My much ignored macro on my SR when we face nemessis: "Lts die LAST or I go solo the other half of the map while you struggle with stacked veng." =(

[/ QUOTE ]

This for me on any defense based toon.

[/ QUOTE ]

On my DM/EA I go and Taunt the mob, then Kill Warhulk/Fake Nem while the Fire/Psis would kill minions and lieuts. (Never really fought Nemesis outside of a Battle for Television farm).

[ QUOTE ]
I'd just get rid of the crash altogether and have Rage lower MaxEndurance when running. Say by ten or so (would need testing), so you're welcome to double-stack it, but then your MaxEnd is dropped by twenty.

I'd apply the same idea to Hasten.

[/ QUOTE ]

What I would do to overhaul it:

First, Allow double stacking as long as the crash applies through it.

Second, Change the power to add:

-30% Enhancement(End Reduction)

For both the up AND downtime of the power.

Change the crash to the following (Brute Version)

-3.75% Defense (Unresistable) for 10 seconds
-3.75% Defense (Resistable) for 10 seconds

-7.5% Resistance (Unresistable) for 10 seconds
-7.5% Resistance (Resistable) for 10 seconds

-80% Damage for 10 seconds

If you double stack rage during the 10s crash, you break even on damage... at the cost of TWO (-30% Enhancement(Endurance Reduction) effects.

2. If it can somehow be made blatantly obvious that phase shifted characters in PVE are phased. Can they float, glow, or become completely untargetable? Again for PVE only. I think Phase Shift works fine in PVP and should be left alone for those purposes.

[/ QUOTE ]

This. Just give us an "Invalid Selection" like what we get when Fake Nemesis mobs use their PFF.

[/ QUOTE ]

In all my time fighting Nemesis, I have not once seen this "invalid selection" business you're referring to. Every time I've attacked a Fake Nemesis who's put up his PFF, I get the "Unaffected!" message floating over his head.

[/ QUOTE ]

My Mistake - It might have been Crey Juggernauts or something.

Will it buff -def for say stone prison or fossilize?

[/ QUOTE ]Shouldn't. They're supposed to be unenhanceable.

[/ QUOTE ]

It Works according to mids. And You can do the same to enhance Active Defense (with a Membrane).

You can still double stack them - and in the case of SD, this is VERY valuable.

Hey - question.

Why is the Defense Crash the same for Brutes and Tankers? Brutes have .75 Defense modifiers compared to the Tankers 1.0.

When Unyielding from Invulnerability debuffed defense, it had -5% Defense to Tankers, and -3.75% for Brutes and Scrappers. There's precedent. Is there an actual reason or is it just an oversight?

i wonder what the quick tier 1 attack could end up being? im envisioning a cross between thorny darts and the snowball temp power from the winter events.

the other 8 will likely have hurl boulder a hammer attack and hopefully seismic smash. maybe fissure from the controller epics too.

[/ QUOTE ]

I believe it'll probably be the Stone Dart power used by critters - the same as thorny darts, though it might have an Activation time of 1 second.

I'm hoping for a Mud Slap power - a ranged Cone that has you slinging mud about, doing damage and reducing ToHit (Think Fling Thorns cone style).

I might - Might go with this: (Keep in mind this toon is a DM/EA without Medicine - so SL is a heal first and foremost)

Level 8: Siphon Life -- Theft of Essence-Acc/EndRdx/Rchg(A), Theft of Essence-Acc/EndRdx/Heal(9), Hecatomb-Dmg(9), Numina-Heal/EndRdx/Rchg(11), Numina-Heal/EndRdx(15), Numina-Heal(15)

34.8% acc, 53% dmg, 73.55% end, 88.94% heal, 34.8% rech

I don't frankenslot when I don't have too.

[ QUOTE ]
parry/Da is melee/lethal defense.

No love versus smashing, but there is a lot of lethal out there, including a lot of ranged lethal.

Yes, BS and Kat can deflect bullets.

[/ QUOTE ]

*Cough*Cascade Failure*Cough*

Yeah Parry would help a lot.

Also Blue side doesn't have as much Arachnos. No Fortunatas/Bane Spiders/TARANTULA QUEENS DAMMIT. (No perception for you!)

How about a Big Orange Word saying "PHASED" if you try to hit someone Intangible?

[/ QUOTE ]We already have it say "UNAFFECTED". Just in the same color as "MISS" and "DEFLECTED".

[/ QUOTE ]

What we need is a big orange word saying "PHASED" when you target something that's intangible, not just attack them.

[/ QUOTE ]

"Invalid Target" maybe? Don't even let them attack and select the next valid target?

I'd settle for being able to add camouflage and colors to the skins of the Robots.

Okay let's see:

Deamus the Fallen:

- Dark Melee: All Powers changed to a dark purple/red tone. If possible, change Siphon Life's animation to something that has a stabbing animation that has a green ring travel from my opponent to my chest (resulting in the heal).

- Energy Aura: Overload's Particle effects turned into a sort of Force Shield (think like the old Sonic Shields, but a little more subdued)

Dragos Bahtiam:

- Fire Blast: All Blasts changed to a Blue Flame.

- Ice Manipulation: All Attacks changed to red ice (Exceptions: Shiver, Frozen Aura).

