wanted to wish everyone a HVD, and i hope those who celebrate this holiday will find the excitement, affection, and renewal they seek. Though idealistically, every day outta be a Valentine's day, this can be a day to be ESPECIALLY thoughtful and caring to your loved one, to make it THEIR day.

Quote:pretty much any damaging corruptor power as the ability to scourge....Originally Posted by Solarius_NA
Is Ice Storm capable of the same "Super Scourge" for which Rain of Fire is so renowned? If so, do you find that the lower damage in Ice Storm (I'm assuming, right?) is compensated for by the larger slow effect?
Ice Storm has SLIGHTLY lesser damage overall, numbers-wise. But thats also interpretive. I believe 1/2 of Ice's damage is in the Lethal category. A good many mobs have some sort of lethal resistance. While RoF is wholly Fire damage..... so in RL application, RoF may noticeably outperform IS in the damage scale of things....
Both may have the same "slow" effect values also. Im not sure if IS also has a -Recharge effect too - dont got time to check.... -
1) Nemesis - cuz he's like the Doctor Doom of AV's. He's got a zillion replicants and no one seems to know if you've even defeated the real one!
2)Imperious/Statesman - major league pbaoe damage, especially if location is debuffed! Will take out the other AV's if buff stacked and location is debuffed....

Quote:Well, here's some safe assumptions about WoW...Originally Posted by Amily
I don't have any experience with RP'ing so I wasn't sure if it was actually more addictive. I wouldn't say that the people who play RP games or WoW are more likely to be addicts than others or suffer from some social deficiency. I was more curious if the activity itself was more likely to bring out someones addictive tendencies. Is WoW truly a more addictive game or does it just have a higher rate due to a larger population. If there is a higher sense of immersion is it easier to lose yourself and neglect RL?
*If you're a RP'r (especially as a troll or something else big or dumb), that explains ALOT
*If you've still stuck it out with WoW though each update totally makes the previous epic items obsolete w/ ineffective level scaling, you're an ADDICT
*If you bought into the game because of the MoHawk hand-grenade, everyone on CoH thanks you for doing so and keeping out of CoH (you friggin lemming)
*If you havent been able to progress from the swords'n'sorcery Everquest platform thats been OVER-REPLICATED by a zillion other games, and STILL play WoW, you're a crackhead AND a lemming...
*If you can tolerate asian gold farmers spamming the channels and continue to exploit the game mechanics w/o the company doing much about it, you are obviously a WoW addict AND a lemming -

Interesting to see how there's so many interpretations of what makes a TF fun or not fun. No wonder the Devs have such a hard time.
My threshold for a TF to be not fun is when there's no AV at the end to fight (or anywhere else in the TF). That's when it being a string of regular mishes really stands out.
maybe there's a "sense" of challenge involved, and a possibility of failure? Achieving success against challenge usually my interpretation of fun. I think continually challenging yourself in diverse ways progresses your character and your own abilities... the day i feel "unchallenged" or too dominant in a game is the day i step away from it, usually -

You know my wife lets me play this game because its a release from work. I'll admit sometimes I do play a little long, but she understands that. She says at least I'm not out drinking or having an affair. Games in my opinion are like therapy sessions. Some of us have to have them and it's better to do this than to go and talk about what part of our life is so messed up. I have great friends on this game and I can talk to them about life in general. So tell the experts to--and I quote from Nibs---BITE ME

