EDIT! made a bummer *blush*

Hi Thelema

I'm no expert in IOs either, but i do have a few comments about the build and some of the slotting.

why did you take charged brawl and boxing? both are minor damage and you havent used boxing to get tough...?
I would drop charged brawl (start with havoc punch and get jacobs ladder at lvl 2) and take tough somewhere in the build.
also: i would swap cloak of fear for oppressive gloom.
CoF is VERY end heavy where OG only cost minor end and hp. and with thunderstrike and thunder clap in your build you'll be able to stun bosses

about the IOs:
i would slot at least 4 Impervium armor in each of Dark embrace, Obsidian shield, and Murky cloud, for the extra 3x 2,25% max endurance.
you may as well put 3 efficacy adaptor in stamina that way you end up with the same recovery + 1,13% hp bonus
and finally you may as well put the last Touch of the nictus in Dark regeneration. that way you can actually harm an enemy when you use it.

If you'd like i could probably come up with a build for you, but it would be made the way i would play ElM/DA

I always thought the bank robbery began when you got to within a certain distance of the bank - at least that's how it appears to have been from my experience.

[/ QUOTE ]

it does... however there is an "invisible" timer that starts the second you set foot inside the mission. when this timer runs out the bank robbery starts no matter where you are.

[ QUOTE ]
especially when I've been ignoring the bank, and concentrating on defeating the spawned mobs and vandals instead

[/ QUOTE ]

i've been looking in alot of places for info on this and found none... but i'm pretty sure i've never seen any vandals before the bank robber has been arrested. (not even the original I8 release notes could help me)

It seems to me that these boards are turning into a parrot cage!
every time someone replies to a new post, several other people simple repeat the answer in other words...
then someone adds a little extra to the reply and, again, someone repeats this in their post...

isnt there a better way to get a high post count?

a very good example is this post where i (for once) made the first reply, only to see several other people repeat exactly what i wrote...

isnt my reply good enough? i can understand why some people wants to add something extra to the reply, but i just dont get it when one or more people repeats everything everyone else has already written.


jbWarsmith out!

I dont see any reason for this.
As you say yourself you can get temporary travel powers at lvl 5. why make these obsolete at lvl 6?

This is a little Blaster powerset similar to Storm Summoning, here it is:

Wind Blast

Tier 1: Calm Wind

You summon a calm wind which causes Moderate DMG to an enemy.

Tier 2: Small Gale

You summon a small gale which in turn causes Moderate DoT to an enemy.

Tier 3: Heavy Gale

You summon a heavy gale which in turn causes Moderate DMG and a -ACC debuff to an enemy.

Tier 4: Wind Warning

You inform you allies that you will summon very heavy wind, and it gives them increased Perception and a small increase in ATK and DEF. You also cause High DMG to an enemy.

Tier 5: Blow Away

The wind you summon is strong that it blows away your enemy with Knockback and does High DoT to them!

Tier 6: Power of Wind

You summon a cloak of wind around yourself, giving you increased ToHit and DMG.

Tier 7: Incredible Wind

You summon an incredible wind and it does High DMG to your enemy and knockdown.

Tier 8: Wind Storm

You summon a wind storm, a PBAoE which which causes Moderate DoT to all enemies around you and also slightly debuffs their ACC.

Tier 9: Powerful Wind Storm

You create a powerful wind storm so strong that no veteran weathermen or woman know how dangerous it is. It causes a PBAoE with Extreme DMG and a Chance for Knockback!

i would rather have a tell saying "LTF?"

[/ QUOTE ]
I'm guessing that you would probably reply: "NTO NWO TXH "



[/ QUOTE ]

sorry to spoil your fun but i have absolutely no idea what that means, so no.
i would most likely reply with a "no thx" since there is no useful information in the tell (level, missiontype, etc.).

Scenario 1:
Man 1: Hi, do you know where aniwer road station is?

scenario 2:
man 2: aniwer road station?!?

scenario 3:
man 3: &lt;pushes map in random guy's face and expects him to know exactly what he wants&gt;


[/ QUOTE ]

My point exactly!


jbWarsmith out!

