Quote:Sorry, did not mean it as an insult. I just noticed that you posted incorrect information and it was already corrected, which is one of the things I'd have done if I got to the thread sooner.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Oh, gee, thanks, yeah, because I'm known for purposefully trying to corrupt data when all I have to go off are my own personal experiences and perceptions, and the fact that I find my /Dark scrapper to be annoyingly squishy at times...
*sigh* One of those mornings...
This can be turned off, you know.Quote:Originally Posted by dugfromthearth
the other big problem with dark armor is that the cloak makes you into a big black fuzzball, hiding your costume. -

Wow, 20 posts into a thread about dark armor and Dechs hasn't posted. Is he on vacation?
I was... indisposed for a time.Quote:Originally Posted by Aggelakis
Dechs must be sleeping. Someone link to his guide! I cannot find it easily on this stupid phone.
I TOOK A GORRAM BREAK, OK!? My guides are still posted, my videos still run, and people still link them for me (thank you, by the way).Quote:Originally Posted by Airhammer
Im actually shocked that Dechs hasnt shown up yet. I mean come on its page 2 already and he isnt here yet singing the praises of Dark Armor?!!
WHAT MORE DO YOU PEOPLE WANT FROM ME?!
Seriously, though, it looks like there's not much for me to add anyway. Techbot's misinformation has been corrected, my stuff's been linked, and all the other usual suspects are here. You all are great, by the way. -
Quote:Yes they do. Set bonuses don't care what level the power is, just what level the IO is.Originally Posted by PrincessDarkstar
Also is it worth using level 31 IO's in any powers after Fissue because you won't get those powers at low level so do the set bonus' still count?

People needed to see this. Thanks UberGuy.

I have one that I keep trying to play, but I just never find the time for.
A 13 year old hyperactive boy that has his mutation manifest while watching his favorite saturday morning cartoon. The people with spikey hair that yell the names of their attacks were just getting ready to blow up a planet (again) when he tried to mimic their shouts and blew up half of his house. His parents were livid and sent him to Paragon immediately, where he runs around shooting the bad guys with energy as he shouts and says hi to all the awesome heroes he sees. Because when you're 13 and hyperactive and explosive: Everything is awesome.
His name: Nine Thousand One -
I don't think my build is going to change at all. It is, however, going to be even more fun.
Mire, Mire, Nova AoE, Other Nova AoE, ooh something died so I'll Unchain Essence, then two more Nova AoEs because they recharge fast enough, then Dwarf Mire again because that's recharged...
So. Pretty much nothing changes, except I don't have any delays in the above. -
Not sure if you've seen it, but I'm going to recommend reading through my MFing Warshade guide. There's a lot of advice on how to play, but it also covers making a build to level with.

Ninjas survive better when you use Provoke.

I'm here at least as long as my friends are.

I really can't wait to get a hold of this stuff.

Quote:I'll admit I only looked once and it was back around the issue launch. I'm sure I checked against even con, but I can't be sure what I was fighting.Originally Posted by Hopeling
Hm. Are you possibly at a difficulty setting that puts enemies at -1 or lower once you count your level shifts? I know I'm talking to Dechs Kaison, but that's the only thing I can think of. Or possibly Combat Attributes is displaying the wrong number for some reason. I haven't watched hit rolls.
I'm not sure if the normal factions that appear in DA have 64%, but the DA-specific enemy groups (Knives of Vengeance, DA Tsoo, etc) seem to.
All I know for sure is that I don't notice a significant difference between even con DA content and even con normal. I do run both at x8, just vary the level to keep my KD powers from doing KB.
So, put me down as "I'll take your word on this one, but a shield character should still be just fine." -
Quote:Are you sure? Last I checked my combat logs, enemies were getting no better than 8% chance to hit my softcapped characters. Do some factions have 64 and others 50 maybe?Originally Posted by Hopeling
No, enemies in Dark Astoria definitely have 64% base tohit, like enemies in trials. You can verify this with a Power Analyzer.
Nevertheless, my regular-softcapped characters seem to be doing fine in DA. -
Solo incarnate content abides by the normal 45% soft cap.
You should be fine.
Edit: I'm incorrect, but you should still be fine. -

It would have to be a true choice. If you pick the Fire Blast like power, that would then preclude you from taking Fireball later on (without a respec, where you could then take Fireball, but then unable to take the Fire Blast like power).What they said, and I'm behind this idea.Quote:Originally Posted by ClawsandEffect
This.
Much like how a Widow can take Build Up -or- Follow Up, but not both. -

Quote:No, I'm not suggesting it's untrue. There's no reason to. The burden of proof is currently on you, but assuming that you could produce the evidence to back up your baseless claim, there's one more thing to consider.Originally Posted by EvilGeko
No one has countered any factual statement I've made. I said Kheldians do less damage than SoA. Are you suggesting that is untrue?
That sounds a lot like balance to me. You've got your work cut out for you if you're going to try to prove that Kheldians even need adjustment.Quote:Originally Posted by EvilGeko
On SOs Bill. The SoA do more damage. That's not an opinion. That's a fact. They have a higher damage mod, and their powers have higher DPAs. What's difficult to understand here?
As for survivability, the Kheldians do better here, especially after the last round of changes.
Also, I'd like you to point out where I have said anything personally insulting. -
Quote:Saying you don't know what you're talking about, especially when you have given no evidence to the contrary, is hardly a personal insult.Originally Posted by EvilGeko
So it's OK to insult me, to say I don't know what I'm talking about, but I make a tongue in cheek response and I'm the bad guy? Come on man.

Quote:Out of curiosity, do you realize how much magnitude status protection VEATs get?Originally Posted by Zemblanity
Mag 4 barely counts as status protection, I'd much rather have real mez protection, like the VEATs.
It's 4. Unless you take two powers, then I suppose it's 6. Big fragging difference. -
My Bots/Traps has done it.

This issue cannot hit live soon enough.

Oh happy day!

AWESOME update, dude. I'm so excited for this! ^_^ Best of luck with the project.
Oh and, nice pretty bullets you've got there.

Quote:In my defense, I was never an advocate of sitting around. I called them inefficient uses of endurance because you're better off using pool attacks than your personal ones. I've got Veteran attacks if I want to throw damage out. Those at least don't suffer from our modifiers. Also, there are the patron/epic attacks, which aren't quite as terrible and usually carry helpful effects (AoE immobilize comes to mind).Originally Posted by Mokalus
And as for the "inefficient use of endurance" comment above, I tend to believe that the only inefficient use of endurance is to not use it at all. Something > nothing, regardless of what the something is. They're not going to make a blaster envious of your phat numbers but it beats standing around and waiting for something to happen.

... That is adorable.
