  1. The amount of l33t in these posts is clogging my arteries.
  2. Isn't there a cap to the maximum absolute value of the hp debuff on degenerative? Or am I mixing up my vivid dreams and reality again?

    YOU TAKE THAT BACK. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE DISNEY CHANNEL.

    Incorrect.

    It seems to me that this argument is nothing but a misunderstanding of wording.

    Seriously. There's no such thing as Resistance debuff resistance. It's been common knowledge for some time now. 10% resistance debuff results in 10% damage increase.

    It's not.

    The TLDR is that reactive is better unless you're soloing a pylon or are concerned about stacking.

    That should be your hint that it shouldn't be used.

    This. Status effects are EXTREMELY powerful in CoH compared to other MMOs.

    I think RiverOcean's suggestion is a good one. DCUO allows you to do things like freeze someone in a block of ice, pick them up, and slam them in the ground. It's more brawler than MMO, which is a deal breaker for a lot of people, but it's the best example I can think of.

    ...I lost count. My water defender is almost 50 (I no longer feel the need to specify the buff/debuff set).

    I'm glad to hear that the archetype worked well for you specifically when you used high tier powersets. Unfortunately, this was not the experience for many people, and that's why the archetype was targeted for buffs. The decision was made based on datamining that showed that not only were blasters the least successful archetype, but they were the least successful by a very large margin.

    Why such a large portion of this community become personally offended by buffs to their favored characters and feel the need to advertise it like a vegan at a barbeque is a mystery I don't think I'll ever understand.
  12. Item purchases are supposed to be disabled as part of the impending shutdown.
  13. Yes, market items become available according to a preprogrammed schedule.
  14. Way to hijack the thread guys. That didn't last long at all.

    If I had known that that was the way to get QA jobs, I would have done it. I was in the closed beta with you at the time.

    If I hadn't already put a quote in my sig related to this, I would use this instead.

    QFT. It somehow got ingrained in the player base that if you don't have high levels of debuff resistance then you immediately fall apart when you come across debuffing enemies, and it's absolutely not true.

    Maybe because explosive blast can hit more targets?

    I only mentioned sets with sonic blast synergy in my post. Traps goes well with everything.
