As far as I know the repeatable Warwolf Whistle has 3 charges vs the 5 for the first time completion. I could be wrong on the amount but the only difference between the two is the charges available.

I posted it in the feedback thread but it was drowned in everybody's collective "meh" about everything else in the today's market update.
Warwolf Whistle. 80 points/5 uses. No reward token gate (which at least does limit the issue to a minority of the overall game population). Here to stay. What's next? Shivans? HVAS?
As everyone knows, temp pets can do wonders for squishie survivability solo, and thus are quite useful. So, I'm not quite convinced this isn't too good an offering for a rm-purchasable power. Unless Backup Radio (unlimited and rm-free) does summon a better pets on average (I really didn't check BU radio seriously yet, so I don't know.)
So, what everyone thinks? -
Quote:I've actually seen this in an RPG game. One Character had a spell tree with a move called Doppleganger. Doppleganger had an upgrade that let it use the same spell tree. So naturally Doppleganger went and summoned another one.Originally Posted by Celidya
Mastermind Mastermind: you summon Masterminds who then summon their own Masterminds who summon Masterminds who...
As a bonus if the character died while Doppleganger was out Doppleganger would become the character.
Now then Carp Melee/Armor should obviously be exclusive to Tankers and Stalkers for thematic reasons.
Gelatinous Armor (cause Jello is the perfect defense)

Im not advocating unlocking them. I would like to see heroes able to take them from other notable heroes. If it was achillary for heroes and Patron for Villians that would be fine and dandy but currently its achilarry for heroes and both for villians. Yes, nothing says that you can not "go evil" to gain access but a villain doesnt need to "go good" to get the acihliary. I'm proposing something on a balance aspect.
And if The patron is the person killed in the SSA, perhaps it wasnt the best choice of person to make the patron if you have to turn around and "fix" it.
You do know that villains have to unlock the Patron Pools right? -

While I can appreciate the sentiment I've not a big fan of the argument that something shouldn't be changed just because is used to be even worse. Yes, the current system is a huge improvement over the original but I don't really see that as a reason not to change it further. Having the PPPs locked behind an arc doesn't really add anything to the player experience (except inconvenience) which to me is a good reason to remove the requirement.
it's not so much that it used to be worse, it's more about the lack of support from primarily blue side players at the time.
Again though not against improving access to it, but I feel the PPP's should be gated, nothing wrong with the gate having multiple entrances.

For what it's worth, I think the devs should just eliminate the need to unlock PPPs entirely. Leave the arcs in but give all characters free access to PPPs without needing to do the arc.
While I understand this desire I can't agree with it ever. Too much struggling and bad blood throughout the history of the PPP's. It took Redsiders close to 3 years to get the PPP's into the state they're in. As a part of that effort I can't support removing the unlock.
However I can support an additional way to unlock them. -
Well your Elec/Nin which is one of the best if not THE BEST combos available to Stalkers.
The point of Stalkers is the controlled crits.
As for your Elec/Nin Lightning Rod will not break hide, this lets you follow up with Thunderstrike (which has a guaranteed crit on the targeted mob) this lets you nuke a spawn without any problems. -
haven't tested this for myself, but I think so since use of the power brings up a zone selection menu similar to the Base Portal and the Market Teleporter,which do work inside instances.
-
I understand your anger Test Rat but spreading misinformation doesn't help. In fact it probably makes things worse cause then people play that way, the devs see them playing that way and then balance based off of people playing that way.
To the OP as a Stalker you have no reason to be standing around doing nothing for 8 seconds. A while back the Stalker AT got some changes made so they have an automatic 10% chance to crit when not hidden, that can go as high as 33% when 7 teammates are within 30ft. Now thin about how many attacks you can land within 8 seconds. Now think about those attacks criting 10% pf the time. Finally think about those attacks criting 33% of the time.
Now do you really want to stand around waiting for 8 secs? didn't think so.
As for Hide,AS,Placate becoming inherant powers it's been discussed before, devs decided against it. -
No no no, clearly that is the primary form of community service punishments given out to metahumans.
Judge sentences a meta to 20 hours wheelchair carrying service.
They literally stand near those buildings and carry any handicapped people up and down the stairs as needed. -
to: Emperor Justin, sorry that comment wasn't meant at you or the OP but at the post directly above the one you quoted.

