Quote:So, are you saying that if bugs aren't fixed within a certain time frame that you feel is acceptable, that it shouldn't be fixed at all?Originally Posted by Supermax
It's actually not that uncommon. The idea is basically that if they were perfectly fine with it being broken for a whole 2 years, why do they suddenly fix it now? Fixing bugs is great, but it only makes sense if you actually take it seriously. Fixing one random bug out of a hundred really serves no purpose other than to annoy the people that the fix affects directly. I think that if they routinely fixed PvP bugs, nobody would complain about this issue. But the way this looks, it's like their only goal was to make yet another set worthless in PvP. -
Quote:Learned a few things. Thanks for making it clearer.Originally Posted by Arcanaville
All critters LT and higher have some intrinsic resistance to tohit debuffs based on their rank: Lts have 10% resistance to tohit debuffs for example, while bosses and elite bosses have 20% and archvillains have 30%. This is intrinsic to the rank definition and has nothing to do with any powers the critter might have.
Elite Bosses specifically have 25% resistance to endurance drain and Archvillains have 50% resistance to endurance drain intrinsically - meaning all EBs and all AVs. Neither have intrinsic resistance to recovery debuffs. Again, this is intrinsic to the rank definitions and has nothing to do with any power the critter might have.
None of the standard critter ranks have intrinsic resistance to defense debuffs, knockback, or recharge.
Its literally impossible for anyone to have special resistance to resistance debuffs: the only way to have that is to have resistance to the damage type. 25% smashing resistance will also automatically be 25% resistance to smashing resistance debuffs. There is no other way to resist resistance debuffs.
AVs *usually* get special resistances in their special resistance power, but that's at the will of the critter designer. By default, AVs tend to resist endurance drain, recovery debuffs, defense debuff, regeneration debuffs, recharge debuffs, knock effects, and perception debuffs, and this resistance scales upward with level.
And to reiterate, AVs do not have special resistances against resistance debuffs. To put it another way, anything that was made immune to resistance debuffs would be immune to damage also. The game engine makes no distinction between the two. -
Quote:Anything Elite Boss and up, other blast sets lose effectiveness of their secondary effects. The -Res from Sonic will do less on an AV than it will a minion, lieutenant, or boss. The same goes for the -Tohit of Dark, -Def of Rad, Knockback of Energy, -Recharge of Psi, -SPD and -Recharge of Ice.Originally Posted by Trick
There was something I noticed a while back, and something that I was reminded of today, therefore I decided to make a post about it. Electric Blast has less damage than other Blaster powersets? Why? The Endurance Drain.
The Endurance Drain is a problem because on the enemies it would matter on, it does absolutely nothing. They can still attack perfectly fine, making it so that Electric Blasters forfeit their damage for nothing. This doesn't mean it's not good. It works well on minions, lieutenants, and alright on bosses. Once you get to Elite Bosses and up, it loses it's effectiveness. So, do you think I have a valid point, and that the Electric Blast damage reduction is unfair for what the Endurance Drain is supposed to make up for? -
Illusion/Dark sounds really cool. I might give it a try.

Defenders can get melee powers through Epic powersets; Thunderstrike, Total Focus.

This is the build I use for my Ele/SD.
Softcapped to all positions. Good recharge. Good end recovery.

Quote:I believe there are some melee psychic attacks in-game that have a smashing component.Originally Posted by DreadShinobi
There are no attacks that deal both psychic damage and lethal damage. Softcapping Lethal defense won't help you deal with psy damage.

Quote:Ok. Makes more sense now. Thanks.Originally Posted by BellaStrega
I suggest reading everything Prometheus has to say on the subject of the Well and Emperor Cole. It's clear there's only one (human) Well and the point of the Praetorian trials is to attract the Well's attention and prove your worthiness as the Well's champion(s) over Tyrant.
-
Quote:I thought the Wells' were alternate versions of each other, not the exact same one shared by two universes. Theoretically, we could drink from the well of each universe and become double Incarnate.?Originally Posted by BellaStrega
I believe the Praetorians have the same Well Primal Earth does. Prometheus' stated intent is to attack Cole and the Praetorians so that the Well will choose the players instead of Cole as its champion.

Quote:I purchased the proc today and slotted it Jab. After doing some testing, I seem to be able to keep it double stacked without any problem. Triple on occasion.Originally Posted by Ukaserex
I originally wanted to put the proc in blazing aura, but it won't go there. The Tier 1 attack seems like the best place to put it, because of bruising, it's a standard part of the attack chain. I typically see my fire/stone tanks resist numbers cap with no extra effort.
-
Quote:This is the build I use for my fire/kin. It's "softcapped" to S/L. Maybe it can give you some ideas on how you want to proceed with yours.Originally Posted by adam41476
So what would you slot into the powers you've selected?
I have no clue about slotting things really.
If it's purple I trust it's best, but I know that's not correct. I also know that things are overlapping that shouldn't.
When people are talking about S/L caps and things - means nothing to me at all. Or % of things. I dont' really understand. I just wanna get the best out of each set that I can.
Thanks!

