    DPO? What's DPO?

    Oh dear... should've known this would happen.
  2. The title of this thread... oh, so dirty.
  3. Steelclaw, you're not funny.

    You're hilarious.

    Yes.
  5. Until you have enough +Rchg or powers to spam, take Snap Shot. It's still a good filler attack for low to mid levels.
  6. Unless you have an army of NPCs attacking you.
  7. I think he meant Web Cocoon, which is the tier 4 power of Bane Spider Training. Albeit being the final power of Banes, it's pretty unexciting and feels like it should've been in the primary set anyway.

    DPO? What's DPO?

    6 Issues ago we got Vanguard DPOs scattered around CoH and CoV, but I still don't know what DPO is supposed to mean.

    Disaster Preparedness Office?

    What? A new Epic AT and people have already gotten them to 50?

    Oh you mean Banes already don't step on Stalkers' toes?
  11. Scrappers aren't broken... their enemies are!

    X-ray beam has a 1.67s activation too, but it lets you act sooner. Try this:

    Neutrino Bolt -> X Ray Beam -> Neutrino Bolt

    If you don't have any +rchg, neutrino bolt (with 1.5s recharge) is ready just in time as X-ray's activation stops, with a little leeway.

    However, when you replace X-ray Beam with another "1.67s" power such as Neutron Bomb, you'll notice that you can't fire Neutrino Bolt as soon as you could with X-ray Beam.

    Neutrino Bolt -> Neutron Bomb -> Neutrino Bolt takes longer to execute than X-ray beam, meaning that there's something wrong with Neutron Bomb.
  13. There's something weird about Neutron Bomb. It says that its cast time is 1.67 seconds, but it takes a lot longer for you to actually do anything. I've played with many powers that have a 1.67s animation, and I believe that Neutron Bomb's root time is longer than its animation time, causing it to have actually have a longer activation time than advertised.

    I'd say that there are Controllers, and then there are Fire/Kins.

    And Illusion/Rads.

    That, and Disruptor Blast is a rather long, relatively narrow cone (a lot like Full Auto, in fact)
    Disruptor Blast isn't a cone, it's a targeted AoE like Fireball or Explosive Blast. Mace Volley, however, is a cone, but that's available only to Banes and Masterminds.

    Take Disruptor Blast.

    Boys and girls

    I'm not alone when I think that some concepts fit the female gender better.
  17. Only Blaster and Dominator Thunder Strikes do KB (and Defender one from their EPP)

    Scrapper, Tanker, Brute, Stalker and MM (from their PPP) Thunder Strikes do KD.
  18. Now that you can actually repair yourself, having actual resistance (instead of huge chunks of +HP) is great because it affects your health bar more.

    Also, the +regen aspect is more useful when you have some means to stop or halt their attacks a bit with enddrain (works best against 0-+2 mobs, slightly less useful against +3s and meh against +4s, IME)
  19. I don't have Energize perma but having it at 35s works well for me so far.
