Canine

You forgot the important things, like Global Chat (or, as it was briefly known on the old EU forums, Total Cat), EXEMPLARING AND SIDEKICKING, being able to take on more than one mob at once, sheer variety of powersets and combinations thereof, costumes NOT being tied to stats...

OK, sorry, I'm just depressing myself and simultaneously getting annoyed at what's being taken away. <deep breath>

So far as I can tell, I've been spoiled by CoH, no other MMO matches up in enough ways to catch my interest, so I think that's me done with MMO's in the short to medium term

Well, I figure that with 80Bn liquid, I can do that if I decide to, but it was pretty much all stuff that I was keeping because of a bad case of 'too shiny to use' <grin>

:edit:

Oh crud...

I just remembered all the ATO's that are sat in the system waiting to be claimed from all the super packs I burned in an (utterly futile) attempt to get the Black Wolf...

I'm really not sure I can be arsed to claim and sell 'em...

<doffs cap>

Nicely done.

And don't get me thinking about incarnate shinies, all 24 of my 50's are at +3, and half of them have Hybrid too, but only 3 have T4's as I didn't see enough boost from T3 to T4 to be worth the bother.

Oh, I'm not arguing against a metric truckload of corruptors on TRHW runs, but for a single toon, a Sonic/Kin Defender would provide more to a league than a corruptor. Of course if the issue you're trying to resolve is a lack of corruptors on the league, then go Corruptor, Sonic Blast on a Corruptor still provides a very nice league damage buff on a single hard target, just not quite as much as a Defender.

As always, this game to me boils down to 'play what the hell you want to'

If you're planning on doing something like that *purely* to assist, then I'd personally say go with Sonic Blast for the -resist.

And if you're going Sonic Blast/ Kinetics for a pairing, then go for a Kinetics/Sonic Defender, for the stronger -resist attached to the defender's blasts.

All that said though, I personally find that if I'm playing my Kinetics Defender on a trial then I don't really have too much time to blast, as I'm too busy making sure that SB is up to date, ID is applied too, Fulcrum's being used whenever it's recharged, and that I'm hitting Transference and Transfusion regularly too... All that and dodging various patches o' doom means blasting time is limited...

Just my 0.02inf and YMMV, of course

And during a DXP weekend (or when running a double XP booster, I think but don't quote me on that), the end of something like Moonfire *will* cause any non-50's on the team to ding

To quote from the Holy Book of Paragonwiki, Chapter 1 -

So three of those and it's fully slotted for debuff and end cost.

Even one slot with one Enzyme would be a massive slot economy, getting three SO's work out of one HO.

At least I'm assuming that's what he means.

I wouldn't, personally. Perma-AM is too valuable to jeopardise IMO.

Just from glancing at the build, you seem to be doing something similar to what I did on my Beam/Time, which is to build as a blaster with the secondary looking a lot like an afterthought.

Maneuvers looks like a potential good source of slots, since I'd consider 6 slots in there and no LoTG 7.5% to be overslotted, but what do I know?

Hang on.... No Damage enhancement in Lancer shot?!? That's your big single target hitter and you're slotting it as a mez? whuh?

Radiant Aura looks to be underslotted to me too. It may not be a huge heal, but as a self heal it'll help your survivability against any hits that do leak through your rad debuffs.

Sorry, mostly incoherent thoughts here and I'm really not a Rad (or corruptor, TBH) expert in any way, shape or form.

Inf level defined as 'real influence' varies depending on how much you've got, IME.

I used to consider the 16M I had on my main a lot at one point (Issue 3/4).

Then my first toon got to 100M, that was a lot.

Then I inf capped my main. That was a lot.

Nowadays, I've got all my alts capped and 23Bn stored, and I don't think about it. I can afford anything and find I don't actually want anything. (This drives some people up the wall, I've got Billions of inf, and most of my toons run around on SO's <grin>)

Chasing inf for the sake of having inf is a game some people play, some others chase it for builds, and some just acquire it as a habit nowadays (that's me). Don't get stressed about not having as much inf as the next person, it'll come with time, patience and playing the game.

All that is purely IMO, of course.

I can't speak for the Rad Emission side of things, since in 7 and a half years of playing I've never played a Rad, but with i24 around the corner, you may want to try and fit Penetrating Ray (the snipe) in there.

Disintegrate, Snipe (which should spread disint 100% of the time, but I think I may have seen reports on beta that fast snipe isn't 100% spreading disintgrate, not sure on that) then go to work with your other AoE's leveraging all that sudden extra disintegration?

