Irresponsible

Wouldn't that leave us where we are now with an Inherent that wastes a lot of +Resistance in Human and Dwarf once you get and slot Light Form? Why not kill two birds with one stone? Would they really just flat out give us more Resistance to Toxic and Psi without reducing the overall numbers? What I'd like to know is if the Inherent could be coded to give us +Psionic protection or something else we lack instead to Human and Dwarf form when we have LF active? Nova should be left alone though or given a boost against Toxic or something like that.

Really? Cool. For a while I was spamming the heck out of the Kheldian forums, like an annoying spamming spambot from Spamland, saying that usually whenever I team with a Warshade my PB seems to be more survivable and doesn't feel outclassed when it comes to damage either to the point where I stopped because it was seriously cutting into my game time and the majority seemed adamant that it couldn't be true. Now, evidently, there are numbers that prove that PBs are more survivable against single targets when there are no bodies or minions around and they do more damage if you exclude a Warshade's pets from the equation. Who would have thunk it?

Mostly I was just joking about how nobody ever seems satisfied with Kheldians while I'm a little in awe of how much the Devs have improved them since I started playing one about 4 years ago.


Before with a standard non set IO build you'd get around 59% Resistance in Dwarf form and now with LF you can get it up to 85% Resistance most, if not all of the time. How is this doing nothing? This is huge in the way that the difference between non-capped Defence and capped Defense is huge.

Yeah! I'd love some Psionic Resistance to be provided by the Inherent.

I thought the issue was not being able to hold aggro when Blasters and other ATs can do so much damage, not that Antagonize was missing. I haven't gotten to test this much but it sounds like it should make White Dwarfs more Off Tankery at higher levels which was a real problem for me. And freeing up an extra slot for Kheldians is a big deal just by itself.

Thanks and I believe you. Perhaps it could be done by simply flagging the caster to not be able to recieve any heals for a short time. So you'd be healing the party at the expense of not being able to heal yourself for a bit.

I don't know about how it looks on paper but having LF apply to all the forms makes playing a PB just totally awesome.The change is really like night and day.

It takes your Heath and Endurance down to 50% if you have full bars.

With the recent changes level 38+ PBs now have tanker levels of Resistance in all the forms most of the time, or all of the time if you have perma LF, with only a neglible crash and we do more damage too. Overall it seems like a great improvement which brings us a lot closer to what Warshades and VEATs can do.

I'm having tons of fun in Nova form for the first time in quite a while due to being a nearly indestructible blasting machine (it's not really and there is still the Psi hole but it just feels that way!).

Teeheeheehee! And I am offically onboard and excited about these changes to Kheldians.

Kheldians
White Dwarf Antagonize and Black Dwarf Antagonize now automatically hit when used against NPCs.

Ask and you shall receive, apparently. Can I have some cake?

This is the kind of thing I don't understand. Human is actually the most survivable form to use at least at high level once you get LF. Dwarf Form is the one that becomes useless at high level cause of the relative lack of damage. You can teleport out and drop to human form for Build Up and Hasten and then tp back in but that greatly reduces your DPS compared to what Black Dwarfs can do. Rigging up a macro or bind to drop to human and hit SF or Build Up before switching back to tanking works also but it is riskier.

Not using Nova as an opening strike and closer to pick off stragglers really just gimps your damage output for no good reason if you are triform. It's like people are playing another game or have never really taken a PB to 50.

Yeah it's never gonna work on bosses unless someone else on your team has a power to stack with it but it takes minions and even LTs out of the fight like crazy once you have it properly slotted with accuracy, recharge, and disorient duration and it can easily be made perma with Hasten. It's really nice to have while your AOE attacks are recharging so you can just jump to the next mob without having to worry about being swarmed. As a Human Form only you have fewer AOEs so it's even more important.

You don't need Maneuevers for Vengeance either if you have Assault and Tactics.

Nope, can't agree with that. Changing LF to be like Eclipse would make it nearly useless in a lot of boss or AV fights which is a huge part of this game. There's no point in having two Kheldians AT's if they are gonna be exactly alike. Conversely, if you made LF a Strength of Will clone it would flat out just not provide as much resistance as Eclipse or LF currently. There has to be a better way.

That's okay. You don't make sense to me either. Just consider us polar opposites.

Testify!

On the good side the devs may have finally cured me of my altitis since I don't think I could stand creating any new characters anymore. The whole business of what used to be explained in the tutorial being stretched out until level 20 or whatever sounds really annoying even if optional like those help pop up things. Does anybody really like those?

Are you familiar with the term straw man argument?
