Quote:that in of itself is the main cause of the angst with the lambda sector side badges (well stocked, antacid, lambda looter) because they made it so you have to deal with him like this on 3 separate runsOriginally Posted by BrandX
Ooooo...really. Now I don't feel so bad about the lethal damage!
pretty much the only way to really deal with this is a LOT of debuff and a LOT of psi dmg (as FW mentions the seer core superior ally makes this a heckuva lot easier) -
Quote:well marauder does have a slight way to get by this with his nova fist power which does unresistable dmg although it is kind of easy to avoidOriginally Posted by Rapthorn
I like Technobot Alpha's idea. As the Hero/AV gets weaker, the more damage they do. I think some form +ACC would be good too. There's no point in having +DMG if the Granite Tank (or any other defense-based set) is stood there going "Can't touch this!"
+tohit would prolly be better than capped resistances -
i agree with you that post count means about as much as vet badges in that it doesnt do anything to show how much a person knows about the game
an option to hide it or make it so only you could see it wouldnt be too bad of an idea -
ah, well then can disregard that post of mine then lol

Quote:AA is a stun set and arctic air is a confuse/slow power lolOriginally Posted by Oedipus_Tex
If you go for Ranged defense, definitely 6 slot AA with purples (and pick up endurance reduction from an incarnate ability).
Procs are good but the purple bonuses in AA are really hard to pass up... especially if they get you to perma-dom, which makes AA that much better, because it can't be detoggled.
edit: im assuming AA means absolute amazement if theres and confusion lol -
pretty much anything you like to play, or can solo well with, me and my friend are usually pretty lax when we do duo runs
if you want to do a duo something with just me, pretty much anything would work since i have plenty of toons to complement what you might bring
if you want to contact me in game my global is @Necrotech Master -
oh im sure you could prolly solo it if you can handle more than 1 AV
me and my friend so far have duo'd LRSF, MoITF, STF, DKTF, BSF, LGTF, apex tf, and 3 man'd tin mage tf using various toons lol
we only run on victory pretty much but if you make a toon over there ill be glad to duo tfs with you -
some of the dom builds that ive scrapped were ice/thorn, plant/ice, fire/earth, and grav/energy (that i can remember lol), never got any of them really past 20-30 range lol
in terms of duos, me and a friend usually duo GMs with ill/cold (myself) and him on ill/rad, drop GMs in like 2 min, can duo lusca in like 15 min with that combo lol
we usually duo tfs on my ill/cold and his mind/elec dom lol
which server do you usually run on? if your around on victory server i always like to do crazy stuff like this lol -
im fairly particular about doms though, the only doms ive gotten to 50 and enjoy playing a LOT are my mind/fire/ice and earth/fire/fire, both of them are IOd to the gills and working toward incarnate-dom
nearly solo'd my first MoITF with my mind/fire before i20 was out -
i would do option 1 for the recharge, but also because the purp confuse proc is awesome in arctic air lol
-
with the new incarnate awesomness ill try to make this
i know we are running 3 man for this, but what about difficulty settings? will we be required to run at x8? or is the default acceptable, im fine with either but a clarification would be nice to decide what i want to use for it -
commons and uncommons are fine as they currently are being free
personally i think the rare and very rare should be free anyway due to the massive amount of other stuff you need to get them
if they do require a cost though then the rare should be 20 mil and the very rare should be at most 100 mil
that or leave the rare cost as is on live with the 100 mil and remove the cost on the very rare since converting would cost 400 mil anyway to make the 4 rares if you are unlucky with drops -
before the last fix patch i was getting these errors frequently too, i tried doing repairs and verifies but it didnt help
something in the last fixed patch seemed to mostly fix it for me since i rarely get them anymore after then -
ice storm in of itself will near insta cap the -dmg from your interface, almost all rain powers are extremely powerful with any interface in them as they will hit their stack cap in around a half a second lol

