What the hell does identical inherently mean? I don't understand.

And to surpass a tanker's damage output, a brute only needs 10%. So again, i don't udnerstand your gibberish.

[/ QUOTE ]

My point is this:
to have to have an almost entirely full fury bar to perform the same attack (offensive) animation as a tanker, who is less offensive (attack) in orientation, is idiotic, if I were to use the least insulting term possible.

if you think concept and statistics are the same thing, then I pity you, and wonder if I will have to get a dictionary as well, since you have so much trouble understanding anyone's posts.

definately get hasten with DM, cant agree more.

clouded, which set combo do you find to be the "least poor" for fighting rikti?

you get it better after you build up, way better, statistically

conceptually, its the same damn attack.

[/ QUOTE ]

You seem to use words that you have no clue as to their meaning.

Most attacks between Tanks and Brutes are IDENTICAL. What makes brutes a damage dealer is their Inherent; Fury. If you think building 10% Fury, which takes all of 3-4 attacks, is too cumbersome for you to handle...then go back to scrappers silly boy.

Brutes will always out pace tanks in terms of damage output and will *usually* out pace scrappers (if we deal with DPS over time and 90%+ Fury).

God knows what point you are trying to make since your basis is so flawed it makes no sense.

[/ QUOTE ]

2 things:
identical inherently, not after you build up 85 fury
85 fury, not 10

BONUS!
people that call others boy are usually in their teens.

you get it better after you build up, way better, statistically

conceptually, its the same damn attack.

regardless of balance through numbers it is a poor conceptual decision to make the more damage oriented brute have to build up for an attack that the more defense oriented tanker gets out of the box.

there, no more rhetorical questions to fly over your head.

Do you.... think Tanks should appear in any way to be "133789 DMGES dealers111"?

[/ QUOTE ]

um... the biggest gap i see is 5/12 to 5/20... thats hardly necro.

WP compared to stone:
So this other guy? He's a terminator too, right, like you?
TERMINATOR; Not like me. A T-1000. Advanced prototype. A mimetic polyalloy.
JOHN; What does that mean?
TERMINATOR; Liquid metal.

of course just like arnold still wins, stone is still the better tank.

O.o


Brute at 85 Fury >>>>>>> Tanker

[/ QUOTE ]

so then why should tankers be able to "just blink and the power comes out!" where as brutes have to build up to it?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think every tank in game would swap gauntlet for fury, in fact fury was going to be the Tanks inherant at one point.

As it stands tanks do about 6% more damage than brutes off the bat so as Bill put it "a burp purs brutes over tank damage" there really isnt much of a build up.

[ QUOTE ]
Tankers should always have the original animation. They are bastions of power... have so much reserve power they can look at Hamidon and say "lulz." To call up extra power is, to Tankers, but a laughable grit of the teeth... revert to the original ET animation.

A Brute... starts with the new ET animation... They would need to focus to attain such high damage... once a brute hits 85%+ on their Fury bar, the original ET animation comes back into play.

so then explain this to me plox

Air Superiority is basically a useless filler attack. Of course if you don't want Hasten I would suggest going SJ.


[/ QUOTE ]

Uhm...what planet are you living on? Air Sup is one of the BEST power pool attacks you can get in pve. Both in utility and damage.

[/ QUOTE ]

pshhhh, useless garbage. an attack that with just set bonus recharge rate increse will be ready for use faster than the opponent gets back up, and that takes down flying enemies, and that has roughly the same damage as your AT "moderate" attack choices, who in their right mind would want that!

Ladies (if you are, indeed, ladies):

People who assume that there are no girls on the internet (hyperbole) do so out of practical experience. We aren't making a judgment about you by doing so, we're just trying to protect ourselves from having sweet, sweet cyber with a 12 year old boy or male 37 year old Best Buy Geek Squad worker.

I assume that everyone I play with is male until I hear them on Ventrilo. I don't *want* you to come on my vent, I'm fine with assuming you're a dude, I just take everything you say with a grain of salt. If you are a chick after all, good for you. If you are a dude pretending to be a chick...I'm sorry.

It's not anything the ladies of the internet have done to shake our trust in them, it's the faux-ladies of the internet.

this

i hide in the shadow of anonymity most of the time, my personal life isnt brought up much because i dont play video games to remember work or that guy at the bus stop who took his shoulder out of the socket so he could make out with his elbow.

any woman who thinks they are proving women have what it takes to be a success in the video game (or any) industry by taking advantage of their womanhood are not only degrading themselves to a point where even if they were a confirmed female I wouldnt want anything to do with them, but are also only proving that they dont need to meet the standard because some guy with a hard on will carry them (duh).

there are exceptions to the rule that all women on the internet are little boys, but that dosent mean men should open up and end up getting arrested or hitting on something they dont want.

brutes have to be at 85% fury to do the damage of a tanker?

wait, so then why the "eww... lightning clap... i want smash" comment?

OFT
i wish you got heavy burst instead of slug, nothing sucks more than being "AR/" and only having 2 attacks that use it, and like 4-5 that use the m-203.

OT
i think itll "rise above the noise" just make sure corr is in the title and im sure he will be thanking heaven as he opens it that its not another dom Q or QQ.

i like that its a KB to go with Air Sup early lvl, but i'd definately leave it with my 1st respec at 24. and this may be an ill founded opinion, but elec/wp isnt a good choice if you want smash, youve got SM/WP or elec/SD (or any primary rocking AaO) for that. i mean elec (en) dosent get the shaft like S/L/F but its no neg-en/psi/tox either, and i certainly didnt see fast heal, qr, rttc, hpt, MoB, hs, or indom and think it was smashers paradise.

but I like the way the 2 sets compliment each other. there isnt alot of resist to defense/res debuffs, so the sleeps help keep things from stacking. RttC + AoE makes sense. you need time to regen damage and the lowered attack rates of end drained EBs and such do just that. lastly that conmes right off the dome for me (havent slept) is that elec is a lil end piggy, qr and not being toggle heavy helps.

