Yeah I think it's freaking WIN. It makes perfect sense anyway. Soldiers of Arachnos shouldnt be about being ebil, but they are in fact ebil, by playing both sides for the most personal gain.

The word is evil, there is no b in it.
and ebil just looks silly and makes
the one posting it look a little dumb.

As to going rogue and side switchin SoAs
I pray that we can't switch, though I'll
guess we can. Its one of the aspects of
the going rogue that will likely be my
end of this game.

What's the problem with it? What are Soldiers of Arachnos going to fight that they don't already? Rularuu?

[/ QUOTE ]

actually theres a mish in nerva that lets you take some on, from tech nylor.

Can I start LOL'ing?

why?

kids these days...

when im on my MM i treat brutes like scrappers that are tough enough to not need micro managing.

as for slotting, my rule of thumb on attacks is if activation time < 1.5 slot recharge first, if 1.5 or more then slot damage first.

You consider just picking up acrobatics or slotting a knockback IO?

deleted what?

i remember deleting this craptastic brute I had that swung around pink pom poms and was as useful as someone swinging around pink pom poms... is that EM?

mmm

brutes should get Ice Melee.

it is win

the only thing i notice is all the random "spamvites" are for AE instead of normal content, but when i look for a team i usually dont have a problem finding one.

i use BU and LR together

they have the same recharge

they come back up together.

edit: sometimes I lag so i end up not using LR till way later cause BU goes off when i click it but I wait for the animation, which isnt for a few seconds.

It's amazing how such a simple change to a single power takes a set from being fun to being "meh". I've shelved my EM/EA indefinitely.

[/ QUOTE ]
Turning TF into a mag 3 stun instead of mag 4 didn't help either.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup.. EM was all about getting Energy Transfer for me. Having that one fast devastating attack made it all worth while. My EM is also perm shelved.

TF ET was 1337 before. now ...rofl

OH GOD NO!!!

long animations = good

WP.

WP is a balanced set in terms of defences, and does well enough with any one of them when you add in end drain, which lowers their attack freq.

point is, you always have something for everything.

energy aura...

so strong

Ya know, they DID change a lot of animations and made a bunch of them similar in duration to each other a while back.

speculation

Maybe normalizing the animation times for several different powers was needed in order for them to even have a glimmer of a chance at giving us the ability to change the animations for some powers without being overly beneficial for some powers and being harmful to others.

/speculation

We'll see when i16 hits just what we get. And just because we MAY NOT get the ability to change animations in i16, doesn't mean we might not get it somewhere down the road.

i hope you're right...

OMG BAB POSTED IN MY TOPIC, i feel so speshul now, im swooning.

some people dont like JL because of the narrow cone. i dont worry about that, its still a high damage attack with a fast enough animation to build fury (1.67, almost as fast as havoc's 1.5) that dosent have a smash component. i dont even bother aiming it, if it hits extras its a bonus.

but ci gets more targets more easily, no need for a cone shape, it can also hit targets out of range because it only needs to be in range of the last guy it sparked to. its mixed damage on the first target, but all energy like JL on others. it also seems to sleep enemies more often than other attacks, but that may be just me, the detailed info says the same chance...

but id definately grab both, i guess conserve is a good choice if you dont use it. i never much liked thunder strike tbqh, now there's a slow animation...

something here dosent make sense...

well the guy did ask for a pretty build lol

I'm almost certain that it'll only be color customization, not a whole lot of new animations added to the game. They'll probably even call it something like "color customization," to emphasize that it's not full customization. I could certainly be wrong, but it's been hard enough for them to do the color customization alone; I'd be surprised if they went to the vastly greater trouble of re-imagining and creating hundreds of new animations.

[/ QUOTE ]

i dont think it would be more than color either, but i sure do think it'd be cool.

i was thinking instead of making new animations, they would just rebalance the damage to suit 4-5 pre existing animations. that technology already exists in pvp, so i wouldnt imagine it being too too hard, it'd just take time, more time than i think squeezing it into 16 with color cust will allow for.

FF

storm is also good, so its mostly personal preferance, but i say FF

I hear this is something being looked into for going rogue. i really hope its more than color change on your fire ball, maybe make 4/5 different selectable animations for the power that have a similar cast time and then changing the average damage so that DPA and damage per cast cycle stay the same or within a few decimals at 50.

if they could get that to work well i think its implementation would be the next thing to get rave reviews, and so soon after the MA system, that would really be the 1 2 punch on other MMOs out there.

well, i dont think it'd actually kill the WoW gorilla, but it'd still bring a lot of competition to the table.
