I was pointing out that a set's taunt aura and a set's ability to grab and hold aggro are not the same thing; something people who are debating WP's pros and cons often forget.

Except, you did that by bringing in the secondary. So, it was no longer a discussion of just WP/ versus just Invuln/. An Ice/Fire is going to be better at holding aggro than an Ice/EM. Therefore, by bringing in complicating factors, you've changed the discussion away from the faults of WP to faults of a certain combination of primary and secondary powers.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think it's safe to assume that all tankers will have a secondary.

I agree.

A lot of the problem is the lump between the seat and the moniter.

Well, it depends.

Is it really 90 PERCENT less effective, or just 12 seconds?

I mean, if Invulns taunt aura lasted 40 seconds, then WPs would last 28 seconds.

Not 90% anymore, but still 12 seconds less.

Who's to say if it's supposed to be a percentile integer or a numerical one?

Edit: And because willpower's effectiveness is unchanged depending on the set you compare it against since not all taunt auras are created equal, it's obviously not simply "90%"

[/ QUOTE ]

1. Who tanks entirely on their aura? Holding aggro is a function of not only your aura, but the Taunt power itself, directly attacking and causing foes damage and the radial effect of gauntlet. Your aura is but one of four means of grabbing aggro, and it's not even the most potent way on any set.

2. Castle has stated that RttC's lower taunt is intentional, but I strongly suspect that's NOT because it's being used as a balance point. "No Martha, don't take the will power Tanker, he's got a lower taunt aura mag..."

Yeah. I don't see that conversation happening.

No, it's more likely a by-prouct of the set being shared by the other ATs and the devs wanting to keep the conversion minimal as well as how often the power ticks for regen.

I've no idea where you got what you said, out of what I said.

Here. Taunt effectiveness is 1000*taunt duration


[ QUOTE ]

So what does it have an effect on then?

[/ QUOTE ]

If you can find this answer, let me know. Nothing as far as the knowledge we have tells us.

[ QUOTE ]
Yes seriously.

If I was taking about effectiveness I would have said that RttC is 1/4 less effective than Invincibility because that has a Mag of 4, and RttC has a Mag of 3.

[/ QUOTE ]

Except taunt mag has almost no effect on the effectiveness of taunt.

[ QUOTE ]
I never said it was 90% less effective? I said it was over 90% less

Seriously?

Well, it depends.

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAINS

How did this thread avoid FOUR YEARS of purging?

Also...how the hell did it end up on the first page to get posted on? This should be hundreds of pages back.




BRAAAAAAAAAAINS

You've got to make the folders and add the "silence" file to the right folder for it to work. All the files are invisible.

Right now, my folders look like data/sound/ogg/V_Powers

and inside that is psionicmindprobe2.ogg, which is my silence file.

Silences it right up, but there's only 1 actual file there for me.

Thank you so much :-D

But if you wanted Weave to softcap the rest of your defenses, it really is a moot point.

[ QUOTE ]

At least one of the passives MUST remain +res so that we can slot the Steadfast +def IO.

Second, energy cloak is useful. Both as a defensive and utility power.

As for the Energy Drain idea, I wouldn't object to that, but I would prefer the drain add +regen, +health or something different that EA needs more.

[/ QUOTE ]

They could ALL be defense based...it would just require tough if you wanted to slot the steadfast IO, it's currently what SR scrappers have to do now. Besides, tough leads to Weave, and you don't even have to use/slot tough with anything except a steadfast.

<QR>

Mind...Probe....please...

<QR>

I love this set to death...I really do, and with a massive amount of IO investment, it's DECENT, even though it can't cap it's own energy defense or has endurance drain resistance, not only that, but /SR is being added...

But I hate to say it:

lolEA

=/

Thanks for all the feedback guys...if I can get some time, I'll work with their costumes a bit!

Nice to see some of my costumes get a little approval :-P
