I'll likely be a VIP untill the servers shut down. I just can't imagine myself not wanting access to everything, including Incarnate content.

Quote:My first DA was a Spines Scrapper before IOs, I made it work. *shrugs* It takes getting used to it all for sure, but I wouldn't say it's only playable by one AT.Originally Posted by EvilRyu
I do slot for end and it still does not make a difference. Hell thats pretty much the first thing I did. The first few attempts I did with DA just did not work out on a scrapper and a brute, but with a stalker I was able to make it work but only after going all out on end set bonuses and using the end proc. A power set should not be playable only on 1 out of 4 ATs its ported to. -
Quote:Or maybe you just need to learn to slot for ENDRED?Originally Posted by EvilRyu
So playing a powerset that needs IOs just to function thats still the equivalent of a super hero with asthma is balanced? I think not. THe set basically forces you to choose from staying alive or attacking and nots really that much more survivable compared to other sets and is probably worse in alot of situtations
Really, I've had no problem with using SOs on a DA. And just recently put in a +END Proc (at level 29) in Stamina and the +END PRoc in Dark Regen, and I did fine on the END before then. -
Quote:Have you thought about KIN/EA?Originally Posted by Nalrok_AthZim
I have a Dark/Kin Tanker already. I suppose I should list what I don't want to play.
No Dark Armor, no Regeneration, no SR, no Fiery Aura. Done those too much.
I'm feeling Kin/Shield or Kin/Will, or even Kin/Elec.
Still looking for suggestions. -
Quote:I'm quite enjoying it paired with /DA. -DMG, KD's, Stuns, just a grab bag of helpful survival tools in the set to help rely on Dark Regen less, plus a damage aura that gets the +DMG bonus from Power Siphon.Originally Posted by Nalrok_AthZim
Just what the title said. I'm not well versed in Scrapper secondaries outside of /Regen, so I'd like some info and perspective on potential Kinetic Melee combinations.

Quote:Mind you, by work around I mean willing to slot some ENDRED. More work if you want the nonstop attack chain of course, but when isn't that an issue.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
End issues? Sweet.
This is going to make it a great example when I roll a Titan/Dark Armor scrapper.
I'm loving the set.
Finally get a Bu...Razor Sword, and I would of been happy having it as a Katana Weapon Skin.

Quote:I'll have to disagree. I have a heal that gets me close to a 50% heal, every 14-18 seconds.Originally Posted by JayboH
I agree, I always thought the problem was massively severe end cost for a heal that is generally overkill in the majority of PVE.
Which is much like Reconstruction, only now I'm using WAY more END for a little less on the heal.
But the advantage imo, is in normal PVE play, which I've used it as such. Close to a sliver of life...DARK REGEN of the mobs! \o/ Full Health! Whooot!
And I've found times where going to full health was enough of a deciding factor over Reconstruction's less than full heal over the same amount of time.
Also, Dark Regen does damage.
Maaaybe it can use an ENDRED, I wouldn't be opposed to one mind you, I just think for any change to DA, I'd rather have the one I mentioned earlier in the thread than any other change. -
Quote:If it auto hit, it would lose it's damage. The damage isn't much, but some of us quite like it.Originally Posted by JayboH
Is that the issue? Would you rather that dark regen be autohit?
-
Enjoying the set. Is there END issues? Yes. Are they able to be worked around? You betcha!
If you're the type of player that says "I hate dealing with any and all END issues" this set isn't for you.
If you're the type of player that says "I'm willing to have higher end costs for even bigger numbers" then this set just maybe for you. -
I still think the only change DA needs is for it's Negative Energy Resist to cap. Other than that, DA I find fine exactly where it is now.

Okay, this is my planned build...not optimal by any stretch, it's more like making the best out of a concept.

So, looking over the build, I have FIVE (5) +1.25 (Energy/Negative), and TWO (2) +1.25% (Energy)/+1.25% (Negative) Defense bonuses.
Now Mids is giving me the bonuses to all those, but do the bonuses from the Thunderstrikes not combine with the bonuses from Reactive Armor and Cleaving Blow?
Is this a bug with Mids or is this how it is in game? -
Hmmm...on my KM/DA Scrapper, I haven't found a problem with Dark Regen. This is why you slot 3 ENDRED in it when you're working with SOs.

Quote:The builders don't get any damage boost. The combo level is what gives the finishers their damage boost. And that resets whenever a Finish hits.Originally Posted by DeathHarvester
This is probably a stupid question/thought, but. . . .
after you've built up your level 3 combo you can use a finisher and your granted a very nice boost to it's damage then you start the combo all over again. Unless I'm mistaking, when you've got a level 3 combo built up all your attacks including the builders gets the damage boost. With that being said has anyone tried an attack chain using only builders to see what the DPS would be? I've been messing around with a few of my StJ toons and I'm able to keep the combo 3 damage boos perma if I keep using my builders. I would try and figure out the DPS on a builder attack chain myself, but I don't know how to go about figuring out DPS. If anyone would care to explain how to figure it out that would be grealty appreciated aswell.
Thanks for your time!!! -
Quote:Nope it won't be the same. The question is, "Will it be better or worse" and usually this type of things leads one to think worse. :/Originally Posted by Sevenpenny

Quote:No joke! People still think vampires are these fanged, essence of cool, creatures created by hollywood, and yet can't back a vampire with sparkles. I just don't get it.Originally Posted by ClawsandEffect
Sadly, a lot of people really do think this way.
Hollywood's version of things trumps any actual myths or legends in people's minds. Nevermind that Hollywood's version differs from a legend that is many centuries old, they made it a MOVIE, so the MOVIE is what is true.
I don't have a problem with the suggestion, but I'm not going to hold my breath on seeing it. -
Hmmm...I was thinking the -Def/-Resist in Slowed Response might need to be lower for Melee, but I was basing a lot of that off of Melt Armor and it's numbers.

