Heh... Buff invuln.

You get your hands off me QR hippie. You need to stop with this foolishness and start working for what WILL fix SR. I.E. Roll the AoE toggle into the Ranged toggle and then replace the AoE toggle with a Reconstruction clone. Get drunk. Profit.

[/ QUOTE ]

Or you could give SR a click resist power that functions like dull pain... Or dull pain for that matter.

As for what to do with MoG... I say it should be a click power that makes the next attack that lands insta kills us, right after we go nova and blow up everything on screen.

Im only half joking. I think it would be much more enjoyable then the crap it is now, and it wouldnt mess up any of Arcanna's math equations.

And it makes revive more usefull...

[ QUOTE ]
Thought #4: Funny you should mention this, because in my (as yet unposted) scrapper secondary balance analysis, I considered the option of taking quick recovery away from regen, strengthening it, and giving it to SR. Net damage mitigation change: zero. And yet, it creates all sorts of interesting balance opportunities.


[/ QUOTE ]

Now your just being mean...

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Yup, QR and DP have to get the bat. In Issue 7 they'll have to nerf Revive and Resilience because they're about the only things left un-nerfed.

[/ QUOTE ]

You know, I was going to six slot recharges into revive after the intergration/instant healing enhancement nerf, then ED came along and [censored] up my plan. There just getting us every way we turn.

[/ QUOTE ]

Im telling yah... They are going to make MoG a 10 second click that makes you blow at the end and die, doing damage to all nearby teamates. It will have the chance to disorient nearby villians for a brief time, and when combined with revive and recharges will almost be perma.

This will be the most uber power in the game when teamed with a large number of defenders that have vengeance, fallout etc...

Im having trouble with my Invincible missions with my lvl 32 katana/regen, but mainly because I borked my respec.

Its been kinda hard to be motivated to play my busted toon.

Mostly because my BS/DA is running so smooth right now...

Fear the flying dustball of doom!

As I said in the Regen nerf wars of I3 and I4, Regen by itself was incredible, but it was only with the addition of these other powers that it crossed into godly.

[/ QUOTE ]

And that is why I qualified my story with the fact that I was using Claws as a primary and using Tough. Regen by itself is useless if the opening attacks from two Bosses is enough to put you down... except for Revive.

[/ QUOTE ]

Heh... I can kill purple Lost bosses with my lvl 13 corruptor... I could never do that with my scrappers at that level.

Regen and invuln used to be a "quest for the holy grail" type powerset with you getting to lvl 28. Now they have a much more balanced power progression... Though now regen has become more front heavy than anything.

You get all your must have powers by your mid 20s, the rest is mostly situational.

I personally dont like having 20+ levels of "situational" power picks... But maybe thats just me

I will say one thing though, I am whole lot better at killing stuff now than I used to be (gameplay wise, not power wise).

It's a graphic error. The debuff fades, it just leaves the graphic attached. It has been reported, and we're looking into it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hey, stop stealing our Rep dammit. First Scrappers, now you guys. Get your own!

[/ QUOTE ]

You better listen to him.

We tried to lure Castle into the scrapper forums... And now they dont work!!!

The scrapper forums have now been jerk hacked and will BE GONE TO THE AMERICANS!

One thing about kin is that can boost its damage more than any other defender, expecially when combined with sonic blast.

Its also the only AT that can keep hasten up pretty much perma after ED because of siphon speed.

The only reason kin should have much trouble with DA is because of opressive gloom and cloak of fear.

Anyway, I had an interesting conversation yesterday with a controller I was teamed with in warburg.

She were quite surprized how easy she could hold an invuln scrapper with both unyeilding and unstoppable running at the same time.

Key word there was "easy".

When I explained that the devs had dropped the scrapper mez protection, the response was:

"Wow, thats a pretty bad nerf. Its not like I had much trouble holding them before. Now its just too easy."

[ QUOTE ]
Who is in the second group for kinetics?


[/ QUOTE ]

Havent tested it yet, but I would say kin would be good against DA scrappers and Fire Tanks...

Low defense and no knockback or slow protection.

Regen scrappers will be screwed against kin because of the - regen in transfusion. And thats all they get...

Are you including Shadow Maul in this fix?, as although it's not a cone power, it does have the ability to effect more than one mob, and is behaving in the exact same way. If the target moves, even slightly, the attack will virtually always miss!

[/ QUOTE ]

Shadow Maul is in fact a cone power.

[/ QUOTE ]

i wasnt even aware shadow maul was a stalker power.
*;Glares at the Scrappers*

Step away from the Stalker AT Rep, this is one AT you do not want a war with

[/ QUOTE ]


Since scrappers dont have an AT rep (and alot of scrappers play stalkers) we have adopted Castle, the coolest of the reps.

Now if we could just lure him into our forum...

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
_Castle_ you rock. Can we assume you're the Scrapper rep? If not, will you be? We need someone like you. We're an unruly lot.

