Poison is a set that wants to play at range from 1-34. All of its skills from tiers 1-7 are best used at range and there is absolutely no reason for you to dive into a spawn or enter melee range. However, at levels 35 and 38 something odd happens. A set that primarily played at range is suddenly forced to enter melee range to use two of its most powerful skills. Once you get Poison Trap and Venemous Gas, you will drastically change your play style.

This is why I like Dual Pistols with Poison so much. Just like Poison, Dual Pistols is a set that plays best at range up until level 32, at which point it receives Hail of Bullets and a dramatic incentive to enter melee range to unleash carnage. These sets synergize perfectly in regards to leveling approach and they are insanely potent together. You have the option stack massive amounts of -damage debuffs with Weaken, Venemous Gas, and Toxic Rounds all being multiplied by your -resistance debuffs. You also can lay down serious AoE damage with Incendiary Rounds, Bullet Rain, Hail of Bullets, Poison Trap, and all of your debuffs.

It also doesn't have too low damage actually because of its speed. (Edit: I also find Rad easy to use, even while hovering way above the ground where rains wouldn't work well.)
Also, defense debuffs are actually extremely useful to me. First, they mean a little less need for accuracy, which is great for SOs/HOs only where slots will be very precious until HOs at least. Second, with all the to-hit debuffs and defense buffs that enemies have, defense debuff will help with those quite a bit. It also helps everyone else hit the enemy, not just yourself.


I'm still debating Ice and Psychic though. I think part of the problem is I'm not sure how effective the recharge slow is.

How does recharge slow behave? Is it on an exponential decline in effectiveness like recharge buffs are?
Is there a recharge slow cap?
How much does it actually reduce incoming damage?

I've been here for years and I'm still figuring out the numbers and how to slot better.



Edit:
I also have a main Fortunata that I greatly enjoy, so I'm wondering how the Psychic powers of corruptors compare.

I'm not going with Fire. It's overused and overrated. I'm not that fond of the graphics or no secondary effects either.
So there.



By the way, NO INVENTIONS!
Every suggestion and "Time does it all" statement you make seems to end up with "if you slot it with this set".

I don't have access to them. I also will never take Power Boost because:
1) If the set was designed around it then the set sucks and I'll just complain about it until the set gets balanced to not force me to choose a power outside of it.
2) If #1 is wrong then it will probably eventually be nerfed, or at least it is not necessary so I can choose a different ancillary/patron I will use more than just for one power on a long recharge.

I'd set to -1/4~6 so you can have large mobs for Irradiate. Using Bolt and Sands of Mu on Lts.

As a general habit I rarely use RI (while solo'ing) to save on endurance.

I'd skip X-ray Beam, Electron Haze, Proton Volley.

You're high enough to use Cosmic Burst and Neutron Bomb so damage shouldn't be a problem at your lvl.

And then to go to the "Back in MY day, we had it hard!" bit. Well, yes, and before that you could only run one armor, rooted actually rooted you in place, etc, etc, etc.

The game has evolved. It has changed to make things more accessible and to make teaming more enjoyable and worry free. I no longer have to worry that the person exemping me down for a TF will disconnect and I'll get auto-booted from it. Hazard zones no longer have levels (meaning, of course, that if we have a team of mixed levels, half the team won't be locked out of the zone where a mission is mid-arc.)

People can team up and just decide to do any TF they want, as long as they're of the appropriate level... except this one. That, to me, is broken, a throwback to an earlier, less "friendly" age of the game. And that's what I want to fix. That's nowhere near "Insist on being awarded a level 50 for going VIP" or any of the other ridiculous things that have been thrown around on here by a few individuals. Your reaction, to me, was on par with me saying I wish cars had more efficient engines and you going "Next you'll want a teleport to your own personal moon base complete with starship, I had to work 90 hours a week at minimum wage to earn my first car!"

So you'll just have to excuse me being offended at that being piled on top of all the other nonsense thrown out as arguments "against" the suggestion.

Y'know what I'd love? For people to not get all hyperbolic about things because of wanting to remove one of the last locks in the game.



This is not "dumbing down," as much as some of these opposing responses seem to indicate it may be needed. You'd still have to be 35 to run missions, etc. in Cim. You'll still have to fight romans for costume bits, and run the ITF for others. And this has absolutely NOTHING to do with "making a buck." What does it have to do with? Removing the need for a tedious arc that's inconsistent between sides on when it's awarded. Removing the *last* zone unlock left (a co-op zone, as it happens.)

Perhaps you'd like to read the original post again and actually try *thinking* about the response before posting it.

And don't go into the "Walking uphill through ten feet of snow at thirty below wearing nothing but a fifth-hand pair of worn khakis, damp cloth wrapped around my feet, no shirt, for fifty miles just to get a drink of water" nonsense. I've been around long enough to have seen the same things, and removing the silly restrictions has done nothing but make the game *better* and more enjoyable.

But there's no reason to limit access to Cimerora based on club membership. There's at least one other mission that sends us to Cimerora without dealing with the Midnighter club.

What the devs should do instead is make Cimerora another one of the zones accessible from the portal in Ouroboros. The only way back out would be Ouroboros, unless you happened to be a Midnighter Club member.

This would require a change to the mission teleport logic, probably, which won't let you teleport to a Cimerora mission unless you've got access to the Midnighter Club.

Oh and the ability to decorate 3-4 rooms, and the ability to let teammates in.
