Quote:Weakest in terms of survivng hard targets perhaps, but it is the strongest at dealing damage even more now that FE is a damage boost that bypasses cap limitationsOriginally Posted by Tannim222
Don't let JB's jaded post fool you, Tankers can solo AVs, even without Lore pets.
My Fire/Fire/Pyre Tanker with only the t3 Alpha slot has soloed quite a few AVs, with just the use of a couple of inspirations (small purple) to keep his melee defense at cap.
I didn't build him for typed defense, but went with Melee (which is not the common choice anymore) and then went for recharge. Granted, it took IOs (no Purples mind you), and Fire/ is considered the weakest Tanker Primary, and while not every AV is possible at the moment, it still is possible. -

You'll be fine. This is one of the weird double-standards I cannot figure out. Any references to evil, Satan, demons, hell is "ok" but references to good, 'God, angels, heaven is not. I don't want to turn this into a religious discussion or anything of the sort, this is just my observation.

That's some awesome sexist anecdotal "evidence" there. You don't suppose that maybe had more to do with her age than it did her gender, do you?

Technically anytime you get hit with a def debuff but not by much if more than around 1.88%

Take a page out of the first JL episode where the the members, team up for the first time fighting against an alien(or supernatural) invasion that is already in progress at the start of the movie and in teaming up they find undeniable synergy, comraderie and decide to make it offficial (or coaxed into it by the media and a thankful world population) which is what spurns the real antagonists of the movie, earth based villains, into action to oppose this new pantheon of gods the "Justice League"
This should be set apart from avengers in certain ways:
-The Alien invasion is already in progress in the opening scenes of the movie and invaders are quickly dispatched they are just the excuse for the league to get together. The invasion shouldn't be mentioned or featured much in the ads
-Ego issues/butting heads should be minimized(to avoid appearing to ape The Avengers) They should all be looking to humbly and humorously look to avoid taking on the leadership role before settling on revolving shifts something organic feeling rather than growing pains of The Avengers
-They should have a rather diverse cast of heroes although MCU took a page out the Ultimates in this area they didn't go far enough, in the avengers none of the heroes doing the fighting, saving the earth managed to be cast outside of the golden age/silver age mold.
*I suggest WW be played by a latina or someone ethnicly ambigously not white, like a portugese girl who looks like she could just as easily be south asian as she could be south american also suggested for Hawk Girl or anyo ther femal on the team. Get John Stewert and mix both Marine and Architect backgrounds, MM if added is green so whatever there, Flash, Supes, and Batman (if included) are white. Don't have to divy up time over too many heroes, have the diversity and good ratios.
(on the other hand if Gina Carano can act I'd like her for WW she's got the physique the figure and she's a looker but then she my athelete crush so ignore this section)

When they announced new animations for MA and Super Strength at the time, I was thinking "wouldn't it be nice to see that punch in there somewhere"...then it indeed got added, but to the one attack that's already the coolest looking one in the game!
It was a very "monkey's paw" moment. -
Quote:a bug??? they went through not to long ago and nerfed/normalised the sts and aoes for stalkers which resulted in Fireball losing it's auto critical from hide, your telling me stalkers aren't even supposed to have burst???Originally Posted by Siolfir
Just throwing this out as a "buyer beware" - the 100% critical chance from hidden on Burst has been publicly acknowledged as a bug by the (at-the-time) lead powers developer, and that stance has been confirmed recently by the current lead powers developer via private message (when I asked if the same treatment could be given to all AoEs prior to the i21 changes).
That doesn't change the playstyle advice or other points made, and KM is still good on a Stalker. I'm just trying to keep people from taking Stalker KM only because they think that 100% crit chance on Burst is always going to be there so I don't have to see as many of the inevitable rage posts when it finally gets changed. -

