Something weird has happened'd to my account. I DC'd(due to my crappy ISP) and tried to log back in, and I kept getting a wrong password message.

So I exited and retried, after a few more tries it finally took the password and then said my account was already logged in...

After a few more tries of that it let me thru then gave me a login server unavailiable message when I tried to enter test server.

Then right back to the account is already logged in message...

Anyone having a problem like this?

SPIRIT SHARK

Test subject: Fortunata [Arachnos Minion]; Level 41 (-2)
Fury: None or extremely minimal
Enhancements: 2 accuracy 3 Power 1 recharge

Initial damage: 66.92 (log) / 67 (on screen)
DoT (per hit): 6.68 (log) / 7 (on screen) [4 DoT ticks total]

Total damage (log): 66.92 + (6.68*4) = 93.64
Total damage (screen): 67 + (7*4) = 95

Air Superiority [2 accuracy 2 recharge] - 60.77
Brawl [1 accuracy] - 22.92

Gonna go maul some low level enemies after test to show bigger numbers

Just hit lvl 43(1 lvl from CHUM SPRAY YEY!) and six slotted my Spirit shark. Gonna post more results against different enemies using IBM's excellent testing format.

I still wanna test em and give ppl the numbers cuz the devs are barely giving us anything.

In their current state tho.... ehh alot of ppl are prob not gonna bother.

SPIRIT SHARK

Test subject: Night Widow [Arachnos Lieutenant]; Level 40 (-2)
Fury: None or extremely minimal
Enhancements: 1 accuracy 3 Power all +3s

Initial damage: 63.11 (log) / 63 (on screen)
DoT (per hit): 6.3 (log) / 6 (on screen) [4 DoT ticks total]

Total damage (log): 63.11 + (6.3*4) = 88.31
Total damage (screen): 63 + (6*4) = 87

If only we had something like LRM or Power build up for our Corruptors.

The EPPs rocked cause the different sets actually served an almost completely different experience. Not so much with PPPs...But I can't really judge until I get my hands on everything and six slot it. BACK TO THE GRRRRIIIINDD!!!

Alright I helped another person up to lvl 41(through a very long and very boring Grindfest) and got a pic of this from the MMs pool:

Scorpions ARMOR! YEY!

As everyone guessed that icon stays with you for you entire LIFE!!! Kidding kidding! It comes up on your char and fades away shortly then you get a nonobtrusive glow around your char indicating the shield is on.

According to the Icon it defends against Lethal, smashing, Energy. Resistance to Toxic.

Whats the animation? I saw the attack before but Mayja always managed to use the attack when I had my head turned Also: i'm stealing your testing format, that looks WAY better than mine.

Don't know whats up with Mako, he's got TWO 3 second activation attacks right off the bat(albeit cool looking). Atleast clip spirit shark's(Sharky, as I like to call him) animation a bit.

Also from the animations it looks like your drawing energy into your body(into your back) and then releasing ol' sharky from your chest how about lethal with Energy/Negative DoT or Energy/Negative with lethal DoT or all negative.

Also those petty gripes aside: Those attacks look amazing your art team rocks! Cryptic. I love how Sharky goes right for the neck on those that have em.

Though I do have a probable bug, if you stealth the entire spirit shark animations stealths with you including a stealthy spirit shark flying/swimming towards your foe's jugular at the end.

Maybe its an enhanced effect for stalkers?

EDIT: I hit lvl 42 and got my buddy slotted 1acc 3dam(all +3s obviously) last night. Need to post more test results.

He had to leave for the night, so I can't really test that, we'll get to it tommorrow if possible tho.

Alright I did a rough timing of the Soul Drain buff duration. Skrape1(ice/kin) got it a mission ago.

~20 Seconds for buff duration. Icon begins blinking around 15 seconds.

Spirit Shark
vs.
+1 Psi Cop(doesn't look like they resist smashing/lethal) NO FURY 1 damage SO

30.24 lethal damage
3.01 Lethal DoT 4 ticks

I had that same problem then I had the best Idea I had in a while. I went to warburg and soloed PvP missions.

People still don't wanna team for some reason so I had a lonely day getting my guy up to lvl 41(tho a protector buddy of mine jumped in for a few misisons and we joked around).

