I think Achilles does stack for each different entity?

The proc doesn't stack on itself at all

MA touched me

**shows on doll where MA touched him**

Indeed /Thermal will be top tier out of the box for PvE and PvP. I'm wondering how watered down the MM version will be though. My guesses is the shields and heals will be at 75% what we know. And Melt Armor will have the same numbers as the Tanker version.

Still a very decent set overall for MMs

Personally a waste of time IMO

Pets die so often and so fast I've lost count on each MM I own. You'll end up spending more time renaming pets than playing the game.

I say make room for both, but medicine over leadership. What's your current build look like?

Funny the two you scratch off your list for lol reasons are among the best in pvp.

Mercs excel in zone pvp, because of being ranged and controls. The lethal damage aspect that makes them seem lol worthy in PvE doesn't apply in pvp.

Ninjas hit hard and fast, pvp is about speed and dps. Can't go wrong w/ ninjas.

There is no real primary thats king in pvp for MMs, secondary matters a lot more.

now I know nobody has my account so I know I wasn't hacked. Also the roster showed none of my toons had been logged in. Been over a day since I logged so the last toon said "1 Day".

Anyone ever seen this before on their account?

Merc/Pain is a nice combo, I've got one at 50.

I'll echo like others about the Achilles proc on all your pets. Being mainly lethal damage, this proc helps a ton in later levels. They don't stack, but will be easy to keep perma with all your pets firing away.

Personally I'm against leadership on MMs unless it stacks with something you've already got. With WoP you got a damage boost, so assault will help a bit. Frakenslotted you can get it perm with other recharge bonuses.

It's not a steam roller mix, but its pretty safe in general. Just shoot and heal

I agree with Grounded having Regen added to it, Maybe add an +HP too.

[/ QUOTE ]

And let us slot heals into the power that affects regen and HP. This alone would do a ton for the set as a whole. Some w/ a devs ear needs to get their attention on this.

the Avatar is there because I like it

[/ QUOTE ]
You may not care but I have your avatar adblocked too. FYI.

Avatars with excessive movement or flashing make the forums too hard to read so I have to block them.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's fine, I'm not offended in the least bit. It's a matter of preference, and if flash avatars prevent your from reading by all means block away.

What I was annoyed with was The_Alt_oholic rude comment to my avatar. Acting as if I put it there just to irritate people, which is untrue.

First off, your Avatar is extremely irritating.
Maybe that's the point.
It is so annoying that I had to cover it up in order to read your post. I won't be doing this again if I come across this same Avatar again.


[/ QUOTE ]

Mozilla add on - "Adblock Plus." Right click image, add to filter - no more avatar. Something similar probably exists for IE. Far more fine-grained than the built in "block entire site." You can block a specific image, specific directory (which would be the specific user in this case, as well,) etc.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have a few webpages blocked because their backgrounds flash roughly 20 colors a second. Thanks for pointing this out Bill.

Edit: For the record, the Avatar is there because I like it. I will change it when I find another avatar I like. It's not there to affect or annoy anyone.

Seriously though playing a tanker really is more like playing a mastermind. Doing things here and there to help your team(pets) alive and killing the target. For those tankerminds, keeping aggro on yourself because you can take more damage than your pets(team).

Brutes play more like pissed off crazy "hulk" type. "Me mad, me hit harder, you hit me, me hit harder."

Scrappers play more like precise fighters. "Did I cut your leg, oh my mistake is that your aorta bleeding out?"

Regardless of where ATs land after GR, none are the same at its core. If that were the intention, we'd only have one AT.

Well a comment like this annoyed me, so I didn't read the rest of your post. Have a nice day

Avatea:
It has been brought to our attention that some of our players have been sharing their game accounts with others (by this we mean sharing the license to access the game servers for City of Heroes and/or City of Villains) and that those being shared with (not the account holders), are breaking rules or exploiting certain aspects of the game, resulting in account suspension.

