Fix'd.

Your initial statement on this matter is still invalid and still completely false.

Tell me, what is a corruptor's primary powerset? And what is its inherent?

Soldiers of Arachnos can get a temporary +HP power, if they don't mind a backpack. All blasters can also get a similar power. Widows of course cannot. Kheldians likewise can have extra hitpoints, temporarily, but that also very much limits their offensive abilities. Not all Kheldains choose to use dwarf at all.

You make no attempt to rebut against the Dominator, which has less HP than a blaster. At this point, your initial statement on the matter is proved completely invalid. Blasters do not have the worst HP of the primarily damage dealing ATs.

For someone so picky about misquotes, I find it odd you don't seem to care about misinformation.

Except, he's still right. Blasters have tied hitpoints to stalkers, and more than the other primary damage dealing ATs. Corruptors are primarily about damage, as are VEATS, HEATS, and Dominators. Out of all the primarily damage dealing ATs, only Brutes and Scrappers have better HP.

Or for a larger sample, look at the people who voted for Ross Perot.

Hmmm, hadn't thought that.

Fair enough, your idea gets my stamp of approval (for what pittance that's worth).

Where on God's green Earth do you live? Because everything I've seen out here proves quite the contrary.

I agree that Omega better be more than an alpha, but I personally would like to see it as another persistent effect similar to alpha/interface. I'm running out of tray space on a lot of characters for more clicky thingies.

Yeah, well, the "Placate is Bugged" thread has been stickied since 2006.

Panacea proc only checks per activation. Theft of Essence checks per target.

You get a 20% of 10% endurance returned to you per target hit. For simplicity sake, let's assume you've only got 100 max endurance. Dark Regeneration costs 33 endurance, average slotting I would assume is around 20 endurance per use (very conservative, most people would slot more or Cardiac).

Against one target, you get an average return of 2 endurance (20% * 10 end). So sometimes it costs you 20 endurance, sometimes it only costs you 10. On average, you're spending 18 endurance if you only use Dark Regen against one target. That doesn't sound phenomenal by a long stretch.

With ten targets in range, the average return is ten times that, or 20 endurance, since each event is independent. If you slot better than what I assumed as average endurance reduction and have the theft of Essence proc, on average, Dark Regen will return more endurance to you than it costs if used in a full mob. There are times it will fill your endurance bar. There are also times where it won't fire at all.

This.

If you seriously cannot rationalize a "Human Potential Incarnate" (whatever that garbage means) throwing out a Judgement power, how can you rationalize said hero routinely survive being burned, shot, sliced, dosed with radiation, exploded, beam rifled, and every other thing that would kill even the best humanity has to offer?

If you made it to level 50, your character isn't a mere human. Get over it, or turn XP gain off at level 1 when you can still survive bullets. It's pretendy fun time games.

This is either a very clever pun, or a lucky typo. Either way, I enjoyed it.

I routinely run teams of three blasters. They're actually quite fun. One of them is even an Assault Rifle.

Three stalkers I have done once, it was, again, immensely entertaining.

I haven't done three PBs. Considering I've done all Kheldian ITFs, though, I don't see them having a problem, especially since they'd be able to stack their controls.

EDIT: The most recent All-Kheld ITF was actually a 4/4 split. You know how there's two paths to Romulus? The four warshades raced the four PBs down separate paths. The warshades won (of course), but the fact that the four PBs were capable of handling the x8 spawns of Romans is more than enough to trump your argument.

I was going to type up responses. But then Aett read my mind and posted for me.

Fix'd.

Oh, so now your argument is only that Tankers should have a higher damage cap? Fine, I will agree to that.

I just checked this last night, and Spad's a little off.

Every Destiny will recharge in 120 seconds. Out of the tier 3 Clarions, only one of them lasts 120 seconds. Two are 90 second duration, the last is 60.

How about addressing the rest of my point about blasters and balancing things at their caps first?

Tell me, how many times do you have to ride the coaster before you win the stuffed animal for knocking down milk jars?

See, I can make bad twisted metaphors too.

Doing the content doesn't unlock any more content. It gives you rewards. If you want those rewards, you have to do that content. It's that simple, and there's nothing wrong with that.

You have alternatives. Unlike side switching.

If there's one thing I will get behind you on, it's that there's too much defense available in the IO sets and not enough damage boosts.

But this other stuff you're spouting? You can't balance the game around top end performance and what happens at the caps. If you do, then like I jokingly referred to earlier, Blasters are the true be-all end-all. After all, they're just as survivable as these "brokenly tough" scrappers when they're at their caps, and they deal loads more damage because their base damage and damage cap is even higher, and they get more AoE attacks.

The game is balanced around SOs. Take it or leave it. But please, shut up about it.

My first post on this matter is the third or fourth reply to the topic. The mechanic is what was clarified for the bet.
