Well, I can tell you what I did with devices in regards to defense to give you some ideas. Gaussian's in targetting drone (2.5 all), stupefy in taser (3.13 range) , eradication in trip mine (1.565 range), expediant reinforcement in gun drone (3.13 range).
I don't pvp so I didn't even take cloaking device, super speed and a celerity stealth IO gives me full invis and without the annoying never ending hum of cloaking device that drives me crazy. Maybe they'll catch that one and hopefully someday put it on their list of powers who's sound effects should fade away after toggle on. The illogic of why stealth powers make noise in this game has always been a mystery to me. But that's a tangent. -

mish 2, isnt oro port a temp power? or is it considdered an acolade (dont know if that makes a difference)
seems like this is a lil harder than the SF version, i remember with gearford there was none of this micro managing and we just kind of steam rolled it.
im 36 almost 37 now, so who knows... I do the whole AE farm thing now so its possible =P -
DAMNIT. gotta get one of these gladiator thingys...

on my EN/Traps nothing gets past the trops, respecced out of trip mine because of this.
AR is also KB heavy, so id imagine it would be the same.
*I did make an AR/Dev for a little while but deleted him because I wasnt into the traps and just wanted to jump around with a gun drone throwing web grenades. sets that dont have a weapon draw work better for that. -

Just a quick note that Blessing of the Zephyr cannot be slotted into Auto +speed powers, nor can it be slotted into Sprint or any of it's variants. This is to prevent "overpowered" effects like you mentioned, as well as to prevent Vet players from having an advantage, particularly in PvP, because IIRC the 12 month vet reward gives you access to the Prestige Sprint powers, which would allow those players to get the full 5 set bonuses without having to take a bunch of extra travel powers.

I would go for positional defense. zephyr in LR/hurdle/travel power and others you can get it in give you some nice ranged/aoe defense gausians in tactics or build up is good too.

Besides, if you're not finding a team it's not that there arn't people there. Unfortunately, there was a mass exodos on Freedom not long ago, some due to other more "hip" games or whatever, and some due to character transfers. Funny thing about character transfers, everyone used to talk about Freedom and the farms and the lag, and the ignorance of "noobs" etc. Now every server has picked up most of ours and Freedom is now simply another server in the line-up. Oh, we still have the stuff I mentioned, but now, (As if Obama had taken over City of Heroes instead of the Presidential Office...) we've spread the wealth.
There is good news though, when you find a team, you are less likely to find people who have all 4 travel powers and no actual archetype powers, or as many people who will sit AFK at the entrance of the mission while the group goes to fight. Or the inevitable Blapper who thinks he's a tank, who disperses agro so that the entire team wipes on almost every single group. NOW, we have players who play the game and enjoy it. Even the farmers are less like they used to be after all!
Oh, and just for the record, I agree with Turg;
rofl rofl Obama.
they still did rabbits every now and then. cept with the router (dont know if you left before this) exploits, it was really hard to kill the guy... while he was inside a tree or mountain. -
Quote:do you mean the gameplay changes that turned it from an FPS to an RTS? like how it takes 3 full sized unguided rockets and over a magazine or striker homing missles to take out a mosquito, the smallest aircraft in the game. 3 decis for a max too.Originally Posted by Turgenev
Yeah, you started well after my time; I was in it in spring of 2003 through summer of '04 (COH pretty much stole me away). Started on Johari, which merged with Markov in the latter half of '03. That merger was okay; the community was doing fine honestly, 'til they made some sweeping gameplay changes in mid '04. (Actually, it was the culmination of a bunch of changes that evolved the flavor from the original FPS feel, which threw off the playerbase.)
I loved my PS peeps: I still keep in touch with a bunch of the outfits we used to coalition with for some wickedly major campaigns. IRON (my online crew) had lots of fun with simple "we root here, and we die or we win, maggots" tactics that got us a lot of "favorite enemy" status with the opposing armies.
Great time, easily the most fun I've had in an MMO - enough to make me dip my pen in the well for a bunch of short stories/novellas during that terrific first 18 months.
Watching Avatar, I keep thinking about Planetside. If you see the movie, you know why.
There's talk of a "Planetside Next" venture from Sony. No idea on the details, but if they bring back the Mosquito, I'll sub for a year just to fly again.
those kind of changes are what a lot of vets feel killed the game (and BFRs, of course) because it pigeon holed roles. Only air outside, since there was nothing but CE (land mines) on the ground for a tank to bother with, Maxes were a clearly superior indoor fighter, and infantry were really only useful because Maxes couldnt hold a REK to actually hack the base with. then they made rock-paper-scissors gameplay where mossies which arent realistically killable with infantry weapons steam roll infantry outside, AA maxes steam roll mossies with homing missles or flak cannons of death, and infantry kills the AA max so they respawn and grab an anti infantry max. the reaver got buffed so it can also escape its boundaries by killing an AA max with its rockets faster than it can kill them.
these pigeon holed roles and rock paper scissors game play drove away pops, the solution to being [censored] [censored]ed as an infantry man was, for most people, to hack.
it got REALLY bad when they merged werner with gemini.
I have little hope for PS next, like most SoE games it will be good at the start, they will screw it up, and instead of admitting they were dumb and reversing changes they will opt to do nothing and save on the loss of subs by cutting money spent on things like development, server maintainence, and customer support. exceptions to this rule are everquest and everquest 2 -
id assume you have vet powers, I could never last till 26 on 2 attacks w/o vet powers.
I would take the 2 end mods out of QR, put those slots in hurdle and get 3x zephyr for the ranged/aoe def. qr/stam with a p'shift proc each should cover end needs quite nicely, cept against elec where the recovery debuffs will eat through those mods like nothing anyway. -
regen definately gets the upper hand during IH uptime, and keeps up rather well during the down time on a perma DP (tee hee)
however WP is definately more wolverine, wolverine is tough and nimble (res/def) too, not just regen.
deadpool is often depicted as less tough (although theyre both nimble) and more reliant on insane regen, and also depicted as having better regen (as far as I know wolverine hasent had to regen from a decapitation) so when dual pistols (or even now DB) comes out a deadpool inspired hero/vil might be something to go for. -
I usually prioritize A/D/R enhans at the cost of some E, the trade off is gonna be more e lost than a d r gained but since my 2 mains are /elec and /wp e isnt that important =)

