I don't like the nerf part but I can certainly understand why.

I guess one thing that is being overlooked is the actual damage potential of a brute.

That's one thing mid's doesn't cover: the use of reds

I have some macros setup to convert inspirations into reds. When I am mobbed up insp drops regularly, showering the reds upon my brutecake of destruction.

It's the use of those reds for that damage potential that makes the "nerf" not so noticeable.

I think it's an even trade.

I have no idea how the glasses are getting dirty while you're wearing them though.

The build does have one purple set, Coercive Persuasion, because it is both on the cheaper side and gives 5% ranged defense. This build is pretty good for a mostly non-purple one.

Back in the recent beta I made the post about wanting stalker changes and he reposted his response in the live forums. For some reason the devs are seriously out of tune as to what the game problems actually are. He thought one of stalkers main problems was shared aggro on teams when actually thats like the very least of our concerns. I know in that thread pretty much everyone said that was the last thing stalker players worry about. Our issue is the lack of AoE and not having single target damage strong enough to warrant giving up said AoE and certain defensive powers.

So unless we get a stalker revamp that either gives back all the missing powers or they raise stalker and blaster melee mods (yes blasters dont do enough damage to justify their squishieness too) to the point way above scrappers and give them the real build up instead of the watered down version all the other classes get, I dont see stalkers ever really benefiting the team. Some would aggro the stalker team crit buff fixed this but to me it made the problem even more noticeable. Stalker only really see a benefit if there is a melee heavy team, but if you already have melee damage why do you need a stalker in the first place? This is why I felt the buff should have been what the old sidekick range was so that stalkers could always benefit from it no matter the team composition and at the same time keep stalkers from wondering off from the team getting themselves kill.

• I try to explain to players that completing a task force or event will net the equivelent of 4 shards, either directly through the Hamidon, or indirectly through specific incarnate salvage.
• I try to explain to players that if the defeats per second is constant, then they will defeat the same number of enemies in each TF, and thus have equal chances to obtain shard drops.
• I try to explain that fighting more archvillains or Hero's net higher chances for shard drops.

And... it's like I'm talking to a brick wall. No I'm not going to go find that picture I love to post of the brick wall.

I've actually had somebody tell me that the only task forces they run are LGTF and ITF, they won't do anything else so there's no reason for them to run TF's normally, and they were going to Fram Fram Fram.

Seriously, if I wanted to do a Task Force where I defeated everything that moved, I'd go do a Dr. Quarterfield.

There's a REASON "nobody" runs Dr. Quarterfield on a regular basis. It's BORING. Whacking the same enemy over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, isn't fun. Well, not to me. I'm sure there's some frammer out there that would love to argue on that point.

Anyways, I don't understand the O.M.G. I must get incarnate slotted NAO attitude. The next batch of incarnate stuff probably won't be hitting until January at the earliest, so what's the point in rush, rush, rushing the stuff today? Neverminding that the Incarnate TF's, specifically the Director 11 fight, really seem to be balanced against having more Incarnate Buffs than are currently available in game.

I really don't understand the purpose of making an Alpha-slot enhancement, just to make an enhancement. I see no reason to waste resources on making a cardiac boost when I'm looking at the spiritual tree.

So, sorry, can't explain it to you, I don't understand it either.

I think the poster just chose a poor subject for the post. He just wanted to be able to tank an AV.
