Quote:It has a chance to proc once when you summon a pet (this buffs YOU), AND also for every time a pet attacksOriginally Posted by Square_One
4) Build Up proc in the pets? I'm not sure how well this works, it either has a chance to fire only when you summon one (not that useful) or when the pets attack (useful). Anyone know?
(This buffs that individual pet), this applies to all of the pet's powers and its AoE's get multiple chances to proc per target hit.
No matter what type of WS you build, the pets IMO should always be included/used, they add alot of firepower especially AoEs. With large enough spawns, the proc would be constantly proc for each pet. -
Quote:Mace mastery isnt so much to slow someone down, its for -jump/fly. Most if not all PvP builds have both SS/SJ, so being able to stop half their mobility and all of their vertical movement is paramount.Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
if your intent is also to slow an enemy into submission then a good thing to go with that would possibly be mace pool
but honestly, most poeple are gonna resist that a lot (elec and sr can both get huge resists to slow), and i dont know if they count under mezzes so i dont know if they would be hugely suppressed
if you can manage to stack on a lot of slows then you should be fine (if you went traps you would be forced to take a slowing and -fly power) -
Quote:I could only see the top two items being implemented, most of the others are so definitely never going to happen even if they were actively working on PBs right at this moment (especially the mez res/protection one)Originally Posted by Staccato
I would die of happiness if these changes were actually implemented. @_@
But I would love to be able to use Orbiting Death while in WS dwarf form
PS: add a taunt when in dwarf form and also to Dwarf Mire would be nice to aggro as well, don't know why PB dwarf's AoE has taunt but not dwarf Mire -

Fine, for players that suck, ToF is wonderful. Happy?
If your entire argument to reasons why I think it is bad is, essentially, "Nu-uh!" then I quit (I really super duper promise this time) -
Quote:What do you get when you combine the two!!! :POriginally Posted by Oedipus_Tex
I want to love Trick Arrow but... no. Trick Arrow is the Gravity Control of the buff sets.

Protector Bots also need some end reductions once you get the second upgrade, or they will run their blue bar into the ground with Photon Grenades and Seeker Drones. One Acc/Dam/End is enough end reduction while still providing some acc/dam

Quote:It used to not, but now it does give exp to targets you kill with the arc. (Same update that fixed how the arc would hit allies if the target was confused)Originally Posted by Sailboat
Does Chain Induction still not give exp for the damage it does? I totally forget whether that's been addressed, but I see it used in a lot of posted builds now.

And here I thought I'd found the Troll 2 of powers. Oh well.
No amount of slotting will make Flash Arrow good or even decent. -
Quote:QFT. BU + Aim + Nuke? (especially crashless ones)Originally Posted by Laevateinn
Not at all true. Spike damage helps you kill troublesome targets quickly and by frontloading all your best DPA attacks. Wiping out most of the lieutenants/minions in a single AoE volley helps reduce the damage you take. The huge ToHit buff allows you to land hits when heavily debuffed and end fights that you otherwise couldn't because every other hit is whiffing. Spike damage is especially important for Blasters who usually can't stand there to trade hits. Even if you're playing a softcapped whatever, when fighting defense debuffing enemies you'll usually want to kill things quick before cascading defense failure can set in.

Quote:You can still build for recharge without any Purples. (which is what Silver was talking about)Originally Posted by Tokyo
Not true. Unless you mean PvP IOs.
Being unable to build for recharge without Purples =\= Purpled Builds have more recharge.
Edit: people can still build high recharge builds, perma dom etc, without a single purple set. -

Do you have a problem getting places with Super Jump? I feel sorry for you. Super Jump is an easy travel power to use.

My MM when fully buffed (personal) and the enemy is fully debuffed can reduce AV damage into the single digiits, my pets can get nowhere near that kind of mitigation. The only problem is keeping aggro, which is what provoke/challenge fill in

Quote:And i think the perception of Claws under performing came from the time before real numbers, and when we finally got them, and people crunched the numbers, Claws was found to be pretty competitive. Alot of it seems to have been perception. (small damage numbers etc)Originally Posted by Bill Z Bubba
Yup. Not to mention calling out others for being trolls on this particular forum is against forum rules.
I would know. I've come close to being banned for doing it. -
Quote:And no one said it had to be buffed up to that point. Words in mouth etc etc.Originally Posted by Clouded
I don't think the devs care to buff the set to AV/GM soloing capability.

Maybe MMs deserve their own equivalent of Kheldian Quants/Voids.

Quote:The game takes your highest defense number against the ENTIRE power, with softcapped S/L defense, Bonesmasher would take the Smashing defense to see if the power would hit/miss, and if it does miss, the entire power misses, there is no half miss etc. If you had softcapped melee defense, it would do the same, which is why people recommend to stack one type of defense, typed OR positional.Originally Posted by PC_guy
just to make sure i'm understanding this correctly, if some hit me with bone smasher and i was soft capped to s/l the energy component would hit me but the smashing wouldn't?

Not a single DP user I played with on test skipped ES. They also used it almost all the time.

Quote:And now that time period has set into the general population that Rad is/was the only buff/debuff set that you need/want to kill AVs/GMs.Originally Posted by UberGuy
I forget where it fell in the timeline of people coming and going, but the original HP regen rate buff to AVs was a fairly epic analytical failure as well. Apparently, no one realized that without 500% unresistable regen debuffs that the AVs would be unkillable.

I think the main thing people need to learn is that most animals dont just attack for no reason. Most creature that we are afraid of, are also afraid of us! They tend to attack because they feel threatened and are protecting themselves(or their young), so one of the main rules of dealing with wild animals is to not make any threatening or sudden movements/actions and to back off slowly. Freaking out tends to make things worse and make them more likely to attack.
-
Oddly enough, while spiders make my skin crawl, I have no problem with their cousins, Scorpions, maybe since they seem more menacing then creepy.
-
The damage from the burning buildings is a large multiple of your maximum health, and it hits multiple times. So the more health you have, the more damage it does, hence the insane damage number on the Kronos Titan.

Oni has two RoFs. Rain of Fire, and Ring of Fire, the AoE rain power and a single target immoblize respectivly

Quote:Storm is a natural end hog, with the increased end costs associated with being an MM, you REALLY need stam. IE. L-Storm for MMs is a base 39 end, so 40% of your end bar, with one power. Then add the other, now more expensive, powers on top of that, and you could empty your end bar with two or three powers (with no end reduc).Originally Posted by Deacon_NA
Bingo. I have 2 traps, both with no Stamina. As mentioned previously, it's only an issue if resummoning becomes hot and heavy. I definitely like to have 2 columns of blues in reserve.
My FF MM has it but I'm about to respec out, I think.
The rest of them... I couldn't dream of a Stamina free life -
PD - no way, especially since this was built for true tankerminding
Dark - I wouldn't do it, though I suppose a clever build could get away with it. I use my epic AOE attack with this guy though.
Poison - I can't see how I'd skip it since I spam the secondary powers.
I don't have hands-on experience with Thermal, Storm and TA for MMs, though I do on other ATs. I don't consider any of those 3 endurance friendly outside of MMs, can't imagine it would be better for MMs. -
Quote:The level of attendance and how fast people show up is lightyears away from what Blueside Hamis experience. Most raids happen right on scheduled unlike Blueside that fills up beforehand. I really wish that more Villains did hami raids, considering it is the one easiest ways to get merits for my villains. :POriginally Posted by TheJazMan
Sunday afternoons at about 230/3 pm PST - red side Hami raids. Usually 2.