The Patron Arcs grant a badge unique to the Patron in question. in Fact said badges were tied to the pools themselves. That's why initially it was impossible to Respec Patron Pools.
So Hero patron Arcs shouldn't get some spiffy unique title they should get a badge same as the Villain Arcs do. -

It's part of the assassination effect. It's only on the Assassin's Strike type power. In my experience, it only goes off when your target survives the Assassin's Strike, but I've heard some noise to the effect that they've fixed it, and it goes off regardless, but that could just have been a suggestion to improve stalkers.

3 Actually.
Deathsurge is spawned when 100 gremlins are killed
Scrapyard Spawns when 100 Scrapyarders are killed
Caleb spawns when 100 Spectral Demons have been killed.
In fat the only Redsdie GM that can't be spawned is the Arachnos Flier, incidentally it's also the hardest one to get(though it was incredibly bugged when Grandville was released) -
I think the Incarnate stuff is inline with what you want. Especially since the powers can be color changed.
-
So reading this thread and getting ideas I looked at Paragon Wiki.
Cloak of Fear has some interesting options with IO's in the mix.
And Now I have a strong desire to roll up a /DA something. Any suggestions for seeing my foes driven before me? -

Actually, speaking of Villainside GMs, what's with their rarity? >> Heroside has nearly a dozen, Villains get 4.
1 for each zone ignoring Mercy
Port Oakes gets the Pirate Traps instead
St. Martial has a free spawning Longbow Balista in place of a full on GM
EDIT: Why St. Martial doesn't have a GM Sized Wailer is anyone guess. -

As an aside, the Trapdoor thing always makes me smile when I see it. Trapdoor is likely the weakest AV/EB in the game. Granted I don't usually fight him as an AV (Always an EB) but he is a pansy. He does little damage and has 0 regen if you kill his pets.
Nope Trapdoor most certainly is not the weakest AV in the game. That distinction belongs to those chumps in Death From Below. After them I'd say Hopkins is on the weak side and then I'd put Trapdoor.
his gimmick actually does add significant challenge to the fight making him a stronger AV then the others I've listed. -
If Stalkers are supposed to be Melee blasters why do the devs keep adding things that make it obvious to compare Stalkers with Scrappers?
Now granted when CoV launched Stalkers might have been designed to fit that role, however the game has changed a lot since then and Stalkers as melee Blasters seems less appropriate. -
Looking this over you propose it as a Controller Primary, however the effects are more suited to a Controller Secondary.
Controller Primary Powers are Controls (Immobilize,Holds,Sleeps,Stuns etc.)
Controller Secondaries are Buff/Debuff (+/- Res,Def,Dam,Acc etc.)
Now with that in mind the set is interesting, however as a general rule Buff/Debuff Sets do not do lots of damage the way you want this set to.
I do like the concept though. -
Kin/DP Defender using Chemical Ammo.
-
So I needn't worry about it until later on in the build. That's good to know.
-
So Fun Fact
Placate does not break hide.
Very useful when there's only 1 Rikti Drone in a group. -
So far I'm enjoying my Kin/Ice.
Currently level 19 and loving it, though I skipped Hoarfrost and I'm not sure about Chilling Embrace.
Can any of you tell me how important those powers are? -
Always capped and never getting hit Stalker Assassins Strike w/ crit is the strongest ST attack available to players. Preferably DM for the Negative Energy damage which is resisted less often than other types.

Adding to the Elec/Shield Scrapper suggested above, you also take Spring Attack from the Leaping pool.
