

I like ice cream.

... There's a speed slower than killmaimpillage? I go the same speed on all my brutes and scrappers.

Base values are identical.
Scaling resists in the passives are identical.
No easier to softcap one over the other.

Brutes have higher base hit points get more out of the scaling resists because of it.
Brute evasion has a taunt aura.
Brute SR power order makes more sense but getting quickness so much later in the build can be a downer.

The one Arcanaville mentioned that prompted my reply. Yes, I get lots of shards nightly as well. Now go calculate how many shards it takes to make a T2 incarnate power that isn't an alpha. It's fun!

The hyperbole tag should have been apparent.

/but hey, on the plus side, new exploit to ponder!

I remember the goo change, but nothing that ever stopped me from leeching with my show up at hold phase, get HO, give it to brother cuz I didn't need it plan.

I'll agree that it was supposed to be a raid encounter but it was certainly never that for me. Incarnate content at its introduction was the first time I had encountered raiding-only-for-phat-loot-soloists-can-suck-it syndrome. (Yes, CoH is still the only MMO I've played longer than two weeks.)

Thanks for the work to get it back online, Titan Team.
