    Botched ritual?

    It's not luck! What kind of savage does a resurrection invocation without blood?!
  2. Slight spelling nitpick, I believe you mean "Duel Archery." Is this on your Rouge?
  3. This is an exciting thread, given DV's post history.

    Botched ritual.

    I didn't read anything, and correctly completed the ritual. I didn't know there WAS a debuff until this thread. I just did what felt right.

    This is everything you need to know about the beta process.

    Botched ritual?

    Since any good ritual uses blood in it, I opted to use my own blood first chance I got. I had no idea there was a temp power associated with failure until I read about it on the wiki.

    Indeed. The 'tier 1' people aren't specific to City of Heroes at all--they're the, "Is it plugged in? Is it turned on?" gang. That's why it's worth asking CS to escalate an issue if you know it's an issue. In this case, it's just an intermittent error that we can work around, so...not worth reporting. :/

    And yeah, as a hero I got a Sharkhead delivery mission just now. Dismissed!

    Thanks for the updated info, Zombie.

"It will be fixed as soon as possible." When I told him today that that was what I was told last year, he said "Thanks for playing " etc. Boy, what fun.
    This^^^ and the previous^^^. The new content is gated behind broken old content that we've already done? What kind of stupid decision was that?

    Lore Question

    Does this help?

    All pets are T4 Core Superior Ally.

    Again, Longbow get special mention, they don't have 184 raw DPS and achieved their results through the cataphract's ability to keep the Pylon's regen floored for the entire fight (-500 to -2000% regen).
    • Cimerorans = 278
    • Warworks = 209
    • Phantoms = 204
    • Rularuu = 199
    • Carnies = 184
    • Longbow* = 184
    • Rikti = 180
    • IDF = 179
    • Arachnos = 177
    • Nemesis = 164
    • Robotic Drones = 162
    • Polar Lights = 160
    • Storm Elementals = 148
    • Vanguard = 141
    • Seers = 131

    Some other notes:

    Storm Elementals, Carnies & the Laser Drone started to run low on endurance around the 3 minute mark and this hampered their performance a bit - that's pretty bad IMO considering the Character I was using had T4 Cardiac Core Paragon slotted.


    Phantoms & IDF manage some solid times considering they are cycling PBAoEs (FSC & Whirling Hands) in there.





    Glad to have helped!

    Obviously there is the whole, "Pick two melee or pick on melee and one support" option at the mid-level tiers. In my experience, most everything is pretty much on par with everything else. Unless you're really min-maxing, you can't really go "wrong."
  14. If I can put male hair in barrettes, I'm sold.

    Do NOT buy that from DELL

    DELL specifically is one of the worst places to go for a high performance RIG. You are spending a good deal on the comp. Do not waste the money buying from some company know for substandard gaming rigs. GL.
    Did you chase this poor player to the forums after you called for backup in the Technical Issues area?

    You're right.

    How about adverse possession?

    Oh hey, nice one. Always loved that story. *two thumbs up*

    Been there, done that--I would argue that it doesn't take much prestige before you're in the same spot with regard to bases: "when you already own everything you want or could need...what do you do with it?"

    If there was some kind of B token, I might get back into crafting...
