Logitech guys just arrived. We go live on twitch in about 10 minutes.
They're wondering - what mouse/keyboard setup do you guys have at home?
Logitech. Neat.

No sure there (OW my EYES) -

I'll leave efficiency to others and just note that my all-time favorite is the Ragnarok: Chance for Knockdown.
dunno how 'good' it is, but it's hands down the most fun. =D

So I am thinking of rolling up an AR/Dev Blaster with the changes coming to blasters. I understand Caltrops is a great place for procs. What options are there that work well?

Significantly more work. This has become an all day endeavour for both Hit Streak and I.

Quote:It's never been clear how the -hp works. Supposedly it was a -percentage and/or -150; whichever was lower. I'm not certain if this is true, or if AV's are effected by it at allOriginally Posted by Amperella
Does this Interface power work on EB, AV, GM and Hamidon/mito critters? I recall that there was a bug in beta where it did not, but I cannot find if it had been fixed.
Thanks for your answer. -
Ice powers primarily slow your enemy; including recharge. Right out of the gate Ice slows down how quickly you can build fury. Yes, when you attack, you build fury, but also when enemies attack you.
It was a common grievance in CoV beta, and it was pulled. No remedy was every developed, and it remains out of the hands of Brutes. -
Quote:It once could be enhanced, but only on certain AT's. It has since been 'fixed' to be un-enhanceable.Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
the DDR cannot be enhanced in it, i dont think it ever could
the DDR in active defense used to be enhanceable with HOs but that is no longer possible
granted i would still not give up DDR on a defense based toon
But, I always take it; for the DDR and the RDR. -
Quote:I suppose it's possible the proc is suppressing its own KD; as it suppresses existing KB in any power.Originally Posted by Goliath Bird Eater
I'm familiar with how KD & KB work, and I've been using the power against enemies that I should be able to knock down. Nevertheless, I'm changing my testing grounds just to be sure. Really, all I need is one knockdown, and I've yet to see it.

Quote:Knockdown is just Knockback of magnitude under 1.0Originally Posted by Goliath Bird Eater
Speaking of the proc: Can anyone confirm that it's working?
I got it while running the event on a lowbie, and mailed it to my 50 Crab Spider. Put the proc in Frenzy, which is a PBAoE. I've been running around DA diving into big spawns and using the power until they're cleared. So far, I haven't seen any NPc get knocked down.
If the enemies have any KB protection, it won't knock them down. -

I'll give you a hint: it's something no Summer Blockbuster would be complete without!

Quote:Can you check into upping its duration to 60 sec(of course slowing its recharge to 120 sec)? The power's animation and sound FX get grating having to use it so often.Originally Posted by Arbiter Hawk
EM was the easiest choice to make - it had Conserve Power, which we've twiced changed in to Energize, so we felt it made a lot of sense to do the same again. Boost Range is not problematic, although it is a bit unintuitive in how well it synergizes with cones. It's the kind of power that I really enjoy as a player but would probably not design in a new set because I feel a number of players would just not grok how to use it best.
-
In regards to Body Armor; adding other damage type would be great. I still think the Smashing/Lethal should remain highest, and thematically Psi should be omitted.

Quote:Any thought to extending the Aura radius on other AT versions of Chilling Embrace? (My Dark/Ice Dom has it, but it's utility isn't nearly so useful with a 10 foot aura.)Originally Posted by Arbiter Hawk
I'm not adding damage to it, but I did increase its range up to 30 feet so it's now a more effective deterrent to enemies closing to melee range with you.

Quote:Death Shroud from Dark Armor takes Accuracy ToHit Debuff sets despite only the fear portion requiring a To-Hit roll. Shouldn't these have the same utility of Accuracy Heal sets?Originally Posted by Arbiter Hawk
It will definitely take Heal sets. I believe the only sustain power which takes Accurate Heal IO sets is Touch of the Beyond, because all of the other powers work even if they don't land their hit roll (though it does have a high base accuracy of 1.2, and a recharge of only 10 seconds, so it's very easy to keep your buff up with it.)

