Quote:maneuvers slotted gives roughly 6% defense which isn't bad. botz is 2 slots for 3.75(?) ranged def on top of the kb. and you'll get more damage from total focus than you would thunderstrike and you would get power build up and a shield on top of that.Originally Posted by Errant
Man, PC_Guy, you're a bundle of helpfulness. Maneuvers give little benefit, since I ain't running defense otherwise; Freeze Ray I have, and 'tween CJ/SS I've got 8 pts KB Pro, so no need for SJ, and Defender Total Focus requires 2 pre-req powers. Assault I am debating on, but viably only see it replacing Mutation.
Anyhow, thanks all for the assist, I'll tinker and let ya know how it works.
my point being, if this is actually a offender build, a defense build, even for duo'd teams, will be better at mitigation incoming aggro so that you don't need mutation at all (and then if someone does die, veng ftw). and especially with rad, its fairly easy to get around 35-40% ranged while still getting 50-60+ recharge

i'd suggest stop sucking.
they haven't changed that much, there has basically been 2 real updates since you left, i14 and i16(which were more or less 6 months apart and its been 6 months since i16), which was AE and power customization (patch15 doesn't count). sounds like you just need to get reacquainted with your toons. -
Quote:maneuvers, assault, veng unless its a solo build in which case id do freeze ray, total focus, sj(for more botz)Originally Posted by Garent
And what four powers am I taking instead?
for both builds -
pepsi or coke?
-
Drop EM pulse. Drop chocking cloud. Drop mutation and stealth.
-
traps is going to be really easy to soft cap all 3 positions and does some pretty crazy debuff(so take maneuvers, cj, slot for defense) and with a quick attack chain (which is hard for DP) you'll be able to stack -37ish damage buff on whatever you're attacking(so get some rech but with DP it's only good up to a point since the animations are so damn long).

yea so far it's setup for saturday the 20th at 6cst (4pst and 7est)
come join or else leo will silence you on 2.0 -
Good to see that we'll at least have enough the first time.
Aiming for getting started up this saturday (the 20th) but not set on a time
probably around 6-7 cst. although that can be moved up or pushed back depending on what would be the best for everyone. -
So yea, this is basically my small and feeble attempt to try and get some decent pvp back on triumph. (although the three peeps that still have pvp toons here that aren't farming have *loads* of fun in empty RV)
So basically, the idea is to have a weekly session of kickball(arena pvp where you pick teams, hence the name) in pocket D once or twice a week. Of course it'd be reasonably friendly for any newbies that would want to join in, it's strictly for fun, and perhaps even get some of the group that moved to freedumb back. So this thread is not only to discuss the event, but try and figure out the best times/day to do it. In a perfect world, i'd like to get something going twice a week (wednesday and saturday ideally) but just starting off and getting people to come, once a week with about 8-12 peeps per session would be fantastic.

EDIT:
Ok, since the turnouts aren't what we had hoped for,
we're gonna enforce, atleast the first few rounds, be pve only builds to help even the playing field. -

Almost. -
I tried to softcap my dp/mm to ranged and after i made the build i didn't like what I had to take /give up to get close(think it only came to like 40ish and barely any recharge) so i softcapped to s/l instead and got 90 rech instead. works out pretty well.
-
well in all fairness, any blaster is fun at level 10. it's when you get up in the higher levels that the combo really starts to show how horrible it really is
-
If you wanna PvP with this? don't
I tried to do it (purp'd it out and everything) and it doesn't compare to a /em blaster. boost range and build up are *that* good.
if you wanna pve with this? don't
psi's damage is mediocre at best and dev is very very slow for damage.
basically you're better off with basically any other combo than this. -
just looking at a glance, i'd drop ES and take hasten much earlier.

Quote:No it wasn't. the last rebalance was just a redo of the merit system using a new equation. In most cases, task forces now give more merits than they did before. and the task forces that lost merits, only lost about an average of 1 or 2 merits.Originally Posted by Megajoule
Obviously. However, it's just as obvious (to me) that this is not the developers' intent, which has been stated repeatedly as "1 merit per 3 minutes." We've been through several rounds of rebalancing and tweaking of the merit rewards to attempt to enforce this. Do we now need another, because some players have worked out methods to gain merits more quickly and efficiently than the devs want?
Rather than another reward reduction, which punishes other players who do not use such methods to maximize their merit gain over time, maybe the desired rate could be enforced with a coding change to enforce "no more than 1 merit per 3 minutes." I shall consider this for a post to the Suggestions board. Apologies if I've derailed this thread.
also assuming they do another rebalance. -
ask again in 3 years when they'll look at the set.

Quote:doesn't matter and im sure most people wont care until the other things are changed first.Originally Posted by MedievalMayhem
Hey all I was just thinking, and I came up with another round type I'd like to see with DP. How about "Charged Rounds" with a -end, and chance to stun effect? I personally think it would be a great addition to the set rounds, and I like stun effects personally.
any other thoughts?
also I think i recall umbral saying something about how adding ammo toggles is a fairly lengthy task for the amount of powers it would effect. -
Quote:right no i got that, but the whole "im a leader, not a follower" thing doesn't really matter, just form the stuff yourself. or solo like i said.Originally Posted by BloodFairy
StrykerX was taking to me about a previous post. stay out of 4chan and your brain picks up on these things =)

its nice to have, I dont notice the +hp that much since with afew bonuses and accolades you can hit HP cap. but it's nice to have, especially if you're soft capped to something.

Quote:it works out better when you're getting 1 merit per minOriginally Posted by Megajoule
The one thing that jumps out at me is the part about selling recipes that cost 200 - 250 merits each. Assuming that the Devs have been keeping up with their "1 merit per 3 minutes" metric, each of those recipes represents 10+ hours worth of grinding TFs, Oro, etc. (You'll also be getting inf and other drops in the meantime, yes, but that's not my point.)
At what point does the game become a job? -
Quote:not really sure what this has to do with anything but...gratz?Originally Posted by BloodFairy
I can't switch servers. Most of my names are taken and are real important to me, so I don't care to switch and rename or have a 1 or something else. I'm not playing right now and I can't until about 4am my time to 8am. My personality is more of the leader type, so I don't get along well with people dishing out orders. I play this game and should say fight in this game, like a gambler gambles. I fight fast, let the situation play out, usually live through it fine. No planning, no buffing, no nothing. Just fast and quick choices because I know exactly what needs to be done, without waiting on it.

if it were me, i'd do this.

Quote:the thing about server channels like these, is that its basically a hit or miss and more often then not, server chan task forces suck.Originally Posted by StrykerX
You may want to try Virtue server... join the Virtue TFs 2010 channel and you'll often see things going on pretty much all hours, every day. I like to solo a lot too but some toons are just a lot more fun on a team, and ITFs are a quick source of merits since they generally take about an hour to an hour and a half and people run them on Virtue all the time.
LGTFs are good too, but at least on Virtue ITFs are about 10 times as common.
Honestly, if you like soloing, your best bet for more consistent merits, is to get someone to fill for you (or yourself if you can) and run posi in your spare time, 1-3 people make the task force go much smoother and faster, my last one i did solo was an hour 15. you'll probably get more from that than running itf after itf since a quick itf will go 25-30 minutes which you generally don't get with a server channel team.
