Yeah I suppose. Actually I always had it down as a mind over matter thing. Still it is a black pea in the pod.

I mean thats great guys the more voices the better. I immagine there are ways to get speech recorded and done. Im still lacking artists and logistics on how to get this done though.

I do like my dominator. And Im noticing there are alot of people who appreciate a good dom in a team. But yes few people play them. Beats me why but I reckon we will see a rise in them in a month or 2. We have to be careful when comparing them to a controller though. Id definately say my dom shines in a team and Im not enthusastic soloing with him. In the early days I give that a go too.

As for pets well my dom is a remake of my mind troller right down to costume. The only difference is the secondary which is psi blast. I find him much better as a dom than a mind troller if Im honest. I seem to get compliments while playing him too so Im getting the hang of something.

Well yes but I think sticking to shhowing your friends it would be safer. Im not saying my opinion on the thing itself. Just the choice to display it here.

You know I do have revive and yet I always forgwet to use it. In fact I forgot I had it though it too fits with my concept of never die. I do like it I have to say.

As for saying not taking Mog is stupid because it doesnt fit with a concept is the stupid thing to say Im sorry if I cause offence by that but I call it as I see it. I think you willl find MoG is the contested power of regen and I hardly use it too. Its a wildcard and needs to be slotted well to be any use. In fact I often forget I have that too from the habit of rarely using it.

I either need to use it more effectively or get rid in truth. Simply remember to hit DP before MoG and slot it nicely in my respec is a nice way to use it. But it does have little to do with regen.

Actually I didnt because for one you clearly turned it off when we were done, and I would have thought an empath would ned to spam in those situations I know I would. Maybe I need to bind it myself. Ill see how it goes first.

The general feeling is that regen is regularly nerfed so we are not suprised when it is. Im getting sick of the idea regen is overpowered. That went out months ago and peole who insist on this idea need to get with the times and accept that I3 was a long time ago. Or just accept they dont know what they are talking about. At any rate we dont know anything concrete at this time. This rumour could be simply attributed to the sentiment and not on fact.

We cant act rashly on hear say. Until nearer the time a change is propsed we can only speculate and that well get us riled up. In honesty we can only make noise during a window and hope that any nerf is lessened (they are never reconsidered).

As for the sataement that there will be no more major power set changes well it depends if we consider major to have the same meaning as Statesman. We already seem to be at odds with his definations of a few terms and statements.

Too soon dude.

In any case Id stick to keeping that private really your gonna upset people and get in forum bother. Not from other posters as getting your forum account reviewed by the mods possibly.

|Just to stick my oar in here Im well into my new empathy job. Yeah I know that I just restarted but that means I have had two empaths to levels 23 and 25. I still have my level 25 and my new one will replace.

On my first empath I was learning the ropes but I seemed to be doing well and got compliments. I found though that empathy was contested more than any other build. And more interfereance from people who did not even have empaths piped up. Somw of it was valid and when I restarted I took the advice most suited to me and my play style.

With ED Im having to change again just as I got used to it but never mind. I still stick by my convictions on not choosing AP for example. Yet I have seen it used well its a power I wont take. Also I would love to take TP friend for the reasons Gale mentions. But I cant see a way to fit it in unless TP is my travel power. And then I would need to fit hover. In any case I dont like TP I cant get along with it.

As for auto heal I personally dont do it. I have had to spam it just to keep people alive and teams have not complained. But I like to choose when to spam buffs and heals and when not as to having it on auto. Again my take on it but having done a dreaded shard tf with Gale on sunday I had no issue with auto heal. It worked for Knightie and it kept us alive. Difference is one autos it and me I trigger the spam manually and then stop when not needed. I have a pc thats getting on now and in need of upgrade but I cant say lots of green on screen concerns me. Maybe it does some but I am not peaved by it. And I dont see it as a clumsy tactic either. Certainly not since EDs heal rate drop. Id go as far as to say that its kinda pick nitting if you object to auto heal really. I get more lag with a Warshade and Dark armour near me than Auto heal.

But as I said at the start each to their own. You may be more tolerant to DA and WS than auto heal as you feel Auto heal is an active choice I suppose but I accept peoples styles and sometimes you gel so well with someones play that you get treat. Others it just gets the misssions done. Thats the game.

Ok so quite a while back I wanted to write a story for Lodestar my main and other chars I had. But in recent months I wanted to take it further. A few comics have been thrown around and they arent so bad but I had a brainwave 2 months back. Take the comic further and add a soundtrack.

The characters would actually have a person doing the voices and a few sound effects. The story would run as a program playing a soundtrack to the accompaniment of audio voices and effects.

Well the main stumbling blocks are obviously a story needs writing which I can do. But that I am no artist and I need some help on that front to create an atmospheric comic. And of course how to record voices and chhose people and get sound effects for the Audio side of things.

Im confident with the right people it can be done but Im in no illusion I need help advice and well a creative team to get this off. I think its got legs but can any of you help? Or contribute?

Im also liking the idea of putting some of your toons in it here and there to some degree. My way of getting a community thing going and a shout out to friends and creative character makers.

