Dissolution

Strange this still does not explain as to why on my partial radial revamp I am initially seeing the defense buff then watch it drop off. I can watch this every time I remove the slot and then reslot it.

Oops, I did it didn't I? I gave you a bit of nothing you asked about. Sorry as Thunder said yes blue side most often has more players, but even those numbers my be down because of the incarnate stuff.

Sorry, I didst answer the question asked

You know I was curious about this as well. I chose to enhance defense with my incarnate ability and after watching my defense numbers in game once I placed my alpha slot I did notice the increase (about 4%) in defense but then after a short time the numbers went back to where they were before the enhancment.

If they are using the pc as the preferred platform for gaming specifically, the number of games played can help determine drive size. A small ssd is plenty for many players.

I understand completely. I was looking at purchasing a 5770 for myself but was lucky enough to find a combo with a power supply and a 5830. My personal budget kept shrinking so this was awesome.

All after putting together a very very expensive system for someone. I placed a plaque next to my computer and it says "be happy with what you have", and even though I didn't get exactly what I wanted, I am happy...

Lol

I think one of the thing hurting low level play is that many players are trying to improve the 50's right now with the incarnate system.

That being said what time are you playing.

I don't think they are mad and you don't need to be sorry. It's hard to read the emotion in type.

Most are just frustrated that so many, many..... many things seem to be wrong with i13 changes. But also remember i12 had some issues also. It needed tweaking not rebuilt.

Or you could guarantee you will use aim and the proc at the same time by putting it in your toggle and watching your icons. Only hit aim when you see the proc fire.

I would leave it in the toggle even if it does not fire off the exact same time as aim it may fire of during the period of the buff whether its a bit before or after, again unless you are firing off aim evey ten seconds.

Lol yea a 300 dollar case or a 300 dollar name tag.

Just goes to show its not only the graphics card that figures into the equation, also if a particular comparison is using reference designs for both items being compared.

Bottom line start low till frame rate becomes unacceptable.

Actually I was giving a compressed generic performance evaluation of frame rates across several titles at 1920*1200

We know you are disappointed in the new pvp, but most members are tired of supporting this lost cause. It was not written much better than the post "an open letter to the devs" a sticky post.
/sign that and explain your grief a little more than "I'm tired of this." But then again you could finish with that statement. ;p since it rings true for most of us.

Good, I personally know 1 person that has a Cyberpower pc and it has been working great for a few years. I know another whose pc was not assembled anyway near proper and even sent pictures of the error... they still have no idea what they did or what the problem was even after looking right at it.

So any way start small with the 5670 and let us know how well it drives coh. You may also have him download msi afterburner and put a mild oc on it.

2k can get you a fantastic machine. You are going to love ultra mode all maxed out.

Just a little heads up, Cyberpower is quite the mixed bag make sure everything is connected properly and securely and wires are not within you fan(s).

Well the 5770 is on average about 50% faster than the 5670. That varies from game to game but that's a ball park figure. I suggest starting small and little by little increasing detail until you get a satisfactory result.

As another member posted it will help if we know what other things you will be playing or will coh be the most demanding program. You should be able to max ultra mode for about 700-800 dollars for the computer itself.

The above system is pretty good you will need to find a motherboard also though.

If the reason you are not playing stone/ is because off the lack of speed and jumping, the power rooted is going to cause you the same grief. That being said your tank can be sufficiently tough without granite armor. Granite is the best armor in the game though, but that is even multiplied by its supplemental power.... rooted.

My initial thought was incomplete as I did not completely place the taunting tank and the duration at its correct place. It appears that -recharge is irrelevant because the duration will sustain at the rebound point.

Let's hope they (des) figure this out soon.

Strato, you are right if the duration of the taunt will hold the entire time it takes LR to climb back up to get taunted again.

This tactic works apparently with the ranged toggle because it remains on which keeps threat on. The blaster in the blaster forums... it worked because in part boost range allowed the blaster to continue to hit LR while at the top of his climb and on the ground after the rebound.

So... if the threat remains yes you are right. If it does not no it will not work without minus range because the only way to get LR to not attack will be to reduce his range at a lower altitude.

Correct, but how does the OP do this? Without a ranged toggle at that position is LR going to remain attracted to a tank? Is the threat duration going last if LR takes a different route to the top (I have noticed "slips" making LR "recalculating route".

So is the trick even valid to the OP unless he switches sides gets a toggle and returns to blue?

It is understood you don't need -range but you do need to apply threat greater than that of the heroes around LR destroying his towers. So this trick can be manipulated with a constant threat by a tank with no toggle by the use of taunt and -range. You are correct it's not needed for any toon with a ranged toggle and maybe if everything times out correct just a ranged attack as LR gets pulled back... but just as -range is not needed neither is the other. New Dawns point of auto hit in taunt makes it more reliable than relying on a ranged attack for threat also.

Again you are right it is an AI issue. But the issue is for an Invul/ tank, without a ranged toggle, and taunt is much more reliable than attacks outside of autohit toggles.

What are you farming? What I may try in the being is making a build not to run in Granite armor, pick the armors you need for that farm, soft cap with help from tough and weave, and get out of the -damage -recharge to farm with. you shouldn't be much worse off than a shield or ice.

I agree with Call Me Awesome on the choice and as you said it is an easy starting place to play with your excess soft cap.

Ribic, I think what New Dawn is getting at is that the OP has a tank that can avoid physical attacks with hover which leaves the endurance draining ranged attack. The minus range in taunt can help beat this with the adjustment of some slots.

The point about minus range from a stormy was that storm could help keep the tank from being hit also, you did not just need a healer. At least that is the way I understood it.

It seemed your points were mostly why and how other AT's could tank LR... and that was with a ranged toggle. So I guess your suggestion for the OP is to go to the red side and pick up a ranged toggle from the Patron pool?

It's cool other AT's can tank via a terrible program error, but the point about the threat multiplier was it's good it worked but if LR runs through a aura that causes more threat, a cone or an aoe that causes more threat, or just an accidental auto or tab and target especially from a tank with high threat multiplier he will stop running up walls. Tanking with a tank is not the only option plenty of timed this tf has been beaten without a tank, but this being a tank question for a primary that has no endurance drain protection and has fly removing excess damage resistance slotting and adding them to an auto hit -range is a good idea that may help the OP.