Quote:i have an elec/psi dom and with just his primary and gremlins he does enough -recov in addition to the base -recov on drain psyche to completely shut down AV recoveryOriginally Posted by Infini
EDIT: before anyone chimes in on it. the recovery debuff is good at base numbers. will shut down an AV's recovery. I tested this in AE with a power analyzer. Probably not as effect for AVs with T9 powers that boost recovery, though. just wanted to toss that in there in case you elec/psi.
i was prolly gonna slot for heal to maximize the buff/debuff for regen -
from my personal experience with the system, on avg since the last fix patch for the uncommon weights, i have gotten few to no thread tables, pre that patch i actually got a heck of a lot more (on avg 1+ a day)
in the fix patch for the uncommons they must have lowered or changed the "participation" metric that is required
honestly i think what Rylas says is the truth, you cannot use a participation system because "participation" is too loosely defined and can mean literally anything since technically "participation" could mean a flawless attack chain where you never miss a beat or setting a power on auto someone else on follow and walking away for the whole trial
since the game could see both of the above as passing the "participation" metric, it doesnt do ANYTHING to prevent leechers and frustrates legitimate people when they get a thread table which atm is the "no participation/leech" prize
adding in overly complex systems does 2 things:- create more bugs
- not solve the intended problem but create additional problems for everyone else
-
the -dmg on the interface is -5% and can stack up to 4 times for a max possible of -20%
-
i had a similar idea with the spine/elec scrapper i made whenever they proliferated elec armor to scrappers
heres the build my guy is currently using, its not much different than yours but prolly a tad cheaper cause i dont use pvp IOs at all

really nice job, im personally working on an elec/psi dom which is being quite fun (my normal awesome soloer toon is ill/cold/ice troller, can solo lusca in about half an hour with him lol)

last night after my random dc costing me a reward table in BAF i joined an 8 man lambda, and the "participation" thing still does not work
at the end of the trial, the empath who was healing rezzing everything, got a thread table and the stone tank (who was the ONLY tank/brute) got threads, everyone else got a component table of varying rarity (i think 3 common, 1 uncommon, 2 rare)
how in the heck did the empath defender and stone tank manage to get threads when especially the stone tank was playing a key role in keeping marauder from 1 shotting everyone else? -
the goo itself does nothing but a small amount of -speed and +jump
hamidons and all of the mitos attacks apply a -heal on the target and the only thing to really counter that is +regen and the EoEs
also being lvl shifted does not make your heal stronger -
Quote:2-3 threads and maybe 10% on incarnate slot i dont consider progress when you need 60 threads to make even a tier 1 component or 30 threads to purchase a full unlockOriginally Posted by Memphis_Bill
Well.... that I'd have to argue with. After all, you didn't get *zero* reward. You earned IXP, got threads and - if you finished the other bits inside - Astral merits, correct?
Does the situation stink? Sure. Sorry you got DC'd. But it's no different, in that case, from crashing and not reconnecting to a TF before they finish.
Now if you want to say "The devs need to get their code straightened out to handle raids better," hey, I'm right there with ya.
i earned only the basic astral merits on the run, which was like 2-3 because we failed all the badges, i would rather give up all of what i earned to have a chance at a uncommon/rare/very rare component from the reward table since those require almost extortionate amounts of inf/threads to create
and in the case of tfs, yes i have crashed within the last 5 minutes before and i come back and i still get a reward table because i was in mish 90% of the time (ironically this could be considered a participation metric thats well defined, but it WORKS) -
just mere moments ago, my ******* internet mapserved me in a BAF when the 2 AVs were at 30% hp, i load back in and get 0 reward because they already finished the trial
the system is BROKEN because it screws poeple who were participating 90% of the trial and got 0 reward due to random internet connection lapses
this is why the trials have left a bad taste, the reward system is not fair at all -
Quote:a single stack of heat loss is just enough for me and thats when im running snow storm, frozen armor, and superior invis and spamming attacksOriginally Posted by _Pine_
Just to let you know, your not quite at the Smashing/Lethal Soft Cap. GI shows its unsuppressed defense. You really have 43.5%.
Here is a question for yall that have used this combo. Is just one target hit with HL enough +recov to not worry about end? or should I still slot some end reds in certain powers?
if im close enough to the baddy to get both, then im nearly capping end recovery right there
i think a 3 stack of the recov buff will cap my end
6 slot efficacy adapter does good in heat loss lol -
ive been in the same position several times where my ISP decided to DC me about 30 sec before the end of the trial and you get NO reward even if you were in the trial 90% of the time
trials should have the same reward system that tfs do where if you happen to dc at the end but were present 90% of it, then you will still get it
i still side with techbot, no you dont need to get a rare everytime, but getting the threads table when participating or dcing and getting nothing are just bad design
