If you don't already have Herostats ... get it. I exported my logs to .csv and opened that up in Excel and did some cleanup.

Roots did 3% of my solo damage and 5% of my BAF damage. It's hard to tie the Reactive prots to what exactly proc'd them. I would assume Roots triggered a fair amount of those though, as it is such a fast recharging, high target hitting power.

This is making me want to make a plant/stone. Grumble.

Funny that you ask that.
See the thread I just posted in these (Dominator) forums. I've got some relatively hard numbers with the Mako pets & lore pets included. My lore pets are the IDF ones though, and I think they may be the bottom of the barrel damage wise.

Yes. Creepers own doors.
If only I weren't /mako for theme... but I still do fine without Sleet .

I've slotted in mission at least once.

I crafted & changed T2->T3 Lore the other night after Marauder's cutscene in the Lambda trial.

So, there may be funky things like the trial hospitals and cutscenes (things that reset some kind of "in combat" flag, perhaps) which will allow it.

The -resist debuff on reactive is basically useless/gravy to me. I have done fairly solid testing of reactive on a dom & scrap and am well aware of the fire damage proc's power (SIGNIFICANT ).

Also, I'm quite aware that you can make multiples... I would have to be daft to be ignorant of that point. I just have no desire to do so for 30 separate incarnates. Heck, I'll be lucky to get singles on most of them.

So, I'm just going to focus on a few characters, only one of which I will bother to make multiple interfaces on.

Back to the thread topic: Has anyone actually tested the gravitic radial branch of the Interface slot? Especially paired with elec/ - is the -recov noticeable? the -special might be more useful (thematically/debuffing) on a defender, so I may go that route too.

...but...but I had just gotten used to "walk"-ing it off!

Commons are pretty useful though, more than uncommons (once you have the 4 or 8 that you need - which isn't that hard), at least. I think uncommons break down for 8-10 which, most of the time I would just be using to craft half a common with.

This will be more useful you get data from other ats in addition to the MMs, so we have some kind of comparison. I probably won't start my MM until next week, but until then I'll try and keep track of what I get.

One thing to think about - if it is contribution based, then I would think that characters with ++ should get better drops than those without (?). However, for my scrapper going from +0 to +2 does not seem to have changed the quality of his drops. I haven't been paying attention on my dom, but I'll try to watch for it when I get my other T3.

Also, I am a little crazy about data, so I will note ATs, + status and drops from other league-mates when possible.

Yep.

But, like ultrawatt said, right click->D ftw. Although I have to be careful not to delete good stuff...done that too many times .

Also, check out the market, there are some sets with recipes that are worth nothing, but crafted sell for 5-15mill & drop in bronze.

Sorry, I did not mean that to disparage you, I was just asking what the "point" of that table was, as I know it exists.

The times I gave were for a very solid farmer (but not the best! The good ones are like 30-50% faster than me from what I hear) doing 4/8/bosses... I don't know exactly how the 0-+4 affects the ticket rate (I've heard higher + gets better tickets but never bothered to test), however if you were just running -1/8/noboss or 0/8/noboss I wonder if you couldn't get those times with SOs. Still, let's call it an hour to get 9k tickets with a substandard farming build (a tank with SOs, say).

The crafting process seems to be a drag on many people, most people don't have time for that so they just turn around and sell stuff... I'd say that cuts you down to 50-100 million on average, depending on flukey rolls. Could still be 200 easy enough.

As for maps, anyone can find those - the main arcs are all posted in the farming thread. Or you could just search for "fire" and try out a couple and find one you like.

If your main goal is just "make money", I think the market & AE are the way to go. If doing the same thing over and over aren't your thing (and they aren't mine, really, I only do it sporadically), then tip missions may be more fun & rewarding.

Also, 5 minutes per tip is quite a bit faster than I do them - especially counting all the variance & "bad" tips that drop (I hate you Oranbega!) for me. Usually when I do tips I run 3 accounts so I'm pretty much guaranteed to at least get a decent tip mission BUT sometimes even then I have 9 missions that I would really rather not run (I have all the redside ones & most of the others documented so I know which are annoying to me).

I've heard of people getting this - is this the "you've been shafted" table, ostensibly for people who AFK a trial or something?

T2 (25% dot rate, 25% proc rate) was only about a 10% damage increase from the dot, so the extra 25% (increase in dot rate from 25->50 with t2->t3) seemed pretty noticeable on the run I tested. I haven't tested with a higher proc rate yet because, even if it was stacked max all the time that would only be a 10% boost... I also don't have isolated test data for not having the proc on at all... I probably won't get around to controlled test like that for quite a while. I don't see any compelling reason why the -res could be any better at this point. Maybe if it at least couldn't be resisted.

If one of the T4s was 50/50 I would go for that, but since it's not, *IF* I get a T4 I'll get the 75% dot/ 25% proc one. T3 is fine for me though and I'm not super motivated to move past it.

I will agree that marketing is faster than AE. However, for me, AE was way, way, way faster than tip farming.

9k tickets converts to about 200-300million inf (depending on market, some things are way down with i20) and, if you are purely farming tickets (solo, no bosses, etc.) you can hit 9000 in 6 runs, or <35 minutes (depending on loading times) for a decent build. Spend another 20-30 minutes crafting and you have made 200 million in an hour. How fast are you running 5 tips per alt and converting to a lotg every 4 days? It sounds like you put in about 2 hours per lotg?

I went down the regen rebirth tree on both my advanced incarnates so far - if you hit t4 that's a permanent 200% regen boost (with MUCH more that isn't perma) which, for me, is a really great thing to throw on top of layered defenses. Or, for my dom who doesn't have any defense at all and rarely gets hit - but when he does get hit I never have any greens.

For my blaster I'm really torn between Clarion for the perma status prot for soloing and and Rebirth/regen for just being cool. I suspect Clarion will be the route I go as well.

You could say that.....

T3 (50% dot, 25% -res) increased my kat/da's TOTAL damage by ~25% vs. Romans. Yes, total. The only thing that contributed more damage across the span of an entire ITF was my Void Judgement (t3, boosted cap and size). It might not be as awesome on someone without a dmg aura... will be testing on my dom soon.

I'm pretty sure I have. It's hard to catch in the spam, but I've noted his HP bar jumping up once or twice - I thought it was a server lag thing, but this makes more sense.

Isn't the -tohit only -2.5 per, stacking 4x to -10? About the only melee character I would take that on is one with a damage aura - otherwise it just doesn't seem like it would stack reliably. And, even then, I tend to build my scrappers glass-cannonish, but that's just me . Maybe on a tank with a damage aura? Hmmm.

Update: T3, with 50% proc rate contributed 21% of my total (not including judgement) damage across the span of an itf. More than any other power, including my damage aura.