Quote:yeah, I edited it to just the word "resolved" so I can see where you missed it, I also made a thank you post so I could see where you would think its a fresh topic. My apoligies for any confusion.Originally Posted by Windenergy21
and catwhoord mentioned how he's not a fan of the set as a whole either, guess that inlcudes the proc. But i think the OP edited his original post, so i didn't see anything about this thread being just about the proc, seemed like it was the decimation set in general. Oh well, i stand by what i say, i generally avoid procs unless they are ABSOLUTELY necessary for bonuses like touch of death and mako for defense bonuses.
I may indeed use the acc/dam/rech enhancment since acc/dam/rech IOs are a little rarer on ranged damage sets.
might do something like:
deci - acc/dam/rech
apoc - acc/dam/rech *assuming I cant affoard* glad jav - acc/dam/rech/end
ruin - acc/dam/rech
devastation - acc/dam/rech
entropic- 10% chance 5% HP *assuming it's no good* apoc - 33% for moderate neg en
if I cant affoard apoc proc and entro sucks ill either go with a thunderstrike IO for the 2 piece recovery bonus or ill put a slot somewhere else if i can get something better with it. I have a good feeling with entro tho because im /elec so heals are never a bad idea. I wonder how much rech I need to get a FU-slash-focus-slash ST chain going... -

*blinks* You were Planetside? When? What server? Does the phrase "Remember Heyoka!" mean anything to you?
when they merged emerald and markov into gemini (i wasnt even around for the johari/konreid days) it was a pretty big clash of playstyles, west coast (markov) having more of a spammy thing going on since they were the CN (chinese network) home, east coast (emerald) having more of an unreal gameplay culture.
they not too long ago merged gemini with the euros on werner, not too long ago every gen got blown, people with packs of 12+ plasma grenades started appearing, and the game died. -
Quote:maybe, but the topic is about the validity of the proc, not the set as a whole, certainly not the set -proc.Originally Posted by Windenergy21
Um, there is nothing wrong with decimation, "quite a bit" using level 40s you get 62.73% accuracy, 89.17% damage, 43.43% end reduction, and 62.73% recharge.
You skip the buikld up proc, and slot a 50 t-strike in the 6th slot, turns into 62.73% accuracy, 96.93% damage (capped) 64.63% end reduction and 82.53% recharge. Seems pretty DARN good to me. -

Hope everyone had a very Happy New Year! -
the last time I remember a server merge was PlanetSide...
...it didnt end well -
well if i were to do a damage proc I'd probably save up for an apoc =P with the deci being as underwhelming as you all say it is, i guess I will either save the slot assuming I can get good acc/dam/rech with 5 slots, or maybe go for entro heal proc

its a good thing I clicked this because I totally forgot it lol.
