Quote:I don't doubt him at all. Let's assume he only gets 40% resist. It's not hard to do with epic shields and tough. It may be less overall mitigation, but it takes away the streaky nature of just defense.Originally Posted by rsclark
I don't know how that can possibly be in terms of the numbers. The difference in damage between 45 and 35 (just to keep the math easier) is 3X. You'd need 66% resist to equal that, and I doubt you get that cheaply.
I think you're eating a ton of purples and ignoring that when comparing survivability. -
Quick update: My TW/DA is level 18, and aside from the praetotian TOs, he has no enhancements. The Hydra tohit bonus is enough for now. I am already running at x4. Sure I need to keep a few spare blues around, but I'll take care of that later.
I kind of like the endurance bottoming out, though. The character has lung cancer, so it makes sense. So far, everything dies before my blue bar does, so it's not really a problem. Actually, it makes for a fun minigame. I might just keep the build as non-sustainable and instead just build only for damage and recharge bonuses. -
Quote:I don't know about you, but I capped my DA tank's psi resist by accident.Originally Posted by BrandX
I don't know. Can DA cap PSI? Sure. Still takes considerable amount of work to do so, which likely hurts the build in other ways if you're going for capped Psi Resist.

Quote:Then he still has to prove the change is necessary. What's your point again?Originally Posted by Tenzhi
Essentially, but not necessarily, which is why it doesn't.

Quote:Yes it does. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" certainly applies in a world where development resources are limited. You must prove that the system is broken or that the improvement is a necessity (these are essentially the same thing).Originally Posted by Tenzhi
It doesn't have to be broken to warrant improvement.

Quote:The problem is that very few enemies ever get to 1% health. It's all too often that minions are one shotted, and LTs will be sent from about 25% health to dead.Originally Posted by Ultimus
I disagree that this isn't possible lets use Super Reflexes or Scourge as an example:
Super Reflex passives do: .3% resistance per percentage of hp below 60
Scourge does increased critical chance when target below X and 100% at 15%. (I forget what X is and how the value scales, point is it scales)
What if you set the parameter to mag 100 knockback when target goes below 1% health? -
The brute in my latest video was built to 32.5% S/L/E/N.

Quote:Good for you. That doesn't make it crippling.Originally Posted by JayboH
Dark Armor sucks more endurance than any other secondary when only SOs are being discussed.
Again, your attacks will consume far more endurance than your armors can.
Adapt. -
Quote:All kinds of threads about the set not having enough endurance do not counter the all kinds of posters who say it does have enough endurance.Originally Posted by EvilRyu
What benefit do I get out of lying about this? Seriously there have been all kinds of threads over the years about the end issues.
The same way people can have their facts wrong or do wrong math. Nothing prevents people from being stupid and spouting incorrect information.Quote:Originally Posted by EvilRyu
How can all of those players be wrong about it having end problems?
The fact that even one player can do it well would be enough to prove the issue is not with the set. -
You are either lying or no where near as competent as you believe yourself to be. Many other people have made it work. I have a brute DA running tough/weave hasten and spiritual. We have no problems. The only possible factor is you.
-
Again, I have required no such inhaler while leveling three ATs of DA characters on SOs. I'm working on aTW/DA scrapper in addition to those. I'm not sure why you have problems, but I am sure that if you post a build, w can help.

Quote:My video has nothing to do with his failure to play the set.Originally Posted by JayboH
He's probably looking at it as a whole compared to other sets when only using SOs, like he should be, instead of what you typically do for videos.
The set is fully capable on SOs. My video characters were not made with IOs from the start. -
Quote:Please stop attributing your failures to the set.Originally Posted by EvilRyu
Even fully IOd out with set bonuses for +end and recovery it still has end problems. Maybe you and I have 2 different views on what is alot of endurance and whats not. There is no way you can tell me that this set is more end friendly than say SR or Shields. Its got issues people need to stop down playing this.

Look at what you have posted. Nova binds have no space. Dwarf ones do.
Either way, I'm certainly glad that my guide helped. -
You cannot have a space between powexec and toggleoff

This is good news all around for me. Over three billion in bets are on teams that are no longer in the running. The only guy left I can lose money on is Alpha. While he does stand a good chance to win, the payout will only be 500 million. Finally, I can now safely spend the billions I hoarded for the past few months just in case Friend of the Studio won. I think my SG base is due for another round of upgrades.
Thanks to everyone who played! Good luck to anyone left!
I'll definitely do this again next year if the team does it like this again. -
Quote:Likewise on my Dark/MA, but he has since switched to Resilient.Originally Posted by Rangle M. Down
Only reason I went with Cardiac on my Dark/Dark tank was for the +resistance.
My claws/dark brute was always spiritual. -
Just rolled my TW/DA last night.
I plan on being end sustainable without incarnate goodies. Erads will help.
I plan to forgo building defense this time around and go for recharge and damage where I can. -
Quote:Incedentally, I have two DA incarnates. Neither use cardiac or ageless.Originally Posted by BigBlackAfrica
Incidentally. If you take Cardiac for your alpha slot (which s almost mandatory on a DA toon) you tcan get S/L Resist to over 75% on a Tank and over 57% on a Brute/Scrapper/Stalker with Tough and a fully IO'd build.

Is DA any good?

Quote:Correct.Originally Posted by MriBruce
Oh, I remember the other part of my question. Apart from the procs...some healing sets give a bonus to all healing powers. I'm guessing that just means the character, and not the pets. Correct?

OK, this was fun as hell.
Thanks for letting me tag along, fellas! -

That's my job! How dare you suggest they steal that opportunity from me.