1.
While my group and I are hunting bosses on the zone map, coming out of no where and assassin striking the boss before saying "I'm a lvl 22 energy assassin can I get on the team?" Then doing it again while I'm talking to you and my team starts on another one, followed by saying "Well I wouldnt be leeching xp if I were in the group..." you arent going to bully an invite out of me, sorry.

2.
Naming your character "StankSkank" and psting me "If you let me in I'll let you in." That's ****ing disgusting, plus all girls on the internet are little boys, 1/3rd of which are annoying, another 3rd of which are old men looking for little boys, and the final 3rd of which are cops looking for old men.

3.
Making your character look like link and naming yourself "The Triforian" I will rofl and never take you seriously, seriously.

4.
Talking to be about:
How drunk you were last night.
The dump you just took.
How you were with some girl and are thinking of seeing the doctor because you think you might have the drips.
How much chicken you just ate.
Anything related to your [censored] what so ever, before asking for your invite. Also, while just casually talking about your boobs makes you slightly more tactful than "StankSkank" it's not going to help you with me.

With Regards
Gearford.

yeah i would take period guy's advice.

oh, and gotchya, rag =P

1) You don't need that many end redx in your toggles. With QR and stamina, 2 end redx IOs on your toggles is overkill. They aren't even that expensive to begin with. You could comfortable go without *any* end redx in your toggles. I also have found that I dont need end redux in my attacks either.

2) Since you don't have your fourth pool chosen yet, consider taking air superiority. It's a decent attack, has mitigation and is fast activating.

3) To toughen yourself up, add IO set bonuses that either boosts your S/L defense, defenses to fire/cold/energy/neg energy and add hitpoints. For example, 4 slotting Kinetic Combat in your attacks yields about 3.5% (?) S/L defense that stacks nicely with Heightened Senses. Slotting up Luck of the Gambler and Numina IOs boost hitpoints and can be fitted into many of your powers. Slotting Steadfast: Defense also helps a lil. There are 3 regen bonus uniques to slot in auto powers that give +25% (Regenerative Tissue) to +20% (one of them gives +10% recovery as well, they're in the guide in the laboratory forum) I dont know if HPT pulses but if it does thats where your steadfast should be.

4) Build up, Weave, Fast Healing, RTTC, Mind over Body all seem underslotted or unoptimized.

-stolen from fury

cept the year and a half before that

"beware, measly thugs, for i have started my ascent! yes, soon i will deliver a glorious blow that will decimate the likes of you all to a level never before seen by man kind! Quake in your boots while you witness my glory, for soon it shall bring hell upon you!!! Be afraid, mortals, for I have reached the apex of my fantastical leap, and have begun my decent! Yes, very soon now, your death is coming very soon, within mere seconds you shall feel the wrath of my brutish fists, only rivaled by the rapture! Ha, your deaths are almost upon you all!"

at this point, the mobs do the emote where they tap their foot.

you can always profit, nothing to fear.

say you read this and get smart, thinking "im gonna sell my stuff between vendor and table price to attract buyers and still make a profit!"

all that means is that your **** wont sell, because there will be one **** up who thinks he is being so smart by low balling everyone, not realizing he is selling under vendor because theyre an idiot.

there is never a shortage of idiots no matter where you look, you just have to take advantage of them.

...i feel dirty.

I'd reroll just because of the mispelling. I feel badly for high level characters with mispelled names: Candian Sheld, Black Rouge, Mistic Angle, all of which I've seen in game at one point or another.

[/ QUOTE ]

some of those arent mispelled:
Black Rouge. hey some guys paint their nails black, why not the face?
Mystic Angle. the 361st degree.

out of the 3 you mentioned, i would also choose WP. elec is a pretty end heavy primary, so QR+stam will be very useful (its useful for everyone, but is much more visible in this particular case)

WP is pretty balanced between resist and defense, combining that with the mitigation from elec sleeps makes for a good synergy.

alota AOE damage with RttC is pretty pimp too.

outside of the /wp part of the AT, may I suggest going Mu and picking up fences. they prevent knockback which is great for using with lightning clap for an extra layer of defense, plus mu gives some extra aoe damage, and keeps it elec for theme purposes.

dont have much experience with ea, but i can tell you that elec/elec is as drainy on your end as a car is on AAs

ok gents, im about to post up my opinion. please stop salivating, getting ready to type like little madtrolls because "YOUR OPINION IS WRONG NOOB!!!"

the OP was talking about a stormy getting in as a response to a broadcast for a healer. this means it was puggy

its way easier to be a good "mere healer" than it is to be good with your whole set.

amongst your S/VG or with friends, id agree with all the healer haters in the thread. I am not, however, going to take a chance puggin it up with some sonic cause he says things like "once i buff/debuff you wont need a healer!" and have him turn out to be some nubby nub nub.

laymans:
good buff/debuff > good healer
bad healer > bad buff/debuff

pugs are all about statistics. you have a better chance with someone AT'd for healing than the stormy or TA.

dudes and dudettes (most notably Ice):

he isnt doing shield, come off it.

i would definately go Mu for the fences, they prevent KB so you can lightning clap without pissing the group off or killing your RttC. the stun is some crazy mitigation for the team, too.

i dont remember my build off the bat, ive got to get one of them hero creator thingymaboobs.
