Which would look like ****.

I can't see anyone paying for something that looks like Leviathan powers.

I think I will reserve judgement until I actually see the water effects for myself...

I think it's more likely that Bio Armor will be a pay set and Water Blast a free-to-subscribers set. Simply because there are no defensive pay sets yet. The new tech for absorb is just as new as the new tech that might hypothetically exist for water.

You don't need to "suspect" anything. Since it's mentioned in the official Pummit summery, it's now ok to talk about Absorb.

He's okay of you are playing a tank or defender, but otherwise he's dead in a second. The problem is the AI for companions in the DA missions is set to "aggressive". I think most people who have used the MA know that it's usually better to set mobs to "defensive".

You forget all the refugees coming from Praetorian Earth. They pose a big social problem for Primal Earth. But with Praetorian Hami taken down they could return and start to rebuild their planet.

I'm kind of thinking Thanos would have an agent on Asgard, who could redirect the bridge (wormhole) to allow his minions to invade. I'm thinking he would use the Frost Giants, since they would be pretty mad after events in Thor1.

Cosmic Cube = Ring of Power in a different shape. Using it will tend to produce bad results.

Movie continuity is different. If it where as easy as that, he wouldn't have needed to employ Loki.

When the Bifrost is repaired Thor takes a trip to Earth to visit his girlfriend. Then the invasion happens and Thanos and his allies/minions take control of the Bifrost. Leaving Thor trapped on Earth whist Asgard is in a desperate battle for survival.

No. Only regular type heads. It goes in the beard slot, so you can't make Captain Face-Fungus either.

I think DNA Syphon is the pbaoe heal/rez that was mentioned somewherz.

Yes. Your arguments are absurd. Your attempt to argue that the absurdity argument is absurd is absurd. Your attmpt to use the internet to prove ANYTHING is absurd.

Sure, some players care about that kind of thing (but in that case, why are they playing this MMO, rather than one where developers are obsessive about balance and actually make content based on challenge rather than fun?). But for those who care about that kind of thing, the solution already exists: don't play staff (on a scrapper).

For the rest of use: leave us alone, we are having fun.

Presumably a debuff, very likely a toggle (Chilling Embrace style), with the stalker version changed to a click.

Yup. (for them that flunked biology, Mitosis is cell division). Although I think it might replace "Parasitic Aura" which is probably tox damage to foes + heal self aura.

Comment at the bottom says it's a res set, so I think we can rule out +def. This could be the mez protection though. In which case, I think you might have just made stalkers very worried.

That would be "Inexhaustible".

Yup. Let's hope I'm just being paranoid...

But as far as I can see, anything involving Peter's mum and dad would go against comic continuity. Was ANYTHING ever established?

Quite true, but I'm also of the opinion that Titan Weapons isn't really very much fun to level, wheras staff is great fun.

And the bottom line is, the game is all about having fun.

That's exactly what you are doing. Sets are played differently, so ther is NO SUCH THING as "equivalent rotations" to compare.

I think you will find that is exactly what everyone believes you are doing...

I'm not talking about helping or hindering staff. I am talking about valid and invalid assumptions. People do not use the best DPA attack, there are a great many other factors to take into account, from building fury to looking cool.


Again you forget that the ATs are DIFFERENT. You claim to be familiar with Brutes, yet seem to have no idea that since fury is responsible for a significant amount of their damage output, and thus FoB worth comparatively less, and hence the equivalent benefit of FoM and FoS is larger.

Exactly. In normal play PEOPLE DO NOT FOCUS ON TRYING TO DO AS MUCH DAMAGE AS POSSIBLE. Ergo, your analysis is flawed.

Quite. Experience >> theory

Which is why you fail. You believe you know far more about the game than you really do, wheras I am aware that there is lots I don't know, even though I have been playing since EU beta.

But you don't need to know anything about the game to spot invalid assumptions, and to know that a conclusion based on invalid assumptions is false.

If you have played staff, then try saying "I have played staff, and I have felt that it was under-performing..." and people might listen to you, rather than coming up with a pile of spurious mathematics.



I don't need to. I don't claim to know if Staff is underperforming, overperforming, or whatever. My point is: NETHER DO YOU. If your so called "proofs" can't convince us, they sure aint going to convince the devs.

In my opinion, staff is significantly worse for Scrappers than for the other melee ATs, so I am quite willing to believe that either the scrapper version underperforms or the other versions overperform. But I don't have a problem with that, lots of powersets perform differently on different ATs and in conjunction with different secondaries or primaries. If the difference was significant enough to notice, you can be sure there would be a hoard of people coming to the forums complaining (especially when they have spent money on it). When (if) that happens, then it's time to crunch some numbers and try to find out what's going wrong.

Oh, well done, you have just disproved the entire democratic system, old chap! When are you going to tell the president he needs to step down?

here is a valuable life hint: not everything you read on the internets is true, posting a link to something doesn't convince anyone of anything. Just to show that anyone can paste a link instead of making a valid argument, here is one for you:linky

He never hits anyone with his staff in the books.

Wizard = wise man = scholar

Indeed. Legally, it would be equivalent to someone who had been in a PoW camp for many years after the end of a conflict.

Actually, I think Steve Rogers believes that the good guys are the guys who don't lie to their allies, don't keep dirty secrets, and don't believe the end justifies the means.


Which needs to be made much clearer. UNIT is basically the same organisation in the Whoniverse, but their organisation and powers is much more clearly defined. SHIELD has a lot of power, and power corrupts. Without checks and balances they could easily become the bad guys.

The only person who should have been able to authorise deployment of nuclear weapons was the President.

Who started an organisation over 60 years ago doesn't have that much affect over what it eventually becomes. And I'm not sure Rogers would consider H. Stark's judgement 100% sound anyway.

Given how the movie panned out, I don't think he would feel comfortable being on the SHIELD payroll at the moment. They would have to convince him they where the good guys first.

The quote from the RL Pentagon is interesting, since it shows how the military view such organisations: with acute mistrust. "Who are you answerable too? What's the chain of command?"

I think he would use an alias, as he wouldn't want to be hired on that basis.

That could work, the Marvel movies seem to be able to get away with being self-referential.
