    Bolded for emphasis and Mace Scrappers.

    It definitely doesn't work with creepers, flytrap, or animated stone.
    it wouldn't be ridiculous on pets because of the stacking limit of no more than 6x with the dot portion of reactive I believe

    Sorry I meant the recharge from spiritual
  4. Pets are supposed to be able to "deliver" the proc to your target. Unless interface is bugged for MMs I know reactive is.

    Interface can only stack 4 times
  5. Which alpha goes best with each set??? There isn't really a best for each set as much as a best for each build. What are lacking most? accuracy? go nerve! Damage? go musculure, Endurance? go cardiac!

    Spiritual won't benefit your pets or any of your alpha abilities directly but will make your non pet and alpha powers recharge much faster

    I'm going muscular on my bots/traps/mu

    It can be fun to pull out the rifle.

    How did you get the void gun?
    Gonna have to Oro that arc then for both the rifle and the droes.

    Say does anyone know if you can still use oroborous to access missions from your old allegiance?

    Lore pets take MM style commands?
  8. Not sure if i'd remember it even if i saw it again but thx for the images. How does one get a rikti rifle temp power?

    This is similar to a bug that Protector bots had a while back with seeker drones, they would continually try and buff them, but because the drones were unaffected by the buff it never registered, so they kept trying to apply it over and over... I assume its a similar reason with the invincible lore pets.

    So if your a bots MM don't take the Invincible pets till they fix this, bug it if you have one. I have submitted a report and I'll post any follow up I get here. I'm not happy that I've got to go back and re craft up to Rare just to have something that works with my bots now.
    wait seeker drones cant be buffed?

I never had anymore accidental afk encounters since then but I'm sure its still possible,as the OP's whole BAF league were the vistors,heh.
    Lmao how long ago was that?

    And the funny thing is, this isn't a novel bug. It's just very old. Back when Newspaper missions first showed up, you could occasionally zone in to find yourself in someone else's mission...And if they were of the opposite alignment, you could both be flagged for PvP.
    that is awesome lmao

    I have had a single Rare reward table, and the rest Commons. Seems fine to me - common table is indeed common

If you are looking at taking away damage just for survivability, then you could easily alternate between these two, to try to cover the gaps that they leave. It wont completely cover the gaps, but definitely help.
    Ok thanks guys I think i might go void, barrier and paralytic(?) the one that applies -dmg to ever attack

    This works if you type the name of the power in as well. For instance, typing in [Power:Judgement.Ion Radial Judgement] or [Mastermind_Buff.Force Field.Force Bubble] will enable you to see those two powers as well.
    cool that's probably what it was thx Zap
  16. I was in galaxy city hall a few weeks ago on my lvl 50 hero on freedom after a respec and one of the players there was demonstrating their costume/poses and a temp power I had never seen before. It was a neat looking gun possibly the orestes rifle(I honestly don't remember) but somehow and I honestly don't know how but I was able to pull up a window with details of said weapon just like if "I" had the power right clicked it and went to info; I definitely did not have the power. I asked the player how it was that I could see details about the power as if it were mine but he had no idea. Does anyone have any ideas? I wish I took a screen shot

    The +HP might work good for pets. I might also suggest you try the Barrier buff tree so you can get +RES and +DEF for your pets and yourself. Between those two, they're both good choices for keeping pets alive, if that's your goal.

    The buff pets heal you and give you DEF. You may or may not care or want that, if your pets are taking damage instead of you. Otherwise, the Warworks damage pets are really powerful. But if you prefer ranged pets, the Clockwork damage pets do really great AoE damage (and would work well with bots).

    Other options are fine.
    Thanks for the info I would never have known about the bug with the dot proc that gives me pause but I wont be able to play again until next friday at earliest so lets hope it's fixed by then.

    Yes keeping the pets alive and buffed was a big part of my decision making and I was recently considering barrier too but then I thought how much value can i get out of the +res part of barrier if I can potentially debuff incoming by 50 percent? I mean you said incoming damage can't be taken below 90% of it's base right? Wouldn't that mean I only benefit from 4/9ths of barriers 90% res buff (ignoring the MM res cap, what ever that is 65?)? most of my pets are pretty close to the soft cap as well or will be by my next respec maybe I'm crazy but an extra 4% def and a 15% reduction in damage severity seems like too little mitigation compared to a massive heal and + HP every 2 minutes

    but if I went barrier I could go with pyronic... decisions decisions

    Are you sure about that? If so that's a pretty big rip off.

    Follow should mean "Follow", not "Follow when you're done."
    I feel like follow shouldn't even need to overide chase or flee actions it should supercede them in the first place

  22. What I'm thinking about is the following combination on my Bots/Traps/Mu is the following

    Alpha
    Musculature Radial Paragon: 33% DMG, immob, DefDebuff, EndMod, run / 20% ToHitDebuff
    +
    Judgement
    Void Radial Final Judgement: -50% DMG for 30s, 32 targets (50ft radius)
    +
    Interface
    Reactive Radial Flawless Interface: 25% -RES, 75% moderate fire DoT
    +
    Destiny
    Rebirth Core Epiphany: 856.72 heal, +374.8 maxHP first 10s, 160.62 next 20s, 107.08 next 30s, 53.54 last 60s (120s total), 60ft radius
    +
    Lore
    Dmg + invulnerable support Clocks or War not sure yet

    What the do the rest of you think?

    So it's -50% damage unless they have RES. Then if they have 50% RES, they resist 50% of the -50%, so it's only -25% on them. It's kind of weird like that. Generally speaking though it's a pretty big debuff and it's still really useful.


    What you're seeing is the odds of the proc going off, not the effect. The -DMG proc is -5%, so it will stack up to -20%. The hard cap is -90% yes. You can debuff more than that but a target can't do less than 10% its base damage.


    No, no. Pet recharge can't be changed (positive or negative). It's locked. The Debuff RES is not a -RES debuff. It means you resist debuffs. So if you get hit with a -DEF attack, it won't reduce your DEF as much as usual. It gives you resistance to -DEF, -ToHit, -recharge, -slow, -recov, and a bunch of other stuff I can't think of off the top of my head.
    Thanks for setting me straight