We would like to remind you that not only is license sharing in direct violation of our User Agreement (see article 3 of the City of Heroes User Agreement and City of Villains User Agreement), but it also means that, should your account be suspended as a result of the actions of the person you have lent your account to, we will not be able to lift the suspension or any other sanction applied to your account as a consequence of the loan.

You are all aware of the limitations imposed by the User Agreement. However, we wanted to give you all a chance to realize that an act of generosity or a simple account loan could have dire consequences! Please protect yourself and DO NOT share your game account with anyone!

[/ QUOTE ]

A question, how do you define sharing? Is it against the rules for a father and son to use one account? Is it against the rules for a husband to log his wife's toon to help transfer money or invite to an sg?

Nothing wrong with Mercs, I've solo'd AVs with my Merc/Pain. Its mostly personal taste.

Rule of thumb is to slot Achilles Heel -Res into all you pets. The bonus doesn't stack but with all your pets attacking you can keep a -20% resist on everything.

Synergy with secondary matters a lot with merc. I've found they go best with storm and pain, season to taste on that one.

[ QUOTE ]
I see the powerset proliferation as a move to make each AT less unique.

[/ QUOTE ]

How? Tanks still tank best, blasters still blast the best. Proliferation gives us options, people like options. If you don't want to play a proliferated power, just don't.

Then logic plays into the question.

Will it affect AE missions? No idea, no Dev has spoken on the matter, but we'll find out Friday morning.

Is AE only used for farming? No idea, I don't know everybody who plays the game on every server. Normally I'm too busy playing the game myself.

And to clarify since it was lost in translation yet again.

Q. Is farming against the rules?

A. No farming has been around for a long time. It is merely frowned upon by some as people not really playing the game.

Q. Is abusing exploits against the rules?

A. Yes and the devs will fix said exploits and its nothing new that they shut down accounts for exploits abuse.


People have been abusing exploits to create farms with high xp and low risk. Example of why the Mitos or layman "Bubble Farms" were recently popped.

Regardless of if 2xp affects AE, people will still be farming somewhere for max results.

Yea /elec ported over in is current state with scrappers lower caps and lower hp. Meh who knows, now that its blueside, it might be rebalanced.

I hope Aion is in better shape UI wise .

[/ QUOTE ]

Sadly no, CoX UI is a lot better then what AION currently has right now. Granted AION is still in beta and who knows what it may look like during the next beta event. Even worse you can't flip your mouse, its opposite CoXs setup and can't be changed.

[/ QUOTE ] Everything can be changed, even if you have to use a third party keychanger program to do it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Indeed it can be changed, I remember the way CoX UI was when I started back in Oct 04'. I absolutely enjoy the advances in real numbers and optional power trays. Who knows what AION will like when it is released or even 5 years later.

But on the subject of viewing your team mates pets. I believe this should be made an option in the game. I personally would never turn it on myself. But as long as there is an option for off and on I don't see the harm.

Remember though some people are playing on 27" screens and some are only on 15" screens. Would be hell on some if it were forced on us w/o an option to shut off.

most epic powers life the confuse bubble ot stun feilds are only good if u have another atk or feild that dose the same

[/ QUOTE ]

Wrong, its also great for stacking with other sources of mez when on teams. Example the fear mag is low on Dark Armors Cloak of Fear. But when stacked with things like Spectral Terror, it adds up nicely.

OG only doesn't stack with OG, it stacks fine with other stun powers.

[/ QUOTE ]

ok sorry i didnt leave room for you to figer it out on thier own that 2 ppl with holds..confuse wouold have this same effect

god forbid some1 made dou toons that they planed on playing to gether cuz thier powers matched. /em sarcasim

[/ QUOTE ]

Masterminds do not have access to a confuse power, Jounin "Blinding Powder" doesn't count. You cannot control when and where the pet will use this power.

Me? Figure out what? If it wasn't for the fact I've worked with people ill in their head. I'd never would have been able to decipher what the hell you were trying to say.

Finally, do you grasp everything I just said? Do not be smug toward anyone if you have a hard time even speaking.
