Quote:I enjoyed rift and would still be playing if I had time to raid but my schedule now just makes it hard to play. If you can not raid you can not get the good gear so their is no point in playing. You really need to raid two times a week and also run some of the 10 man raids when you can to gear up. You can gear up to a degree running 5 mans on armor but you miss out on the weapons you needOriginally Posted by savagedeacon_NA
Trion has already enough problems with its own Rift to risk with someone else game:

to go free to play is never a good sign -
Basically NCSoft is the group of liars we thought they where. Integrity my **** the company has previous trust question due to how they handle their business. Funny how people did not trust NCSoft statement and it is confirmed once again NCSoft is once again lying for PR reason which now no one will trust anything they say now it has leaked out.
Way to go NCSoft just undermine yourself further, just another reason to avoid any project that has your name attached.
Like I said have fun going bankrupt NCSoft -

There're a few possibilities for MMOs.
- I tried out Rift for a while I was on a break from City of Heroes and that was sort of decent enough.
- Couple of people left CoH for The Secret War a while back and while I'm not sure my computer can handle it, I was interested in it during development and it seems like a good alternative.
- I could always settle for second best and try Champions Online or DC Universe Online, the other two superhero MMOs which failed to take the crown from City of Heroes.
- Or just settle back to single-player games and multiplayer action games like Team Fortress 2.
Though I think it'll have to be another MMO. Other types of games either don't leave me with any significant sense of growth/progress or I don't get any sense of community or effective social interaction. -

Where do we go now???
As simple as this game was it was also the most complicated because of all the formulas of to hit vs acc vs debuff versus debuff resistance. regen etc.
Coming up with IO builds great stuff -
OK here was my build it was updated two things have changed you have a free slot to play with PVP IO etc or modify it if you have rebirth and do not need the heal but you want a heal to fight AV's.
The change I made right when I got back was I switched out the Touch of death I had in Fire Sword and put the scrapper aito into GFS and moved the Mako set from GFS to firesword. OH and I no longer have 3 slotted HO's for DDR which is why I have a free slot that was nerfed and no longer works.
That is basically what I ran per-incarnates other wise

I will post my pre Incarnate build I used for +4x8 and AV's I took out about 10+ AV's solo including Inferno who has a 50% fire Resistance.
I had aid self back then if you have rebirth then you probably do not need aidself.
I took out a pylon with about 230dps I was in the list all this was per-incarnate
Have to wait until I get home so it will be later tonight -
Ok I just came back this last month so I am slow catching up on all the changes after being gone over a year.
I was not able to test BIO read quite a bit have the rough numbers and stuff from Mids. I want to pair up DM with either WP or BIO (replacing my dm/da and dm/sr I made way back in the pre IO days).
They both have taunt auras which is a must for me now days.
Things that are similar
Layered approach
S/L Resistance
Regen
Non crashing T9's
Endurance Management is easy
PSI is not a hole
WP Pluses
Steady Regen #'s set and forget
Skip able powers in Resurg and SOW(not that I would skip SOW)
Defense debuff resistance (not that it helps much being so small)
-tohit
Cons
Big Burst damage hurts
No heal
Taunt aura is weak compared to most
Bio
Regen can hit numbers similar or more than WP
Self Heal
Damage Aura
Flexibility in switching between more survival vs more damage etc
-regen (hey helps on those pesky AV's)
Cons
Take all powers and can needs lots of slots
Clicky set almost a cross between regen & DA
-tohit can really hurt
No defensive debuff resistance
Am I missing anything and what was people impression in Beta of BIO
Thank You -
Have two /sr scrappers from back in the day back when perma elude rocked
Anyways most the reason where listed why to take it but it still has a psi hole and no heal to help and on scrappers no taunt aura fun.
The old advantage of a click mezz protection is gone
Fun set but now days I skip it in favor of other sets -
Well no attack vitals for me I hate vengeful slice with a passion.
The animation just annoys me for some reason. I will test out some stuff here soon I am at 49 and need 4 more purples still for sweeping strike -
Thank you for the info
Gerr not sure I can get that recharge without messing up the survivability of the build that I am building.
Oh well time to relook at the build again -
The question is how much recharge do I need on my DB/EA for the BF>AS>SS>AS attack chain.
-
Remember with I24 you want lunge and Barbswipe over impale for ST dps

My mian is still my kat/SR and i put wlude back for DA content with destiny it works rather well.

No, actually, I never went for the perma-unstoppable trick. Way too nerve-wracking. I just had Invincibility six slotted, 4 defense, 2 end reduction.
That was literally all you needed for anything less than +8's.
Ahhhh, glorious.....