I need a diversion from my kids without actually having to leave them with a sitter. It's less expensive than going out and partying and I like most of the peops I've met ingame. I do physically go out and socialise, but I'm just as happy to stay hermit girl. -
Best, well prob Fire
Best ST, team-oriented = Sonic
one of the AT builds to suggest your friend, would be a Sonic/Dark corruptor as an opening set into CoH. Its a balanced set for solo and teaming. Darkest Night provides massive damage mitigation, even as a Secondary for solo play or teaming. Howl & Tarpatch helps out team damage & gives him a teaming element. Twilight Grasp is a massive team healer also. He may enjoy the dynamics of -resist stacking w/ his attack chain. He'll also can pick up a pet, Dark Servant, which he may enjoy too. -
i believe there have been other related studies on the affects of "X" amount of TV a child/teen is exposed to per day vs "X" amount of time spent in face-to-face social interaction. Same results.
I would tend to agree with the results, though the results are more reflective on the more "extreme" users of TV/Games, than the normal persons who maintain a decent balance of face-to-face social interaction. Imo, i'd guestimate most players here as normal persons who use TV/Games on a normal, acceptable basis. -
well, considering i keep free of most obligations, including a girlfriend, im free to outright binge on my days off lol.... Im not socially-inclined, so this behavior is very fitting. I generally dont find people as interesting. If i didnt game, surely i would find another activity that would keep me away from being surrounded by lemmings. Work overloads my social need and the days off serves as a break in that.
Most peeps would categorize me as a Gamer Addict, and thats fine. If you're able to drop in 20hr+ gaming sessions a pop w/o a problem, then yeah....
Then again, i usually step away from online gaming during the summer time entirely. The summer reserved for hi-nrg activities, like sports & working out. So to be able to step away voluntarily for extended times wouldnt warrant an addiction i'd say. -
1) prob my fav is a steamroll ITF.... You can do ITF's pretty much with anything w/ some good debuffing for the end. Really enjoy the mass "mah mah monster-kill" of herding cims too...
2)Kahn TF - doesnt take many teammates to even start this top-tier tf. With some debuff, there are plenty of AV's to take down - and thats fun. Doesnt require a specific key player either. One time on an all-ranged pug team, i had a pvp blaster tank Reisch. Granted he was kept debuffed mostly and the blaster was kept buffed, some of the bene's of ranged chars..
3)Apex TF - i actually enjoy this one over the Tin Mage. The Battle Maiden scenario is fun and i enjoy seeing teammates getting challenged and die over and over. Who would have thunk that challenging your sense of positional awareness could be such a challenging task for some? The end is really a zip - just gotta keep on your toes and not get so locked on button smashing.... -
another power consideration which was mentioned is your holds. Got 3 hold powers available to you. 2 of them together are enuf to lock up a boss, useful for soloing
-
your culprits are DN & SF..... massive end drain toggles
assuming you're "SO" slotting... you NEED to 3slot those w/ End Redux....
IF you're running any pool power toggles, most are bad drainers too
Tarpatch can be 3rech 3end redux if you planning to invest it heavy...
MAKE sure you got Stamina 3slotted End Mod since you got probs...
Ice Storm can be 2or3 Recharge, 2or3 Damage, 1 End Redux
Frostbreath if used, can be 2ACC, 2 Damage, 1 Range, 1 End Redux
these are temp fixes till you can respec & get your lv50 IO's in
i would HIGHLY suggest in getting Dark Mastery for Dark Consumption(pbaoe End Leech) & Soul Drain(pbaoe ACC & Damage leech). Soul Drain will massively amp up your damage output for 30secs depending on how many you score with... Its buff duration is a VERY EFFECTIVE match for Ice Attacks because of its prolonged DoT attacks (Sleet, Ice Storm, Blizzard). Reversely, Aim is rather kind of lousy for Ice Attacks because the shortness of its duration. It benefits burst attacks and i dont have it on my Icerz
And if you're interested in mag-stacking, you can get Oppressive Gloom and use your Howling Twilight power to overwhelm boss' mez protection thats within your OG area, as long as OG scores -

Fearsome Stare is supa-pimp when used for -ACC. Massive damage mitigator and a big number to start with for the percentages to work off of good. Take in mind that -ACC IO's increases the EFFECTIVENESS of the ToHit debuff. Fear IO's affect the LENGTH of the "possible" fear animations, NOT the effectivenss.... Incurring damage can easily snap some out of the animation & wont affect bosses. Much greater gains in -ACC stacks, w/ DN and such....

yeah, they gimped down the Corr's version of Soul Drain in CoV. Ironically, with Going Rogue, you can get the Defender's version instead lol. Not only does the Corr's version take twice as long (240secs vs 120secs), it affects less targets also.... Soul = 7, Dark = 10
My Corrs uses Dark Mastery and can keep Soul Drain perma...
The difference is access rate also. Corr's version is basically a tier1 power while the def's is tier 3, so it requires you to get 2 other powers prior. There's plenty of good powers in Dark mastery to pick from at least....
