Glad you got to read through the whole thing. I know it's long, but the fact that you read it means it must have been entertaining enough.

The real test, though, is did it help at all?

I would change it to this:

/bind <KEY> "cce 1 CCEnergyMorph $$ powexec_toggleon Beast Run"
/bind SHIFT+<KEY> "cce 0 CCEnergyMorph $$ powexec_toggleoff Beast Run"

This way you always toggle on with the first command and always toggle off with the second. No chance to enter beast run when you don't mean to.

This is how I know you're looking at brutes the wrong way. They are not walls meant to protect the team. With the recent changes, a Brute doesn't even need aggro to keep fury; I have seen a brute maintain a "full" fury bar by attacking Rikti dummies (the ones that don't attack back). Brutes are NO DEFINE JUST SMASH STUFF!!!

I'll give you that they're not "shiny" enough. I mean, they're pretty simple. Run into spawn, press 1 2 3 4 1 3 1 4 etc. "Squishy" ATs have to use at least a semblance of tactics. I really enjoy my warshade because of the razor's edge feel I get playing him. Do things right: I'm awesome. Do things not quite right: I'm dead.

But sometimes you just want to punch somebody in the face. There's joy to be found there.

Mire I'll buy, but Eclipse? A well slotted eclipse takes five targets to reach 85% resist from nothing, and it has a target cap of 16. Maybe I'm underestimating diminishing returns, but I'd think that 16 targets would still be enough to bring the WS up to 85% resist. Also, diminishing returns doesn't affect duration, which will be 90 seconds. I don't know how long PvP duels usually go, but I'd assume it's less than 90 seconds.

Defense may not amount to a hill of beans in PvP, but resist always works.

The PB has a lot of clear advantages, that much is certain. Regardless, I don't think it's impossible for a WS to win.

Yeah, in that case, WS has no chance.

Almost across the board, the resists are higher than Fire or Dark Armor. Dark Armor gets some defense and control to level the playing field, Fire Armor gets Fiery Embrace to kill stuff quicker.

With Tough, Fire/Dark sit at around 70% S/L resist, Elec at 80%. That ten percent might not sound like much, but you should realize that the Fire/Dark players are taking 33% more damage than elec from S/L.

The other resistance values vary a lot more (Dark has high psi and neg energy resist but is weak to energy, Fire caps fire resist but is weak to cold, Elec caps energy resist but is weak to neg energy), but as a general rule, Fire/Dark sit at about the same while Elec is a bit more. Elec has moderately high psi resist, but no toxic outside of the godmode.

I'm pretty sure that Elec actually has better resist to fire and cold damage than Invulnerability, and I know it has higher energy resist. Then again, Invuln has defense on top of resist, so all in all I think it's more survivable (at least before IOs start getting added in).

Slot RttC with some taunt, as that will make the pulses overlap taunt magnitude.

After that, find as many typed defense bonuses as you can find, focusing on S/L first, then E/N. F/C isn't as necessary, but couldn't hurt.

The next thing to grab is as much +HP as you can fit elsewhere.

Whoops. Re-reading that I realize that it came off a bit more snarky than I intended.


All I was trying to say is: Yeah, we know. And it's not changing anytime soon, apparently.

Crap, forgot that was a variable.

Then we just lose.

Unless someone is dishonest and revives the thread without mentioning that it fell.

Good question... It'd be really challenging to stay on the New Posts first page. Let's see how long that lasts, but I fully expected just Forum Games First Page.

The reason I figured that should be a rule is to prevent just one person (me) from being able to save the thread repeatedly. Makes sure that it's a team effort.

/signed so hard I just broke my keyboaknalkshgao.
