Re: the Cast times
You've got to factor in Arcanatime too in order to see the true cast time of each power.
=((ROUNDUP(CAST/0.132,0))+1)*0.132
what's that mean? Divide the cast time by 0.132. Round that up to the next whole number and add 1. Then multiply by 0.132 and that's the real cast time you'll see ingame. -
You're getting less spam because most gold selling groups have dropped City of Heroes from their supported games.

I've been trying to min/max my kinetic melee/fiery aura scrapper and can't figure out if burn in its current state is actually good enough to be used in my single target attack rotation.

I keep hearing this, but don't know what they have changed? Can you provide any insight?

Which of the powers in Earth Assault cause Knockback and which cause Knockdown/up? I'm pretty tired of Knockback already.

Outdamaged by others? All the archetypes powers' scale up, why would other ATs scale up more than Blasters? I can see where mob health increases faster than the damage scales, but Blasters still do a lot more damage than other ATs.

DarknessEternal, I think you're just pulling my leg. Especially the part about Blasters being the worst AT in the game....
Blasters are categorically outclassed. What can they do? Damage and maybe some control. Surely they do the most damage then, since they only really have the one thing? This would be wrong, and Scrappers far and away exceed any Blasters' damage; Brutes too. And then we even have types of Corrupters and Defenders outdamaging Blasters at high levels since they are damage multipliers instead of damage adders.
So those 4 must be worse in defense since they do more damage, right? Also no. The same ones can stay indefinitely aggroed to AVs or GMs.
Go look in any of those AT forums. It's widely talked about.
With all this being the case, what role does a Blaster serve at high levels? None. -
Quote:Yes, that is really the case. Blasters have always been outdamaged by other ATs at higher levels, and they're defenses are basically non-existant.Originally Posted by Steel_Shaman
Is this really the case? Does the Blaster AT literally become mediocre damage and low survivability?
They're clearly the worst AT in the game. But they've always been that, so it's sort of like a golden cow; it's not really going to change unless without a significant paradigm shift. -

AFAIK the most expensive are still the 3% defense and the 3% res. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.
Lets do a little math:
Luck of the gambler selling 150m to 250m cost = 2 A-Merits.
with the 36 merits it takes to buy a PvP recipe you would have between 2.7 and 4.5 billion inf.
Your call. -
Quote:How do they keep things inside the Rain of Arrows?Originally Posted by Gilia
Like I said above, the best bets are archery/energy and archery/mental. Most people vote the second as the fastest, because of the extra cone attack and drain psyche. I would take archery/energy for soloing though because I believe it's safer (boost range keeps you out of their range).

Sapping without Power Sink? Why?

Quote:It also never happened, so it is kind of funny since they pretended it did.Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
It doesn't matter how long I wait--the people that quit the game over the forum changes are unlikely to come back. That's not funny, and it never will be.

As a Blaster, you spend most of your time held, so I'd say yes, it's worth it.

Quote:Then why didn't you perma-hasten it in a useful way? Such a thing is actually possible still.Originally Posted by MondoCool
but I wanted to see if I could perma-hasten it. It wasn't really meant to be a top choice for use - it was more of a thought experiment, honestly.

Quote:That's not actually possible. Unless you mean that you wait around several seconds after Gloom before doing any other attack.Originally Posted by Fiery-Enforcer
Claws for Brutes is indeed great. I love my attack chain of Follow-Up > Focus > Gloom.

3 Golgi's stacked furiously would only be the same as Lingering Radiation. No exploit here.

Dominators are Blasters that work.

Quote:It's gonna be more than 5. As soon as something dies, which will be well before Burn finishes, it'll start burning someone new in range, just with a lower duration.Originally Posted by bAss_ackwards
Five dead targets right out of the gate is something you don't really want to skip.

Quote:Consume now provides a 50% endurance drain resistance.Originally Posted by Carnifax_NA
My reservation with Claws/Fire would be the squishyness and the holes Fire has (knockback, End Drains & Psi). Claws isn't the best mitigating set going so it could be a struggle at times. The damage would be excellent though.

It averages 10 endurance every 50 seconds, so .2 end/sec.

Also tried that before I posted anything. It didn't work.
