I really like the idea of sonic, res buffs and debuffs - even if they could be higher - are always helpful. The thing is, it's such a boring set to play because it doesn't offer anything else. It would be nice if they made it more of a grab bag set, like Thermal. -
Quote:I think you'll find that most people around here can read a full post and form an opinion based on its merit regardless of the tl,dr responses. Number of posts doesn't really weigh in as there are a ton of "build my post count" games on these forums. Unfortunately (for you imo), the person who posted the "stopped reading" at that point was correct. FF is not OP and honestly never has been. There is a reason it is a fringe defender set. The over the top claim that FF is OP and Sonic doesn't match up really weakened your original post.Originally Posted by Muse to my Ears
Yes but both people have tons of forum credit so others might think that they have more of an opinion than me who only has a small amount. Even though i've been playing for a few years, I just never really posted much until this year

Hey all,
In Mids, you can have both the wolf spider and the crab frag grenade. I thought if you picked the crab version you could not have the wolf version and vice-versa... can a crab actually have two frag grenade powers?

No wait... the poor n00b is me. Give me some inf?
BTW, Misaligned, your Guide: Low Level, Low Risk, Inf Making! Make Money While you Sleep! is fantastic and works like a charm +4andabitmillion inf in 2 days. The market has changed since I last had a chance to play it (I was away from the game for about a year or so), but following your guide has given me a decent the nest-egg to get back into the swing of things. -
Yeah, don't know where I'd fit hasten in, but it would really help with my build-up too. The attacks cycle nicely at lvl 17, but buildup is slow to recharge. Right now she kicks *** in a big way, surprising really but with buildup I can 1-shot a red con Lt on an AS. Followup sweep, and two weeny db attacks (power slice/nimble) allow me to pick off an orange con minion before it can stand back up. My only problem is the three orange con minions (especially COT ghosts) in a spawn.

I agree. War mace *feels* smashier than any other set (at least early on). looking forward to seeing how far this one goes for me Brutes seem to run outa gas for me early 20's. But this guy is /shield so he has holes that will need to be filled and won't feel invincible all the time like my /wp guys do. He'll just be smashtastic. That and with ninja run I can get to the next spawn before a tick of fury comes off

Hey all,
I don't see much of anything regarding EA stalkers. I'm giving one a try and would like some insight from those of you who've done 'em. I have the ma booster pack so am going without travel power, I'll pick up flight packs and temp travel powers to get by where ninja run won't.
Here's the build so far for power picks and planned slot selection without I/Os in place, they'll come later as time goes on.... Anything glaring you can see?

Is there a compiled list of emotes and power commands that come with the booster packs somewhere?

By "a lot", do you mean "all"?

Quote:No, it is indeed the positive energy on the proc that is lighting it. My comment was specifically in response to the "all those ta/dark" comment. And it is very worthwhile to have the origin as a backup too. The damage you crank out as a ta/dark (with procs) is significant enough that you can use the oil slick just for its sweet sweet kd. When it lights it is a great bonus; I personally find that it lights quite reliably this way though. I very rarely have the patch not light (light bugs not withstanding)Originally Posted by Schismatrix
Still not the same as the negative energy lighting oil slicks, but it does make the combo more workable. Also, by that standard you could be using Ice Blast to light Oil Slick by slotting the proc into its AoE's.
Still, i'd rather make sure i had an origin power as backup than counting on a proc to work every time i need the slick lit. Faster cycle time and all that.
Another option is sonic does energy/smashing if you want your attacks to light it without a proc, ta/son should be able to do it. TA/Rad should too, a lot of their attacks are energy based. -
Quote:Procs. You'd be surprised how often the "chance of energy" damage hits and lights 'er up if you have it in TT. I have it in TT and NightFall on mine and just shoot in the vicinity of the Oil slick. I do have the origin power for backup when they don't work after a couple shots though.Originally Posted by Trickshooter
Negative energy doesn't light it, actually. It would make a lot of those TA/Dark Defenders I keeep hearing about happy if it did, though.

So, I've rolled up a mind/stone who is a single target *BEAST*. Domination+PowerBoost = nothing going unheld (so far )
What level do you doms who mostly solo crank the difficulty? What settings do you go with? -
I find mine fun, although the combo seems to be slow blooming
-
I'd start with dropping the difficulty of the mobs - blues die faster than yellows and 2 blue is more xp than one yellow. Then I'd bump the number of villains you're equal to. Start with 3 or 4, see how you do, bump it up as high as you can go. More blue mobs is more expees.
The higher levelled mobs are more fun to fight, because they last long enough to fight back, but they're not better for xp over time. -
I've never waited for stamina for EF - it is a great toggle. Of course, I'm not afraid to turn it off if I'm running out of endurance but not health...
-
Yes, and it happens when you go into the bank in mahem missions (KR for sure) as well... annoying.

You must be on the ground to START the toggle. Once you've got it going, feel free to take off.
[/ QUOTE ]
Will it continue to do damage when you're not on the ground? I was under the impression that it does not, in which case flying around with Hot Feet is just pointlessly draining your end.
[/ QUOTE ]
It will continue to do damage while you're flying. You need to be on the ground to START the power, after that you're golden. -
Sorry Largo, not even close to the same as TA/Fire. Fire/Devices with a ton of I/O's would be a "little" closer but still doesn't touch what TA/Fire would be.
-
I'd roll a TA/Fire in a heartbeat.

The healing arrow does this

Embrace the altaholism
My new fav character is The Boomtown Brat, a TA/Dark Blast defender - she's procalicious - I have procs in almost everything and they're constantly going off. It is funny to hit a mob with entangling arrow and have the chance of lethal fire off. The smashing damage in glue arrow and OSA are nice too.
