I don't believe this will be true until I20, however. -
Quote:i always slot caltrop like powers with dmg and rech, usually using it as a posi blast set holder and including the proc stacks up dmg nicely, at higher rech i can have 3 of these out adding DPSOriginally Posted by Lobster
74d/17rech/16end/3s - thorn burst
71d/20rech/18end/1.97s - psi shockwave
69d/22rech/20end/2.67s - ice sword circle
76d/17rech/16end/3s - combustion
64d/20rech/18end/2.5s - whirling hands
58d/18rech/17end/3.3s - tremors
I'm not sure you how get that thorn burst is a "bad" power. Yes, it has a long-ish animation time, but compared to the other dom pbaoes, it's pretty damn good. Hell, tremor has a longer animation time, longer recharge & less damage and I use that one all the time too. It sounds like it just doesn't fit your playstyle.
Also, I would say that thorndrops is not a damage power. It's extra control. If you're just looking at mids, that 127 base damage looks high...but that's over 45 or so seconds. For comparison, ice storm (epic) is 175 over 15s. Extra control is a good thing for ice too, since it's a little lacking compared to everything except grav.
I agree that the redraw can get annoying, but I don't have much issue with it on this particular combo... yet
. Maybe it will kick in later.
i really dislike powers that have low dps, i have combustion on my earth/fire dom but i never use it because animation time is abyssmal and the dmg is meh, even with an obliteration set in it, i get better dps out of blaze, fire breath, fire ball, and rain of fire (as well as the safety of fighting at range and around corners)
out of all the powers you listed, i dont think i ever really used any of them except as set mules, the only ones i would prolly actually use would be tremor since it has knockdown/back for good mitigation, but it would be unlikely
i really want to like thorn assault, but i just cant stand the redraw -
the best advice i can give about the thorns is that i would avoid spine burst as that as an abominable cast time and i would grab up thorntrops since that will increase your dps by a good amount
i used to have a ice/thorn dom, couldnt get him to 30 though, the thorn powers are really neat, but i absolutely cant stand the constant redraw, as for the rest of it, i cant really help with since i cant stand the redraw, but if you want to use it, more power to you and hope that my 2 cents helped -

Apparently it's common enough that Robot Chicken or was it Family Guy included it in one of thier skits. With the Cap'n angrily staing "And my cereal does not cut the top of your mouth!"

Solo Apex. Now there's a challenge.from the pics i saw, the solo apex was completed by a fire/cold dom corrQuote:Originally Posted by ultrawatt
Mind/fire could prolly do that, would need LOTs of temps and insp though. But im not sure of BMs confuse protection and res though, if thats same as your average AV i think it would be doable. She really isnt that hard, its just thats shes 54, and the blue patchs which some people have a hard time with.

well a reason hero/vigilante wasnt working and rogue/villain was working is because they use 2 seperate ouroboros
if other heros/vigilantes are not experiencing the same thing, then im not really sure what the issue is
but i know most of time this case is due to a zone crashing for one reason or another -
which server are you on? and it sounds like the whole zone crashed

Quote:it does show up in the combat info window like for exampleOriginally Posted by TheUnnamedOne
Ooooooh, so it's a Proc! That makes sense why it doesn't show in the normal places. So it wouldn't modify the damage numbers then, it would actually add an extra one.
I wonder why the Devs never put that info in the Power Info screens like all the other powers.
Hmm, now I wonder if it shows up in the "Combat" chat window...
Thanks for the info!!!
you jab the opponent for X points of smashing dmg (without fiery embrace)
you jab the opponent for X points of smashing dmg and X points of fire dmg (with embrace)
i dont know if thats exactly how it says it, but it will show up in the window -
LGTF is hard, managed to duo it with my friend, the mitos and hami have mag 500 confuse protect, and yes the honoree is basically a statesman clone but without super strength and all his cheap stuff
ITF and LRSF are the easiest to solo with a mind dom, ive seen a ill/cold troller solo the STF and fire/cold corr solo apex tf -
the tower buffed recluse i do not think you can do at all in AE, not even sure of a way to simulate it except by creating a guard mob consisting entirely of buff bots that do nothing but buff everything
the AV in LRSF one i think you might be able to do if you had a map with a lot of really close spawn spots for boss objectives -
i have a dark/kin and i dont really care for it atm, might reroll him as something else
i have also tried archery/kin and i really liked that one, but i deleted him cause he was a defender, no scourge and i also deleted him when archery became avail to use on corrs
the combos that i have seen work well are fire/kin, rad/kin, dual pistol/kin, archery/kin, and ice/kin
basically anything with a lot of aoe dmg will really net you good synergy with kin -
ive enjoyed the sneak peeks as well, it gives me a chance to taste the upcoming content and look at the detailed info so i can plan for when it goes live
however that little taste of something awesome is making me too excited and anxious for it and i must have it nao!! -
you can queue up for the first one available
and i think the queue will be alright, since you can still pre-form the team before entering a queue, so you can get the required amount of poeple before even starting the trial then entering queue as a whole league and just do the trial with a team that you know what the outcome will be -
ive been hearing reports that this bug occasionally still happens, but i havent personally had it happen to me in almost 2 years now
-
fiery embrace adds a 100% proc for fire dmg on all of your attacks, i think the amount of dmg it adds is relative to the powers current dmg
in any case it still essentially lets you bypass the dmg cap lol -
APPs are automatically unlocked for all toons at lvl 41, so when you lvl and choose an epic set, the mastery sets will always be listed
-
oh the hilarious puns throughout the game lol

