got it slotted on my brute. Not sure if the heal rate is based off his hp though, only have it on one toon.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you're in PvP, it's straight +regen, slightly better than a Miracle.

If you're in PvE, it is off the melee healing table, which does happen to be be a ratio of your AT's HP. So it will heal more on a Tanker than a Defender, for example.

[/ QUOTE ]

Figured as much on the heal, since I only have it one toon. Wasn't gonna toss facts around w/o seeing it myself. Besides most of my toons are pve as are most peoples toons. The 7.5 endurance every few seconds already makes this worth enough to slot.

[/ QUOTE ]

Is the Brute in question level 50? Cause I punched those numbers in for a level 50 and got 4.33% of your base HP.

[ QUOTE ]
Hm. Even with knockdown, I've been hit by bosses. Maybe it's a function of my connection rather than the game mechanics.

[/ QUOTE ]

When I use Lift on my Grav/Psi too quickly after the previous Lift the enemy will be launched in the air upright - they can still attack me, and they land on their feet.

[ QUOTE ]
Btw, when slotted into AoE healing powers (like Radiant Aura) these Procs will still only affect me correct?
Would make one hell of a combination for healers otherwise

[/ QUOTE ]

Only you.

[ QUOTE ]
Crabspiders and wolfspiders will notice this more because venomgrenade makes them run away. I believe most toxic damage attacks do this already but these seem to cause more often.

[/ QUOTE ]

Which is why I go School of Sharks -> Venom -> Frag -> Suppression.

Would someone repost that "MOAR SHARK" Shark ASCII picture? I lost it.

[ QUOTE ]
I have it in Tactics on my Controller and can honestly say I have never felt it go off... maybe it has and I just never noticed it. Is there ANY sort of graphical indication? Buff icon, build up sound/effect, anything?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope. Just monitor your damage bonus. It works wonders.

They are not, however, in the mission complete pool or available from merits.

[/ QUOTE ]

You can earn them from merits, I recieved a Apoc Chance for dmg (lethal IIRC) from the 46-50 Random Trial Reward.

Nothing like a cool 100mil to beef up my NW

[/ QUOTE ]

Everything about that is off-base.

You can't get it from merits at all.

It's not lethal damage.

No one would have bought the chance for damage from you for 100M.

[/ QUOTE ]
I was fully going to call him on the last one as well. Then I went and looked at Apocalypse prices on the BM, and when I looked, a crafted version of that proc actually had gone for 100M+.

I was stunned by the prices realized on that set in the wake of 2xp weekend. Stunned.

Other than that, yeah - agreed entirely.

[/ QUOTE ]

In summation: Screenshots or it didn't happen.

Just an FYI: The Ouroboros day job benefit is Pool A. It might count for purples if you are 47+.

It doesnt give you a BU animation, so you dont know if its active or not.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hello, /togglecombatnumbers ... select 'monitor' on damage bonus. Also handy for determining if your Siphon Power is still stacked.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup. Even monitoring the healing delivered channel doesn't work. I've had it call out a Boost Up with no bonus, and had stealth bonuses as well. Monitoring damage is sorta second nature for me though - Brutes and all that.

5: Giant Monsters: We need more and we need more incentive to fight them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Being able to spawn two of them is nice (although Deathsurge gets annoying), and the fact that 1 of them is needed for an accolade helps (then again, it's the Immob...).

[/ QUOTE ]

The biggest problem with the Giant Monsters is when they run. Are you effin' kidding me? Giant Monster. Run from a fight?! Giant Monsters should aggro easily and keep attacking until they or their target(s) are dead!

The introduction of Merits has made Giant Monsters a more worthwhile... except when you have to chase them across the rooftops (which is especially bad if you have Lackeys or other low-level characters that are having to avoid street-spawns while still trying to contribute to the fight).

[/ QUOTE ]

The only GM that runs that doesn't bother me is Lusca. Since s/he only does it after you beat a tentacle.

Is Mids correct on Gravity Control's damage?

- Crush
- 1.33s Activation Time
- 4s Recharge
- 18.6x5 = 92.8 damage over 9.2 seconds

- Lift
- 1.03s Activation Time
- 6s Recharge
- 84.7 damage

- Gravity Distortion
- 1.83s Activation Time
- 8s Recharge
- 24.9x5 = 124.5 damage over 4.2 seconds

- Propel
- 3.50s Activation Time
- 8s Recharge
- 110.1 damage

Why is Gravity Distortion doing more damage than Propel? Propel is as much a damage power as lift, and you can fire THREE lifts in the time it takes to fire one propel. Is there a justification or is Propel simply doing too little damage?

