Yeah I guess the resistance is just average from Wild Growth but stacking 200% regen is fairly nice once slotted for that.

I like the idea of developer voiced trailers to explain new sets - is this going to be a new thing for the future, or just a one-off for this set? -

NA looks to be very clicky

How should it be slotted? 3 heal/3 resist, or 3 recharge/3 resist? etc.
Also, I kinda think slotting end mod in Lifegiving might be worthless, as even if doubled it's only like 2 endurance every 4 seconds or something, right? etc -
How are you guys/gals going to slot Wild Growth? I honestly can't decide if I should go 3 resist/3 heal or 3 recharge/3 resist. Unless Mids is wrong, Wild Bastion doesn't get increases to Absorption with slotted heals - only the HOT seems to be affected.

Quote:I would hit Synapse with this info again just in case - I was hoping the end boost would be higher too but he seemed to want to buff just the healing strength when all those changes hit.Originally Posted by Trickshooter
I mean, I know WHY... Support toggle end costs have to be balanced for more than the caster getting their benefit. But toggles that cost endurance and grant endurance and/or recovery are still weird to me. It'd be like a toggle that granted 10% Defense to a team, including the caster, but also cast an 11% -Defense on just the caster.

Quote:That +tohit makes no sense to me. I get the damage but even that is questionable - due to lower damage base and lower caps, why should this be true? I assume this doesn't carry over to +tohit and +damage buffs to allies, but still, it's something to think about.Originally Posted by Trickshooter
Self +ToHit/+Damage mods second only to Blasters and Scrappers

I'm talking about how all the pseudo pet attacks will finally have correct AT numbers assigned to them, instead of everyone getting blaster versions.Originally Posted by Agent White
Worse? You mean with them getting access to non-crashing nukes and potentially insta-snipes? >>

I honestly cannot decide what kind of character I am going to make tomorrow. Throughout my CoH career, Defenders were my favorite archetype... but lately I've been having a harder time justifying having the best buffs in the game for such weak damage... and it's only going to get worse with issue 24.
I never picked up Beast Mastery but obviously there is some decent synergy there in both mechanics and theme. -
adorable

Do you have any that you have uploaded?
-
Cool. Maybe I will stay where I am at - I have Conserve Power 6 slotted for i24 and I have one acc only in Dehydrate. Thanks for all your help!
-
Yeah, I remember Adrenaline Boost being complete garbage for quite awhile too.
-
More like an i24 build. Currently I sit at 37%~ ranged def with 20 something s/l resist. The market has been a nightmare since double xp weekend but I can be patient.
-
It wasn't long ago where someone pointed out how this isn't even close: corruptor will always be best with this combo. Defender's got weakened versions of fire blast on top of their archetype difference, for example.

Quote:Energize grants a heal when you hit it, then grants regen on top of it... at least, according to Hawk.Originally Posted by Hopeling
You can do this, if you want to, but Energize is only worth ~30 hp/sec at best, so Dehydrate's heal for 133 (unslotted, without Tidal Power; potentially way more with those) every few seconds is still a decent improvement. Personally, I'd rather skip Hydro Blast, which deals less damage and has worse DPA anyway.
Tough + Charged Armor, slotted properly, can get you 45-50% S/L and ~30% energy resistance, which makes a pretty big difference, especially since you have minimal defense against anything that happens to get into melee range.
I definitely agree about not skipping Steam Spray. It is an excellent power.
...but yeah, no one should skip Steam Spray - it's one of the best attacks in all of Water Blast.
What would you do with the build to fit in Steam Spray? -
Sooo weird, I am building almost the exact same PC as you. I have to wait out the weekend to get my case and keyboard but this is what I will have:
Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core
Cooler Master HAF 912 RC-912-KKN1 ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

SAMSUNG 830 Series MZ-7PC256B/WW 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1000DHTZ 1TB 10000 RPM
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750W

Logitech G9x Laser Mouse
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit
LITE-ON H/H Internal BD Writer
Cyborg V.7 Keyboard
I can't wait to start making videos on this thing. -
Yeah that's what I thought. Maybe Hejtmane thought SR was typed defense.
-
Steam Spray is a must have in Water Blast - it does fantastic damage, in fact, I think it's one of the best blast cones out there. It does nearly the damage of Rain of Fire within no time.
I like how this looks - I think I will end up 6 slotting Conserve Power though for the issue 24 sustain abilities. Conserve Power (renamed Energize) will be perma with 3 recharge and you can slot it for heal.
The Kismet could be replaced with a LOTG Rech, since there is no snipe to think about, and all the Thunderstrikes and Posi sets will buff acc nicely.
Would it be easier to grab Scorpion Shield and drop slotting Tough and taking Charged Armor? I tried messing with it a little but without going with the full Mako sets + Tough I end up somewhere around 35%.
EDIT: oh, scorpion shield doesn't grant ranged unless you are pvp :P
EDIT 2: I suppose dropping Dehydrate would be the way to go, considering how Energize will help out in the healing department. I could steal slots from Health and Stamina and just slot those with vanilla IOs. -
Seems like a waste - I wouldn't.
-
Psy hole? It's not typed defense. I don't recall having an issue with psy damage.
-
Entangling Aura. Lifegiving Spores actually costs nothing if you stand in it, from what I understand, so I'm taking it - it's a constant heal patch that grants end to your teammates. I just wish it ticked faster, that's all, but no way am I skipping it.

My main back then was a Fire/Rad controller. One of my favorite memories was teaming up with a Fire/Kin controller, gathering up a huge mob and popping Imp+FS.
If we did it right, we'd get a blue full screen error saying there were too many VFX on screen to render.
THAT was hilariously epic.

No, that means that by the time it finally comes out, I'll not be as excited about it because I've been playing the set on beta so much for free. Already up to level 40 the manual way. It should be on beta long enough to fix bugs/balance issues and whet my appetite and then put on live. 4 months to wait for the release, it's already old news to me. oh my...
