I don't think bAss is aware that there are other settings for the slider in question. I'm beginning to suspect he also designed Mother Mayhem in the BAF...

Did someone say Criminally insane?

Yep. Fury gives you a damage buff across the board so all of your extra DoT from Fire will be affected.



The only things not affected are powers specifically marked as not accepting buffs such as Sands of Mu and the Judgement powers.

So when are you guys fixing the Server Transfers to allow EU and US people to move their characters about properly?

It would, if that made any sense whatsoever (not a dig at you, just at that ludicrous bit of 'lore' someone dreamed up at Paragon Studios).

Aye, I was thinking about this aspect of it last night myself and the swarms of Claws/Regen scrappers all called l0g4NN which would overwhelm the servers.

Certainly I'd make it so that, for example, only F2P Defenders and Corrupters could be Kinetics, for Controllers you have to pay to gain access to the set. Like you said make it so certain sets are special and need to be purchased separately.

EATs would obviously also fall into that bracket, or might be soley a Subscriber only feature.

Demon Summoning would be part of the GR pack, I'm not sure I'd allow it to be purchasable by any other method, I'm assuming GR would be kept as a distinct package as it is now (although splitting it up and selling components of it for 10-15 dollars apiece might earn you more cash).

I'd actually go further.

Have to pay a one-time fee for access to a large number of powersets. Most powersets would be gated behind "Pay for" access. Each AT would only have 2-4ish powersets available for Free2Players. They have to pay for others
Have to pay for > 40 content .
Have to pay for a large number of the cossie options. Cossies are nowadays conveniently grouped together as outfits so you could decide how many are initially available and how many are pay for.
Have to pay individually for access to the RWZ, Ouro, Midnighters & Cim.
Have to pay for access to the IO system and Wentworths.
Have to pay for access to the MA.

Edit : I forgot one : Have to pay for access to the forums, with maybe an exception for a specific Free 2 play Questions board ("You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious").

However having said all of this I'm not sure NCSoft / Paragon Studios could do the legwork needed to set-up and adminstrate to this fine a level in this game.

Ooops, you're right. Silly me.

Erm, I mean obviously I'm talking about the rare Fiery Aura / Shield Offense scrappers

And what do they say about people who assume? I assume it's something derogatory?

That's the coincidence! They are BOTH different to each other!

I assume this is chiefly because of the insane proccage and Burn, which is getting fixed with the next patch.

No, they're thinking of Arctic Fog, the copy of Steamy Mist. It offers resistances, some positional defense and stealth.

I'm the opposite. Death of a team-mate = Power Boosted Vengie for all. So I'm not adverse to seeing someone keel over for the Greater Good ("The Greater Good")


Fort I tend to stick on the Crabbies, Domis and Blasters. AB I tend to stick on the Warshade, Brutes and Corruptors.


But that's an incredibly rough rule of thumb which is subject to change according to what powersets people have, what we're fighting and what they are doing (a Scrapper standing toe-to-toe with a Trial AV without other support will also get Fort, the Trapper, Plant Domi or Illusion Controller dealing with the adds may end up with AB on them so they can get their distracting pets up more often).


Tanks only get buffed if they seem to need it (ie are struggling to stay alive). This is more because I play a Plant/Emp and quite often there's plenty of people buffing Mr Tank anyway.

I assume you mean Synaptic Overload, not JC. CC should have a chance to proc with every jump as each jump can be affected by Confusion set IOs.


In Jolting Chain all procs will have a chance to go off on every jump, with the exception of any from End Mod sets, because the chained attacks don't do -End, only the initial one.


In Arctic Air the CC proc will check against everyone within range of AA (which is nice and big) every 10 seconds. I believe it spawns a small AOE confuse effect centred on the target if it does proc but I don't know the radius etc.


That's how the "chance of" secondary effects in Psi Shockwave in Psi Assault is set up. And yet it's missing from Whirling Hands (but is present in Bone Smasher).


Overall I think Ice Control could do with AA getting something out of Domination. A second 15-25% chance of a longer duration confuse would probably be a good move. It would mean AA becomes more effective vs Minions and Lieuts and slightly more so vs bosses.

Yep, at higher levels the animation time makes it a bit annoying and unneeded.

There's a few places you could find it a lifesaver. Vs bosses, especially really mean bosses like Night Widow who shrug off your holds it can be really useful. Mind you in my case I'm playing a Elec/NRG domi so Power Push fills in that weakness for me nicely.


As a cheap-to-slot power it's pretty handy to have and I do love the effect of a ripple of knockdowns passing through a spawn.


Don't forget that your Gremlins have it too, so they'll often do the work for you anyway (one of the most underrated things about the sparkly little aggro magnets IMO)

Erm, pretty sure this isn't the case. The chance for end might work this way, for a good reason (chains don't have -end) but other procs from the ranged damage and knockdown sets should propagate.

Edit : sorry, it's the Chance for Stun from the end mod set which won't work in the chains. In fact it might be broken overall.

The chance for hold definitely does, I have it myself and the Chance for -end should as it's from Ranged Damage too (I gave that slotted too but it is harder to see in action). The damage proc from knockdown should almost certainly work too.

Range will only affect the first blast, from you to the first enemy. The damage is pretty pants too. It's the same as cages without containment.

Acc and maybe a few procs is probably the way to go. The chance for hold from the ranged set isn't bad in it.

that's absolutely brilliant. One of the best cossies I've seen in a long, long time.

Max out damage and recharge first, each proc will only add 1.4 dps on average against an av or gm which is piddly really.

No, it's a 75% chance of a 5% damage debuff.

Which unless you're fighting an AV makes it about half as useful as the chance of a 5% -ToHit Diamagnetic does (plus -damage doesn't stack with your Resistences in the same way as -ToHit stacks with your defense).
