Is there a possibility that the geometry of the Mecha Armor shoulders could be adjusted? There's a pretty sizable gap between the front of the shoulder and the shoulder piece itself.

I would like to thank the Developers a moment for throwing four to five Archvillians against four players, a convoluted set up that requires no one to DC and attacks that can two-shot brutes. Thank you for not wanting me to ever do events ever again. -

Quote:Wait... So you currently have Snipe in your build, you don't want to go through the effort of changing your build to take advantage of the snipe change, yet you will go through the effort of changing your build to get rid of snipe entirely?Originally Posted by Gemini_2099
One thing for sure..I will be respecing out of the snipe once Issue 24 hits. Not worth the effort to change an entire build for a mythical 23% tohit.

Quote:True, but both AoEs in the set generate Knockback, which in practice has the effect of scattering mobs (neither AoE does KB 100% of the time, meaning some get KB'd and some don't), making each subsequent AoE attack less effective. I'm well aware of, and have made extensive use of, various knockback mitigation strategies (using environmental barriers and flying directly above mobs), and you can argue that it's a tradeoff for quick activations, but I feel like it's a handicap, and in practice I've never felt like my Energy Blaster was an AoE death machine so much as I felt like I was trying to keep a large number of marbles from rolling off the top of a table with a convex surface.Originally Posted by Garent
The fast animation time on the area attacks means that the set's area damage scales better with recharge than others though.
When the Summer Event rolls around I will very happily pay any price at the auction house for two Overwhelming Force procs to slot in Energy Torrent and Explosive Blast, just so I can use my AoEs like every other blast can use theirs. -
Reading the Energy Blast section was a bitter pill to swallow. I've played an Energy Blaster for roughly the past 8 years and I can't disagree with your conclusions, especially the conclusion that Energy Burst is awful. Even with all the IOs I've crammed into my build (which I did because it's my main and namesake moreso than anything else) it's still subpar due to animation times.

Will the click sustain powers be usable while mezzed, and will the effects of toggle sustain powers persist while mezzed?

Quote:I was thinking about something like this, only it would sorta break the cottage rule a bit. My idea was to change Time Bomb to Remote Explosive, and it would basically function similarly to what you suggest, except it would persist much longer than 15 seconds. Perhaps there would be a lockout window of a few seconds, to prevent the explosive from being detonated early. I don't like the idea of self-damaging powers on a blaster though.Originally Posted by St_Angelius
Oooooo, that seem interesting. Toggle on, Time bomb drops. Toggles runs for 15 second and Time bomb explodes and toggle ends. Drop toggle early, time bomb explodes. Maybe make it so the explosion hurts the caster to discourage toggling on and off straght away and at least having to retreat first.
The 22% mark can be reached with just Build Up. My Blaster has Build Up 5 slotted with Adjusted Targeting (without the Tohit Buff/End ) and gets 22.79%. I think this was intentional, to give primaries without Aim the means to insta-Snipe.Quote:Originally Posted by Roderick
I suspect that the number was picked so that unslotted Aim was enough to trigger the effect, but fully slotted Build Up was not. -

Any chances for the development of a water and/or earth based blaster set? I know you won't talk about upcoming changes, but it's just a thought.

Does your /elec have the clap? Mine doesn't have the clap. I decided to go to Ms Liberty and get the clap. Do you have the clap? I just got the clap. What do you do with yours? I'll show you mine if you show me yours. -

Without T9 Attack fixes to me all this represents is polish on a turd. Fix it all at once or don't, but don't half-*** it like this. Yes the changes are good but Brutes, Scrappers and Tanks never have to question taking their T9 attack and neither should we, but the sheep will be happy with the shiney they have been given and won't demand that they fix T9 attacks with this as well.

I am in a state of joyous anticipation and it is difficult for me to conceal this. I will soon cease to be in command of my person, yet I believe this might be desirable.

There needs to be some sort of version of Godwin's Law that pertains to comic discussions eventually becoming arguments about Wolverine.

Evil Zombies, which sounds like an Iron Maiden cover band from Delaware. but if I reverse my initials I get Iron Gods, a Swedish metal band specializing in songs of Viking conquest and elaborate stage performances (think GWAR, except Vikings).

In terms of movie props, "hero" does not necessarily refer to a prop used by the protagonist, but rather a prop that is high-quality, functional and has appeared on-screen in the movie/TV show, typically in a close-up shot. If they're referring to that vehicle as the "hero car", they mean that it can actually be driven and will appear in the movie, not that it's the hero's car (though it could be).

Well, compare it to:
- Fighting eight clones of yourself at once, rather than just the one required to prove the process works. (Army of Me)
- Letting Marauder rage as reinforcements pile in, and beating him (Lambda Looter/Antacid/Well Stocked)
- Letting Anti-Matter regenerate to full health, and beating him (Loves a Challenge, if you don't die in the process)
- Fighting armies while refusing backup (Knows No Fear and Lone Wolf, possible to "cheat" by getting a team to be your backup)
- Letting Diabolique make the Sentinel as strong as possible, and defeating it anyway (Sentinel Smasher)
- Letting Diabolique keep draining powers from the two heroes she still had the entire time you're defeating her (Sacrificial Lamb)

Power Pool customization. I can wait on the other stuff.

I'm also seeing this bug. I switched out the bolero for the high collar cape, but it just isn't the same...

I'm leveling a Staff/DA Scrapper (currently level 18), and even with four toggles running (Dark Embrace, Murky Cloud, Obsidian Shield and Death Shroud) it does very well in terms of endurance. A lot of this is owed to Form of the Soul, which grants around 25% endurance discount at three levels of perfection. With SOs, this build should have very little downtime.

I was on two back-to-back Magis today that were successful. We didn't attempt any of the badges and had no more than 16 players in the league at any given time. We used Lore pets at the 3 AV battle and had volunteers to hit the wells during the final battle. It didn't seem that difficult, but this is probably due to the fact that almost everyone in the league had prior experience.
