You should be able to layer resistance on top of defense based sets.
As it stands, just about anyone can use IOs to become an SR scrapper. (Minus the DDR.)
Why can't folks use IOs in the same way to become an Inv scrapper? -
I'm already an incarnate of myself.

Whats CCC? And who else would be controlling it? -
My MA/SD scrapper hit 22 last night. I've been soloing at +0/x2 since about level 5.
Deflection has been 6 slotted 3dam-res/3def since I think level 7.
True grit has 3health.
While it is true that ALL defense sets pretty much suck before SOs, having the trouble you describe implies bad build decisions.
EDIT: My main issue has been endurance usage. But now that I have 2 SOs in stamina at 22, that problem has gone away. -

While I agreed with her point, Arcana like to beat down folks with her intellect. Especially, when like here, you push one of her pet peeve buttons. It's one of the reasons, I'm still not sold on the idea that she is a she. Typically only us guys have such a (just or unjust) high opinion of ourselves.

I'm at a loss. That was all going off memory from when I had an nvidia card. At this point, all we have left is for you to go ahead and post the info from cohhelper as Zombie Man requested. It will tell us various things about your OS, drivers, etc as well as game and graphics settings.
I checked your other screenshots and in those it appeared that FSAA was working but anisotropic filtering seemed wonky. Crank AF to 16X and see if that odd wavy pattern on top of a train station goes away.
Wait... you said the base items look just as bad on your mate's rig? Does anyone else have those crystals in their base? Do you have any other SG mates that could take a screenshot of your crystals? Perhaps it's just those that are globally broken? -
Supposedly 1 defense = 2 dam-res.
Would I like to be able to get at least half of the dam-res to all that I can get for positional defense to melee, range and aoe?
Ummm, yes. -
Impish Kat,
Turn off Environmental Reflections completely. That's an Ultra Mode setting. Having it enabled at all means you're now in Ultra mode.
Drop World Detail to 100% or less. 200% is pounding the snot out of your vid card.
Set World Texture to max.
Let the game managed FSAA and Anisotropic Filtering. Set them both to Application Controlled in the Nvidia Control Panel. Your card isn't good enough for 8X FSAA. Try 4X or 2X instead.
Are you actually running multiple monitors? If not, set Multi-Display in NCP to Single Display mode.
Make the changes in the NCP first with the game shut down. Then get in game and make changes there.
Any better? -

The Devs have themselves stated, repeatedly, that having an EAT unlock at fifty was a misstep. It encouraged people to PL to 50 to unlock the EAT and worse, it encouraged perception of the EATs as 'reward' or 'uber' ATs, a misperception which still harms Kheldian popularity today (VEATs too, but less so since they were introduced so much later).

Quote:It sucks... cuz you have to fix it now... but you gotta admit, man, looking at it laid out like that, it's REALLY FUNNY.Originally Posted by Castle
So, instead of:
Brutes 3' scale 1.8, 20' scale 1.275
Tankers 3' scale 2.04, 20' 1.445
Scrappers 3' scale 2.7, 20' scale 1.9125
We get:
Brute 20' scale 2.4
Tanker 20' scale 2.712
Scrapper 20' scale 3.6
That REALLY sucks.

Quote:Doesn't matter. There's no way they will allow a level 1 character to start the game with all the buff accolades and there's no way they could split out the badges that grant accolades and allow all the others to go to the new level 1.Originally Posted by BBQ_Pork
Unlike the usual AT-respec, the new character actually starts out at L1, rather than remain a L50 (or less).
Ain't happening. -

