    As for the Soulbound Allegiance proc, my understanding is that it is set to check with each attack. At one point, it didn't affect Imps because they spawn at level 49 rather than level 50. I'm unsure if this is still the case though.
    Oh thats good then so if there were a team of 3 Fire trollers all pets would get 30% def from their aura alone

    Wonder if there is a way to check into the Soubound proc details... if there is a buildup effect... is there an animation?

    Aren't all pets summonned at 1 level less than their summoner ?

    Anyway, let's add it up. This is with the ally shields and using generic level 50 defense IO's.

    16.8% from Deflection/Insulation Shield
    3.93% from Maneuvers
    11.2% from Dispersion Bubble
    10% from Edict of the Master and Call to Arms

    41.93% total defense as long as they are within the boundaries of Dispersion Bubble.

    There are two things I would suggest to go along with this. The first is to avoid Tactics; generally, it's a great power to have, but it also tends to cause the imps to flake out because it increase their perception. When I ran it on my fire/ff, I found the imps tended to over-aggro pretty often. The second is to take Smoke. Its -5% tohit debuff will essentially softcap the imps with that much defense. It also helps to keep the imps from aggro'ing entire mobs when they smack one guy and run back to you.
    Ah! that's a good idea... few more questions tho just to clear things up.

    It says "Aura" on Call to Arms IO, does this effect other players pets? Is there a Radius?

    On the soulbound Proc, how often does it test to buildup? Every attack or at set intervals?

    Ok what is the best slotting for Fire Imps... I am considering.


    Accuracy / Damage HO
    Accuracy / Damage HO
    Accuracy / Damage HO
    Soulbound Allegiance: Chance for Build Up
    Edict of the Master : Defense Bonus
    Call to Arms : Defense Bonus


    Anyone any what defense this will give my imps?
    I am using a Fire/Forcefield so would Dispersion bubble and maneuvers effect them also ?
  4. Trick Arrow / Rad Defender... Glue Arrow and Tp Foe into Fountain features in RV stops ppl running... was quite amusing... May attempt a AoE version using Wormhole on a Grav/Ta
  5. Is it that good that no one has anything to say ?
  6. Looking for some fresh eyes on my build... can anyone offer any advice on power choices and slotting... was going for loadsa recharge and fun Aoe'ness

    Oh the free transfers are annoying too, as you can see from another thread I posted... Suddenly there is more French in Union broadcast than there is English !

    Some of them are nice, the majority are typical French.

    However I still don't agree with the Free activation weekend... double xp is always nice but it's the email that obvioulsy gets sent to all old accounts since cancelled saying please come back and try our new content for free... It's a ploy to get paying customers back but what really happens is a flood of l337 speaking, CoX hating, idiots return because it's free.

    I usually spend Double xp weekends out because of that reason.

  9. Basically what the title said, what toon.. Red or Blue would benefit the most from being IO'd with PVP and Purple IO's.

    I'm almost finished my MA/Regen and I would like a long term project...

    Le' Union ?!?!

    So recently there has been a huge influx of French players taking advatage of the free transfers and invading Union... and out of interest I had a wee check on their pvp forums to see if there was anything being said about it...

    Mais franchement, à un moment j'en ai eu marre d'attendre seul à VdR que quelqu'un vienne PvP, j'en ai eu marre de proposer quasiment tous les soirs des matchs sur le canal arène avec comme seule réponse un grand silence alors que pendant ce temps là, le reste de la Brigade s'éclate sur Union à PvP "en masse" (tous les soirs on peut se retrouver à 6vs6 voire plus) en zone ou en arène...
    Mais comme je suis un incorrigible optimiste (ou pas), je continue à commencer mes soirées de jeu par une connexion sur Vigi, à VdR, pour constater que je suis seul en zone.
    Alors oui si on reste tous sur Vigilance ça fera d'avantage de monde, mais perso je joue à peu près 2h par jour, parfois moins, et je paye 13€ par mois. Et c'est surement pas pour poireauter dans une zone vide, mais pour m'amuser et trouver un peu de "compétition". C'est peut-être égoïste ou autre, mais tant pis j'assume
    La (peut-être) bonne nouvelle, c'est que le 28 février les transferts de serveur redeviendront payants, et que (peut-être) pas mal de persos ainsi que les joueurs qui vont avec vont réintégrer leur serveur d'origine.
    Et pour finir, si je suis au courant d'une soirée PvP sur Vigi, sous nimporte quelle forme, il est clair que j'en suis et que je serai pas le seul
    Now basically translated, that says,

    "Okay, I'll be of my small contribution to the discussion, I am feeling a little referred here I've migrated part of my PvP display on union to track my potes, and indeed I was a little the irreducible Gallic band, last to move from the other side of the channel.
    But frankly, at a time I in had fed up of waiting alone at VdR that someone comes PvP, I in was fed up of almost offer nightly appearances on channel arena with as only one answer "mass grand silence so that during this time, the rest of the Brigade is explodes on PvP Union" (nightly can find 6vs6 or even more) in a zone or arena...
    But as I am an uncorrectable optimistic (or not), I continue to begin my evenings set by a connection on Vigi, VdR, to see that I am only in a zone.
    Will then Yes if it remains on vigilance that make world, more about me I play-roughly 2 hours per day, sometimes less but I pay 13 € per month. And that is surely not to poireauter in an empty but for fun and find a little "competition". Perhaps this is selfish or other, but too bad I assume the (perhaps) good news, is 28 February server transfers redeviendront paying and (perhaps) quite a display as well as players with will reinstate their origin server.
    And finally, if I am aware of an evening PvP on Vigi, under power what form it is clear that I am and I will not be the only"

    So.... as far as I can see they seem to be advertising Union pvp to their community which I guess is fine, more pvp the better, however....

