Absurd tricks aren't limited to 3.5 either.
A Two Weapon Ranger in 4E can actually have an infinite combo at level 21(granted this is epic level but an infinite is an infinite)
Starting with Twin Strike a Ranger at Will that lets you make 2 Attacks one Main hand and one off hand.
In Paragon Tier we add the Feat Heavy Blade Opportunity which lets you use an at will attack in place of a normal attack when taking an Opportunity Action.
Now in Epic Tier we take the Feat Two Weapon Flurry
Which allows you to make an off hand attack whenever you successfully hit with your main hand during an opportunity action with a -5 penalty.
With these feats I use Twin Strike(main hand twin) for an opp attack, if the main hand hits Flurry lets me make an off hand attack that can also be Twin Strike(off hand Twin). If the main hand attack of my off hand twin hits I can make another off hand twin which will set up more main hand attacks which in turn lead to more off hand twins.
As a result of this the target is dead unless I miss. -
So the other day I was running around in Prae talking to random people on the street(ultimatley trying to find a contact) to see whatl ittle tid bits would show up.
I run into one of those info civilians specifically the one that tells you how long you've been logged in with a character. So in 8 hours I made it to level 12-12.5
Which doesn't seem to far out of the ordinary as I don't rush things or maximize my xp/min. -
Ok a little bit more on the Phantasmal Killer.
Gameplay wise the DM was rolling things in secret(which was fine we didn't care) so when I launched the killer he paused for a bit as we had a lot going on, he rolled some dice for ongoing effects and then said the this cleric uses their helm of telepathy to send it back.
I found out after the fact that my killer actually worked and yes we did get the helm as loot. -
That's a problem with the ambush mechanics and not specifically stalkers although they are affected by it the most.
-
Actually it does, it has a specific listing that it can send a phantasmal killer back at the caster. Of course the same effects that gave me absurd bonuses on casting the spells also gave absurd bonuses on defending against them.
-
And now a story from a previous game.
For this particular game the DM said anything goes, I want to see you break as much as you can.
So having been interested in shadow magic, I actually went ahead and built a Shadowmage from the Forgotten Realms setting.
Through class bonuses and some feat choices my character had absurd DC's for Illusion's and Necromancy effects. So much so that his level 1 spells had a DC of 19 (now remember base DC =10+Spell level+int mod).
So the game progressed and we ended up fighting a bbeg NPC Cleric(High Will and Fort saves), I opened with a Phantasmal Killer(Save vs Will to ignore, if that fails save vs fort or die) and low and behold the cleric actually failed both saves. The DM actually pulled a Helm of Telepathy out of nowhere so we actually had to fight this cleric, who was at a higher level than the party of which I was the lowest level.
Later on we found a collection of old 2E Drow weaponry(insane stats but eventually breaks in sunlight) realizing this I used Nystul's MAgic Aura to make the stuff appear as Normal magic weaponry with a bonus +1 higher than what the swords actually did, our Rogue with an absurdly high Bluf fSKill and miscellaneous bonuses from our Favored Soul that had morning buffs,afternnon buffs and night buffs convinced a store owner of the wepaons legitimacy (he couldn't see past the Aura, with his spells designed to see past such things) and we walked away with about a bazillion more gold than we should have been able to have for our level.
That was the last session for that particular game -
Well I have most of the splat books from 3.5.
Most of the Complete series, Expanded Psionics,Spell Compendium.
Maybe I should put them up on ebay or amazon or something. -
I had searched for about an hour on this and didn't turn up anything.
It may not exist. -

Expect the best, and get the worst, grief.
Considering the changes that were made for Brutes and Tankers, I'm very curious about what form the future changes to Stalkers will take.
I also hope Castle gets time to really look into it sooner rather than later. -
Quote:As far as I understand that flag was set for against players only.Out of curiosity, I believe the critical part of AS is indeed unresistable in PVP, or at least once was. How did that work there? Was it possible to AS and ignite an Oil Slick there?
I honestly don't know though as I don't PvP.
to Test Rat
Popularity has no bearing on what changes will get made, only on when they get made. If popularity mattered in regards to the type of changes that got made Domiantors wouldn't have seen the buff they got. -
While I agree it would be awesome and funny (my main is a NB/SR) it also shows how unresistable damage canbreak how things are supposed to work.
-
It would also do some weird things with certain pets.
Oil Slick Arrow for example, if AS dealt unresisted damage it would be possible to light the slick with spines.
I think this would also bypass phasing.
Essentially having unresisted damage in the hands of players can break too many things. -

Pun-Pun
The level 1 kobold with nigh infinite power.
The discussion is somewhat technical but it's all doable within the rules and without reliance on magic items.
Unfortunately you decided to pick 3.0/3.5 as the allowed rule set and have doomed us all. -
Quote:That was a great mission and moment. Also seems written like it was for my character.Awesome. Last night when I got my Rogue Morality mission for Alpha, I was gleeing out.
Although I didnt get to pilot a Zeus Titan like the Arbiter wanted me to (saaaad face), I DID give Arachnos a huge "Up yours!", punch an Arbiter in the face, and then smack around the Hero who wanted me to turn myself in. Ha! Jog on!
Could have been written for him, it was spot on
Of course now that He's attacked an Arbiter he can't hang out in the Isles too much. I had also run an RP storyline with him where he broke into M.A.G.I/(then again who hasn't?) so he needs to stay away from most government buildings in Paragon. Good thing he has Vanguard connections. -
That can't be entirely true, because of there's no artifact that would mean Kim never died, and if Kim never died than how did Henry end up with Grace?

Try a Corruptor of some sort.
Just about any Dom Combo should also work. -
So having nothing better to do I actually read through the whole case.
Almost half of the claims were dismissed, and the case is about
Defamation/Libel/Slander,Negligence,Gross Negligence, and Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress.
I'm fairly certain the defamation charges will be disprove, and all of the negligence charges will be easy enough for NC to disprove.
I've also learned the the EULA is actually a valid contract in several instances. -
As I was playing last night several times it felt as though when the mobs were designed, the dev's forgot we'd be fighting them at the TO/DO level.
Oddly enough building a few low level generic IO's has helped in some situations. -
they're are 2 types of ambushes. location targeted ambush and palyer targeted ambush.
A location targeted can be avoided by moving away from the trigger point. a player targeted can't be escaped. -
Not hat my Stalker is Rogue, I can't wait for the first person to die because they followed me towards the mob not realizing they don't have stealth.

Quote:Same for people who only play CoH.This is the point most people in the thread are getting at. People who play ONLY CoV and nothing else are limiting themselves when they don't absolutely need to.
-Rachel-
And with CoH and CoV having been merged there is no reason not to add things to CoV. Yet CoV has had very little content added for it. -
Granted GR isn't merged Yet.
While it's true you can't have GR without CoH/V you can certainly have CoH/V without GR for now.
Until that changes I don't think it's appropriate to include GR content in this discussion.
Especially since having GR makes this discussion pointless, since any At can do any content with GR active.