Yeah, that first enemy actually gives you 12.5% plus the 6.875%.
Look at it like the 12.5% benefit of the power is a "are there enemies in range" check, and the first mob counts as giving you 6.875% for being an enemy.
well ****. -
Quote:Can someone explain to me why this isn't wrong? Sarrate has the same value but I've been utilizing 12.5% for the first enemy and 6.875% for the next 9, totally 10 enemies.
12.5% + 6.875% * 10 = 81.25%.
Are yall stating that the first enemy actually grants 19.375% buff? -
Quote:Negative. The time sink is for badging in general.
Because the "time sink" argument is essentially saying that there is some sort of subset of the subscriber base that likes to farm badges with a single toon only, reroll that toon occasionally, and then farm them again. That's quite ridiculous.
I've only gotten all the buff accolades three times. This third time WAS due to me deleting my main villain, em/fa brute, and rerolling him as a dm/wp brute.
Would I have been happy as a kid in a candy store if I hadn't needed to bother with that drudgery again? Oh hell yea. However, that was the in game price I had to pay for rerolling.
And that's a price the devs aren't going to give up. They've already stated in no uncertain terms that a full archetype/powerset respec is NEVER going to happen. You get to 50 on some X/Y character, get all the badges and then decide you want a different badger? That's your choice. The devs will not be letting you move all those badges from the soon to be deleted character to a new one. -
Quote:Damn, counts me out. Some players just don't deserve respect.
To play with honor & respect for all other players
EDIT: Now having read the thread... I obviously missed a bunch of drama while soloing so much. I don't even know who this PureAmerican dork is... but I have to agree... anyone that keeps paying a subscription for a game they haven't played in two years has some rather serious retardation issues going on. Although I'm sure the devs dig the free money. -
Badges are a time sink. Alts are a time sink. They don't make badges global for this specific reason. What you're requesting is not functionally different than just making all badges global.
Then I get to create a new level 1 that has all the accolades out of the box. It ain't gonna happen. -
Quote:Right on about FA, Castle.Originally Posted by Castle
This:
is the point my temple began to ache. There shouldn't be a 50% disparity in max performance here. I'm not too concerned about the protection levels shields can generate; it'll be needed. The DDB Resist is higher than designed, but, again, not really the major concern here.
AAO, actually looks fine. The maximum boost it can generate isn't that large.
Shield Charge isn't bad, basically it can get you to 2 scale 0.7 aoe's on, at best, an 19.5 second cycle time (ignoring Arcanatime, for the moment.) Then again, to get that, you've got a +400% Recharge, which is freakin' huge.
That leads me to believe the discrepancy lies with the primary sets Fire Melee and Dark Melee. Fire is MEANT to have higher DPS overall, so that's 'fine.' Dark Melee, not so much. I'd have to look at specific builds and slotting to see what's going on there, but that's a project I don't have time for now.
Several folks have suggested via PMs and in this thread that I look at Fiery Aura again; to bring it's performance up a bit. I'll see what I can do.
About the damage output on FM/SD and DM/SD, please note(!!!!) that I was comparing my claws/sr to those. SR gives no damage buff at all. That DM/SD is using Saturated soul drain AND AAO. All a claws/sr has is doublestacked followup.
I reiterate, repeat, rewarn, say again, we're talking about a specific set of circumstances against a pylon and leveraging two damage buffs that are based on the presence of enemies with a radius specifically designed to achieve maximum single target DPS.
MAX AAO buff plus MAX SD buff against double stacked FU.
That's damage buffs of 74.375+140= 214.375 versus 75
If I were a allowed to build a claws/sd, we'd be talking about 241.375 versus 149.375 instead and that would most assuredly change the DPS values.
ANOTHER EDIT: And it should be mentioned that I have NOT built my claws/sr for max DPS. To do so would require a loss of mitigation that I did not wish to accept. That said, on paper I've gotten claws to punch up higher than 200 DPS. A claws/fa with FE cranked to the walls would be able to push even closer to what the DM/SD is pushing out. Just sayin.... -
If you PvP, the extra defense can and will be useful to you. As will the extra endurance recovery if you're fighting someone that can sap you.
If you don't PvP, then I wouldn't (and don't) bother with it. -

Actually, Katie's right. Unless you think you'd have a use for an adapter like that in the future, don't bother. Just yank the HD from the laptop, shutdown your desktop, grab a sata data and power cable, hook them directly to the laptop HD, boot up the desktop, copy your data over, shutdown, reinstall into laptop, ship it out.