Quote:Depending on your choice of secondary I would reroll that scrapper as a stalker. Every time you crit with the tier 9 power your build up recharges, everytime you use burst from hidden it crits on all enemies it hits making stalkers the ultimate AT for KM. Once I settled on stalkers I went KM/Nin but if I could do it over I would go KM/Energy for the added S/L/E resistsOriginally Posted by Sukugaru
I've been away from the game for a while (since around... Issue 13 or so? Shield and Willpower were still new), and came back a bit over a month ago.
So many new things!
Including Kinetic Melee. A friend put me onto it, and I'm playing a Scrapper using this powerset. I love its feel and animations and that it's basically entirely what I wanted from my old long aborted blapper experiment. (Who's sitting at over 1900 days unplayed. I leave him untouched just to see how high the days unplayed number will go.)
Unfortunately I can't find much discussion or information about Kinetic Melee, apart from snippets like, "animations are a bit too long", and, "avoid if you don't like Knockback". Does anybody have any tips or advice on Better Living Through Kinetic Melee?
My main interest is how to effectively use Power Siphon. I'm used to the simplicity of Build Up and Focus Chi.
If your a KM/Shield scrapper you can't use Shield on stalkers so you gotta decide whether losing /Shield is worth it. -

TW/Energy (Possibly the combo that has the most overall potential)

Warning Rant:
I think tyrant iss too tough, and takes too long to defeat for the paltry rewards you get. Imo should be 4 emps for the first time
Last night I was on a league duskforce put together and it took forever which i said the moment he got to mini me mode! We were mostly +3 and +2 and it seemed everyone was dying awfully frequently except for me somehow, on my StJ/Fire/Soul Brute I didn't die once my PPP Pet died plenty in my stead and with great immediacy though, I was ultra attentive with that air crackle gimick, my self heal and my insp use and T4 Barrier so i survived the whole extrodinarly long ordeal all the while spamming all my -res related or procing abilities, super tired btw, got to the end and I didn't even get the MUTHA ******* reward table!
It was my first run on that toon and my only reward was a paltry 10 threads and 29% towards hybrid; Eff that trial, not fun, not rewarding, excruciatingly long, if I got my two emps I would have had less to complain about but I would have still preferred a farm run which we did two of afterwards (Thx Batz)in what felt like a 3rd of the time it took to do the complete run which sucked
btw I've completed it on a KM/Nin/Fire at least once, got my rewards, and still think it sucks failed another 4 runs on my bots/traps/mu the first saturday it went live I wish I had gone to the gym that day instead of focusing on the completion and unlock which has soured me on the whole trial -
Quote:That 10% damage buff works out to around 5% increase in total damage assuming someone has the standard 89 to 100% slotting, making it not very noticible in the circumstance where it should be at its most impressive if some one has more damage enhance coming than just the standard 89 to 100% damage boost than it won't even be a 5% boost to total damage.Originally Posted by Oedipus_Tex
I really don't think Hybrid is that bad. It's actually probably better than Destiny in terms of self-buff and I suspect for most characters it adds more damage over time than Judgment does. A 10% all-the-time damage buff is pretty substantial just by itself. You're basically picking up either a free semi-god mode, free Build Up and then some, most of the Leadership pool for free part time but league-wide, or... a sort of weird control power.
That said I can dig Assault as Buildup/Fiery embrace type power so I'm not complaing the Magi trial sucks not fun at all imo at most 1 complete run should should satisfy the magi requirement for the hybrid slot. -
Quote:I think it's more of a "why not Primal?"Originally Posted by Nericus
As to Protoform X, Primal states that it was the "dark secret of Axalon's journey". We then see in flashback as Primal is shaking his head sadly as X is caged and sealed in the stasis pod. "it was an attempt to recreate Starscream's mutant indestructible spark with a Maximal, but it was a mistake to even try." Primal stated how dangerous and ruthless Protoform X was and how he was ordered to find some place far and barren to dump him. Rhinox knew of X as he too recognized the stasis pod description from Cheetor "Primus help us all if that thing survived."
Protoform X had leveled Colony Omicron before it was captured and I believe Depthcharge had a large hand in it being captured. He was furious when the Council ordered Primal to banish X. But again comes the question; why Primal? I can understand them not wanting to execute X if that could be done as it goes against Maximal/Autobot code of conduct, but why Primal? Why was he chosen to banish X? It was never answered, which led some fan speculation that Primal may have helped create X and thus this was penance for Primal. Just a theory.
-He's already on a military expedition, which helps make everything hush hush
-He has the kind of clearance required to know the kind of "need to know" information he knew, he followed orders, wasn't a troublemaking Mulder type who knew more than he "needed to know" as seen in S1 Posession(The Starscream episode) -
Quote:I doubt Primal had any hand in X's creation. Primal wasn't even high enough on the food chain to know much about who Starscream was he didn't have, or claimed not to have any worthwhile information on who starscream is like behavioral, tactical profile type stuff in the episode where Starscream posses Waspinator.Originally Posted by Nericus
5. When Depthcharge arrived, Optimus tells him to let it go and that "You were not responsible for what happened to Colony Omicron and neither am I". Protoform X leveled the colony and Depthcharge hunted him down and helped cage him, but the Council decided Optimus should exile Protoform X instead. Still that statement from Optimus makes me wonder....did Optimus Primal have a hand in the creation of Protoform X? It was never stated, but it would be interesting and help explain why Depthcharge wasn't too keen on following Optimus' orders. Though I do laugh when Primal confronts Depthcharge about what happened to Cheetor and Depthcharge gives him attitude until Primal gets mad, slams DC into a wall and tells him to talk or he will extract the data from him one bit at a time. Depthcharge then says "Well since you asked so NICELY......"
All he knew is that X was an attempt to recreate Starscream's immortal spark -

