Quote:Doesn't the pulsing sleep from elec come with a pretty powerful end drain?Originally Posted by EricHough
Thats pretty much the best choice for a sapping melee AT and if you slot up end mod in power sink you can get it up to nearly an 80% end drain - go with an agility alpha and you will get it up to 91% end drain. However, an electric/psi dom is pretty much a melee range character as well since your sapping tools are both PBAoE (conductive aura + drain psyche) and your best damage is also PBAoE. -
Quote:I took Fly without Afterburner twice - my Warshade's Nova form, and my Crab took hover and ONLY hover.Originally Posted by docbuzzard
If I opt for flight as my travel power, I always take afterburner. The exposure to it makes flying without it unpleasant since it is so much slower.
Truth be told afterburner has lead to many more of my alts using super jump simply because if I can't fit in afterburner, I don't have any interest in fly anymore. -
Quote:Actually the only power I DID check real numbers for was the ST Ranged attack from Sorcery - based on the damage I saw, I can say that two or three of my characters will pick it up... or try to fit into the build at least.Originally Posted by Oathbound
Were this Water Blast or Nature Affinity, I could tell you the exact numbers, but Bio Armor didn't really interest me, so I never got around to recording the info while we still could.
Oh and I also looked at the numbers for the final power in Sorcery and I'm DEFINITELY gonna try to work that in. -
Quote:Ill/Time/Mu Troller - He's running the Total RADIAL (4% Confusion and 75% DoT proc rate) T3 and he almost always confuses one or two mobs, and when I get the T4 it's gonna be insane.Originally Posted by Yogi_Bare
Unless you already have Confuse powers or some pretty righteous AoEs; you're probably not going to get much out of the mez portion of Cognitive.
I use it on a plant/storm and even with all of the spam-AoE from both sets; it would do me little good without having Seeds as both foundation and filler. -
Quote:Maybe because you CHOOSE to send the sword/mace through a target - if it had no occlusion a whip would be practically guaranteed to clip through 3 or 4 enemies with every attack.Originally Posted by VKhaun
Why would it have to be done? My swords swing through things, my mace goes through things, my bullets don't ricochet, but whip needs realism or we can't put it in?

Quote:Improved Mitosis isn't one of the powers we saw leaked but Genetic Corruption is a PBAoE Sleep with -Damage... meaning it's basically a PBAoE Poison Gas Arrow. Since Improved Mitosis was added then it might have been improved but...Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
EDIT: Ah, indeed, looks like they may lose both. There are a couple extra Stalker-only powers in the set: Genetic Corruption and Improved Mitosis.

Quote:The other issue is that those aren't whip attacks - they're fiery attacks that take the form of a whip - an ACTUAL whip couldn't be produced vis a vie the reaction when you hit a target with the whip (the recoil can't be done with the graphics engine AFAIK).Originally Posted by Oathbound
I believe the hurdle is that doing just the 4 whip based animations in Demon Summoning, took as much time and as many resources as developing a full powerset.

Quote:I was in the live invasions last year and it was hard to keep track of our league that was PARTICIPATING in the event. It was really, really annoying how they were running two or three or four events simultaneously (two blue, two red) but it all looked the same.Originally Posted by Tyger42
How much time do you spend, say, RPing and trying to keep up with the chat channel? Or in a trial with someone giving instructions/trying to give them yourself? Or any other situation where you have to keep up with already moderate to fast moving chat?
Also I don't like it flaring up ALL my windows. If the only thing in a tab is rewards, or black market, make an exception. -
Hasten, Kuji-In-Rin, and Domination - Originally I set up a bind file to alternate between Domination and Hasten but That grew problematic so I set Domination to auto and hasten to tilde.

I miss old-school Whirlwind - how am I supposed to lockdown Paragon Protectors now?

Quote:That Mole Machine is for SSA 1.4 - it's the mission entrance for the second to last mission IIRC.Originally Posted by Wicked_Wendy
Do NOT quote me on this but I think you may get your wish eventually. I was doing a little exploration badging with my Vigilante Brute in St. Martial and came across a Mole Machine. I swooped down to check it out and it was clickable but I got a message stating Entrance was not available. Someone quoted Zwilliger stating that the raids were just the opening for the event.. If we keep finding Mole machine that weren't there before .. I think we can assume that some story line has to be attached to them
Also [A Nemesis Plot] DOES have a notification, but the 8th anniversary badge does not. -

The Fake Nemesis do spawn - they're using every troop type.