I ask for your thoughts please.

Sure Ill be there. Lodes becoming quite the regular these days

If someone is a good defender they would buff the other defenders. They are part of the team too. One who wants to prove themselves by ignoring the other defenders is only proving they suck. Common sense.

Ok we have 5 then. Anyone know the min team requirement?

Well I dont celebrate christmas but I do celebrate full stop

So Ill make a show if I can and hope to see lots of you there. Im sure you will accept a merry christmas and well wish from a buddhist wont you?

Well ok then what is the current feeling to get this done? Are we meeting in Pereguine tommorrow a planned or what?

So do i i tried but apparently i was wrong for believing and trying to see any good. Apologies to all that i got involved in this. I was wrong and maybe should show less faith at times. Sorry again

[/ QUOTE ]

Nothingn to be sorry for. Just as I say use those noble qualities you tried on someone else. Admiration for all those who tried. I extend my hand and say so in all genuineness.

Well I think the attitude of let him to himself is best and I maintain that. In fact tonight I was just musing on how many other people desrve a chance and dont get one while their is a thread on Lui when he acts up big time and abuses a friend of mine and a fellow member of Mighty Saguaros own SG.

I had the feeling it was not a good night when he began talking nonsense about adults shouldnt be playing this game. And he still seems to enjoy spamming invites repeatedly. If anyone is striking a chord I do suggest that matter be raised.

I still say he doesnt want to listen and I have no bitterness just time for me to call it went a long time ago. I hope he sorts himself but Ill just let it happen on his own devices or not. Time to give others a break now if we are full of forgiveness and understanding. Both are truly great qualites we all should give and enjoy but wasting them is another matter.

...our heals have been nerfed by 40%.

[/ QUOTE ]
Well the green numbers have gone down, but in terms of healing/second you werent really that badly nerfed. Before ED the best healing/sec from healing aura was 4 heals 2 recharges (if you have hasten) and Iirc closely followed by 3 recharges 3 heals. 6 Heals gave a poor result.
Some quick calculations
Healing Aura has a base heal of 13% of your own hp and has a recharge of 8 seconds.
6 heals even lvl (ED not included)
13% *(6* 33% + 100%) ~ 39%, so you get 39% heal every 8 seconds. Giving you a healrate of 4,875%/second

3 recharges, 3 heals (ED not included, its not that big a difference anyway)
13% * (3*33% + 100) ~ 26%, so you get a heal of 26% every 4 seconds (3 recharge enh about 4 seconds [8/(1+3*,33)]
That gives you a healingrate of 6,5%/second.

Or if you choose to put in an end reduction instead of another recharge, you get.
26% every [8/1+ (0,33*2)] ~4,8 seconds. Thats 5,42% heal/second.

Im too lazy to include hasten and ED in my calculations, but this will give you an idea as to why you werent that badly hit.

Er before ed 6 heals with perma hasten was the best rate of healing...

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope

[/ QUOTE ]

*sigh* A prime example of why people should stick to their own ATs and leave other well alone. No number crunching is any comparison to real experiance. And numbers can be easily be wrong when not taking a simple factor in consideration. 6 heal and perma hasten was by far the best end of.

While my empath is only lvl 25 I can work this out. As for Absorb Pain I find it interesting the divide post ED is still not raging. I still dislike AP and have not taken it. Like wise I have not got TP friend. The reason being I totally agree on how useful it is but I can see no eay of fitting it in. AP too for that matter.

One last question guys. Im thining of for a second time restarting my empath any tips? I havent played hik much after I6 and CoV. I was wondering if I should go to en instead of psi.

Thanks TG dude. I might want your advice on something soon with regards to my creativity angle.

Welcome to the forums and of course gratz on 50.

Ok as I couldnt get on the game for long I just took the week off. Lodestar has been on duty in some serious long shifts and is entitled to a holiday. And no playing CoV doesnt count.

So after a weeks vaction. Unpaid I might add Im back. All nice and chilled out. And it seems Im unable to join a certain other MMORPG that I was interseted in (Dark and Light). So fate conspires to keep me away from other games. So full attention remains here.

Funny you metion this Prox. Im having a word with a few SGs about their toons for a little thing Im trying to get started.

Not sure of some of my characters ages. Mpost of them in mid 20s and early 30s. King chrome is mid 40ish.

Sorry Lodestar is a lvl 50 MA/regen scrapper. Just to fill in the blanks

Oh hey well done Anzoria. Im afraid still little progress for my 2nd 50 but Im messing with other stuff to play. Well done

Well just yesterday Ether Knight decided he was not renewing his account. A sad time indeed and Im sure anyone who knew him or teamed with him willl feel his loss. As a popular defiant member I just wanted to let those of you who were not aware of his departure.

He gave his reasons for finally quitting over on The Contingency boards and we can only wish him well. Im sure many of you wish him well as we in The Last Stand and The Contingency do.

So even though I already said it in our base all the best EK and thanks alot for all your help. Thankfully some of us will get to keep in touch with you.
