Well IIRC pyro looks like a punching move which shoots a fireball that burns the floor and create a magma for a few seconds. With a few tweak you can make it look like a rock thrown maybe your girl "punched" a rock and it hit the bad guys (or good guys depending on your side)

Other than this vorpal is closest I can think off. Vorpal looks like a kick that you teleported and kicked everyone in the area (or moved really really fast) but its teleportation is too vague and if you have a shiny aura it stays in the place.

It is asked what do you expect. Last time I checked neither alpha nor interface is coing out in i24 now if there is a hidden slot called alpha-interface and by any chance if they announced that they will be releasing it than apologies for my negligence of situation. Otherwise my point stands I want an incarnate power which is not a clickie (or half-***** of a toggle)

Well for your first point. When CoV was released it was a seperate game not just an expansion pack. You could buy it and play stand-alone. From that point it would be meaningless to spend resources to make game more interactive with each other than a couple of zones and arenas.

For second part you need people presented to start that kind of play and in no way in any MMO there is a way to write a code that a player triggers an event that otherside can join in later. Only sandbox MMO's can do that but in those it is usually not a game predefined mission or event happens that way just player scheduled raids to another faction tops.

Closest thing I have seen so far in any MMO that what you want was in the RF online when at each 8 hour there was a faction vs faction vs faction (there was three faction I am not sure if that game is still around I remember it went to freetoplay) event take place to capture the main mine field and that was all.

I had all 8 hybrid T4's and I was changing between them alot to see different effects once a new update come to beta and only problem I had with them is if you equip from same tree passive bonus would be lost. I didn't see stacking passive bonuses bug on beta at all and they make a fix for the bug I reported this stacking issue begin after that fix.

I saw something similiar to this earlier today. I changed from radial assault to core assault and I had passive boost as double stack but when I opened combat attribute and check numbers see only one was effecting me. My suggestion is open your combat log and check numbers to see if you are really getting all three boost.

Lets see for my kat/SR scrapper;

Before I could afford them my build didn't had any purple or PvP IO and its structure was quiet different as well as its power selection and slotting.

After I could afford two purple set (hecatomb and armageddon) by collecting more than half through gameplay and getting others from a friend that leave the game for good. My build changed but not too much drastically.

Later I manage to get a gladiator -res proc and once again my build changed once again to put it in GD.

When I got into incarnate content my build didn't changed at all but I know a couple of friends changed their builds based on alpha and destiny.

When we got enhancement boosters however my build went a big overhaul. I removed maneuvre completely from my build removed most of red fortunes in my SR powers and replaced them with three LoTG's and put CJ to save a couple more slots, put more slot on health and tough and removed a slot from hasten and still keep it 3 second away from perma.

When ATO and catalyst came in my second big overhaul happened, I removed CJ as well and had enough inf at this point to get a shield wall+res and glad armor +def, with addition of these my build moved away from focusing on getting enough defense from sets and even slotting for enough defense on powers it actually become a race to not get overboarded. I always aimed normal defense cap because I can survive in incarnate content with less problem thanks to judgement, lore and destiny and it only matter in solo content of DA since while in a team I had more than enough def for itrials and I always keep recharge at the same level to let me use almost perma hasten so my focus moved on health, damage and edurance in respective order.

On beta I was lucky to get my hands on 2nd ATO's and I can say that another big overhaul will be coming on my way when they are released.

So yes I made lots of changes on my character based on what is released and from bonuses of this I will probably get it up to 5 and slot it. I amnot sure if I will overhaul the build though from what I see this has similiar bonuses of 2nd ATO I am planing to put so I may use this as a base.

But SR is still better if you wanna skip defense power from TW. Only time TW, BS and katana may add to an SR on defense wise maybe when leveling and that is all. Ofcourse it is debatable if SR is really better as a set or not but that is entirely different argument.

Well I am on the other boat actually. If there was no level shift integrated to those three I wouldn't get lore at all. I would go T4 with Alpha and interface first than I would got judgement I wouldn't touch destiny until I had enough to make it a T4 for perma bonus and wouldn't touch to lore at all and directly jump to hybrid for more passive bonus though admitedly after judgement I would take my time with destiny and hybrid. However this is only because I only have 4 50 characters, 2 scrapper, 1 WS and 1 MM only time I would get destiny and lore after alpha and interface would be on my MM which I don't play much and only got to 50 to unlock VEATs.

On the topic: I think Omega slot will grant two level shift one normal and one incarnate (probably one at T3 and both at T4 and again probably T3 ones will be divided into two, one set giving only incarnate level shift with better bonuses while other giving normal level shift with less) which will bring total to 50+5 for incarnate and 50+2 for normal content. Also I think after omega slot we will see a PvP haul. After handling all problems players will start hunting other incarnates to increase their own power to ascend (wishful thinking doesn't kill :P)

I heard that there is a plan to remove shards completly but I don't know details or reliability of the source.

You need super speed, flight, teleport etc kind of travel power or stealth to lose npc's Sprint+ninja run works too but sprint alone only works if the map is a maze or indoor one. Usualy thing I do is first running backward and making NPC follow me for a while if there is still enemy left in front than suddenly turning back and passing NPC as far as possible most of the time their AI can't resume following.

I meant it as a non-vip method but true there is also conversion method.

There is a workaround for having more than 6 catalyst on a toon albeit it is a headache and can only work in certain situations. You can use catalyst on a set you slotted than unslot that set and send it to yourself via email. Problem with this it needs unslotter and can only be used on same AT.

I remember strategy being means that a hidden flying stalker getting tp close AS and tp out to a random direction. Still I can't deny it was fun in RV and Sirens Call, I even remember the europe PvP event in Sirens Call it was the first time I learned about zones had a player limit and on defiant a zone reached to 4 instance for once.

Or in the PD cage ring. :P

Your factors a little off. Scrapper base damage modifier is 1.125 not 1.25 if you take critical into account it is %10 for almost anything other than minions so it becomes 1,2375 however if you factor ATO's critical chance increase it becomes %16 for most things and it becomes 1.305.

At damage cap a power with a base of 100 damage does 620 damage with a brute and 562.5 damage with scrapper without critical. With normal critical it does 618.75 damage and with ATO it does 652.5 damage. Also most tier 9 primary powers in scrapper set has a flat %15 critical chance if you factor them without ATO brute and scrappers are very close at damage cap.

It won't be directly double the number of that damage. Scrapper set critical strike says 3.5 damage but supeior scrapper strike only give %4 damage. My best bet is it is same for SoA one and it will give %3 or %4 damage tops for purple set.

EDIT: Just checked superior spiders bite it gives %4 damage bonus.

Out of curiosity which sets you put in aid self and aid other as set mules?