That said, I'm not sure what you'd drop to make space for it. I'd say Force of Nature personally, since I don't like it much with such a huge recharge, and end/recovery crash at the end, but you've got a Steadfast Res/Def in there and nowehere to move it to without losing the 6 part bonus in Temp Invuln.

Swapping out Piercing Beam for it means you lose the -Resist in Piercing, which I'd be loathe to do on a 'support' toon.

Do you really need Aim? I don't have it on my Beam/Time Corruptor and don't struggle, but you'd still need to find slots from somewhere...

Hmm...

I fixed that, since the basic Melee toggle in SR grants confuse protection.

And to be honest? I'll take the debuff protection built into my KM/SR, since it includes perception debuff resist, +recharge, +move speed and DDR above and beyond what my MA/SD gets.

Now the fact that my MA/SD can tear through spawns faster than my KM/SR is another matter entirely, but it's not a fair comparison, since the Shield is partly IO'd and the SR is running on SO's.

:edit: I forgot shield got recharge debuff resist in Grant Cover, so I snipped that bit out...

7 years.
19 Issues.
84 months.
AT PANCAKING LAST!

That is all.

I'm NOT a macro specialist, but....

IIRC, there's a 'convert to red and pop it' bind in TopDocs CEBR thread.

Gimme a min to look.

(insert arbitrary time gap here while I try and remember where I saw the thread months ago)

Disclaimer I've not tested those. I don't know how much button mashing it would take to get them to work in play, but I suspect you'd need to at least hit the macro twice, once to make the insight, once to pop it.

Also, full credit goes to TopDoc for the base macros I just recalled seeing in that thread months ago and have subsequently mangled for this purpose

As a wild stab in the dark, I'd guess that people have been playing low level toons over the weekend, so there haven't been as many purples being generated over the last few days.

I usually give things a month to settle down after a DXP weekend. Of course, for those so inclined, the period of flux after a DXP weekend also offers plenty of opportunities to profit...

Me? I'm too idle to bother. Got more inf than I know what to do with already, so see no point.

Never underestimate the idiocy of buyers <grin>

What's likely happening is that other people are listing stuff lower (possibly far lower) than you, but buyers are only looking at the last 5 prices and not bid creeping, thus keeping the last 5 far higher than the minimum listed prices.

It's also possible that it's not a niche that moves fast, but is one that's consistent.

Add up your crafting costs, salvage costs and recipe costs, add 10%, then decide what minumum profit margin is acceptable to you, add that to the total and list at that price. If stuff still isn't shifting at that price, then you're going to have to employ the marketeers secret weapon - Patience.

Unfortunately, as you're on a self imposed time restriction,then patience may not be an option.

Anyway, good luck with this, hopefully some of the above drivel is of some use.

Why is it a problem?

There has to be something acting as a brake on potentially unbridled character power. Choices and tradeoffs needed in an IO build seem like as good a brake as anything else. You shouldn't be able to have everything and the moon on a stick too IMO.

The pet change/fix has no effect at all on TRHW, as if you're taking out lights for level shifts, you're not going to get TRHW.

Flying to avoid the lightning? Sounds like an exploit that got fixed. Just learn to spot the warning and run away...

Bring -resist debuff. LOTS of -resist. Sonic blast defenders, Sonic Resonance, sleet, etc. etc.

Also, bring enough Kineticists to have everyone damage capped. Stay in tight to Tyrant for buffs and heals, and hurt him as hard as you can.

A mix of support/Buff sets for +resist, +defence and healing is also needed.

As Ohms said, Ultimate inspirations are NOT optional. Everyone should have one active at all times during the Tyrant fight, and 5 or 6 is enough so that if you DO faceplant, you've got a spare.

So far as I understand the mechanic, once you hit your first Burst of Speed, you've got 10 seconds to use the other two, at which point the power starts recharging.

Using Burnout after 2 jumps but before the 10 seconds is up probably wouldn't do anything, since the power's not yet recharging.

Using it after 3 jumps? Until the set goes on beta to test out I haven't a clue whether it'd recharge it or not. I don't see why not in principle, since it's a secondary pool power, but that all depends on what jiggery-pokery is going on under the surface to get it to work as it does^H^H^H^H appears to from the twitch stream.

Could be, but I like the Penelope Yin theory more, given what appears to the the Yin Corp emblem on the building in the picture.