[ QUOTE ]
If you put 'no blinds' in the teaming description I definitly will not invite you. But if you do not have 'no blinds' I do not expect to have abuse hurled at me.

[/ QUOTE ]

having "no blinds" in search comment i dont expect to get blind invites throw in my face. but the come flying anyway!
you just wont get it, will ya? when i/we have "no blinds" in search comment it's because we DO NOT LIKE BLIND INVITES (i hope this shows just how much i HATE blind invites), so dont invite without a tell. we just want a little information. and if you take the time to give us this you'll see that we are just as nice as those who do not have anything in search comment.

[ QUOTE ]
In my opinion the request is enough. It is possible to say yes or no.

[/ QUOTE ]

in my opinion it's not enough. please respect that. i would rather have a tell saying "LTF?" in my chat window than a invite window pop up in the middle of the screen. that's the annoying thing here. you dont have any idea what i'm doing. i could be fighting a mob, trying to click an enemy og placing a location AoE, or maybe TPing high above the city. then a window in the middle of the screen is very annoying.

[ QUOTE ]
Clearly if you've flagged yourself as 'looking for any team' you don't much mind what the team is doing.

[/ QUOTE ]

the problem is: i'm NOT flagged for LFT. i'm at the default setting "not looking for any" and noone seems to respect that these are not the same. in my experience very few people actually bother to flag them selves as LFT. the vast majority simply stay at default "not looking for any"

[ QUOTE ]
So what information are you looking for when you interview a team to see if they are worthy of you? Do you ask for star-signs? Male / Female ration? What type of music they like? What?

[/ QUOTE ]

this is not even worthy of an answer...


jbWarsmith out!

[ QUOTE ]
I've only been playing this game a few weeks but I'm struck by how difficult it is to find a team. I've tried forming teams myself but I'm put off by the rude and arrogant people who believe you should send them a begging letter before they gran their permission for you to send them an invite. I mean why?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not asking for a begging letter. but i prefer a nice tell asking if i'm interested in a team. oh! and i WILL reply in as polite a manner as the tell i recieve.

[ QUOTE ]
If you don't want a team don't sit in the 'looking for team' section. It's pretty simple. You also get the option to refuse when an invite is sent. Why do you want to waste my time and spoil my fun, making me stop playing and spend all my time sending stupid messages?

[/ QUOTE ]

it's not that i dont want to team. i'm just picky when it comes to what/when/where.
Example: i'm currently lvling a new troller. i have no intentions of doing hollows with this troller, as i've done that on the last 3-4 toons in lvl range. so no point in joining a team if it's doing just that. here a nice tell asking if i'm interested in a hollows-team is much appreciated.

[ QUOTE ]
Whenever I see the 'mo blinds tab' I know the person is rude and arrogant so I just don't invite.

[/ QUOTE ]

you got this all wrong. it's the other way around. those who cant be arsed to write a tell are arrogant, and it's very rude just throwing tells in other peoples face.
if you want to play ball with someone you dont just throw the ball in their face and expect them to pick it up and play along. you ask them first


jbWarsmith out!

[ QUOTE ]
Anyway, how did the event go for the rest of you???

[/ QUOTE ]

i divided the winter event between two of my toons:
my DA/SS tank got all the badges, cossy pieces and other winter stuff + some 15 mill. from selling candy.
i made a new DB/nin stalker during the second weekend of december and made all the badges + cossy + naughty aura (at lvl 8 only to find i couldnt use it before lvl 30 ) + more than 30 mill from selling candy + some 30 lvls.

i'd say i had a nice winter event

Still a bit annoyed that the villian badge in breakout is a simple exploration badge whereas hero's have to fight for half an hour to get theirs.

You could wait and do the Isolator Badge in the intro arc for ouroboros.
There you should have the advantage of several temp powers.

Could we PLEASE get rid of that stupid 'dingaling dingaling dingaling' noise in the background in the beginning of the Villain tutorial? Please? Every single time I create a new Villain I end up with a painful headache from that horrible noise. Just the right pitch/frequency/whatever to be absolutely agonizing.

[/ QUOTE ]

you should try one of the following:

1. adjust the volume on the speakers.