Quote:Ah. I couldn't watch the Twitch broadcast because of work; recording still isn't up.Originally Posted by DMystic
During the stream Arbiter Hawk specifically mentioned those powers by name and specifically pointed out that this was being applied to the 40/50ft Single target attacks.

Quote:Where are you getting this information? Only the tier 3 cone attacks are getting a range boost.Originally Posted by St_Angelius
It may be Tier 5 over all, but it is Tier 3 single target. for comparison to the other blasts that are getting bosted...
Executioner's Shot = Tier 7
Lancer Shot = Tier 6
Power Burst = Tier 4
Blaze = Tier 7
Bitter Ice Blast = Tier 7
Cosmic Burst = Tier 7
But basicly, it is all the 40ft and 50ft single target blasts that are getting normalized to 80ft. -
Quote:Actually, Howl is the Tier 3 attack that will be boosted to 80 ft. Shout is Tier 5 and will stay unchanged.Originally Posted by Mr_Kingkillaha
"Shout" is the T3 single target attack that will get its range boosted. Other than that you are right on.
The devs will be making other changes to the sniper-less sets as necessary, but those changes haven't been defined in detail AFAIK. -
Quote:Dom snipes are something I find nonviable, 'skip-able' powers. This change sounds perfect--warts and all.Originally Posted by Arbiter Hawk
I would consider making snipes also instant while under the effects of Domination, but if I did so I would also lower the scale of all of the Dominator snipes back to the 2.76 standard.

Quote:Perhaps you could make it a toggle that detonates the bomb when it is shut off; also it would detoggle automatically after 10 seconds. Possible?Originally Posted by Arbiter Hawk
If we were going to do this to Time Bomb, we would have a way of doing it without granting you any extra powers or making you click any buttons that weren't Time Bomb.

I'm probably late to the party with this:
The Sirens of the Talons of Vengeance have a music/notes FX for their sonic powers. I would LOVE to have that available for my Sonic/Sonic Defender "The Musician"; Those FX would make a lovely alternate animation for Sonic Blasts, and possibly Sonic Resonance. -

Quote:ATO's can only be turned into other ATO's. A catalyzed ATO can be converted into another catalyzed ATO's, but not a Very Rare IO (it is considered to be a separate category entirely).Originally Posted by CyberGlitch
I've seen a few posts that seem to indicate that you can use an Enhancement Converter to convert a Catalyzed (Purple) ATO to a different purple. I just tried this and can't seem to figure it out.
If I'm on a Brute, the only ATO's I can catalyze are those I can slot (have to have an ATO slotted to catalyze it). So that means I can only use an Enhancement Catalyst on a Brute ATO. Fine, I do that. Then I use the Enhancement Unslotter to take it back out. Now its in my tray.
If I then use an Enhancement Converter on it, it will only let me convert it to ANOTHER purple (catalyzed) ATO, either within the same set (Brute ATO's) or out of set (say...a Tanker purple ATO). The latter is worthless to me since I can't do anything with a Tanker ATO other than send it to myself via email (I don't play tankers).
So I can't figure out how people are apparently converting a Purple Brute ATO into, say, a Hecatomb. Am I missing something or did I just misinterpret what has been posted by others?
Those cannot be; they aren't ATO's, only ATO's can be catalyzed.Quote:Originally Posted by Alpha_XBS
There's already a second set of ATOs in the works. They were placed on beta by mistake and someone posted screenshots on another thread.
Don't know when, but they are coming.
The Summer Movie Event will also have a special Damage Attuned Set that will drop as a reward, so it's not necessarily tied to archetype.
However, I don't know if this set will be able to be catalyzed or converted. -

All Hybrid powers are toggles that shut off after two minutes by design. Personally, i think it's a terrible design choice, but it is what it is.
