If the Devs are going to change Psy assualt I hope they leave this power alone. I wouldn't have said that 3 weeks ago but some play back at the lower levels has completely changed my tune.

Tone the Activation to 1s and I'll be very happy.

sorry bub, AT changes != PvP changes

case in point, Stalkers last buff.

anways, his latest bit said if there was going to be change, it would be balanced around the Blaster version.

[/ QUOTE ]

*Shudder*

I just ran some numbers - if he does exactly the same thing it will amount to a gutting of PSW.

Radius Cut from 25' to 15'
Recharge doubled from 10s to 20s
Damage going from 70.8 to 39.7

That last one worries me a bit.

So, slotting 4 damage procs(Posi, one of the KB set chance for smashing, and the accurate defbuff damage proc and the def debuff damage proc) in say Electron Haze for my Corr would be a good idea? Or just 3 procs.

[/ QUOTE ]

In a Corruptor, I'd advise against doing that. They're good subsitutes for straight Damage IOs in Neutrino Bolt, but in Electron Haze they actually make it worse with more than one (assuming you're sacrificing Damage % for them). They also don't benefit from Scourge.

[/ QUOTE ]

However, they aren't affected by Malefactor Scaling - my Rad/Kin is gonna be a buzzsaw running a level 15 Arc.

By the way - You can put up somewhat low bids for Level 15 IOs - people who are getting the badges will simply post them for chump change. Make sure you bid BEFORE you need them - it can be tricky getting them at a moment's notice.

CoH: GR comes out.

My Blaster and Warshade go red.

I bid Paragon City goodbye.

(Caveat: If I would lose my Blaster's 1st Anniversary badge, I might not cross him over)

Is the way the Photos broke the forum why we can't post photos?

Or is that that whole Obscenity thing.

Pretty sure Antidote is not a Heal.

If the base amount was raised considerably, even Nin stalkers might not complain.

I'm confused...how is it that Alkaloid is Power Boostable if it has an enhanceable resistance component...wasn't that the whole point that was just discussed?

[/ QUOTE ]

My point exactly.

Alkaloid's Toxic Resistance is not enhanceable.
Antidote's Toxic Resistance is.

I have also never played GTA, and could never bring myself to do it. I can not disengage my moral compass like that. I know that most of my friends think I'm silly and hopeless, I just can't seem to do it without having the intense desire to go shower afterward.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just so you know, you can play GTA without being a total butthead beating up pedestrians for their money and whatnot. Just because the possibility is there doesn't mean you have to do it. Sure you're playing a bad guy, but everyone else you are fighting in those games are also bad guys, even the crooked cops. You can even drive the speed limit and stop for traffic signals if you really want to.



[/ QUOTE ]

Isn't that just (arbitrarily self-inflicted) Hard Mode? You can't jack any cars other than the mission's requirements?

[ QUOTE ]
If Castle wants a heal's +Res to be enhanceable (and in many cases, the self heal's +Toxic res is the only source of protection from Toxic the set gets), he has to mark the whole power as unbuffable. He could make the heal buffable by setting the resistance to be unenhanceable and unbuffable, but it seems he's unwilling to do that.

[/ QUOTE ]

Antidote has an enhanceable Resistance component.

[ QUOTE ]
Undoubtedly. You can see them in the trailer.

[/ QUOTE ]

I saw pistols, but were there Demons?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
if you ask me, most people would probably be happy to make the dmg res in Recon (and Healing Flames, and...Alkaloid...and...?) unenhanceable in order to have the set bonuses effect it (them)

[/ QUOTE ]
The powers system doesn't allow it. The way Castle explained it was that the unenhanceable flag would apply to the entire power, not just the resistance component.

[/ QUOTE ]

You sure about that? Mids is telling me Power Boost effects Alkaloid just fine (the Resistance in that power IS unenhanceable).

I wonder if a Necro Mastermind goes Blue then the Zombies will be refitted so you get the impression the MM had permission to bring them back - or that they're so evil it's fitting.

Thugs can work - Reformed Freakshow exist.

Please read some guides and posts in this forum. The market is seriously the friendliest thing to the casual player the game has ever seen.

And if you're actually out beating stuff up, higher prices mean you sell things for more.

The market is not a store. It works fantastically if you don't try to use it like one.

I'm a casual billionaire from my 5 mins a session on the market when i'm logging routine.

Every time I do that I Mapserver.

[ QUOTE ]
Yes, they are apparently too busy making new stuff to fix the existing stuff. Of course, if something in the new stuff doesn't work right, they'll pile more "new stuff" on that too, hoping that no one notices....

