I can't believe that it happens like that every time and it's always ONE person.

If you're looking for something that plays like nature without being bad, roll thermal instead. If you're looking for something that solos well, brute.

If you're banking on nature being buffed eventually, I'd lean toward nature/rad defender if you can't do IOs, rad/nature corruptor if you can. Defender's in a better position to shut down enemies with -tohit, +defense, and +resist powers without IOs. Corruptor makes up the difference with IOs plus gets crits and no teaming penalty.

Before the first group, I hit Light Form (which puts me to the hard cap for all but psi/toxic). I run in, alongside an /Invuln Brute... I immediately get stunned and start wobbling around. I immediately thought 'wait, Light Form was supposed to grant you mez protection, this can't be happening!' and... a moment later I'm dead (and so was the /invuln Brute).

Long story short: I realized Light Form provides practically no mez protection (~2.6 when you get it, 3.something at 50). After going a few more missions, I shelved that PB. Didn't even play any Sunday.


Oh well, so much for getting a 50 that I could seriously play through the Incarnate content (especially DA) with. At least First Ward and Night Ward were fun (even if the Animus Arcana repeatedly handed me my ***!).



Oh, you said fun.

As for meleers - yeah, you're likely right as well. New stalkers can put out such impressive DPS numbers a spiderlings + DM + defense powerset build might get somewhere. I could see a granite brute getting good results against most AVs, too; or a TW/resistance set combining Defensive Sweep with resistances. It's tricky finding the balance between decent survivability, sustainability and damage on SOs/common IOs. Against a theoretical AV lacking resistances or any special power it looks about alright, but even dealing with something as little as 20% res can make a fight impossible, and there's so many AVs out there with some resistance to S/L - which takes a significant amount of powersets out of play.

Let them do what they want. It doesn't make the slightest bit of difference to how anything in game works for you. If you have such a problem with them, don't invite them to your teams. "Problem" solved.

And no, that doesn't make any sense to me either. Endurance restoration and Endurance Recovery powers do not scale for different ATs so I'd expect Endurance Discount powers to do the same.