Quote:In addition, if you fall in AE then you lose patrol xp instead of gaining debt - which is why my TW Toon used experienced whenever it was up and he had few than 3 bars of patrol xp. (And he STILL had 12 charges left at 50).Originally Posted by Arkyaeon
You're patrol is shrinking because your XP bar is getting bigger. Having 5 bars of patrol XP at level 15 is not 5 bars of patrol XP at level 25

Quote:To be fair, I asked if it was WAI as far as pay to win was concerned - If I got a greenlight, I would've bought a dozen or so Performance Shifter procs.Originally Posted by Ukaserex
Some players bought the SBE expecting X, where X equaled what was in game. What they got, was X+y. A lot of people that got X+y didn't even know they got the +y. However, at least one person did (the OP) and those that saw what was going on felt it was an issue. (and obviously, for some, it is.)
Then, instead of X+y, they got X-y.
Actually I was surprised I got an answer so quickly.
I'm more upset about the 90% proc cap being floated in the proc change thread - I *DID* buy that lockdown proc for my Soul Storm power with the understanding it was WAI at 100% proc rate. -
Quote:I really have to wonder why so many people advocate skipping the T1 blast or attack in a set with 4 and 8 second recharge T1/2s - I can't make the attack chain work without insane amounts of recharge, and it's so end hungry it's almost impossible to run anyways (My Brute dropped his T1 attack for boxing and I dropped that when I realised boxing sucked - between Smite, Siphon Life, Gloom, and Midnight Grasp I could maintain a free flowing attack chain ONLY with Entropic Aura's +Recharge component).Originally Posted by Obscure Blade
On the other hand, Single Shot is a first tier power and can therefore be used while mezzed*, and has a chance for knockdown which helps survival.
* For that reason alone I never skip the first two primary powers on any blaster. -
Quote:I bought ONE Lockdown proc when it was put on sale - it had a 100% proc rate in Shadow Storm, which made it worthwhile for my stalker to buy it. I'm not necessarily angry that it's now capped at 90%, but rather there was NO reason for me to buy it since I already had a level 30 proc in the power which I overwrote for the SBE version.Originally Posted by BrandX
So Synapse, out of all those saying "Yes. I like your changes. Make the changes. Change what was bought because they were told WAI." how many of them actually bought the SBEs?
I'm curious to that one.
EDIT:
I lol'ed.Quote:Originally Posted by Cheetatron
I think people like our foolish selves who invested in PPs and PM must be pretty small, because the second people started complaining about "pay to win" in this highly, highly competitive, mostly pvp game, the performance differences afforded by the ppm system became "unintended" or atleast that was the rhetoric that applied -
Quote:Yeah, I was thinking maybe allow all forms of recharge to work, but cap it at 100% enhancement (then my Spiritual/Agility toons wouldn't get hit for the full 125% recharge value).Originally Posted by StratoNexus
On the other hand, global recharge already has huge benefits; so why does someone with 30% recharge slotted and 170% global recharge deserve more procs than someone with 70% recharge slotted but only 30% global recharge? It seems a case of letting the rich get richer while the middle class stays stuck (or loses ground). It may be the only mechanical way to handle it due to outside buffs and due to the very good points about building for large amounts of global recharge due to other facets of your build, but this way may be just as unfair to possibly more people.

I'm not sure how this change will effect my Defensive Sweep power on my Brute - It's got one Armageddon Acc/Rech, and 5 damage procs (Armageddon, Obliteration, Eradication, Scirocco's Dervish, and Perfect Zinger). I use it as filler for my Single Target attack chain and for random damage as an aoe (but Whirling Smash and Arc of Destruction more than cover that aspect). I'm hoping it wont be too badly affected, but I'll just slot some damage enhancements in place of all the procs.
-
So just to be clear, will this new formula take Spiritual or Agility alphas into consideration? (I'm betting yes but just want to be clear)
-
Just to clarify, will these changes affect PVP-IO procs as well? Even in PVP?

Quote:Wrong. If I can't RELY on the hide proc to work EVERY TIME it's worthless to me.Originally Posted by MisterD
I know the stalker ato proc keeps getting brought up, but really..anyone who can look at how it works, and NOT say it is simply too awesome has no idea about the game.
Dont get me wrong, I LOVE how it works. But come on..every time? Even working 50% of the time would be flat out awesome, to not having the proc.
If I have to monitor my proc results to see **IF** I got the hide effect from a power that has a 5% miss chance to begin with, then I have to waste time before I activate Concentrated Strike - time that almost always ensures I'll be hit and lose the hidden status anyways.
If I can't get a 100% Proc rate (even if I have to catalyze it to get that rate) then I'm going to drop the set entirely from my build, as it actually doesn't add anything set bonus wise.
And for that matter? Announcing changes to Hecatomb AFTER IT'S BEEN ON SALE FOR TWELVE HOURS IS COMPLETELY UNDERHANDED.
Oh and if my lockdown proc wont work 100% of the time in Soul Storm I'm calling customer service - and if I don't get a refund I'm deleting it out of spite.