Quote:Smash and Lethal damage are the two most common damage types in the game. Also, many attacks in the game that do energy or elemental damage tend to have a S/L damage component, so having S/L defense will protect you from these attacks as well.Originally Posted by adam41476
So what would you slot into the powers you've selected?
I have no clue about slotting things really. If it's purple I trust it's best, but I know that's not correct. I also know that things are overlapping that shouldn't.
When people are talking about S/L caps and things - means nothing to me at all. Or % of things. I dont' really understand. I just wanna get the best out of each set that I can.
Thanks!
I'm not familiar with the exact mathematical numbers, but the way it works is that the higher percentage of defense you have, the less chance mobs have of hitting you in the first place. Once you hit 45% defense, anything over that doesn't lower your chance of getting hit. This is what people are referring to when they say "softcap".
Many people use the set bonuses from IO sets to increase S/L defense. As a controller, you also have access to Rock Armor and Ice Armor, both providing significant S/L defense. Combining your epic armor and IO sets will get you to the softcap. -

Ok so swapping out the T1 on SS Tanks is no good. My SS Brutes however...Thanks for the tips

Quote:I assumed that's what the Incarnate system was partly about.Originally Posted by RevolverMike
I was actually thinking about this the other night, but didnt the devs want to give us a couple extra enhancement slots? If I remember correctly they wanted to give us 3 slots in place of a couple levels that normally only gives us 2 but it broke the game. Wouldn't adding a few levels allow them to give us those slots they wanted to give us?
I'm not saying increase us to 70 or 100. I'm talking about being at lvl 53 or 55.
I'm all for having at least 1 extra power on all my toons and an extra 6 slots. Doubt one more 5 or 6 slot bonus would overpower us. Than again I havent fully thought out every aspect. -

I was thinking about slotting this into Foot Stomp in my Inv/SS Tank. From my perspective, it doesn't seem worth it though. If anyone has experience with this proc and would be willing to share their results, I'd appreciate it.

Quote:Idk about anyone else, but I think this is awesome! I've been hoping for a solo option for the Incarnate path.Originally Posted by Eva Destruction
Yes, that is why we are getting a solo path; for people who want to progress their 50s and don't want to farm the trials. -
Quote:I've had this build for a little while. Using Divine Avalanche, your softcapped to Melee.Originally Posted by Zwillinger
Alright, so I'm ready to fully deck out my Kat/Reg Scrapper. I've decided that this is going to be my Dark Astoria character, and I want it to be IO'd out when we launch Issue 22.
So here's the dealio. I am going to blatantly abuse my position and offer a Rula Shen costume code to the creator of whichever build I choose:
Post your mids builds here for Katana/Regen, assume that it only has access to the EPP's, no PPP's.
Let's make the deadline Friday, 2/24/12 at 5 PM Pacific. I'll announce on Monday which build I've chosen and we'll go from there. Post your builds below, along with a brief explanation as to why your build is the best and I'll weigh each option carefully!
PS: If this turns out to be a fun exercise, we'll see if we can do this on a regular basis and maybe have Synapse or Arbiter Hawk judge it.
Now run my minions! Make me a build! Muuuuahahahahahahahaha!
You didn't mention financial limits, so I slotted 3 purple sets. With recharge bonuses and Spiritual Total Radial Revamp as your Alpha slot, you have Perma Hasten.
I chose Barrier as your Destiny slot. The idea I had in mind was along with the builds high recharge rate, you would always have Barrier, Instant Healing, or Moment of Glory up to use.
For your Interface slot, I picked Diamagnetic Total Core Conversion. This way, your applying a 100% chance to Debuff your enemies To Hit, thus increasing your survivability.
Judgement slot, I chose Pyronic thematically to go with Blaze Mastery.
Idk if you have accolades on your toon, I put them in. Here's the build....

Quote:Only a few Brute/Scrapper combos are capable of soloing AV's as well. It's not a very common practice in-game, no matter how much we hear about it in forum or youtube videos you see.Originally Posted by Johnny_Butane
-A few combos of Tankers can solo a few of the weaker AVs with IOs and Bruising.
-Incarnate Tankers can solo more of the AVs and even a few GMs, if you consider throwing your lore pets at it "soloing".
My inv/ss tank was capable of soloing a few of the "weaker" AV's pre-incarnate. When bruising was introduced, my list of AV defeats increased. Once Incarnate powers were introduced, the only AV's I can't solo are guys like Malaise who do Psychic damage, and Statesman. He a Dull Pain/Unstoppable hell that I can't overcome.
Muscular Alpha + Reactive Interface + Double Stacked Rage + IO Damage bonuses + Procs = wonders to your damage output. -
Quote:This is something I've been thinking about for a while that might end up happening.Originally Posted by Iannis
Course this might just lead up to Lord Recluse and Emperor Cole fighting it out, so the two Incarnates have their evil empires bashing each other while the heroes aid the rebels.

I have a lvl 50 ax/wp brute that's been shelved for about 3 years now. I haven't really played him since I hit 50. He has a few sets slotted, but until now I've never reallly sat down to plan anything out in Mid's. This is what I came up with so far. I got him softcapped to S/L, but E/NE is only around 34%. I'd really like to get it to 45% as well, but this is the best I've been able to come up with so far. Hoping someone can take a look and offer some advice. I'm open to different power choices/slotting btw.

They did not have scrappers. Now they also miss tankers.
Statesman: tanker
Citadel: blaster
Manticore: defender
Numina: controller
Positron: defender
Sister Psiche: controller
Sypanse: blaster
Not an actual member, but usually depicted like that:
[Back Alley Brawler: tanker]
Ms. Liberty: ma/inv "scrapper" -
