Master-Blade

This is what I was led to believe as well.

Before you edited it out, all I saw was this...



On a side note, I'll be bringing Master-Blade Kat/Regen Scrapper. I know he may not be the best choice of all my toons, but he's the only one available that has not even run this SF yet. Nurse has not gone Vigilante yet, and Tabby went back to Heroside already, so they are not even options. It seems Customs will be tanking anyway.

At least I started out on the right track. haha

Well that comment is just plain silly.
Aggro can be attached to each mob independently. If you have a group of 6 foes in a stationary mob, and 6 foes in a Patrol mob walking through it, you can attack one from the patrol at range and only get the patrol mob without disturbing the stationary mob. This can largely depend on the enemies perception radius, whether or not the power you are using has a NotifyMob modifer, and/or if the power you are using has any AoE effects that might draw the attention of any foes in the other mob. Sometimes I feel like the direction the enemy is facing can impact whether or not they react to what's going on around them as well. This may or may not be the case, but it is a common tactic some people use when trying to pull enemies from mobs individually. Maybe the foes in your example were actually part of a single mob, but scattered around the room.

I'm not going to sit here and say it's always 100% predictable, but it's certainly not random. You don't need to be a math genius to manage agro. You just need to understand there are several factors that regulate it and once in a while things don't always go your way. That's what makes some scenarios challenging and fun.

To expand on that, you'll have access to Heroside after Day2, and it's on Heroside that you will get the Hero Tip missions to start becoming a full Hero.

You can press a different forward key, a backward key, or the Autorun key to cancel the autorun.
I prefer using the mouse for movement, especially when I'm just traveling to my next mission and I'm eating a snack with my other hand. lol
The thumb button on my mouse is an alternate jump button to make it even easier single-handed forward movement.

Everybody has their own preferences. Nobody should be forced to use a specific method of controlling their character, and due to our extremely customizable bind system, we don't have to.

A thousand times this.

Alternately, you can set it from the keymapping options menu by simply selecting one of the "Forward" keys you don't use and then clicking both mouse buttons simultaneously. Stay away from the option marked "Forward (Mouse Control)", because that's the one that binds "forward_mouse" and activates the autorun after 2 seconds.

As mentioned, there is a place in the options that allows you to lock the power icons.

Personally, I make it even easier with binds.

To lock the powers:
/bind KEY "option_set DisableDrag 1"
To unlock the powers:
/bind KEY2 "option_set DisableDrag 0"

- OR -
Use a single key to toggle it on and off with each press:
/bind KEY "option_toggle DisableDrag"

That way, you can easily toggle it on and off to move new powers as you are leveling up, or temporary powers you earn as you play, without having to search through the options to find it every time you want to make a quick change.

Recovery Resistance is listed in the Debuff Resistance section, and does seem to display normally for powers such as [Resist Energies] that do have Recovery Resistance.

I didn't think of it that way before. I think you are right. Looking at it again, [Consume] does indeed reduce Endurance Drain, not Recovery Debuffs. I don't think that stat is listed in the Combat Attributes anywhere. Endurance Discounts are not displayed either.

Actually, Friday night is even better for me than Saturday night. This week, I have to work early Sunday morning. It's easily manageable, but getting to sleep early once in a while can't hurt. haha

Sorry, I temporarily deleted the picture to refresh it with a new version containing the EB and Monster Endurance. It should be fine now if you refresh it.

As for the Recovery rate, these are the results when I used the Mk Power Analyser on a Monster:


It looks like they might have the same base rate we do, but because of their higher value, it's significantly more end/sec.


I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this. I could be wrong, but I was under the impression the added Inherent power for enemies was a Ranged power that only applied to AE custom enemies. I think the reason for this was that people could create foes with only Melee powers and Immobilize them while attacking them at Range with no threat.

It might vary by mob type and/or level then because I was trotting through Sharkhead and RWZ verifying random mobs before I posted that. Every minion I saw showed as having 100 endurance. The LTs showed 140, and Bosses were 200.

Edit:
I just took another run through various lvl foes and recorded the numbers:


I didn't find any minions with only 80 Endurance, but it looks like there is some slight variation at the lower levels, so anything is certainly possible. Either way, the point stands. LTs and Bosses have higher Endurance than players do, and EB/Monsters significantly moreso.

A level 50 does get the power, because Turg claimed it on his level 50 when we were testing it last week.

Our only guess is that it could act as a brief "get out of debt now" button so that you will still earn INF if you die while EX'd. Granted, you could log off and have the debt removed naturally over time, but if you are in a TF or something and planned on using that character for a while, you might as well earn INF while you are doing it.

That said, because of it's limited uses, it's probably only worth it if the team you are on is wiping constantly and you accumulated a lot of debt. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense to waste it on a single death that would be paid off in minutes anyway.

Also, the power still fires off and wastes the charge if you are a level 50 with no debt.

Check your Temporary Powers list. It only has 5 charges, so it's listed as a Temp, unlike the other Veteran powers that are Inherent.

The power icon looks like this:
Experienced

Hopefully it's just as simple as looking in the wrong group. If not, I'm sure the petition will clear it up for you.

On my kin, I regularly drain their Endurance to nothing and they have to wait for a point or two to recover before using one of their week attacks. At least it prevents them from using their larger ones.. most of the time.

But as mentioned, they can Recover quickly sometimes, and it only takes those few points to get another shot off.

The thing that sucks the most about it is that enemies usually have more Endurance than we do. I think minions have 100 like we do (at base), but Bosses have twice that much, and EBs and AVs may even double that too.

Actually, there are a few hundred there if you consider what the second picture is made up of.

The sooner you upgrade, the sooner those restrictions will be lifted. Don't worry, you wont lose the remaining free time from the trial.

and Welcome!

Oops. No problem. *changes my note above.

On the other hand, I love Doc Buzzsaw's arc as well. I might have gone that way instead if I thought of it at the time.

I checked this last night when I saw this thread, and it certainly does not show any changes in the Combat Attributes at all. There are a number of things the Combat Attributes actually don't display correctly, so it's possible this may be one of them, but I didn't get a chance to test if the Recovery Resistance was actually working behind the scenes.

Both the Brute and Controller versions act the same way.

We took it a little slower and finished at around 26 minutes. We would have earned the Gold badge, but I only set it for Bronze for some reason. Then we moved on to Ouro and went through Pilgrim's Arc. We picked up the Jail Bird exploration badge and earned 187/200 credit for Shivans.

Thanks to everybody for coming. See you next week for Mender Tesseract!

The limit also applies to loading bind files. Anything after character 255 in each line is just truncated, which can severely screw up a set of binds if they were made too long.

Even before the event actually started, I expected that it would last until the next downtime after Halloween... or at least not for several hours after the announced time. I've never seen an event end on time. haha