    It is frustrating when broadcast chat on your own server looks something like the quoted box here.

    Any chance that we can have a French channel for those who don't speak english ??

    It's the only thing I can think of at the moment because to be honest it's getting on my wick ! ! ! !

    And if they are going to advertise it to all their French mates, tell them to respect the fact that Union is an English speaking server !
  11. 6 Years Vet reward and you get 5% on insps.... Pfft.

    Sorry but thats hardly worth the wait.
  12. I know there was a 5 level thingy change recently.. or something but to be honest im not too clear on it all... so could someone please tell me, What level Each of the task forces exemplars you to.

    I am planning my 2nd build so that I can pick up TF commander badge.

    ty x
  13. Ok so Double Xp is super tyvm....

    But why the reactivation on expired accounts ?? All that happens is all the Aholes that have left the game because of PvP 2.0 come flooding back to moan about it for free.
  14. Donna_

    Get 2 50 fast?

    I have recently upped my game when it comes to farming...

    Would anyone like to offer me some much desired Blue influence to PL them a toon ?

    Villains or Heroes doesn't matter... Last one i did took me about 7 hrs. (guesstimate)

    post here, or get me on @Donna or @Donna2

    609 ???

    AH !... ok thanks

It's ridiculous that purples are up to and over 300mil, oblits and kin com's are sometimes up to 100 mil.

    I don't understand why greed runs the market. I sell EVERYTHING for 222. I care less about the "going rate" and that includes such things as Miracle: recovs up to purps. They sell for far above the 222 list BUT that's something i can't help. I've had to become a hoarder to IO my toons. I had to stop a toon at 35 just to get IO's under 50 from tickets and i farm hours per day and craft and keep in a bin what i think i might need in the future. I've even allowed people i know to come look in my bins and sell to them at 1/2 of the market rates because the prices have gotten ridiculous for alot of people.

    I guess as you try to greed the inf and market pieces, i'm trying to lower it by listing everything i get for the lowest prices i can. But i'm sure there's more greedy people than there are people trying to think about everyone and not just themselves.
    Greed has nothing to do with it, it's to do with being able to afford the IO's that are so expensive they are frustratingly out of reach.

    I have many a time suggested there should be no bidding and there should be a single price for each IO. No salvage and no recipes just IO's.... and if they drop you get a set price and if you want to buy they cost a set price....

    So don't come into a constructive thread and play your "im a martyr" card on me !

    "Your all greedy and I'm trying to lower the prices"......... please! you selling your piddly drop at a low price will not effect the market anymore than me asking how to flip an item.

    But if it makes you feel better, do what you want... but at least do it quietly.

    609 ???

    I have been slotting up my MartialArts / Regen scrapper recently...

    Now on my WP tank I used numina's to great effect, I have a 742hp Aidself in Rv, making full use of the +heal set bonuses.

    So, I wanted to do the same with my scrapper and giver her massive Heal bonuses, however as I slot the IO's I have been saving for... I find that reconstruction has stay'd the same figure even after I have slotted 2 more sets.

    Dull pain increased as expected from 1001 to 1140(not exact figures) but Reconstruction seems to be capped at 609.

    No extra sets are increasing it....

    Does anyone know if Reconstruction has a heal cap??
  18. Gawd it's that ebay nightmare all over again!

    So you probably would all make a mint outta me on union, :P

    Well here's an idea, is it possible to change the price of an item when people are unsure what the value really is... say there is something with no bids, but a small supply.

    20 IO's for example.

    What would stop me buying them all, and reposting at a price + 20 Mil over the original...

    I would use another toon to buy 5 at the new price so that the sale history was consistant.... and there after all sales would be at the higher price???

    Or would that just be very destructive to the market ?

In my experience, they return to "normal" pretty quickly.

    If you were to keep the margin smaller...like say a 50% increase, and continue snapping up all the supply without logging out for a looong time, yeah you might be able to make enough profit to eliminate the investment it took to buy the entire supply up. Maybe.

    And for what it is worth, I have "BUY IT NAAAAOOO" periods, too.

    Yea the supply may increase, but who is going to list their IO at less than the recent sold price.
  20. haha my buy it NAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOO period is measured in badges, I think some of you call it vet rewards :P



    Love slotting toons, it's like shopping... better i do it in game than irl. heheh,

  22. Lets do our best not to attract the should farm dont farm croud of debaters.. :P

    Is it better to find 1 recipe and stick to trying to increase the price? Or how does that work....

    Fieldcrafter badge would be handy, but isn't it a nightmare to get?
  23. Oh I see..

    It's all so clear now, at the moment i'm only making inf through farming 54's in the Ae and selling what I get from ticket drops... Over the last 2 nights (about 3hrs in total) I made roughly 500M and spent it on a PvP toon just as fast...

    Got loadsa IO's to buy for her yet... So is there a faster way to make money out the market? and what's this flipping thing about >.<
  24. Yeah, common ones too...

    Thank you to all the crafters who make me the lvl 50 common IO's and
    all the named sets... =D


    But wouldn't it be easier to have no salvage and no recipes and for IO's just to drop ready to use??

    Seems a long way round for a shortcut.