2. adjust the volume in the PC software.

or 3. apply hammer to PC in a fast circular move.

note to pt.3!!! you may have to apply the hammer several times before it works. but when the annoying sound disappears the problem is solved.

So whats gonna be in the Magic booster pack? My money is on a Tommy Cooper style Fez hat costume piece!

[/ QUOTE ]

i remember reading an interview with Posi (but not where it was), and he mentioned that this pack would have content linked to the stage magician as well as the arcane. so my guess would be, yes. something like a fez probably some new emotes for using a wand and a pointy hat! we desperately need a pointy hat! (with stars on it) and perhaps even a robe

jbWarsmith out!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes.. but we need the possibility of SHOWING HAIR with them hats. We do have the sorceress hat, but im NOT going to use that on any char that actually has long hair. I would only use it on chars who are bold, and since i don't have any chars that are bold, so much for that... meh!

[/ QUOTE ]

i get your point, but i dont think this is the right place to bring up that subject. hats showing hair or not is a completely different subjuct, as it should be a complete makeover of all hats available, and not an option included in a pack bought seperately from the core game.

Midnight grasp does superior damage, am i right?
does siphon life do roughly the same amount of damage?
also shadow maul does high damage, but i know for a fact that Siphon Life does less damage... you do the math


jbWarsmith out!

[/ QUOTE ]You should keep up to date with patch notes. Dark Melee got buffed in i13.
So, no, you don't know this for a fact, because it simply isn't true anymore.

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
Dark Melee - Siphon Life recharge time reduced and damage increased

[/ QUOTE ]

This is what the patch notes say. and it goes for Scrappers, Tankers, Brutes, and Stalkers alike. not a single number in there. it could be minor or, as in this case, it could be major.
So dont give me that "you should keep up to date on patch notes" piece of [censored]. it's useless without specifications.

[ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

you still havent proven me wrong about this. my statement stands...

[ QUOTE ]
Siphon Life got its damage doubled*

[/ QUOTE ]

i didnt know the increase was this high, so i stand corrected. the damage would no longer be classified as "moderat". it's much closer to "high" now. but still nowhere near "superior" as your original statement claimed. that was also the only thing that made me reply to this post in the first place because...
[ QUOTE ]
The game frikken lies about power descriptions when it comes to damage and recharge. "Slow", "Superior", "Moderate", just don't put any of your eggs in this basket, instead look at the Real Numbers in detailed info.

[/ QUOTE ]
...i agree on this.

[ QUOTE ]
Siphon Life is definitely an awesometastic attack now. Take it, slot it, love it.

[/ QUOTE ]

i never said Siphon Life wasnt good. and with the much better damage it has now, i aggree with blitz that this attack has become a must have.

jbWarsmith out!

[ QUOTE ]
It does Superior damage. Yes, you shouldn't even have to ask, take it. :P

[/ QUOTE ]

uhm... no it doesnt!
Siphon Life does moderat damage. unless the stalker version is VERY different from the scrapper/brute/tank version
you'r probably thinking about Midnight Grasp.

i would say it depends on your build and/or secondary powers. if you have dark armor you will get Dark Regen at lvl 20 and IMO that is a better choice as a healing power. 2-3 recharge, 2-3 endurance reduction, and maybe 1 accuracy enhancement and this should be enough to get you to full health in no time.
just remember that this is my oppinion, and it really depends on your build and preferences.

Originally no Hazard zones had contacts.

The Hollows was the first Hazard zone with contacts.

[/ QUOTE ]

actually the Hollows is a Trial zone, not a Hazard zone.
The only Hazard zone to be given contacts is Faultline, but thats not a Hazard zone any more.

Hiya,

Just found out that Kismet +6% accuracy is NOT available at the Merit Vendor. The one I check is the one next to the Black Market in Cap.

Is there any other recipes that cannot be trade with merits?

[/ QUOTE ]

it's you...
i just looked and its there. in fact its the very first recipe listet from the Kismet set.
try adjusting the level with the slider at the top of the merit vendor menu. Kismet caps at lvl 30, so that is what the slider should be at (or less).
