If a Tanker attacks with a 95% hit chance and misses with another enemy in Gauntlet range, the streak breaker will force Gauntlet to hit the next target since you're only allowed 1 miss per 95% chance streak. This renders the streak breaker useless, and it's a situation that Tankers often find themselves in.

The numbers are difficult to conceptualize in any form of tangible debuff... I guess you could say it this way: For two consecutive attacks with 95% chance to hit, if the first one misses, most characters will have had a 95% + 100% hit chance. Tankers on the other hand, with another foe in Gauntlet range, have 95% + 95% hit chance. That means 5% chance to miss (1 out of 20) for both attacks, which comes out to 1 out of 400 to miss both.

While the difference is negligible, it's nonetheless there. When there's more than one enemy around, Tankers suffer a roughly 0.25% chance of missing twice in a row even with a hard capped hit chance. Most characters have a 0% chance of missing twice in a row.

Sooo, I dunno. I guess you could call it an average quarter-of-a-percent damage debuff in the long run. So take your Tanker's DPS and multiply it by 0.9975... Not a big deal.

Wikipedia may or may not be your friend.

Powers have a property indicating the targets that can be auto-hit in the abstract area before the power's individual effects are taken into account. This is the element that factors into the streak breaker, to my understanding, and the effects with hit rolls are merely subsequent if the power itself happens to land.

However, the purpose of this test is to see if those individual effect hit rolls affect the streak breaker, since I can't see any other way for Aliana Blue to have been able to take those screenshots.


Waiiiit a second... Doesn't this require you to have an active game account? \o/

This is true, I hadn't considered that either. If you look at a Tanker's attack information by the numbers, it clearly marks the Effect Area as an AoE, not single-target.

There's a pretty simple way to test this: try to get a double-miss against individual targets when no other targets are around. Not sure where you'd find something sturdy enough for that, though.

This is incorrect. Auto-hit powers do not factor into the streak breaker algorithm; neither for nor against. They will not reset the counter.

Yeah, Krylov pits you against The Facemaker, and she's nastier than the good doctor himself in battle.

There are two incompatible objectives interfering with each other. One of them makes the other impossible to complete, which means no badge.

Correct. A "miss streak" is any string of consecutive misses, and the number of possible consecutive misses is determined based on the lowest chance to hit of all attempts in the streak.

I'd assumed the images depicted entire miss streaks, with the first powers in both (Energy Transfer in the first, then Total Focus in the second) being the first misses. But if they weren't, and the user missed with an attack with < 60% hit chance (like a Vet attack - enemy Defense) before the miss streaks documented in the images, it's certainly possible to miss with three consecutive 95% chance attacks.

So would doing it under 10 minutes.

Like Nintendo. They out-donated Nintendo.

All tier-1 Tanker secondary powers say they'll Bruise the target.

You can view the details for Bruising in-game by typing [Bruised] in the chat window.

Any time you Bruise a target, it will show those four little orange "resist down" graphical effects, so you know it works.

Fixed that for you. As a good Mastermind, I all too often shake my head at other Masterminds. )-:

Well, you ARE talking to Golden Girl...

Quit taking Hasten for a change. Problem solved. (-:

Joke's on you, I guess. It's not a level 50 Task Force. With the exception of not having to lose all your abilities just to play it, there's virtually no positive aspect to it at all.

And when you beat it?

"That's it. It's done. Great work, Task Force Name. You saved the day and who knows how much more."

Thanks, Quarterfield. Way to wrap it up. I really feel great for helping you out with this.

We actually had one of those once. It was a player-run event. But then we found that we couldn't legally use the word "Olympics" and still have it supported by NCsoft, and things fell apart after that.
