I love me some of those path auras, but I always find myself thinking "darn, I wish I could stack some other Aura with this" lol

Well the game could probably do a check to see if someone "rocking the Aura" is actually healing anybody. If they are, then allow the inherent to 'proc'. So it would only 'proc' off of Healing Aura if it heals someone who actually was damaged.

I'm fairly sure the game can distinguish between pointless ("Over Healing") and actual healing. Don't the healing badges require you to heal up actual damage for example?


Could also just introduce a "PPM" mechanic to the inherent. So the +RCH buff only "procs" a maximum of once every 30 seconds or something, stacks up to X amount. So while they might be rocking the aura, it won't give them an advantage over someone not rocking the aura, and solves the shield spam issue too. Sure some sets might have an easier time "tapping" the inherent, but that is hardly unique to defenders.

*shrug* just my 2 inf.

I've been saying it for years, if the Star Trek "Holo Suite/Deck" ever comes to fruition, its gonna be the Japanese who invent it..

We all know what 95% of the usage of those things would be lol. (Adult-Rated Halo Suites are actually mentioned in DS9 if I'm not mistaken)

Well, if the person is left handed I could see that working. Sounds kinda awkward if one is right handed though.

Once again falls into that "to each their own" catagory haha.


But all in all I dont understand why Ninja Run can't stack with CJ. I'm guessing the devs just weren't comfortable with giving it even more ability to replace grabbing a true travel power.

It's one of those powers that can benefit you in several minute ways, and I almost always pick it up..

It's useful for when building towards the defense cap, sure it doesn't provide a stellar amount of defense, but 2-3% can make a large difference once you get closer to the cap.

My squishies love it for the Immobilize protection, as well as an easy slot for KB protection IO.

An easy mule for LotG - 7.5% Recharge, a useable mule with benefits at that!

The Jumping speed/control lets you maneuver around during battle much easier for positioning purposes. Granted this is more helpful to some builds/players than others. The jumping boost also lets you "Bunny Hop" around which is usually enough to keep up with the team.

The End cost to run it is practically non-existent.

For my squishies I usually end up 2 slotting it, 1 LotG and 1 KB protection, toss in a LotG Defense IO in there if I'm building for the soft cap.

So, for one power and 2 allocated slots we get; (assuming 2 slotted LotG, and KB protection)

3~% Defense
7.5% Global recharge
10% Regen
Immob Protection
KB Protection
Better in-battle Maneuvering
Virtually no END cost

Not too shabby if you ask me.

While they may be old; they still work well for the most part.

Indeed.. A certain other company who runs a well known MMO tend to do the "Drastic change routine". The results are generally pretty.. Cataclysmic *wink wink* at times, with massive power shifts between uber and gimpy.

Ahh that's a shame..

I too just resorted to buying a chunk of Paragon Points, because I was unsure about long-term subs question.


Not like it was a waste of money though, got some nice costume bits, and a few powersets out of the paragon points hehe.

I was in a similar position, but mid way in Tier8.

This seems like a good time to ask, as I couldn't get any positive answer from their FAQ page.

If you buy a chunk of time, lets say a 12 month sub, do they front load all your Reward Tokens, as in do you get all 12 up front, or do they still hand them out on a monthly basis?

Ahh I see, so that might be why ragdolls seem to "spaz" out a lot more than they used too..

I recently took down a Freak Boss, and he rolled down a slope of stairs.. Once he hit the button his legs, arms, and head started spinning in circles and spazzing out. It was like those silly videos people make using Gary's Mod lol.

Brute's Gauntlet is a single target taunt effect on the target they are attacking, where a Tanker gets an AoE version (think it effects 5 foes, including the target)

The power Taunt is virtually identical iirc.

The key lies in the Taunt auras though, which are also pretty much identical on a taunt basis, though the Brute will end up doing more damage with their version of Blazing Aura.

If your worried about having taunt issues on the Brute, don't be. The difference is marginal at best in the grand scheme of things. Most of it lies with you, the player, and your build. The reason Tankers generally hold hate better is because the *player* decides to mentally focus on holding hate more, and build for it, while most Brutes build/play for maximizing their damage.

Thanks for the share, the Mc Hammer one was especially fun to watch xD

If it has any sort of mez protection, like along the lines of what we find in the Psionic APP for Controllers, I think I will squeal in excitement.

But some sort of holds/control seem likely, as they are blatantly missing in the current Power Pools, unless you count fear.

oh thank goodness, good to know.

Those icons are flipping annoying.
