I want to see this, but I'll wait until it comes out on iTunes. I don't think anything short of a Superman, Justice League, or Star Trek film could make me go to a movie theater again.
I really wish cell phone jammers were legal. -

@ oracle i am aware that all powers have pros and cons,but out of the sets i mentioned i wanted to know what sets offered the best dam and def.and as far as your input it was a help bcuz you gave your insight on certain builds and powers.and i have been advised by alot of pple in game that the fighting pool is a must for melee guys,but i rolld 2 builds last night and both are fun as far as end game content what build is able to deal with it better elec armor/stone melee or fire aura/dark?
Fighting pool is not a must have, but it helps.
What set thematically do you want to play? When you figure out what you want to look like and what powers you want to use, then post that decision.
I dont like my fire armor/ice melee tank for end game content. But, I rarely use any tank for end game content anymore.
Tanks
fire/ice
ice/stone
stone/fire
shield/fire
and invuln/mace (almost there...)
Brutes
Kinetic/energy (most fun, but wish it was a scrapper)
SS/Shield
SS/Willpower
Scrappers
Spines/invuln
Fire/Willpower
Broadsword/Regen
The most fun for me in endgame melee wise is the kinetic melee/energy brute. I do wish it was a scrapper though and I hate Power Siphon.
So, figure out what you want to play.
Tanks are posted armor/melee. Brutes and Scrappers are posted melee/armor. When in doubt, spell out the sets... -

If recent examples are any measure, there won't be a mez hole regardless of thematic appropriateness. Complaints during beta will plug them (see: Willpower) or they'll just deliberately plug them all to preempt the complaints (see: Shield).
That's why I find it so funny that there's all this discussion about what holes should or shouldn't be there - people will complain until the holes are plugged regardless, even though the same hasn't happened with the older sets. -
can you add in on costumes a selection for each of the costume sets that is purchasable?

what is the cool down for mission tp power?

Quote:What many fire armor people have been asking for for years for RotP.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
It's not a self-destruct per se.
It's looking to be a unique power that's part nuke, part self-rez.
If you use it while you're alive, it's a "regular" nuke.
If you die and then trigger it, think Rise of the Phoenix. Except with a mushroom cloud.
As I said, this looks to be totally unique to non-Incarnate powers. It's not just a limited use power that only works if you fail. But a power that can be a regular part of your attack sequence. -
I look forward to the new set. I, amongst many, have been wanting a radiation armor set for years.
I hope for some defense/to hit debuffs and some resistance/-damage powers. But since kinetic melee didnt come close to the other kinetic set I am not very hopeful that rad would be similar to the existing rad set. -
Many have wanted rad armor for several years. any links to what was said?

LOL. great comment.

I have a kin/energy brute which is great. But Kinetic melee is better on scrappers and stalkers. Power Siphon is a power I hate. On brutes you cannot get it to instantly recharge with a critical. It is nice how it builds up the damage increase, but you have to hit to get the bonuses.

Apparently, average is the new worthless. Its as if the reason the devs are here is to learn new ways to make more powerful sets, and every one that isn't provably better than the rest is an error. And that's assuming that Staff is only average for single target, and I'm not sure that's been correctly established.
If the devs wanted to make each set absolutely more powerful than the last one, there's something called the decimal point that was invented a thousand years ago that makes that ridiculously easy.
I didn't think you could replicate the level of crazy involved with the original hate on Willpower, but clearly I underestimated crazy. -

So, in that regard, every other Resistance set not Invulnerability is also weak and needs have it's weaknesses shored up?
Dark Armor has a KB Hole, but has the best heal in the game... and is extremely endurance inefficient with SOs.
Electric Armor's heal has a massive cooldown, but otherwise has no status holes. Just, it IS technically less survivable at SO levels.
Invuln's heal is an even longer cooldown, but it has no status holes + invincibility.
I don't get how people can talk down FA as a paper-thin set, when in reality it's S/L is right up there with Dark and Elec, and has arguably the better heal of the group at SO levels.
i have a fire/ice tank that is my worst tank. (my badge toon and name sake too.) It was made during issue 3 during the herding/burninating epoch. Even with the recent boost, which I think was great, it still is a poor tank. If just cannot take the beating that others can, even when compared to scrappers and brutes.
Ice melee is terrible. Fire armor is better, but still not good. If I still ahd access to my SD/Ice tank i would run comparisons again. The shield/ice was usually 3 minutes faster at completing missions which were identical. (AE missions) -

The +2 Proc makes that power a beast. With the recharge and having two up at most large spawns, something was getting held...period. I built my beam/time corruptor for recharge and could have 3 up if it was even necessary. With the proc, I could reliable lead off with that with the defense from farsight and maybe 20% or so total ranged bonuses. And by the time anyone got out of the first field to close to melee, I had another one up, or they were dead--either worked.
would you put the damage procs in it? Is it effective with them? -
I created an earth/dark which is awesome at debuffing everything. I made it a cave dweller who draws power from the nether world.
-
I created a dark/time and it is named Ides. Guess when it was created.
I also created an earth/dark and named it Nithera. -
earth/dark controller is fun. crap to solo, but can debuff anything. I am also enjoying my grav/elec dom. I think my fire/storm corruptor is still my favorite though. my kin/energy brute (made before the buffs) is probably my favorite melee toon. ( i HATE siphon power though)

I stopped reading after this... lol.
Anyways, on topic.
I have an energy/energy stalker from when CoV started and I am liking the new changes. I respec'd and forgot about the barrage changes which is an oops on my part. I hate that there is zero AoE on energy melee. Makes me want to mothball it again.
My question is about disrupt in energy armor. Does it break hide? -
A brute with scourge or containment is going to be awesome.
-
Ahh, thank you both.
-
what are the new numbers for soul absorption and fade?
-
I will do what I do with almost all of my others and get Scorpion Shield. I will get the Clarion incarnate that does power boost for a longer duration.
(Slowed Response does -defense as well.) -
Energy armor is really good now when coupled with IO's and you can soft cap. Stone armor is great...but. My stone tank is dormant now. It isnt needed in the I-trials. It was an awesome toon to play and IO. But my energy armor brute is more fun. I unfortunately chose kinetic melee, which is also great... on anything but a brute. (I HATE power siphon)
If you do make energy armor, you will not see your costume. Which is no different than any of the other armored sets for the most part.