[ QUOTE ]
Not until after they fix energy assault probably.

And Grav

MA? I could go either way on that.

[/ QUOTE ]

What about Shields?

Also: Skipping Fitness? Are you high? Health is practically necessary.

For EVERY secondary.

Except Regen. Or Willpower.

I'm not waiting 3 minutes to get to full health. After every single mob.

1. They both misrepresent the minimum and maximum contact levels. For instance, selecting 16-19 when "real" levels can be 15-20. As in the case of say, Willie Wheeler.

2. From these two sources, some Merit Total differences are:

---(15-20) Willie Wheeler gives 6 Merits when I received 8 Merits total from two Arcs.

[/ QUOTE ]

1. Willy Wheeler's arc "There's a Sucker born Every Minute" is found in the 15-19 range in Ouros. His "Agent of Discord" mission is 15-20.
2. I ran "There's a Sucker born Every Minute" and got 6 merits.

The Crab Spider Channelgun/Longfang swap isn't included in the new patch.

Neeeecccccrrrroooooo....

Is that correct? I thought it was Smash/Lethal/Melee. It's listed as Negative instead of Melee.

Flashbacks are treated like Task/Strike Forces - everyone gets the reward.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks for the info - never did any on test so I wasn't sure. This then might be a good source for me. I saw at least one suggestion for opening up the FB system earlier, which might be nice as well.

[/ QUOTE ]

Let me put it this way. I'm 99% sure it works this way, because everyone on team who did "Trading Places" got the enhancement at the end.

[ QUOTE ]
If the new design philosophy is that you have to run TF's in order to get even the moderate level of rewards that I do today - then I'm going to be on the outside looking in.

Run flashbacks. The payouts aren't as good as TFs in terms of merit/unit time, but they don't suffer from diminishing returns either.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd be fine with that - so long as I am still able to team to do this. I am a bit concerned that the fact that only the arc holder gets the reward will make it harder to construct teams for this kind of play. I do not play this game to solo, so if that's what I have to do to support my IO habbit, then I'll probably be unhappy.

Look, I get it, you HATE the market. It's not like I'm its biggest fan, but here's the thing - if you have some patience it can be a way to convert INF (something I can get) into Recipes (some of which I never get). I'm a casual player in terms of playtime. I play at most 8 hours per week (and usually a lot less). I play in sessions that average an hour in length (typically in lieu of some TV after the kids are put to bed). My richest toon is a lvl 50 villain who has about 40Mil on him.

Yet... I still am able to make use of set IOs and have a lot of fun with them. I go after the low to mid cost items (I cringe if I have to pay more than 2mil for something) and am somewhat creative with them. It is one of the few remaining reasons that I play the game (going on 4 years now and I've pretty much worn the non-TF content to death). Although it is far from perfect, the current system is working for me and I'd prefer if they didn't mess it up. If merits turn out to be purely additive, then great. If not, I hope they do something to adjust things.

With Oroboros and other teleportation powers? I think not.

I think pool C recipes will disappear completely from the redside market, bluesides will just skyrocket in price.

[/ QUOTE ]

Keep in mind the Random Pool C roll will be a better deal in I13. There are two recipes in each of the new IO sets in Pool C, including things like Basilisk's Gaze (Quad will be VERY popular), Eradication and Obliteration (PBAoE Damage procs), and all the new categories. I MIGHT start pulling random rolls with my alts for the IOs I need.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
People are saying that it's a reduction in rewards, because it is. Return the random roll as a choice to all TFs and watch people magically stop saying that.

[/ QUOTE ]It's only a reduction in rewards for Tarkoss, Katie, and Eden. All other non-Ouro TFs/SFs are worth at least the cost of a random roll...and in most cases, more. Thus, an increase in rewards.

If random rolls *were* for some reason returned, I can imagine it would be these three that they wouldn't be returned to.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not quite actually.
Ernesto Hess and the 3rd Villain Respec Trial are worth 15 a piece. (At the bottom of the screen, click Merit Rewards)

I can has Butt Capes?

Where'd you get the patch for I13?

Question. I have a DM/EA. And I fear that having 2 /EA brutes on the same server would overwhelm me with awesome.

I am, however, planning on making a WM/Shield sometime after I13. Would that be sufficiently Pretty to post about here or should I make/wait for another thread?