Whenever I manage to hit lvl 42 I'm gonna test the power with the 1acc 3 pow setup and hope that its worth combustion's animation time(which is still a bit better than the hurl boulder animation time I think).

Also: Its still bile spray but I'm never calling it that. It'll always be chum spray to me...

I'll look forward to the Corruptor PoV on this set

Could anyone offer me some testing tips? I got the spirit shark power and I need to find some enemies with no resistance or weakness to lethal damage. I tested it on some bane spiders compared it to non damage slotted Air Superiority, looks really grim does just a bit under what Air Sup will do.

Soooo anyone know of any enemies that just take normal lethal damage? I wanna give this power some more testing and get the numbers out to everyone.

I got the Mako Pool on my brute so the choices I have are:

Spirit Shark <--- I love the look on it kinda hard to see tho.
School of Sharks <---- Taking this after CHUM SPRAY!!!
CHUM SPRAY!!!!!!!! <--- My reason for taking the pool
Lame pet <--- I refuse to even bother.

You must be thinking about another set.

Thats school of sharks you're thinking about, I'm taking that last(though i'm thinking I should take it before the pet)

Ol' Sharky(Spirit Shark) is a single target attack. It looks vicious when it hits, its like the shark tackles them and then mauls em.

Alright I don't know if this is at all relevant but I got ahold of spirit shark from Captain Mako pool on my brute. Pure lethal damage.

The Spirit shark unslotted does about as much damage as my Air Superiority attack(2acc 2rech). It uses the Fire Melee Combust animation.

Looking at that, i'm gonna have to go lvl up to around 43 to get it six slotted and put it against my hurl boulder attack.

Heres to hoping it stacks up.

Naw ol' sharky latches on and it has a vicious sound like a lion ripping a chunk of a fresh kill. That shaking gnaw sound, its great.

That trick I post tho, it only seems to help skrape1. Without it he crashes but with it he gets thru, it weird that he's the only one that derives a positive effect from it.

The Build up

Build up 2nd angle

Ready to Launch!

FIRE 1

FIRE 2

Also a guy I met on test server while testing this power, Skrape1, found a way to get around that crappy mission crash bug.

You have to be on a team and as soon as the person with the crash problem enters a mission spam some messages on the team channel. It somehow lets them through.

Edit: Spirit Shark take these enhancements:

Accuracy
Damage
Range
Knockback
Endurance Reduction
Recharge Reduction

Alright more testing with better numbers this time...

Even level Bane Spider Commando Minion(lvl 41) UNENHANCED NO FURY
18.09 Lethal damage
4 ticks of 1.8 Lethal damage

Even level Bane Spider Commando Minion(lvl 41) UNENHANCED NO FURY BUILD UP(slotting 3rech 3tohit if that means anything )
32.75 Lethal damage
4 ticks of 3.27 Lethal damage

Air Superiority Slotting(2acc 2recharge) NO OR VERY LITTLE FURY vs. Even level Bane Spider Commando Minion
27.14 smashing damage

Brawl
10.35 smashing damage

I'll have pics up in a sec.

In my excitment I made a noob mistake. Sorry everyone it uses the COMBUST animation.

Testing against an even lvl Bane spider commando UNSLOTTED zero fury

20 damage upfront with 2 dmg DoT. 4 ticks

With Build up ZERO FURY UNSLOTTED

36 damage with 4 dmg DoT. 4 ticks.

I got my shark baby!

The animation looks kinda like Fulcrum shift with a pause towards the end to release the shark.

When it hits there is a chunk of damage followed by light DoT, kinda like fire blast but with Lethal damage.

I'm gonna do more testing and post some damage numbers and see what I can do with that 1 slot it has :P

ran it in safe mode, still crashed

Gonna have to go with that lame plan of having ppl do the missions for me. I hope they don't laugh at me too much.

Mine started off with a timed mish which I had to let fail and let him yell at me for. I was really thinking about getting a team to do the missions for me but its like no one wants to even bother team

Well I hate begging so I'll figure out something.

Guess I'll go sleep then, theres nothing I can do other than grinding out another level, and I really don't wanna do that without having my spirit shark on hand
