Ignoring my point and instead insulting me. Way to go.

Quote:Ditto on this. Defense caps are easy to hit, while resistance isn't, so I love having a resistance buffer on the team when I'm on a melee person.Originally Posted by BrandX
As for when I'm on a melee, love having them on the team. More resists? YES PLEASE! -
Quote:This specific problem has already been stated by developers as something they want to rectify. If you're going to badmouth people, get your facts straight instead of throwing hyperbole everywhere.Originally Posted by Evangel_NA
Considering the devs ignore 99% of the bugs/errors/bad programming that get reported
-
Generally speaking, debuffs from buff/debuff sets don't stack, while debuffs from blast sets do. If you have mids, you can check this by hovering over the effect and seeing if the popup includes a tag of "Effect does not stack from same caster".

I knew this thread would deliver eventually.

Ah it was, I didn't notice that. Thanks.

The only way to hit 80-100% -res is to start using screech in your attack chain, which is only useful if you're on a team. If you're solo, it's best to use the attacks.

Quote:Definitely healing. With spiritual (which you're no doubt using in a build like this) the heal hits for about 352 followed by about 646 over the next thirty seconds. And this is an area heal. More if the target is accelerated, of course.Originally Posted by JayboH
...by the way, what are all of you slotting in Chrono Shift after putting recharge in it?
-
The endurance costs are the most prohibitive part of the set. And -regen is overrated and won't make any noticable difference for most players.
-
Quote:There was a sonic blast DPS thread that I contributed to. No idea where it is now though. Basically, you want to do shriek, scream, shriek, shout unless you have an extremely high amount of recharge, in which case you want to alternate between shriek and scream. I don't know what the exact boundary is.Originally Posted by boppaholic
TNow I just need to run through all the calculations and figure out what's the best ST attack chain I can come up with for when I face an AV or GM.
-
It is. The defender version was copied over from blasters and modified.
-
Black Scorpion is the lead powers guy, but Synapse has been more active on the boards recently. Depending on what it is, a bug report might be best.
-
Time's Juncture debuffing to-hit just as much as hurricane does. Now THAT was interesting.
-
Quote:Compared to the other time stuff that got fixed in beta, this is pretty minor. Like you though, I don't really understand how this didn't make it into an earlier patch.Originally Posted by Oathbound
For such a (seemingly) simple fix* it really shouldn't be taking even this long to fix. -_-
-
I definitely advise the leadership pool as well.
-
Here's a list of powers you want to take, along with suggested slotting. Not everyone likes siren's song, but I suggest you take it and give it a shot. Easy enough to respec out of it if you find out it's not for you.
Note: You may be unable to load this build. I'm using a screwy version of mids.

Information that is not directly related to the topic of this thread, but is of relevance to people who are interested in this thread:
Current goal with the next mids version is to have it done by monday. If it's not done by monday, it's going to be over another week before it's out. -

What else could you possibly even say it specializes in?

fire doesn't get any kind of bonus on defenders compared to other ATs.

Quote:Let's not get started on how overpowered VEATs are.Originally Posted by Lady_of_Ysgard
Actually, the LOWEST +defense numbers on my current crab build on Live (Not 'wishlist in Mids' but actually live right now and looking at power details) are 45% to Energy and Negative energy, with my highest being 57.6% Ranged...so...yeah.
This is a widespread, but inaccurate, belief. The target cap or low radius on the two -res powers in trick arrow result in it being about the same as the other sets that have resistance debuffs, even if you somehow manage to hit every enemy with acid arrow's small area.Quote:Originally Posted by Turbo_Ski
Trick Arrow specializes in -res AoEs

You're looking at neutrino bolt-cosmic burst-neutrino bolt-repeat being your single target attack chain. Throw in electric fence before the repeat if you're using the electric APP.

Quote:Sonic and force field at least do what they specialize in better than any other set. Trick arrow does not accomplish this.Originally Posted by Turbo_Ski
I would say Sonic, FF, and TA are all about on the same level, they all need help.
This is a problem with IOs, not with force field.Quote:Originally Posted by Great_Scott
What does FF add to a team when many players are already +Def soft-capped? -
Quote:This is exactly why I advise people to take pistols on a defender/corruptor and pair it with a set that debuffs damage.Originally Posted by SonicRemedy
Bullet Rain + Chemical Ammunition + Times Juncture = Whut Damage?

Quote:God, can we not do this conversation again? I'm really tired of all the ridiculous edge cases that get brought up as evidence.Originally Posted by Turbo_Ski
Which deals more damage, Ice/Rad Corr doing Ice Bolt->Ice Blast->Bitter Ice Blast-> or a Rad/Ice defender doing Ice Bolt->Ice Blast? The Corruptor because they get BIB WAY sooner.
