Well, yes, SoA's can double up their team buffage using Leadership. Do alot of them do that? And what are they giving up to do so? 5 or 6 slots devoted to team buffage (adding together SoA toggles and leadership toggles) is indeed nice, but you are trading off something else to get those leadership toggles...

I'm saying that a Kheld effectively *isn't* trading off anything to get Leadership toggles, since they get two extra slots more that other AT's to use at they see fit, because they have inate Travel powers they don't have to waste slots on. And while their Leadership buffage isn't as strong as an SoA's, the Kheld is bringing more to the table personally because she's getting buffed out the wazoo from her team.

Finally, I'm not really saying Khelds equal SoA on teams, but I am suggesting it could be a lot closer if more Khelds took leadership. That doesn't happen that much, though, because of Form Detoggling and because there's so many other powers that Khelds want. My Human PB, however, is buffing her teams constantly thru Leadership.

Pretty much every SoA I see at level 50 have at least one power from the leadership pool. I myself on my Bane have Assault and Maneuvers, and would have fit in Vengeance or Tactics if I could have, but sadly, I just had to have a travel power. *grumble*

If you are going for a straight teaming build, the extra slots, power picks from the Leadership pool are very worth it.

I saw a pure Wolf with all the TT powers AND the Leadership powers. I didn't know whether to cry at the awesomeness or at the gimpyness of his build.

Martial Arts- Pretty much what everyone said. The buffs it got helped, but I still feel it is underperforming compared to the other sets. It's better on scrappers.

Devices-It's a fun concept set, full of neat toys. But the lack of BU and the setup time hurts. The Gun Drone is alright, I just hate having to respawn it every minute.

Psi Blast for Blasters- I got one to lvl 41,then shelved him. Was painful. My Fire/EM blaster does better ST and AoE. Although, Psi was more survivable.

Fire Armor- I think it is better on a Scrapper personally than a Tank or Brute, which generally are seen on teams to tank and take aggro. Scrappers just flip out and kill stuff, which FA helps with the mass slaughtering.

Electric Armor-Low resists,no defense, and no regen/HP bonus on a low HP AT? lolwut? It's better on brutes, more HP to back up the resists. It could still use a buff Bruteside though.

Poison for MMs get a mention as well.

It's a awesome soloing/small team/AV/PvP secondary, but for big teams, its lacking. The trap the crap, the hold is meh, and if you solo alot with this secondary(which you probably should) the Rez and Antidote are pretty much useless. Antidote I can see taking solo though, protects your pets from holds and whatnot.

The Rez power is pretty fun though, its funny watching your fellow teammates hurl up their breakfast.

So, anyone want to do some puzzles or something?

I can bring the cookies.

An inopportune handclap messes up the group.

I can agree with you on most parts I think, but the handclap is bad? They changed it to KD instead, so no more knocking them back. Now it just stuns, which is nice.

Don't worry Freedomites will be flocking to the forums to whine that they can't play because Freedom is greyed out.

[/ QUOTE ]


I'm already working on my "WHY CANT I PLAY! THIS IS SO UNFAIR!!!111!!" speech when it hits and Freedom is greyed out.

Cya then!

[ QUOTE ]
Nope, definitely not. I still love freedom. I don't mind farming myself, and there's still plenty of people on freedom to run normal teams with if you go looking.

Pretty much this, All my major toons are on Freedom. I think the highest toon on another server is a lvl 21 PB.

WP.

Necro/Poison-Most recent MM and a blast to solo.
Necro/Dark-Fun to play and tears through mobs.
Thugs/Storm-Awesome, need I say more?

MMs in general are awesome for me.

I took it on my Zombie/Dark. Useful with the Dark Servant and the Lich spamming theirs.


With just you, the hold is ok, good for stopping an annoying LT or minion. But with the DS and Lich, you can lock down pretty much anything, if they use it at the same time, that is.

No more responses because there is nothing more to add.

Lies!











But I'll go with it anyway.

Sorry I didn't respond right away, been gone for a few days, just now getting back.

5 days and only one response?


Thanks Strider, at least someone cares

I finally got my hands onto a Achilles Heel Chance for resistance debuff. It seems they have become much rarer recently, I remember having bucket loads of them, and them being a dime a dozen on the market. Luckily my Thugs/Storm had an extra.


Anyway...


On my Necro/Poison, I am curious on which would be the best place for this. The first choice would be Envenom, but I have the same IO on my Grave Knights on my Necro/Dark, and I have seen them place it on mobs quite reliably.

I was thinking that the GK would be the best place, as there are two of them, and the mainly use the sword attacks(with occasional dark blasts), but I could be quite wrong.

Any advice?

I'd still pick Pummel over it, just because it has an awesome sound effect, and a nice stun to boot.

Whats the back of my gun taste like?

*whack*

Kinda off topic...



But I lol'ed at xCHAOSx2 picture, its really funny.


Pow right in the kisser!

You're overusing your controls. Alternate between Stalagmites and Earthquake for groups, keeping Volcanic Gasses in reserve. Note that critters don't need to be controlled 100% of the time for you to be doing your job. You do great work by negating alpha strikes and controlling spawns when they're at their worst--fully massed and all of them still alive.

[/ QUOTE ]


This.

I use Volcanic Gasses either when theirs a whole lot of mobs, like when you aggro another group, or an ambush happens.

Aw sweet!

I'd join the SG just for the cookies

I don't have a problem with AE. I haven't done a AE missions in weeks, but I always get tells for them.

My problem is the new people who just play AE without doing all the other content in the game. The contacts,SF,paper missions, street sweeping, etc etc.


A couple days ago I helped a low level corrupter who followed his friend to Cap to do some AE missions(I don't know if they farmed or not, just my gut feeling.). He got lost, and was asking people at the BM to help him get back to Mercy. I teleported him to the chopper that goes to Mercy, he thanked me, and he went off on his own.

I like the AE, it has great potential for the game. It is the first MMO(that I know of) that has the ability to make your own missions and content. Just has some kinks to be beaten out of it, and I think the devs will work it out eventually.


So, who wants some cookies? *has a plate full of em*

I can bring the snickerdoodles.

Something new:
Unyielding difficulty can spawn Bosses in the +1 spawn points for a solo character (The +2 spawns are too small for this). This might be the case for tenacious too.

All I have to say is, Awesome!

[/ QUOTE ]


I for one like this.

Makes soloing a bit more interesting.

The foot sounds on tarmac and cement are alright, needs some work IMO.

The water sounds great.

The grass sounds awesome.


The door sounds like you smushed a baby bird in the hinge of it.
I cringe every time I hear it.

I didn't notice what IO it was, but it sucks.


I'm hoping they fix it if it is a bug.

I hope Nin never gets Proliferated to another AT. It's the only secondary built with stalkers in mind.

Unlike another secondary...

Although it would be pretty epic on scrappers.

hmm, I will check that out then.

Anyone else notice that you can't mouse-over a recipe and see its stats? Working as intended? or a bug perhaps?

A Hero Mastermind presents a bit of a difficulty because they work just the opposite way: they don't treat their men like expendables, they treat them with care and dignity.

[/ QUOTE ] Zapp Brannigan would disagree. From War is the H-Word when Zapp is talking to the soldiers about the planet they are attacking:

ZAPP
It's a desolate, ugly little planet
with absolutely no natural resources

Why is this godforsaken planet worth
dying for?


ZAPP
Don't ask me, you're the one who's going
to be dying.
