  1. I don't always solo, but when I do, I prefer it for the high drop rates.

    As mentioned, why can't we have a proper resolution?

    We get one for Team Teleport, why not Mystic Fortune?

    Option: Accept Mystic Fortune: Enabled/Disabled

    Done. Yes, I realize this takes work.
  3. If they insist on keeping the prompt in they need to make it where I can set it to auto-accept. Simple as that. Doing anything less creates and unnecessary nuisance. I do not want that gods damned popup showing up in the middle of combat. It pisses me off.

    My day is now ruined. My faith destroyed!!!

    In all seriousness, I'll crank up a BS/Shield the day BS gets ported to brutes.

    Ummm, excuse me, last I checked I hadn't died.
  5. Wonder what else was changed. My performance in Mercy dropped by 15FPS.

    It's Pinnacle. There will be plenty of drunks showing up. Everyone that does show up should do so redside.

    I'll solo the blueside spawns.
  7. Shader quality gets locked to high if ANY ultra mode options are enabled. Go through the list and kill em off.
  8. I don't play on this server. I just came by to tell the OP: You rock. There is NOTHING in this game that brings a smile to my face faster than a team full of KB throwing psychos.

    Me and my Claws-Shockwave salute you! Makes me want to crank that energy/storm corruptor back up.
  9. For +0/x8 diff, I'm changing my vote to Claws/FA.

    You don't need massive mitigation at +0. You just need enough. FA would provide "enough." Then you get Followup, Fiery Embrace, Blazing Aura, Spin, Eviscerate.

    Kill speed will be obscene.
  10. It lasts 5.25 (or 5) seconds instead of buildup's normal 10 seconds. There may or may not be a cooldown period associated with it. I've never gotten a straight answer for that.
  11. The defense soft cap is 45% for everyone.

    Facts always work better than wishful thinking.

    For the record, however, the chain I used for BS was later in the thread shown to be a bad choice. BS DPS can certainly get higher than I reported, but it still won't get up there with the big boys.

    It's not really a big deal. A BS/Shielder saturating AAO is going to push higher than my claws/sr will ever be able to touch.
  14. Wolverine sucks at tanking and falls down a lot. Sure, he gets back up, but in the meantime his teammates get their butts kicked.

    So I'd suggest Claws/Shield Defense... oh, if only it were possible, the fun we could have.
    *growlcussgrumblecuss*
  16. I'll throw another vote for claws/inv. WP's taunt aura is pretty dang weak and as a scrapper you would be struggling to hold it against the massive firepower coming from a nova form PB and a blaster. Hell, even with Inv you're going to have to work at it.

    Invincibility + spin + eviscerate should get the job done, though. However, once that PB turtles up into dwarf form and starts taunting, forget about it. Let him tank and between the two of you the blaster will never get a hit in on him.

    Simple.

    1: New Option: Disable Offline SG Invites

    2: New Option: Enable Offline SG invites only from Self

    Problem solved.

With Hero ATs their inherent is always on from the start so I will stick with them.

    By the way , can a player reach Perma Dom without IOs? I am not interested in building a house on Corrupt foundations. The genetics of the archetype has always been and will always be ...defective. And lets not forget the Purple triangles. Do they still exist ? Lol probably. If so how do you do with them on your target ? Does that new damage help you any ? I doubt it cause the AT is so fragile and helpless without controls.
    It's at this point it's safe to say everything you post can be ignored from here on out.

    The damage buff from domination was removed. To balance this, the base damage a dominator puts out was increased considerably. The Jekyll and Hyde feel of the set is GONE. That fact that you're attempting to use it as a case for a "lack of developer attention" without having even played with the change proves that you're more interested in ******** and moaning rather than seeking any kind of necessary alteration to the game. I use domination more for the endurance return than the double mag/duration.

    Your followup paragraph does nothing but put emphasis on your erroneous beliefs. The extra base damage helps Every encounter.

    Give up now. There are already a multitude of threads regaring EM, FA and tanks. Join one of them. You don't have the necessary knowledge to spearhead change in this game.

    Skipping powers in a set and then complaining it sucks is rather silly.
    True, but taking all the powers in a set and properly slotting them and THEN finding that the set still under performs the other sets for the archetype in question is reason for pause and consideration. I find that I must agree with the OP in that EA's recent buffs were not enough.

    Quote:
    I'm not big into melee characters, but I believe single-target DPS charts still show EM as the leader.
    Negative. Due to the energy transfer nerf, it has lost its top dog status, has the worst AoE output of melee sets and the mitigation it provides is not enough to make up for its failings.

    On Fiery Aura, Castle has recently stated that he's looking at it.

    On tanks, it is my belief that after GR goes live, we will see some adjustment made to tanks, but I do not believe it will affect their damage output.

    As for the rest, a post like the OP's will not sway the developers. It comes across as too much an attack rather than a request. A much more convincing case for change will have to be made before they will listen.

    /SR AV solo'er

    I concur that DM is probably the way to go. While I've soloed plenty of AVs with my claws/sr, having a self-heal as part of my attack chain would have allowed me to take down many more.

    No way. I try to keep me developer harassment localized to Castle and BAB.

    Has anyone asked The Television whether this is true?
  24. Until I start seeing real-world game benchmarks showing a 50-75% gains in FPS, I will have to consider SLI/Crossfire to be not worth the money.
  25. pssssst... claws has a third AoE in eviscerate. FU, Evis, Spin, Shockwave, repeat is easily done. You can even remove SW and still have a fluid chain with the first three. Perhaps someone could do a pretty write up for average AoE output between the two sets for brutes so that we can put the little argument of SS's *supposed* AoE dominance to rest.
