Gashes

Could be. My fire/ice tank has it in burn, its 100% (1 stack) each application.

I like to see how others view it in a similar (e.g. 8 second recharge) power

tested a few times.
on my invul/ss, superior version (should proc every 10 seconds), in haymaker, after 20 minutes of play:
1 triple stack (didnt last long)
3 double stack
rest single stack
LOTS of no stack (attack hits, nothing)


Tried again on my dark/dark tank. Lots of no stacking.

I'm currently in the process of moving (currently in search mode, apartment wise), otherwise I'd check this out in a more direct manner and report here. Did the gauntlet bug creep back in (again)?

anyone else notice this? I looked at the description, no change.

I used presence pool and stacked it with my dark/dark tank. cloak of fear + presence pool = locked down bosses. I skipped taunt to fit them in, and yes, I miss my autohit.

My electric tank, I slotted for endurance mod, and drain the blue away, mitigation by unable to use any big attacks.

So, your not the only one. But I ALWAYS take my status protection.

we discuss all about it :P

I assume if you cant access the beta boards, then the link wont work ...

for those of us who didnt hear about it in Beta, can you better define the problem, so we can share?

What was the problem with vigor and WP tanks?

Just putting out what I found out recently (sadly, post respec).

My shield tanker has 3 membranes in Active Defense. Even though you couldnt slot defense IO's, only recharge, Active Defense benefitted from defense (via membranes) by increasing its defense debuff resistance.

with those lovely unslotters, I can pull them out, back in, etc. I tested with them, and without them (using only 3 recharge SO's). While there is a period of overlap with membranes and SO's (and the defense debuff resistance will add twice during the overlap period), the defense debuff resistance value no longer changes (membrane vs SO).


Just thought I'd share this with anyone else who put in membranes in active defense (I plan on yanking them out and moving 1 slot elsewhere).


Edit: oh, mids shows the old functionality as still working, fyi.

Dear Devs,
Do the vanity pet sings 'be our guest'? If so, I have my credit card right here!

Oh, if I get rularuu costume and a liger and bee power, can I have a liger, the size of rularuu who shoots bees from his mouth? If so, can I custom color each bee, so I can say 'FEEL THE RAINBOW' after each attack?
I just purchased my custome AT of rularuu summoning. Please make it so.

Thanks.

recent HO bug fixes were things like defence debuff actually adding defense buff values, if they could be slotted. likewise damage <--> resistance were interchangeable before.

Mids has missed things before, but more hoping/wondering if someone actually tried.
Bah, your probably right though

I know quite a few powers, mindlink, vengeance, where any +recharge of an IO will affect the power, though it wont take recharge IO's itself.

Storm kick doesnt take def IO's or sets, but if I use an HO with a +def component, would it work?

Thanks.

Anyone else find it semi-ironic, that a poster named Cuddlemuffin is asking for terrorize protection ;-)

I almost think his name would do it.

enemy: FEAR MEH CUDDLE...., um, cuddlemuffin?
cuddlemuffin: arent you going to terrorize me into helplessness?

enemy: I was ... Now I just want to hug you and snuggle you!
enemy: SNUGGLE MEH!
cuddlemuffin: *terrorized by the thought of it*

Its hard to tell what you want, looking at the builds.
4 slotted aegis, gives 2.5% debt protection.
You have 4 slotted mako's (I assume for the 3% damage buff?), but you leave your superior tank IO 6 slotted (if you broke it up to 4/2 slotting, you would get 2 4% damage buffs)

While reactive does give +1.25% SL defense for 4 slotting, as an electric tank with capped energy resists, it doesnt help you much.

You took conserve power and physical perfection (slotted with end mod IO's), but your ELECTRIC! You have power sink (heck, even energize), you shouldnt ever need those powers.

If you want a hero APP, think fire. nothing says love like a fireball to the face.

The other advantage electric has, is endurance drain. They cant use big hitters when they are drained.

power sink should be maxed out on endurance mod, recharge. one build did, one build didnt do that.
Lightning field can keep them from recovering endurance. Accuracy, end mod first, then damage, then endurance reduction (you can always use power sink if you get low).

drained enemies cant use heavy hitting attacks. power sink will make them useless, and lightning field will keep them useless.

Some builds are insane on recharge. Recharge is always fun and good, but, defensive wise, it only helps energize. Most of your attacks are at 1.6seconds. If that was true, you'd only need 1 attack (animation time).

you also used 6 slotted oblit, which gives 3.75 MELEE defense. Your better off with getting SL defense

impervium only helps you if you 6 slot it for extra psi resist. you dont need the +end, your an electric tank.

kin combat is a great set, but instead of adding a DER, you should add an ADR (the accuracy is low)

I changed the middle posting, gave you more fire/cold defense (cold shows up a lot in DA), still have good psi resists, and gave you some extra accuracy bonuses (and damage bonuses)

I added assault/tactics, but you can add TP friend, stealth, whatever you wish.
I did this, because, it appeared you wanted more +dam, and the +to hit always helps.
Again, your electric, so you shouldnt have major endurance problems (also, energize is up about 2/3 of the time, which is like a free conserve power, 2/3 of the time ;-)

This modified builds gives:
DEF SL: 37%, fire/cold: 30.8%, energy/neg/psi: 18.3%
RES SL: 85%, F/C: 62%, E:90%, neg:47%, psi: 78%

57.5% +recharge, +18% accuracy, +13% to hit, +18.5% damage

from the patch notes today:
Tanker

Fixed an issue with Tanker single-target powers where their proc chance for PPM enhancements was erroneously being penalized for Gauntlet's AoE. Tanker attack powers should now have the same proc chance on PPM enhancements as other Archtypes' versions of those powers.

Plus, you can now slot in aura damage powers

Not the first time I got confused on things. So many different types of merits, tokens, etc. Thanks for the clarification.

Ok, the problem with windfall, is, I have no idea what it does. I've tried it a few times, and I dont see any significant difference in drops. Just bad luck? Is it because im on a team, so it increases for everyone, and the drops are random between team members?
Should I only use it solo?? I can read the description, but the team setting makes me wonder.

Also, 'experience', which is supposed to increase xp by 25%. If I Have patrol xp, does it help? Or like double xp weekend, it means nothing. I know there is a power that gives you 5 bars of patrol xp, and they are mutually exclusive of each other.

Speaking of 2x XP weekend, would that affect the iXP in dark astoria or any trials? I'd like to know how to spend my time.

The Leprechaun pet, how much influence does it increase? I dont want to buy it to find out.

Why does paragon store suck so much? If I've bought 1 of 10 salvage increases, and come back later, it still shows up. If I put 1/10 salvage increase in my cart and try to buy it, it wont let me, but it does NOT tell me which item is the offending item.
Costume items, there is NO link or other way to preview the costumes. Even the paragon rewards fire/ice, required too much effort to simply browse at what it is.

Ok, the last is a rant, unless I'm missing some easy, fundamental way to preview costumes or some setting to hide previously purchased goods?
