If the Superior version increases the PPM to 6, then it should proc every time it checks in a damage aura (assuming you have a target). I'm not 100% clear on exactly how it works in an AoE, but logic tells me that since it only gets 6 chances to even check for a proc in a given minute, it should stay triple stacked most of the time.

I can tell you from personal experience that it double-stacks consistently in my DA tank's Death Shroud.

I understand that Damage Auras basically keep it double-stacked. Will it stack higher? And if so, what sort of quick-firing power is best? Does it stack on activation, or on 'hits'?

Be Well!

Taking offers, no Buy-It-Now in mind yet.

Edit : I would have rolled fire armor except I already have a SS/fire broot and like 5 different shield toons

There are no real holes though there are two areas where you will be less than stellar by default and will have to work a bit to move up to the big leagues--area damage and defense capping. You have no base defense to speak of. Getting to 32.5% isn't too terribly hard though. As goes area damage, you have Shadow Maul, a cone, and Lightning Field. Beyond that you will have to acquire them from pool choices.

The recharge bonus lends towards working towards perma-Hasten, and with this set of powers, the faster you can cycle them the crazier things become.

But then she got "that look" that Scully was famous for (about a minute thirty in)...Damn, that's Scully!

She is much hawter now than she was 20 years ago.

Oh that's gonna get nerfed pretty fast....

This is, mostly, amazing news for Storm Summoning. For Storm Summoning you can either put it into Gust to see it be useful for the first time in the game's history or Tornado. When tornado can't throw enemies around it will sit on them doing a lot of damage over time so it'll be like having an extra pet which is pretty dang sweet. But since it can only be placed in damage dealing powers you can't put it into Hurricane and you can only put it into one power. It's not global. Why not? Who the heck knows. Maybe in another 5 or 6 years they'll throw us a global one or one you can put into non-damaging powers. Can you imagine it? Hand Clap, Repulsion Field, Sonic Repulsion would all suddenly be useful. Worm Hole would be amazing.

Seriously. While I'm ecstatic that this is finally here, I'm also pretty pissed off that they had the capability to do this they just... didn't.... Can someone tell me why this wasn't done years ago? Tell me there's something I'm missing. Did they not have the capability to do it before now? Something weird in the coding? Jumpin zombie Jesus what the hell took them so long?

Edited because apparently Worm Hole doesn't do damage so you can't put this into Worm Hole.... Sad. But hey, Electric/Electric doms can now use their Thunderstrike without throwing enemies out of their draining aura.

By far, the best travel animations in the game, IMO. Super Speed looks so damn plain, doesn't even feel like you're actually moving at super speeds. Maybe if they added the shadow effect like in Dual Pistols, it might look cooler.

As for SJ, maybe a idle crouched position might make more sense, as in having a character that is always ready for the next leap everytime he/she lands.

Hmmm.....

Frag Grenade fans everywhere (and Hand Clap, and most Nova blasts) rejoiced.

Trouble is, it's not global - have to slot it into each power you want to the KB -> KD.

And there will be a limited availability due to only avail in summer event.

So, assumption is high price on market.

You could 5slot the one purple set with kb slot and slot it with the kd converter for total kd with a potentially high kd value.... especially if the power already does kd. EG: tornado + kb proc +kd converter.

In fact, mixing this with any kb set would make the kb set very valuable.

So, I passed it off to a friend to get rid of the +1, then he passed it back to me so I could go ahead and store it. Yes, the boost was gone, but atleast I got to store the enhancement which was ultimately the goal.