There are plenty of bugs here and there (So DARN many powers that don't work while hoving....GRRRRR....), and the longer you play and the more you try to play with unique builds the more you run into them. I bugged this one pretty much every time I played my Dom. Since there was absolutely 0 feedback on this obvious BUG, I've mothballed my Dom. It's just another dead character I chalked up to a dev-ignored bug.

Edit: Heh, I just realized I had a post with the exact same title about 2 months ago.

[/ QUOTE ]

Right. Because they never fixed Chain Induction - oh wait.

[ QUOTE ]
No matter how hard you try, HP regen must be factored unless heavy debuffs are employed to neuter regeneration.

You'd really be looking at resist values + regen versus defense values +regen. 90% resistance wins against everything within reason due to better synergy here.

[/ QUOTE ]

Against Longbow? Not Likely - Spec Ops have their EMP Grenade for -1200% Regen.

[ QUOTE ]
The Point is the 90 resist brute would take 10 percent damage minus whatever the miss rate would be of the mobs. A capped defense brute would still take the 7.5 percent damage. While it looks like 10 percent damage is more then 7.5 def it does not take into account that the 90 resist brute is still being missed a decent percentage of the time.

[/ QUOTE ]

And if there are Defense Debuffs/Resistance Debuffs? Resistance builds will take the entire Brunt and dual-mitigation will take some as well - My Crab DETESTED Longbow Nullifiers, but my DM/EA Brute strolls into 3 or 4 of them without batting an eye.

Won't it proc on yourself when you cast Burn though?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think this is: No, because the pet does not grant the immob protection, and its burn power, which triggers the proc, doesn't target you anyway, so double no.

It seems for maximum proc'age, you'd want to put it in Blazing Aura, unless you have a PBAoE whose entire cast cycle is less than 10 seconds. I don't know how good of an idea that really is. I have some damage proc in Quills (full set of obliteration I think) for a set bonus, but I haven't really noticed it doing that much overall. I suppose its better than nothing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Okay, then explain why Lightning Rod has it proc on you.

[ QUOTE ]
No SS/SR guides....no SR guides o.@ Or is scrapper SR the same numbers?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, but the order is different (and Evasion has a taunt aura).

Mine was in the 600s. I did level slowly so that I could try and do all the available content though. Things are different now we have Orororro(sp?)

[/ QUOTE ]

Ouroboros, I think?

I, for the record, am loving Teleport. Once I learned how to stop teleporting myself in circles, that is.

I feel like I can go anywhere, and get there quickly!

(I do have it slotted with 2 IO range and 2 IO endurance reduction... so that I can get past about 700 yards without keeling over... but they're only level 15, so there's still room to improve!)

[/ QUOTE ]

Teleport seems to be my second most used power after Fly. I have a couple of characters with Super Jump and less than 5 with Super Speed.

[/ QUOTE ]

All my Toons high enough have SS (except my VEATS - they have Hurdle + CJ). Then, my Blaster, Brute and Dominator have SJ on top of that. And my WS has TP (and SS). I can't be bothered waiting for Fly and Teleport's slots (and the fact that TP has a nasty habit of demolishing my end bar).

fabulous. ; )

and out of curiosity, what is the resist cap? i don't play brutes : p

[/ QUOTE ]

Same as Tankers - 90%.

[ QUOTE ]
thorn got decent damage? O_o

well.. don't see where.

i feel all the other secondary do better. yes even energie

oh and thorntrop even with 2 damage proc, can't be considered as a "good AoE damage dealer". it's more a kind of soft control in fact (slow + fear effect)

[/ QUOTE ]

Single Target is lacking - but 2 AoEs plus a melee cone and Trops bends the curve for AoE.

[ QUOTE ]
there is a 1% chance you recieve a pvp IO
so every 100 kills means you're guranteed atleast one

[/ QUOTE ]

Lawl Gambler's Fallacy.

Won't it proc on yourself when you cast Burn though?

[ QUOTE ]
There is one of each.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, but I thought it was:

Shield Wall: +Res (Defense Set)
and
Gladiator's Armor: +Def (Resistance Set)

[ QUOTE ]
There is actually a way to get a 'permanent' jet pack (fly). You have to get the Dimensional Explorer Badge, or for villains, Arachnos Official Badge acquired by being logged out for so many hours in the Shadow Shard or Grandville. It has a maximum of 30 minutes of fuel, which can only be refueled by spending more time logged out in Shadow Shard or Grandville. It's fairly easy to maintain so long as you remember to log out in those zones, and will satisfy most your verticle movement needs.

[/ QUOTE ]

What level can you get this at?

[/ QUOTE ]

For Heroes, once you reach Security Level 40. For Villains, the moment you can reach Grandville without Dying.

Of course, you can simply purchase a second Raptor Pack (same temp power as the AP Safeguard/Mayhem) from the same zones.
