If doms are getting 1 primary and one secondary does that mean that doms are going to get illusion?

Do we get a new Powerset from our respective alternates?

(Brute/Stalker/Tanker/Scrapper)
(Def/Corr)
(Dom/Troller)

or is it more like we get a new powerset from a different AT? I've been asking this and no one wants to answer.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, only the red names know and there not talking. I would assume that melee ATs will be melee sets.

I do like pvp. If I'm not in the mood I stay away and when I am live, or die its still fun...

Now if I could get good at it.

Would it be fairly obvious to say that it ill be levels 50-55?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll go ahead and squash that one now. Level cap is NOT going up in I10!

[/ QUOTE ]

Good. I don't want more levels. I don't want an endless grind. I want more cool stuff to do and more power sets. POWER SETS!!

I don't see this as a problem. I'm shocked that folks would bring this up.

You want to make teaming a bad thing?

I think there is a "W shield" for helmets. I just tried it out and I think there is a bit of space between the shield and the helmet. That means you can "see" a bit of flesh. It makes it look less clean.

Should it look this way?

I'm surprised at some of the things you have on your list. Are you calling for nerfs...

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope not at all... was simply making the point that all of these things (usually in combination with eachother) would logically preceed or accompany Kinetics in order if Nerfs started being handed out again.

[/ QUOTE ]

IMO, you won't have to worry about KIN being nerfed if you don't talk about it. Once you get the discussion opened up, you may need to "be happy with what you get" or lose.

GF

Isn't Statesman's TF in I9 by Posi's words?

Between that and inventions, it could be a cool issue.

GF

Very helpful!!

If the hold will hold an lt its mag3. Lts have a res of 2 (minions 1 and bosses 3). They would not and should not give us a one shot boss hold.

It will need to be 6 slotted but its a good hold.

I for one have noticed a completely terrible change to my SS/EA brute. It seems I can no longer stand toe to toe with much of anything anymore without getting constantly ganked. On live, I was just fine and can take on +3 with no problem but now, it seems out of the question. I thought it was supposed to be "fixed", not get worse.

[/ QUOTE ]

I experienced the opposite. I have a very very tough time on live with +3s. On test I took on 9 (2 lts, 7 min) + 3 and killed 7 of them before I fell.

GF

Now I've only played 6 levels but I like the looks and damage of the set. It does remind me of DM. The sounds would be my only itme to change for ELM.

GF

IMO, LR should have a small heal regen added to it. +75 to 100% should work out perfect. It will not make the set uber but will make most brute pass on aid self.

I've thought about my experiences as a stone tank. The resist numbers should help as much as rock armor (agaunst whites). Stone has rooted. I feel putting the regen in a power that some might pass on (unlike putting it in one of the main shields) will balance the set.

GF

I can't believe that anyone would believe MG would not crit. Its far below ET and TF. The DOT has me worried. I'm concerned that it the DOT may stop a stalker from rehiding.

I ran a little bit with a elec/elec brute and what is with all the missing. Its like to the extreme of 5-6 even 7 attacks in a row were missing. I even put a level 2 acc enhance in each one of my attacks to see if that would help. Really no change. If this is a bugg it desperately needs to be fixed.

[/ QUOTE ]

I noticed this as well. I seemed to be missing a great deal more than normal. Does EM have an inherent Acc penalty?

[/ QUOTE ]

DM has some acc issues because it does two forms of damage or so I heard at one time. I wonder if ELM is having the same issue?

GF

The old CS from MA would have been great as well.

I think the AS is the same as MA and EM.

Cuppa's been trying, but she has yet to be able to convince the devs to throw us a bone.

IF we were to ever add a way to get Isolator post-Tutorial, it would most likely be incredibly hard to get. Annoyingly hard. Irritatingly hard. There-would-be-a-zillion-people-asking-to-make-it-easier hard.

But IF we were to add it, it would be available nonetheless.

[/ QUOTE ]

And I hope you never ever make it easier!!!

Yeah, stateman said 1% def was equal to 2% res, which is kind of true against whites (even con). + con it does not hold up but back to the passives discussion.

DF is 7.5% res which in their minds equals 3.8% def. Hmmm...Not so good, but that's because it doesn't stack with anything in the set.

They seem kind of "done" with stacking def. See the two sets EA and Nin (stalker), very little stacks within the set.

But I'm happy with the numbers and the cahnge to def seems to be a step in the right direction.

GF

A base of 16%!!!! very cool. My ice tank has a base of 17% (per stateman I believe) so I am very happy my brute has a base this high. I was concerned that it would be 12 or 13%.

This is excellent news. Thank you for taking the time to test it.

GF

Thanks for taking the time to post this.

Are we talking about PvP here or did you just try and solo Requiem at level 10?

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually it doesn't matter. Barring the situation of tackling stuff that is way beyond your level, getting one-shotted by anything is equivalent to the game randomly deciding it is time for you to die. Even getting 95% swatted isn't fun, since usually that other 5% has already been queued by another critter before you know what happened. And not being afforded an opportunity at all to respond isn't challenging in the sense that an adventure game is fun to play, it is challenging in the sense that draws people to Roulette or slot-machines.

So it really doesn't matter if what one-swatted you was a stalker, AV, nasty boss, or even a lucky minion. It sucks regardless of how it happens. Relying on random insta-death (from the dieing player's perspective) isn't challenging, it is a design crutch. It might have been fun back in the SNES days but this isn't Super Mario.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well said.

PVP requires no skill now if all a person has to do is make sure their victim has no perception powers/defense and one shot them. This becomes even easier when your victim is preoccupied with another opponent.

I dont mind getting 2 shotted. 2 shotted means I have a reasonable chance to heal, escape, retailiate. And I dont wanna be forced to play a more hearty, boring AT just bc there is a few ATs out there than have this 1 shotting advantage. Thats why I refuse to play blasters/stalkers. Hitting the "I win button" is pathetic. It requires no thought.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just wanted to say that it does take skill to play a stalker.

That is all.

Were any of the mobs held or slept? We have a 20% chance to crit on them if so, at least I think we do.

GF

Smash is great but AOE DOT corrupter love is ok!!!

I've seen 5 controllers on champion with it. So not many...

Burn and the fire set.
Burn needs to lose the fear. The changes make it much less used by Plers I'm sure, but what if I want to use it for IMM resistence? Please take away the fear and make teh IMM resistence last 45 sec (if it doesn't already). I would also add KB resistence to BA, FS, or PS. Which ever one, doesn't matter.

GF

Interesting...

I'd like to see WI give 10% defense (unenhanceable...ok I really misspelled that...sorry). That would help young tanks get to 18 without hating the set.

Love the idea of the debuff.

One last question, what is teh base defense for EA? I hate for it to lose its defensive abilities.
