    You think by asking for just a little bit more this specific request is valid and justified.

    Wrong.
    Ok so I was reading through your replies, and i had to stop at this post...

    So i'm going to take a minute to answer a few points made by milehigh77.

    Pointless thread/suggestion

    If this is how you feel about it then you are more than welcome not to reply, you do realise that everyone here would have gotten by quite happily without your input.

    Here's how I will deal the deathblow:

    Seriously are you 12?

    why are you content with the scraps when you could have the whole meal?

    Maybe you didn't read the original post, where does it say I am content with "the scraps" as you put it. The poinr of the post was that I was not content with the current version.
    Try to keep up.

    If you're going to bother with this suggestion then we should ask that enhancements are not "permanent."

    Where do you get this from? Not bothering with a suggestion? I didn't make a suggestion my original post was a question ! p.s - Enhancements are not permanent they can be removed via respec, it's just time consuming.

    If one so desires, they can slot an enhancement and 60 seconds later remove the enhancement because they've changed their mind or made a mistake.

    No they can't. Oh wait was this a statement or a suggestion? you didn't say... by the way I don't make mistakes when I slot my toons if you read the original post you will see I refer to respecs. Which means toons that have been long since slotted and I want to use the IO's now for something new.

    You think by asking for just a little bit more this specific request is valid and justified.

    I think that my request was for information about the devs view on this topic. Hence why this is posted in Player Questions and not in Development. So yes it is valid and justified, not that I was asking your permission for anything anyway.

    Wrong.

    Yes, yes you are. Very...



    Now, about this deathblow?
  3. Looking for advice and comments on this build please.

    Built it for Zonal, I don't use jump on melee toons so please don't add that.

  4. At any point has anyone asked or heard from the devs if there will be a way to deslot a toon without having to respec for 10 io's a time.
  5. Maybe the "big names" were afk.

    That right there sucks huge melons. This needs to be fixed IMO.
    The repeating figure that you last posted is a bit annoying... but then so is typing in loadsa zeros.

    Other than that I love the new market, it's pretty

    Drain Psyche

    I want to know what is the best slotting for this power?

    At the moment I am thinking about using 5 Doctored wounds and an Acc/Rech from PShifter set, rest of my accuracy will come from the 5 purple sets in build....

    Can anyone give me an insight into the workings of this power please?
  9. I'm curious what server you are on.

    Might have helped to post that.
  10. Checked this morning, UK time 10am and no it wasn't up.

    AoE Dps Question

    managed to make a build with 39% Def and Perma DrainPsyche....

    But it hits harder than a troller at dmg cap..

    super! thats the news I was after .
  12. Beneifts of my 2 choices....

    Scrapper - will benefit more from fulcrum shift having a higher damage output and the chance to Crit on evert attack, Fire Melee is super fun and with Speedboost FireSwordCircle will be up very often and with Blaze Mastery from your epic power selection you will also have Fireball. Works themeatically and the dmg will be wow.

    Tanker - Obviously Willpower is more effective on a tank, because the regen and +hp powers are more noticable due to them working off %'s of base Health. Of which a tank has alot more... My suggestion for Tank attacks would be SuperStrength, with Rage and Footstomp you are gonna be throwing mobs about with little concern whether you need to watch your Blue and Yellow bars. As for Epic Stalagmites is another nice AoE with a stun included, with Stamina Quick Recovery and a Kin you are not going to need Phsyical Perfection that I would usually advise to tanks.


    Hope this helps.

    AoE Dps Question

    Hey all,

    Just a quick question about dmg... I am not as good with the masses of technical number crunching that some are on here, so I wonder if you could tell me please.

    I love damage.... I love hitting a mob and seeing the majority fall.

    Now at the moment I use a Purpled Fire/Kin which is constantly at the controller damage cap. But I have been recently fancying a Fire/Mental blaster and I was wondering which would do the most damage....

    Factors that are making me wonder...

    FireKin has Hotfeet, Imps, and damage cap

    However

    Blaster as a rule of thumb is a harder hitting AT and with Drainpsyche would be constantly attacking without the need for defensive moves such as transfusion and transference.

    Both toons would be fully purpled and tricked out so we are looking at about 190% recharge each.

    Anyone able to tell me which toon would put out the most damage the quickest please..


    ta muchly x
  14. Donna_

    Gleemail!

    I can Email myself influence and claim it from my email later. Means that I don't have to worry about hitting influence cap.

    I'm not sure how you would have gotten those numbers without "crazy priced purples". In my view, that leaves just AAs, Unbreaks, Sleeps and Confuse, (neither of which a Fire/Fire can use). Everything else is well into the hundreds of mil apiece, give or take depending on how patient you are.

