Perfection

i know how def works.

i can understand neg being weaker than the others. my problem is that why are the elemental numbers as strong as the energy numbers?

either way, i don't trust any of it right now and I'm gonna test every single combo. if it ends up agreeing with these goofy numbers then cool.

We appreciate you're time and willingness to look into this. Thanks SF

EC doesn't stack with other stealth powers, so removing it from the stalker set was presumably less of a balance issue and more about not wanting a completely worthless power in the stalker set.

i think it was more of a "removing repulse from the brute set was less of a balance issue and more about not wanting a completely useless power in the brute set".

Stalker EA predates Brute EA. and Havind Hide and another stealth power in a stalker secondary would be absolutely huge for stalkers. no more dipping into concealment for stealth to stack for pvp. EA would be FOTM.

I'm only lvl 20 and play mainly weekend nights...but I like EA quite a bit so far.

Apart from this (guessing its a typo and you meant 1000%?), thats some interesting data... It'd sure make slotting IH for heals actually make a noticable differance. Having it up more often is a plus too.

Whats funny (sad?) is that Regen Aura is pbaoe too. Teammates can get Regen Aura more often than I can use IH. Blah.


[edit: Know what I'd like more than anything? For IH to have a 25-50% up front heal. I died several times yesterday duoing some AV - well, Elite Bosses now - just because I went from 50% to 0 in the time it took for IH before I could reap the regen bonus. We won't be getting that, but that would be just fantastic.]

yeah, that was a typo. and actually, when they were changing IH to a click, adding an initial heal of 50% is something EvilGeko and I were asking for. it would be nice.

i just find it really annoying that when slotted for maximum effect 3recharge/3heal, Regen Aura is better thanIH and AOE. same value and only 167s downtime compared to IH's 243s. nearly a minute and a half more downtime for what again?

and the craziest part is that people actually advocate skipping regen aura on an Empath because it doens't really do anything.

I agree with you. Even if we have more hp than a defender and reap more benefits from it. The defender has the ability to help all of his team mates with it as well (all other scrappers on the team would essentially have a better version of IH than a regen with IH) Just doesn't seem "balanced" to me. Would it really be game breaking for IH to have the same numbers? I don't think it would, but I guess that's just me.

I haven't got my IH slotted yet, but I have used it and as it is, it is not an "oh my goodness" button...I generally faceplant if I use it in that manner. I usually hit it before I jump in a fight for slightly better results.

This is excellent news. I have put off playing my 41 scrapper because he keeps getting AV missions and often I have no SG mates to help out when I'm able to log on. Another friend has 3 AV missions and is always trying to find help, just so he can get new missions. Great idea to keep AV's in the game, without hindering us soloist.

EvilGeko, I know you are BS/Regen, but do you by any chance know of a good I5 DM/Regen guide? I'm looking everywhere with no success.

My account is paid through January 3rd, 2006. I was going to keep recurring billing going so that I could post, but in hindsight, I think it's time to let these boards and CoH go. It was fun for a time, but these devs are...well I don't have words.

Good luck guys and take care, I'll be lurking.

Evil Geko, so it ain't so. you are a pillar to this community. We can work around this...we always do. <gasps for air after having wind knocked out of him with the nerf bat>

I'm here to 1-3-06. If I'm still having fun, I'll be here after that. I probably will. I like CoH/CoV. I'm sick of nerfs, but I have to admit that there hasn't been a nerf yet that made me stop having fun. Less fun in certain cases, but never no fun.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you leave, your posts and input will certainly be missed by many...but I can't blame you for considering it.

My regards to Col. Jessup of course for this



"Son, we live in a world that has code, and that code has to be maintained by the Dev's. Who's gonna do it? You? You, GenericHero3253?
I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for your Enhancements and you curse the Dev's.
You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that the Enhancement Diversification, while tragic, probably saves Heroes.
And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves Heroes.
You don't want the truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me maintaining that code, you need me maintaining that code.
We use words like balance, fun, changes. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent coding something. You use them as a punchline.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very game that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it.
I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a keyboard and start coding. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to"
