voltaic sentinal does not stack fyi

its listed in the weekly tf thread here

nice to see some new poeple on victory

im only on the redside of tings usually so cant hel you with sg if your bluesie, but i run a very friendly redside sg

i should never open this thread again because it made me want to eat more bacon lol

and something interesting i actually did have a bacon pancake last week (well more specifically a bacon chocolate chip pancake lol)

all hail bacon!!!

the zombie set is not that weak, and the special power that set gets, soul extraction, isnt exactly bad either

the idea your showing though would be really neat, but i dont know how it would work if implemented.

i think the easiest way to implement something like this is just include a "confuse" effect on all the zombies brawl attacks, which would simulate infecting the opponent

of course that would have to be short duration and or low mag since they would stack it easy

after re-reading it, it does seem kind of odd for all the times to be PM (from past patches im sure the maint window took place at exact same times in AM)

im not going to discount the possible typo or mistype (as it has happened before)

but even if those times are correct, ill be in class during almost that entire downtime window anyway, so mistype or not, it wont matter to me much lol

almost anything from dean macarther lol

"you and dean share an intense high five" lol

ive seen this happen a few times on my dom with fire mastery

the enemies can get in maybe 1 attack before the untouchable kicks in, ive never died right after rezzing with it, but i have noticed a few baddies pop in a few attacks before the untouchable kicks in

i originally thought the pylons did absolutely nothing, but i recently learned that the only thing the pylons do is give hami a untouchable status, so you cant hurt him but he can still shoot poeple

so basically the pylons just have to be taken down before hami, doesnt matter if its before, after, or during the mitos

if you confuse rommy he just attacks and kills the nictus so they dont even matter lol

gratz on accomplishing this, although once you get the process down its not too hard lol

the fastest MoITF me and my friend have done is 1:34 (thats with lvl shifted toons though), i think 2-2.5 hours was our average usual run pre i18

i would throw my vote in for getting rid of the end crash, the -recov portion is fine, and is basically how em pulse and emp arrow work

both of which use ONLY -recov and not and end crash for the awesome stuff that they can do (-1000% regen and hold are both really good)

if nukes got changed to only -recov, then i would actually think about taking nukes, but as is, they are not worth it in my book, very long rech and killing your end is just not worth it in the long run (it gets especially annoying if you run lots of toggles)

my main will always be my ninja/dark mm since hes also my badge toon

but out of my other 35 toons, i have about 4 or so toons which are really awesome that i like

my ill/cold is an awesome tough target killer

my earth/fire dom is an awesome crowd control and massive dmg output

and my dark/stone brute can tank just about anything

i would have to say no since its only +regen and not an actual heal

i also use SOs until the upper lvls because they are just overall faster, i usually start them at 22 and if i get every 5 levels i usually dont have problem of the combination screen, but if i let it go, then the combining gets extremely annoying

so /signed to getting rid of the screen for combining

i pretty much agree with everything you stated here

maybe instead of the fire snipe doing a DoT (so it can still be used to pull) maybe do a -dmg or demoralize type thing (like assassin strikes)

as for the nukes though, i absolutely hate the end crash, and i pretty much avoid any nuke that has an end crash (except for blizzard because i dont have to be right smack in the middle of a mob to use it), ive never really had a lot of issue with the dying before the nuke finishes (except sometimes in the case of hail of bullets or rain of arrows which have absurdly long animation, one of which i need to be right in the mob, but those dont have crashes either so i use them more)

time bomb isnt too too bad, but i agree on fast moving teams its kind of useless, the only time ive found use for it is on ship raids when everyone is clustered into the bowl anyway, the interrupt is still a problem though

gun drone...needs improvment. i trioed playing 3 /device blasters because i like the idea of gun drone and i like the pets and stuff, but everytime i got to gun drone, i just deleted the toon because gun drone is just insanely pathetic compared to other pets, elec blast voltaic sentinel is better than gun drone. my suggestion for gun drone is to make it similar to voltaic sentinel, but increase the duration and rech to double, no interrupt time, reduce end cost, but leave the gun drone as targetable

battle maidens halberd strike during the 2nd phase after she comes back is enough to nearly 1 shot any squishy, tougher ATs might be able to survive a little, but even my stone brute couldnt survive more than 2 sec inside of the 2nd phase halberd

the first phase one is quite weak though and barely even dents my brute though and most of my squishys can survive it long enough to get out

even at the stealth cap they can see you, stalkers in hide get seen by the drones

the only way to really stealth by them is smoke grenades which do -percep or confuse them so they wont even aggro on you