Altimus Onega:

- Gravity Control: Dimension Shift's animation (assuming I take it) makes the target almost completely invisible.

Probably others as well.

Never played a more "tankish" feeling dominator, despite it having no armors.

Some very good guesses here on the powers, but Earth Assault will be a very melee heavy set.

[/ QUOTE ]

wiiiicked.... I can work with that.

[/ QUOTE ]

Urf/Urf it is then.

"What the heck is "Urf"?" - Sonic the Hedgehog, after an invading alien force refers to the planet they live on as "Earth".

[ QUOTE ]
Dimension Shift has always been one of the worst powers in the game. It is occasionally useful, but far more often troublesome. My advice? Just skip Dimension Shift. Many powersets have that one power that's just not worth taking. This is Gravity's.

[/ QUOTE ]

Though supposedly this makes "Fight Club"ing in PvP zones easier.

Move the power to slot 8. Move wormhole in its place. Take it if you want it. Leave it if you don't. Grav now has solid early AoE control. Problems solved for everyone.

[/ QUOTE ]

100% agree. I have DS in my current Grav/Energy Build (don't worry, I only solo with it lol) and it is hard to tell who has been affected and who hasn't.

Swap DS and WH and 90% of Grav's current problems (namely weak early game) are fixed.

[/ QUOTE ]

For the record, I disagree 100%. Wormhole is a late game power, Grav needs something better for the early game.

[/ QUOTE ]

Move GDF to tier 6, and Wormhole to tier 7. Also add a Disorient to Propel.

[ QUOTE ]
Going lower doesn't seem especially useful these days. There was a while where 10-15 was a really good bet, mostly because of the price of Basilisk's Gaze. After a while that dropped and the value there faded. I haven't checked that for a while, though.

[/ QUOTE ]

One nice thing about Rolling in the 10-14 range is that the only recipe that will drop at 50 is the Zephyr KB protection one - all the others will cap at 30, and the I13 recipes help inflate the pool a bit.

[ QUOTE ]
The don't stack? Hmm. I have one in each of my Merc pet summons... figuring it'd make them a debuffing mechien. ah well...

So, if i decide to take 2 of them out, who's the best one to leave it in? the soilders? figure they'd get the most shots off for a better chance of it landing... or just leave them all in so my odds are that much better to keep the debuff on as often as possible?

Maybe replace 2 of them with a resist IO and a Def one, and one -res prog...

Hmmm. have to think on this...

[/ QUOTE ]

There's a Negative Damage Proc one, and the two Res/Def aura enhancements DO stack with one another.

[ QUOTE ]
QR

What Spiritchaser said.

My DM/EA is a beast. Yes, I've sunk about 200M into the build, but she's quite fun to play and feels much more solid than my EM/FA Brute.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ditto here, though I dumped a LOT more than 200M. More like 700M, and I'm still not done with the build.

Personally I would miss Hurdle more than Health or Stamina on such a toon, but to each their own.

My DM/EA's last recorded level (which was more than a year ago, admittedly) had him at 1.47%/second, or 29.67 HP/Second. The Final Build will be 34.6 HP/Second.

Eradication is 3.13% Energy/Negative for 3 enhancements.

Accelerate Metabolism?

[/ QUOTE ]

It'd only get once chance to proc every time you clicked the power. Even if it was perma, that'd be one chance to proc every 2 minutes. Pretty much useless, if you ask me.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, quite useless. I have looked other powers that take endurance mods and the perf shifter proc in them would be a mistake.

People just need to accept that the proc is for QR/Stamina and Kheld Transform powers.

A possible 4th idea would be for electric armor and invulnerability's Tier 9 power (Gremlin form and Unstoppable respectively) that the proc could be in them since when in those modes your recovery is boosted, but it would only work when the power is clicked, and the instant the power crashes the proc would shut off. Such a power would not be an optimum usage of the proc.

[/ QUOTE ]

FWIW, DM/SR Scrappers/Brutes have placed all 6 enhancements into Dark Consumption for the Set bonus. But from the standpoint of the proc in a vacuum, I would only place it in Stamina/QR/Kheld Transformation powers - unless Transfusion will pass it to the pet, allowing you to get endurance from it every 8 seconds.

[ QUOTE ]
I think I figure it out. She only buffs "perception radius" and "Confuse Resistance" so I was partially incorrect. However I don't see her buffing accuracy at all? Wondering if its bugged or WAI.

I'd love it if she got the Widow Version of mind link..that would be the hawtness..lol.

[/ QUOTE ]

I remember when it came out that all it gave was Confuse resistance and Perception (as per the Patron Plaque). No Accuracy/ToHit. Might be an accidental addition.

[ QUOTE ]
CF is the easiest place to find ALL the things needed for the mission. You can, however, kill Freaks on your trek through Bricks if you want. Once in CF, I tend to kill Rikti Monkeys and Devouring Swarms. Both are found in large groups, and are underlings so pose no threat.

[/ QUOTE ]

Devouring Swarms can overwhelm you if you're a Flier - they can ground you into another mob, and getting hit with 20 odd autohit -Spd/-Rch attacks can add up (make sure you know how many are in the mob - they have no collision).