after rolling graphics driver back to 260.99, this didnt really do anything for me to fix the contact image problem
i reapplied the newer update and there is virtually no difference between how frequently the contact images are breaking, the breaking just seems random, sometimes i log in a toon and get no problems, other times i log in a toon and they are instantly broken, sometimes i log in and they are working initially but later in my play session they break
since this problem only seems to be an issue when im talking to contacts, as long as im not leading a tf theres no problems really, hopefully nvidia will come out with another update which might help fix this, and if that doesnt work then it would have to be something unstable within the game -
Quote:nope it has not been changed, the detailed info text should be only smash and lethal, but is listed as all for some reasonOriginally Posted by Dragonhide
As I'm leveling through some Going Rogue arcs, I saw that Tough (fighting power pool) for a tanker gave 15% resistance "to all damage on self."
Huh? Thought that was just a smash/lethal resist toggle. Is this just a typo? Or was this power buffed, and I missed the memo?
15% resist to all damage is almost too good to be true. -
in one of the threads about the security update, Zwillinger posted that if you did have concerns about your account not being eligible, you should PM him about it and he would do his best to fix it
-
a lot of these things have been suggested before, most have been knocked down for various reasons
stuff that has definitly been said NO to:
- recipe storage for bases (to prevent hoarding)
- water control (due to limits of the game engine)
- apartments (because we already have sg bases which we can decorate)
- staff melee type stuff
the only one which would be the most likely would be a mm primary using pets with doppelganger tech which is more feasible now, but would still take a lot of work to make -
i must be the opposite or something, im really glad i have something to do with my 50s now and i absolutely cannot wait for the new incarnate stuff
pre GR most of my non 50s were pretty much only existed because my current 50s had nothing to do
now that i do have something to do with my 50s, ive given about 6 of them respecs and actually started to IO them out and while doing so ive gotten shards and had a lot of fun especially being lvl shifted, and with the new incarnate powers down the road i cant wait for it
ive always disliked the lowbie lvls so i usually PL my toons to the 30s, run them for awhile, then PL them instead of running mishs, i do tfs with them too, but not common for me to do lowbie tfs -
well rolling back my graphics driver seemed to mostly fix the contact image issue, still get the solid black box occasionally
the older graphics driver does also kind of make lag spikes in a few other areas, but on a whole it seems to have improved for now
i guess ill just have to wait till the next version of drivers is out to see if that will work better than the current version thats out
edit: this didnt completely solve the problem, but it makes the broken images happen much less frequently -

What drivers/what card? I was having a similar issue with the latest ATI drivers on my 5570, downgrading to Catalyst 10.9 (I...think?) fixed it.
driver version is 266.58
i do have a slightly older version of the drivers i could try to roll back to and see if that helps, but i will have to wait to try later tonight -
Quote:well i did a quick check on graphics drivers and im all up to date on those, last i updated those was in january and there havent been any new drivers since thenOriginally Posted by Irish Fury
My buddy had the exact same issue, and updating the driver for his graphics card was all it took to fix it. Here's hoping your issue is that simple!
