  1. according to the wiki the form empowerment ATO for khelds grants the following:

    normal:
    3% dmg resist (human form)
    9% dmg buff (nova form)
    80.25 max hp (dwarf form)

    superior:
    5% dmg resist (human form)
    13.5% dmg buff (nova form)
    107 max hp (dwarf form)
  2. on my ill/cold i went with the agility alpha since that benefits me the most (rech, end mod, defense), and i have reactive for more -resist and DoT

    i can confirm this is how it works, when i solo ITFs the spawns are usually only set for 2
  4. all of my toons claim personal vet items usually as soon as they are created which is before i can get them into my sg

    you shouldnt lose any personal items that you havent placed when leaving a sg, you only lose the items that you HAVE placed iirc

    huh, i dont remember shadowmeld being that purple colored, when i last used it was almost solid black for me, and i feel like i looked more like a dark armor guy with the cloak of darkness or dark servant without all his aura stuff going on

    as i mentioned earlier though the last i used this was when epic pools first got their 5th power

    An additional 13.5% Smash/Lethal and 9% Energy resist (before any enhancement, if Tomax is to be believed) will stack nicely with the Bots' bubbles, Steamy Mist, and Combat Jumping.
    the only resist that scorp shield offers is toxic resist

    it should have smash, lethal, and energy defense with energy defense being slightly lower than the other 2

    that im not sure of, can other attuned enhances be slotted as long as they are within 3 lvls of the min?
  9. slow enhances enhance the -speed portions of the powers

    say your power does -75% movement speeds, with enhances that can easily push up to -125% movement speeds, which will drop them to the minimum faster and be more effective on stronger targets which have more slow resist

    it does not increase the duration of the slow, just the strength of the slow

    i think most ranged ATs also have the choice of frozen armor from the frozen mastery APP but it requires more power picks and offers slightly less defense coverage

    to the OP, most poeple choose scorp shield because it only requires 1 power pick over frozen armor needing 2 power picks with the first power pick usually being a waste. the other reason poeple pick scorp shield is because they dont like the graphics on the frozen shield, and frozen shield only offers defense to smash and lethal while scorp shield also offers energy def
  11. i have a feeling that black hole is eventually gonna get the dimension shift treatment and then they will end up removing intangibility enhances from the game since come i22 it will be the only power in the entire game that actually can use intangibility enhances
  12. in game there are tool tips for each trial that explain the story behind the trial and the league size required for it, it does not explain difficulty though like level shifted AVs and such though

    Are you aware that if people quit the team, the spawn sizes will adjust downward? At the most extreme, you could have all but two people quit and the missions will spawn for a team of two. (If the second-to-last person quits, the task force disbands.)

    Now, two might not be enough for you to take down some of the AV's, but I would think that the right 3 or 4 characters could do it and the rest of the task force would go a lot faster.
    cant really do that with the shard tfs, faathim tf for example has at least 7 mishs with 4 person simul click glowies and none of them ever spawn close enough to grab 2 with the same character
  14. i believe you can use a mish drop on them, i sometimes do that if im too lazy to run to them if i do get to one of those mishs
  15. on my elec/energy guy i usually do a BU->LR->thunderstrike to get a crit with thunderstrike

    as reason i say he hits hard is that he has a lot of autohit stuff as well as some pretty hefty debuffs

    as for only having 1 VIP account that should be more than enough though, clearing spawns around him is not hard and one they are dead dont have to worry about them again

    as long as you have some debuffers in your entourage of toons, then you should be fine

Whyyyyyyyyyy does every single character have to go talk to the Hero Corps Analyst? Whyyyyyyyy does every single character need to learn about PVP? Those are meta game concepts and should only need to be done ONCE, because after doing it once, the player's meta game information has been filled in.
    oh yeah those, i almost forgot about them since i rarely run any arcs till i get my toons in the 20s, by then they have bypassed most of that junk (and no i dont do DFBs either, just standard PLing lol)

    but sure why not, i could still get behind removing these mishs or relocating them into the new intro arcs since it would make more sense for them to be there
  18. would be fine with me, i got them on my badger and ive never run them on any other toon cause i dislike them so much

    the xp gains from all of the arcs are terrible, and i especially hate the shining stars (characters and arcs relating to them)
  19. i didnt solo a faathim tf but i know i did do a faathim tf with only 5 poeple before

    lanaruu is really a pushover now with incarnate abilities (he still hits pretty hard though)

    this is not true for all of them

    the mm ATO has +rech in the 4th set bonus slot (this is only one i know of that is at the 4th slot, this set bonus also is only 7.5% rech not 8.75% like the other ATOs)

    the corr ATO has rech in the 6th set bonus slot (dont remember if there were others like this)

    most of the other ones have it in the 5th set bonus slot though

    that shouldnt be an issue, according to feedback threads in beta the alignment tokens are supposed to work anywhere, regardless of zone, so you could be a hero in PI then all the sudden shift to villain while still in PI

    as to if that actually works or not could be a possibility as to why it wouldnt let him claim the token in nerva
  22. well im assuming "as soon as possible" since they are attuned and work from lvl 10 to 50

    you will never outlevel them, they will increase effectiveness as you level, pretty much no downside to slotting them really early

    /agree with this, i forgot about that power, and would advise skipping it unless your teaming a lot

    Besides - lets say you have three normal, three upgraded to purple levels, and they work together for set bonuses...

    Do you get 8.75, 10, or 18.75% recharge bonus?
    i would guess yes if you any of the ATO sets had rech as the 3 slot bonus, but i think most of them are in the 4,5,6 slot bonus spots
  25. its highly useful on pets, +dmg always helpful and the +tohit is especially good when your fighting tougher baddies

    its more useful than if you were trying to solo a /therm corr lol