Quote:And that can all be taken into account and made into an awesome set.Originally Posted by Twilightdusk
I guess it would be a bit more complicated to implement than I just thought, I just thought it would be a nice option for more magic-based characters.
A powerset centered around the staff, having various attacks that can shift between a few elements, would be pretty cool to have, though I'm not sure what balance implications, if any, there would be for such a thing (IE: someone with Fire Blast has to deal with the fact that some enemies are resistant to fire. Someone with this powerset could just switch to a different damage type.) After all, I know that Dual Pistols can do a similar thing, and I've also heard Dual Pistols rather disparaged on the Blaster forums.
In any event, I'll say that if this sort of thing ever gets implemented, I'd love to see the ability to set an alternate animation for Fly/Hover involving the staff. But I guess this is a bit much of a suggestion to begin with. -
In Living Color was good! For the first, probably what another poster said, four seasons. But then it went down hill, when it started losing original cast members.
However, figure this won't have that cast either, sooo
It's a return sure, but in name only really. Only time will tell if it's any good.
-
I have a complaint here (and this is with me thinking that Stalkers do need something done).
Yes, Assassination is Stalker Inherent. However, they also have Crits now. I can't recall if they original only critted from Hide, or if they did from Hide and also off mezzed enemies, or if that later was added further down the line.
Basically I'm saying, Stalkers have Crits, which is the exact same thing Scrappers get for their ineherent.
So I'm not so sure Hide should be made inherent now. If it is done, and a new power is put into place, this may however take the place of (what I at least think they need instead) higher damage.
Something to think about. -

People need to learn to mask hunt in Sharkhead... or Dark Astoria. Or Bloody Bay? Heck, Talos is the only place I can think of where the masks disappear during the day.
Now Spectral Pirates, THERE'S a cause worth rooting for!

Quote:With that wording...Originally Posted by Leo_G
If you took the time to press quote, then it serves is purpose of:
1. Stating grievances with the direction of the game and people reading it while...
2. Not being off topic.
Any new issue threads involving add-ons to Brutes/Tankers/Scrappers I find will get the same reminder until Stalkers receive just as much attention as them.
Dev1: We've made a new set for melee!
Dev2: Can all melee ATs use it?
Dev1: Well, let's see! *examines all 4 melee ATs* No.
Dev2: Which ones can't use it?
Dev1: Stalkers. I tried but just couldn't make it work at this time. Possibly never.
Dev2: Well, at least we gave all the melee ATs are attention with this set. Let's make it happen!

Quote:Whew. That's actually nice to hear! I was a bit worried that it might seem OPed.Originally Posted by Aett_Thorn
I don't see any "OMG OP!" in this set. I think it's actually very underpowered when compared to other sets. The reason for this is that a decent amount of it's protection comes from the Time's Juncture clone, which means that it depends on debuffs for basic protection. There are a couple of problems with this:
1) Debuffs degrade against high-level enemies. Unlike a +Def or +Res shield, this power would get a double-wammy hit on it for a melee AT against higher level enemies. Not only does the enemy hit harder, but the debuffs are weaker, meaning that you get hit even harder still (meanwhile, with personal shields, the enemies only have the level increase to damage applied, not the resistance to your shield).
2) Unless it tics really fast, you can get hit with an alpha strike before the -ToHit and -DMG go into effect, meaning that you take a higher proportion of the alpha strike than a similar +Def or +Res shield would take, where their protection is constantly on. This would be especially important for lower-level characters, who would be relying on this for their entire protection scheme.
Given that, I'd say that you need more protection in some of the other powers, at least to S/L damage or something.
I find on my Dark and Time Corrs/Defenders/MMs, that Defense with -ToHit seems to work okay, I didnt notice to much of a degrade...is that on higher level enemies than +2?
Note: I dont recall their performance on +4, I just recall them on +2 being okay.
Could add S/L Resist to Quick Responce. Gives people a reason to Slot it up, which I find on quite a few builds people tend to ignore slotting up the PSI resists.
But then, putting S/L Resist might be going to far on the set when people fully IO it out? Not to sure on that. Could increase the -tohit some, so it's not as degraded perhaps?
To Von: Yes, I believe it was, but then I believe it was the last new Defense Armor created for Melee ATs, wasn't it?
I also think besides the name of the set, this set could work for a variety of concepts. Not just "I manipulate time"
I was worried on it stepping on Ninjitsu's toes, but I think it's different enough not to. With Ninja being close to what it is, but with more toys. -
I'm still trying to get "/em kissit" as an alternate animation for Taunt/Confront.
