Necrotech_Master

its like your basic DoT attack, once it hits you it will start DoTing till it finishes

if the attack does kill you it fully heals antimatter, if you do not die antimatter loses all his end

IIRC the time between each tick was around 2-3 seconds

so it would do -10% then -20%, then -99%, if you survived all 3 ticks antimatter would lose all end

i dont remember all the specifics, but i know if you type [disintegration] in game you can look at the stats

disintegration does -% of your hp in unresistable dmg

the first 2 ticks are fairly weak (around -10% and -20%) but the final tick is -99% of your hp

so if you have 2000 hp the final tick will hit you for like -1980 dmg so if you are not being healed while it is going off, you WILL die

the phantom buff pet has adrenaline boost and single target heals for you

the storm elemental buff pet has o2 boost plus hurricane for -30% tohit on thw baddies

vanguard buff pet has twilight grasp so he can slightly debuff tohit and dmg while healing and has assault for more dmg

i need to look up the other pets but those were ones which i noticed that were pretty significant

i too am not happy at all with the keyes trial or the badges related to keyes trial, but the other related rewards do at least give me more reason to run trials again

when i am able to login today i already have almost 60 astrals and 20 empyreans saved up on my main specifically for buying out this new stuff (i have a few other toons with minimal banked stuff i could prolly throw in to help him lol)

hes basically saying make hurl use the game random item generator that propel uses, so he can pull whatever out of the ground

i would actually support that for more variety and because i like how propel works like that but i hate the power because of long animation time and i dont really care for gravity in general as it currently is

tl/dr IMO perma dom is the highest slotting priority on a dom because domination is just way too good lol

defense and survive ability can be a secondary slotting if you still have room in the build once you hit perma dom because once you do have perma dom you have defense in the ways of hard controls and the like

my perma earth/fire has almost no resists and 13% def to positions but i hardly ever take enough dmg to die because i can perma mag 6 stun mobs because of how much rech i have on stalagmites and perma dom

my perma mind/fire has a little more defense because he went the route of ice mastery instead of fire mastery so has about 23% smash and lethal def, but can easily lock mobs down (usually mass confuse followed by ice storm, sleet and fire breath, or mass hypnosis followed by total domination then dropped the 3 powers above) both comboes are usually done with fiery embrace for the 85% fire dmg buff so fire breath will 1 shot 3/4 of the mob depending on the enemy level

either way i can still take out the baddies in complete safety because of the mass hard controls that are mag 6 with domination up

so thats basically my opinion of perma dom vs defense soft caps for slotting

im not worried about poeple having bad alts or something, the trials design and reward structures are just very off puttting to me (sorry if this gets a little rant-like)

just today in fact i tried to do one of each trial but it took me 4 attempts

first attempt lambda-my comp lagged out right when the popup came up so i missed the trial

second lambda-i get in the trial but 10 sec into it game crashes and when i get back in they are almost done the sabotage phase, my reward is the damn threads table

first try BAF-my internet decided to flicker for 10 sec right when popup appears and dc's me, i miss the trial

second BAF, this is the only one that went without a hitch and even netted me a very rare, but the previous 4 were 3 hours worth of frustration


i mostly stopped doing the trials because every other trial it would crash on me, there is a noticeable lag increase in the trials, the rewards are off putting because they automatically dismiss poeple who crash because of the games fault and 9/10 give them the doorsitter prize even if they did help while they were there

other reasons i dislike the trials is because its too fast paced, starting one feels rushed, participating feels rushed, timers make it feel more rushed, all in all its just the pacing that turns me off of them, i HATE tf speed runs and these are basically 1 mish speed tfs

also with the keyes trial and testing it on the beta server when it was first opened to public month ago, i was instantly disgusted with it, if your not on a toon with fast charge heal or hugging the healer, you WILL die approx every 90 seconds not doing jack because of some unavoidable unresistable dmg that takes 50% or more of your hp every 30 sec. not to mention the badges are also ridiculous, one of them is for keeping antimatter at 10% or less hp for all 3 reactors which means that unavoidable unresistable dmg will be taking 90% of your hp every 30 sec (50% unresistable, 40% resistable, but that dont mean jack to squishy)

i REALLY hope that the underground trial will be better because the trials have become worse rather than better, and at first i did not mind running trials now and then, but with how the rewards are structured it is a forced grind since there are no other options except for expensive conversions

short answer is yet

cant really give a long answer since there are many roads to travel to get to that point

the best methods are global rech enhancement and membrane HOs (or equivalent +def/rech IOs), but membranes will give you the biggest bang for your buck

3 membrane HOs is ED capping defense and rech on the power (which normally cant take rech), then fill in the gap with global rech

trials have definitly slowed down lately

first 3 weeks, i ran about upwards of 6-8 trials a day

in the previous 2 weeks of today, i might have run 1-2 trials at most, while i really wanted to incarnate more of my toons out, the trials are ridiculously repetitive and i have been almost avoiding them in the last few weeks

and from what i have seen and experienced of the keyes trial, i am NOT going to like it hardly at all and will basically only run it for badges or on toons that can spam heal

the search function will only show 50 results at a time, to get the next amount of results if more than 50 you have to hist search button again without changing criteria

i believe i was around at this time, but i was trying to help a bunch of friends get an ice mistral sf together at i think the same time you were forming lol

i dont really have a lot of options for blueside stuff and was working more to lvl my ice armor tank thats redside lol

the two handed weapons, or titan weapon set, that have been referenced are basically oversized two handed weapons such as swords and the like

other thread about it here

i just wish there were more giant monster period

i like fighting giant monsters, but a majority of them are either heroside or on god awful long respawn times

i personally dislike most zone events that require too much thought, the banner event is a very good example of how NOT to do a zone event

personally i like how the praetorian zone events were done
