They will still give "a bit more damage", it's not like it's all taken away.. Fireball with Containment will still equal Blaster Fireball in damage.

Blaster epics don't turn them into tankers or controllers either, although they include control powers and shields.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't see why Controllers can't have a lv 2 Blaster power when Blasters get lv 2 controller powers and Tier 9 Tanker powers. I can still kill a boss faster than any troller on my blaster and I can clear an 8 man spawn faster than any Fire/Kin on my blaster.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nobody is taking away the Fireball. The control powers in Blaster epics are on Blaster mez scale, not controller mez scale. Your argument would work if blasters got a ST hold that had the same duration as controller holds, doubled if they shot at the target first with a tier 1 blast.

[/ QUOTE ]
Controllers ranged damage modifier is already lower than that of a Blaster, same way a Blaster gets lower duration from hold compared to a troller, so an extra reduction to that damage was not needed. The blasts also have a higher end drain( which is waaay too high now, considering the damage done )compared to the Blaster version, which is already significant.

Also Controllers don't get things like Aim and Build up, which is what really sets Blasters apart as the main damage dealer.

And Defiance helping to deal potentially 300% (was it? max value..) buffed damage?

Just because they are all completely awesome really (and a fantastic finale). I'd like to nominate Catz's 50 drawings for her NaNoDraMo

[ QUOTE ]
Don't agree at all. The Epic Blasts shouldn't be doing twice the damage of things like Spectral Wounds in your primaries.

[/ QUOTE ]
Ah buh buh buh buh buhhhhh

Epics (precise term of course then) Ancillaries are meant to 'shape out' and 'fill in the gaps' of an AT, yes?

(Patron powers being amusing as they dont fill in the gaps for every of the ATs)

Controllers lack in damage! So the ancillaries do give them some hope of a bit more damage...


Chiefette

[ QUOTE ]
If controllers are supposed to be a support AT they should unnerf AoE control.

[/ QUOTE ]
Didnt, as I've heard from the learned folk like you Augury , Statesman not like controllers in the first place?

Or equally PvP might have sam-thing to do with it... I havent spent too much time in PvP with my controllers, I've spent way too much time being a typical scrapper or on occasions my mastermind (my brute soon to join the fray )

This might be expected of me considering my standing with her but Wowzer! Catz looks terribly cute in that final drawing (like she does in her non CoH/V form )

The other people are lovely too
Also I want Max's Hat... !!!!

Mercenaries/Dark would be just as thematic - keeps with her original "main" power, but also gives the mystic edge. Eres' mercenaries were loyal guys after all, so it stands to reason they'd come back to her.


[/ QUOTE ]
Keep her as a mastermind sure, although I was having an idea about the primary...
Since her 'boys' have been through (in effect) hell and back with her, they could be Thugs instead? That'd portray the whole "tough, hardy, wily" so and so's whose normal military style equipment have degraded from overuse but still they follow their leader! Still keep the same names maybe?
Dark of course is just awesome, secondary and rpness-wise.
And yeah I'd say Magic Origin..

While I have come for I recall the past two hami raids on Union, sadly I cannot come for that date since school would be still going

...Super Speed using Scrapper runs alongside me, looks at me, I engage bodyguard and wait..... Scrapper runs in and starts to slice at me, robots launch themselves at him and quickly despatch him (due to buffs helping too, oh and a massive heavy).

This happens again with another failed attack after he resparned

It happens again!

Next time, he resumes his attack, for some reason he's harder to hit (I think he took insps... suddenly WAY better!), I die... but still

Was rather funny how persistent he was even when I was just sorta minding my own buisness

[/ QUOTE ]

If this was a while ago and on Union, and against a BS/Regen, it may well have been me. I remember distinctly doing something very similar to that.

I vaguely recall it was a /Regen, did the name have (something like) Jade in it?

Rather cute example of sorts I've been in:
I was going around destroying turrets and PvE Enemies in RV on my Mastermind (with a heavy) and was approaching the most-NW turret.

If you ask me this is a rubbish crit chance compared to scrappers....even in PvP.

Hmm, felt like asking as I've always wanted to know,
Does anyone know the rough critical change of a scrapper?
Or even better - have the numbers?

I managed to write 100 words on people waiting for an elevator and going down it. I don't like to call it 'padding' though, I prefer 'elaboration'.

[/ QUOTE ]
I wonder who'll have quite possibly the best padding in their Novel ?
I.E Spending the most amount of words to describe something rather insignificant..
Perhaps like boiling an egg... who knows

[ QUOTE ]
Aw you could have left me my illusions!

I suppose, if you were all set to start writing at midnight and just go at it non-stop, it wouldn't be too hard to get it done that quick. But people with jobs and families and lives would find it a little more difficult...

On another subject... I don't suppose anybody here knows anything about natural childbirth? I want to have a sort of midwifery scene for one of my characters but I don't know anything about childbirth personally (and have no wish to either!)

Yes! Wait. What does rhetoric mean again?

Good, old fashioned Victorian Norfolk name anyone? Or do I just refer to her as "Cook"? She is a minor character after-all.

[/ QUOTE ]
Sorry I know this post may be late, (well no reply to it), also I've kind of been caught up with things...

But rhetoric.. well */em knuckles*
A "rhetor" (from Greek) which is in English an 'orator', so rhetoric is the art that orators practise, i.e technique of public speaking. Although it can be used in a derogatory sense i.e "mere rhetoric", to diminish something's seriousness.

Anyway, just calling Cook, 'Cook' would be viable. Although to children/youngers the Cook I'm not sure would be called "Cook".. ... ah dunno totally.... although I know words! Yes words!!!!

Intruigingly Nanny is apparently a real surname... the more you know!

Also I'm studying/revising Greek Vocabulary now for a test tomorrow.... so ... erm ... yanno, any more questions on stuff... or something and I'll help!

Head of MI5 I remember reading somewhere traditionally was referred to by one letter.
For some reason I think it's "C", or possibly "M" but that might be James Bond corrupting it...