"archaic energon guzzlers.....how DARE they!"
"Unwilling though I was to follow my namesake's instructions, it has all come down to this. The ultimate risk for the ultimate prize! A day of reckoning with those that made US into slaves!"
Too bad that Cybertronian culture wasn't explored more as I'd like to get more on Predacon Megatron's viewpoint that the Autobots and Maximals somehow made the Predacons a slave race as such a thing should go against both Autobot and Maximal philosophy.
Another great quote:
"And there came a hero that said 'Hurt not the Earth, nor the trees, nor the seas, nor the fabric of time!' But there hero would NOT prevail!"
"Finish the quote Megatron! 'Nor would he surrender!' "
Better yet: Optimal Optimus enters the Nemesis bridge for the big fight
Megatron: "Oh well, let's have it! The usual destiny and honor speech!"
Optimal Optimus: "SPEECH THIS!" and punches Megatron
was watching all the storyline epsiodes this weekend ended up missing much of the conversation where our magifarm turned into a full run
I think loss of their decepticon/predicon "right" to rule and conquer is what megatron meant by them being slaves they were defeated and their ambitions curtailed afterall

Quote:Sonic/BeamOriginally Posted by Droid76a
All,
I'm looking for comparison info on a beam/sonic corruptor vs a sonic/beam defender.
Toon concept will be blue-side with Praetorian origin. Corruptor is fine.
I'm going with sonic as a secondary, as it's low maintenance and lets me focus on the buttons of beam.
Does that combo prefer one AT over another, or will it be a toss-up?
I want to be able to solo effectively without being painful, but still darn impressive in teams
On the solo side: yes, I know that's harder with Sonic, as most of the powerset is useless when solo. Corruptors have scourge, and (I think?) a higher DF than defenders. Defenders have vigilance.
On the team side: defenders get bigger boosts from both the -res (30% x2) as well as the +RES in the shield. Corruptors still do plenty of -res, though, especially combined with beam.
Thoughts?
Since disintegration doesn't scourge, overchage is kinda underwelming on both ATs and you get more res an -res -
Quote:I don't know if ma has a lower end cost but I do know that it has less aoe potential, no -res attack and no where to slot achiles heal those would be the cons compered to SJOriginally Posted by Lord_Sidious
ok i'm finding SJ to be incredibly end draining and was thinking perhaps switching over to MA/DA if it was better.
any opinions? Pros/cons? Thoughts and comments welcomed.