    Which purples do you consider to be crazy priced purples? I see Apocs and Armageddons in some of these long exports, those are some of the most expensive purples out there

    If stuff like Apocs and Geddons are fair game, softcapped def with permadom-without-Hasten levels of recharge is very possible.

    It can be tricky to softcap and get high recharge with a Fire/Fire Dom on the cheap though, since that's usually achieved with LotGs and purples.

    My Fire/Fire Dom has 128% global rech and softcapped s/l. IIRC, he's got 5 purple sets (Unbreaks, Grav Anchs, Apocs, Hecas, AAs) and 3 LotGs. Not a lot of "AoEness" though, I built him more for control/ST DPS. Only AoE damage power he has is lolCombustion.

    I managed those figures without a single purple.
    I opted for a mish mash design, and dropped a little def for more end.

    Running at the moment with ...

    152.5% Recharge including Hasten and 46% Defense to S/L

    wasn't really on the cheap... so far I have spent 1.6 Billion but I wasn't going to be taking things like apocs which are 500+ per io.

    Yea god forbid that players use dev supplied tools to level faster.

    Personally I don't find it fun to play anything other than a level 50.... infact I haven't been in a team lower than level 50 in about a year, and I refuse to exemp on any of my toons.

    If I want to play another AT or another set of powers then I farm it...

    This is how I choose to play, why should the devs say that what I do with my 8.99 /month is wrong and I should be playing their stale slow content for weeks.

    Does that help in the pve game? no. So now the pvper has to learn another skillset to overcome the Pve game. Tendancies in one do not help in another.

    Does leveling to 50 really fast then hanging out in a lvl 30 pvp zone with your tricked out purple build help in a pve enviroment? Still a no, and yet look in sirens call at any moment on freedumb and youve got 50s trying to slam whoevers near by hoping they are not tricked out 50s so as to have a severe advantage over them (then the broadcast bit comes into play)

    Theres no ignorance here. Its ignorant to believe PvPers are automatically good at the pve game because they pvp. Sitting in Tv farms or Ae or wherever people go, to get a pl and to 50 as fast as possible to pvp does not make a pve'er. Doing Pve stuff doesnt help you PvP either. Two different games.

    Its also ignorant to believe people get a 50 then quit the game, which is what this 'omgawd im emo and people shouldnt level so fast theyll quit the game omgawd bbq!!!1111!!' BS comes from.
    Your post is a little late.... or perhaps in the wrong thread.

    We are talking about MA now.. not PvP.

    Given that they also developed a new set of Difficulty settings around the same time it seems logical to infer that they also wanted to move farming away from the MA, where it doesn't generate much in the way of "trivial" drops like common salvage, and back into the main game where spawns follow the traditional spread of Minion, Lieut & Boss.
    I highlighted the 2 bits that didn't really make sense.

    So they nerf custom mobs... fair enough.
    Choosing easy powers to defeat is an expliot.

    HOWEVER,,, allowing players to get 100% xp and inf from Bosses only of standard mobs should not have been changed!

    Then why did they stop boss farms?

    There was no Risk/Reward Ratio exploit....
    There was no Glitch that gave more Xp than usual...
    The Rewards were in propotion to the mobs that were killed...

    If i17 brings back farming to the extent it was before, theres my sub gone.

    stupid stupid stupid !

    Did anyone tell you that you are not forced to join or participate in farming.


    Oh and while we are on the topic of farming and subs...

    How many player have more than 1 account for farming??

    HEY DEVS!!! WAKEUP,
    If you manage to stop farmers it means that lots of players will only need 1 account.
  22. Used to bug the life outta me that your most wanted bounty was sitting in base for 5hrs getting a badge!

    Took it upon myself to do as much as humanly possible to get that target no matter where it was... And there were very few remote areas within the villain base that I couldn't get to.

    So this is bad news.

    If your gonna log into a pvp zone, expect to be hit.

    50.1 % Def S/L
    82.5 % Recharge
    152.5 % Recharge with Hasten

    So to be honest Talen i would doubt your ability to beat that anyway....
    If you have an issue with my sig perhaps you care to be more specific.
  25. So you think your hot at making builds... help me make something for my Domi.

    I have a build at the moment, but would like a few to compare it to..

    Fire / Fire Dominator... Patron doesn't matter but there are a few things that I would like to see...


    Soft capped defense
    Perma Domination
    Perma Hasten if poss
    No crazy priced purples pls
    lots of Aoe'ness.

    This toon will be for PvE, farming, TF's and overall badging...

    Do your best please.