Quote:Yes you had 5 slotted damage and perma unstoppableOriginally Posted by mauk2
One of my first three toons was a bs/inv. OMG, that toon was a MONSTER back in those days. Players now have no idea.
I deleted it after the third round of invuln and scrapper nerfs, and have never regretted it. -
Quote:I just came back hear after a year away so i am not sure about the gm spot but with all the new incrante I am sure you can. On the AV front I know shield can hell i did about 10-12 different ones with my fire/shield (have aidself in the build) before incarnates and took down inferno even with 50% fire resistance.Originally Posted by Jdagon
I have wanted to make an AV/GM/TF solo-er for quite some time now, the problem that i run into is that after i start to think about it its far far easier for a ranged character to solo an AV or GM than other characters, but honestly I just don't have anywhere near as much fun playing a ranged character as I do playing a Melee character. That leaves Brutes, Stalkers, Scrappers, and Tanks. Of those Tanks seem almost completely out of the question as their dps, while it can be made into something very effective, really doesn't match up to the other AT's. Stalkers would probably be a really good bet, but I have no desire to run around hidden all the time, and I just don't enjoy playing Stalkers. That leaves Brutes or Scrappers. With the new AT sets that have come out and Scrappers having a higher crit percentage I think that it would be easier to do this with a scrapper. I do already have a concept in mind and a name on the server saved, and that concept revolves around Street Justice as my primary, however I am uncertain as to what would be the best secondary... Of the scrapper secondaries the easiest ones to work into my concept would be Super Reflexes, Invulnerability, Willpower, and Energy Aura. Dark Armor, Fire Armor, Electric Armor, and Regen would be more of a stretch but I could work them into it if that was the way that it needed to happen... I would like to be able to solo almost all of the games big bosses (excluding those in incarnate trials obviously) as AV's. I have around 4 billion influence to work with now, but making more isn't really an issue. I would prefer not to have to try for PVP IO's however.... I asked on server in the help channel but got mixed responses so I thought it would be best to come here.
I also did it with my dm/sr
Some Katana/wp have done ridiculous stupid things (well Iggy roxor did) yea he ran a master mode ITF solo all before incarnates.
All four sets built right can solo AV's Super Reflexes, Invulnerability, Willpower, and Energy Aura. No one set can do them all Willpower has the best overall ability to survive more types of Av's because of it's layered survivability. EA has a heal makes life easier, Inv has Dull Pain which can act as a heal and a regen buff. The other three outside WP have big psi holes after playing sets with taut auras I say look at WP. Inv and EA if you go scrapper.
You could wait and see what Bio armor finished looks like since it will have -regen always nice to have with AV's -
Quote:Regen scrappers rely on a lot of rechargeOriginally Posted by Kangstor
Well i don't see why a katana scrapper needs recharge alpha but than again maybe a clicke heavy secondary requires it. I personally uses muscularate anyway.

Quote:Looks like their will be a floor and they are no longer going to punish you for global recharge (alphas still do)Originally Posted by Kangstor
Simple solution since 2nd ATO's probably will released with i24 (or shortly after it) I will be putting second set in GC anyway for critical chance proc and moving achielle along with hecatomb set into soaring dragon. Still have similiar -res proc chance but now i get +critical chance with my top attack chain being gc-gd-gc-sd so it is a win-win situation.
So it will be a slight nerf to some but not as bad as the initial one they where looking to implement. Just adds another headache to building out my toons. Now I have to look at my db/ea I am working on -
Quote:Then as soon as you add an alpha recharge in their you get screwed over again. I am Hoping they implement a cap on how much of a hit you take by making a minimum base line. he talked about it at one time I have not followed it since the change.Originally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
Well the Attuned version of Achilles is 3PPM so in I24 it should get 3.75PPM while the current crafted Achilles Heel has a 20% chance to proc.
Now working backwards at 3.75PPM Achilles will have a 20% chance to proc when the recharge time of Gambler's Cut is 2.53 seconds (ignoring global recharge). That works out to 18.5% Recharge Enhancement.
So yeah unless you aren't slotting any recharge in Gambler's Cut itself it's a bit of a nerf but not a major one. Even at 95% recharge enhancement you'll still have a 13.8% chance to proc.
Over all it will be a nerf to several sets -
Ok as I work on my 8th level 50 DB/EA this one is to replace my Fire/SD as my main.
Anyways is overload worth taking or should I skip it for something else. My build will be soft capped with out Energy Cloak on every thing but energy and psi. With Energy cloak it will be 50% to most things except the two listed above. Yes it only has 50% ddr but t does have a heal to help out.
Just lookign for people that have played EA and what they think of it -
Quote:This is totally Hypothetical I am guessing on what they are going to do with the attacks in spines and going of base damage only (from mids no enhancement)Originally Posted by BrandX
Impale > Ripper > Throw Spines > Repeat with Quills running is already really good ST DPS.
So the question is, will these changes to Lunge and Barb Swipe mean even better ST DPS or not. Also, will it beable to be achieved as easily as the previously mentioned chain is.
If barb gets the .83 (they said sub 1s so this makes sense) to put it in line with the other tier 1 attacks like MA, DM, etc it will have a 57.18 dps
If lunge gets changes I expect which would be Cobra strike/crane kick numbers it will have like a 73dps (The MA attacks are very close in activation times and they said everything increased makes the most logical sense based of that statement)
Impale unchanged is 49.13dps and throw spines is 49.70 and ripper is 63.38
So if all the rest stays unchanged the new attack chain will feature Barb, Lunge and Ripper I have not worked out an optimal chain not really my forte maybe one of the dps experts will chime in on my hypothetical changes. My best eyeball guess looks something like this lunge>Barb>Ripper>Barb>lunge or something along that lines wanting lunge and ripper up as often as possible -
Quote:This is just a guess but if they make the changes i think they are to Barb Swiped and Lunge Impale would become a dps loss to use in any change unless they shorten the animation time on impale as well.Originally Posted by BrandX

I will need to go back and look at the spread sheet to see which attacks had the highest DPS and try and figure out the best chain (not my specialty) -
remember in I24 spines is getting a st buff and you are going to want Barb swipe and Lunge will also get a buff

Scrapper stealth has never suppressed auras of any type. Unless they added it for Scrapper sin EA then that would have been new.
That is something for stalkers not scrappers -
Oh great idea that is why I no longer play my spines/da, dm/da, katana/sr db/elec or dm/sr
After playing shields and having a taunt aura everything else with out one is just frustration to play. In fact since I came back this past few weeks I started my new project this week a DB/EA and guess what taunt aura and it is so much more enjoyable leveling than db/elec. I guess I am lucky I never got into Inv early in my COH playing days.
yes four of those scrappers where leveled to 50 before IO's
