Deathless

I'll be going back to console games but will always be on a look out for NCSoft products... so not to buy any of it.

I'm about to close on a house on Tuesday and was so excited and then I heard the news... It's like getting hit by a truck after winning the lottery...

I think I'll load up on boosters. They'll help with getting the to-hit % needed for insta-snipe in i24.

Sounds like I can use snipe in my already awesome attack chain... Not a game changer but still an improvement to blasters IMHO.

Hopefully this change will make the blaster AT the undisputable king of damage dealers which was intended from the beginning.

So what does the SoA veterans think of the ATO proc (Dominion of Arachnos) after several weeks of playing with it live? Is it worth slotting?

Dark Armor looks like an ideal pairing with Titan Weapons especially for someone who likes to min/max their toons. My only concern about DA are the toggles… How viable is the pairing with TW if the fight goes beyond several minutes? I’m sure taking energy mastery will help but will it be enough?

Get an enclosure for your old drive with a usb/firewire connection. They're pretty cheap nowadays.

A couple questions from a returning player regarding catalysts and ATOs:

1) Can you catalyzed ATOs once they have been slotted to a power?

2) If you slot a full ATO set and catalyzed 3 of the 6 pieces, will you get both the (first) 3-part superior bonuses and the (first) 3-part regular bonuses?

I'm debating whether I should save my catalysts for future expansion to non-ATO origin sets or just burn them all on the current ATOs. Thoughts?

Wow... John Romita's cover really stands out and by that I mean it's terrible. I'm just curious how the guy keeps getting work in this business.

Is it worth it to slot a Performance Shift +chance into Chrono Shift if I have it perma (up every 90 sec)?

I think iTrial AVs are susceptible to debuffs but I'm not certain about movement debuffs.

Been busy at work and never got a chance to test Titan Weapons... Got a quick question... Are the sound effects for all Titan Weapons (ie. hammer, sword, axe) the same for all moves/powers?

I have the T4 Radial in my ill/rad and I often wonder if I should've gotten core instead. Like traps, radiation seems to benefit more from radial than the core but there's not a lot buffs out there that can enhance my phantom army (other than the T4 Radial Reactive which I already have - it's awesome btw). In the end, I think it depends on your slotting of those powers that benefit from musculature. If your seekers have no tohit buff enhancements and your stamina is under slotted, would you give that up for 8% extra damage even though your pets are already ED-capped?

Can't decide between Thugs/FF or Thugs/Traps... Offensively, Traps is better than FF due to its debuffing utilities but what about defensively? FF would get Thugs to higher defense numbers but the debuffing/controls in Traps seem to make everything more survivable. So are there any advantages to playing FF over Traps?

My buddy and I had a bet about the last part of the trailer where you see "Caesar" (the chimpanzee) was plotting something. He says that's an actor in a suit with heavy makeup but I think it's CGI. What do you think?

With the "convenience" buff in SB, how big does that impact a plant/kin? I've never played a plant controller so I'm curious if the creepers would be able to keep up with the farmer once they are SB'ed.

I know this is all speculation and there's no official announcement... but boy, reading this thread is such a buzzkill.

I've been running several of my toons in the trials and noticed that ATs with lots of AoE seem to have the best chance of getting rares and very rares. Is this the case for everyone else? My fire controller and crab has been getting more VRs and rares than they will need but my brutes and scrappers have not even earned one VR since i20 live...