[/ QUOTE ]
I was a fan long before I started working here, so I like being able to participate with the community in a meaningful manner. I was on the boards as a fan within days after they went up a few years back and got used to posting on ocassion.

[/ QUOTE ]

That settles it then. You are now the adopted scrapper rep.

Here is some cookies...

For destroying Tankers and everything they ever stood for.

If they are as bad as everyone KNOWS they will be, I will be cancelling my account the same day.


[/ QUOTE ]

Ok, two things. Two sad, sad statements.

Tanks are fine, if you don't believe me I'll show you the ones I play with. If I can tank 6 +2s and live to complain about it with my 'underpowered' sloting(he's an invun tank mind you) I don't think you've got ground to stand on for that one.

And it isn't that friggen bad. Try it before you complain. And I don't mean on invincible, I mean on the real level the game was originally made for. You'll be fine.My blaster is actually better after ed, I can finally take bosses one on one.

[/ QUOTE ]

Dude... My kinetics defender can tank 6 +2 mobs...

They will just make reconstruction interuptable.

Yay for aid self!

Ive been trying to spread the word.

Nobody in the defender forums seemed too interested though...

[ QUOTE ]
EvilGeko, I know you are BS/Regen, but do you by any chance know of a good I5 DM/Regen guide? I'm looking everywhere with no success.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, I don't. Wish I did. I'm kinda winging it with my DMs.

[/ QUOTE ]

You could just follow Stupid_Fanboys guide. It works for all AT combos...

Technically, shouldnt your CoV handle be "GoodGeko"?

Goody little two shoes...

Yeah... But right now phase shift is unique.

Its getting lonely.

So the devs are going to give it a friend.

"Phase shift, meet MoG. MoG, meet phase shift"

Hah... Just wait till they make reconstruction interuptable

Well, now that ED is out in the open, we have to move on.

What will our nerfs be in I7?

Hmm...

I got it!

IH will be turned back into a toggle, Dull pain will be turned into a toggle, and so will resislience.

Then, they will all be made exclusive to each other.

Since IH will be a toggle again, it will loose half of its unenhancable haling rate.

DP will be reduced to a 20% hitpoint buff.

Resiliance will get a "buff" and be made 10% base resists to all -psi, but will get a minor defense debuff to balance it out.

Oh... And they will decide MoG should realy be a "moment" and reduce its duration to 30 seconds. Recharge will stay the same...

*Sits down in the lounge*

Well.... <censored>.

And that about sums up ED.

Regeneration Instant Healing - Returned Instant Healing to a toggle; reduced its regeneration buff; recharge remains the same (650 sec.); Instant Healing turns off after 60 secs of use and can be detoggled.

Regen Scrappers didn't like to have so many clicks. Improvement to the power.

[/ QUOTE ]

that's not even funny, dude. don't joke about that.

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah, i really hope the devs aren't reading this...

[/ QUOTE ]

Nah... They will just make IH be more like PFF and hibernate by making it impossible for you to attack while it is activated.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
dude, it's not. trust me, if you don't get beta, buy the game for at least the first month. It may look the same at first but... well, I caN't Divulge Any more

[/ QUOTE ]

*shrug* I never wanted to play the villian, and really the only interest I have in CoV is getting the chance to punch "Statesman", if there even is such a mission.

I don't want to endorse CoV until they put some real thought and effort into improving CoH and not just slapping bandaids on it. The fact that CoV gets all the cool ideas talked about on these forums, all the cool upgrades, all the neat new fetures while all our heroes get is nerf after nerf is bad enough. I'm certainly not going to "approve" all of that by actually purchasing CoV.

That said if I get the chance to play it for free via the beta I'd do that just to see what it is all about, but no, my only long term interest at this point is the Incarnate. If that is good I might stick around, if it blows I think I'll be done with CoH for good.

[/ QUOTE ]


Oh, lots of stuff from CoV will be migrating to CoH... Like replacing QR with stealth

You know what, I think Ive finally figured out how they will nerf regen. Its so perfect its frightening.

Using new cutting edge programming, players will actually recieve an electric shock through their keyboard every time they activate a power in the regeneration line.

This will reinforce the "risk vs reward" model.

As an added balance feature, every time you activate MoG a Cryptic employee will go to your house and punch you in the face.

This will help to keep player immersion at a high level durring play.

Thank you for your time

They are going to change regens animations to green versions of DA.

They will finally change MoG to be more in line with the "new and improved regen". It will become an auto power that makes you explode and die every time your life hits 25%. It will damage all enemies and teamates in the blast area... Except Blasters.

[ QUOTE ]
Defiance is a scrapper power.

[/ QUOTE ]

Please stop trying to pawn this power off onto scrappers.

Just cause you dont want it doesnt mean we do.

About the only class that might want it I think are Tankers, and then you would have to trade them punchvoke for it.

What? You dont want punchvoke on a blaster? Thats crazy!



*Edit*

You know what my grandfather used to always say?

There aint no good end to a <insert another word for poop here> stick.
