    But if anyone has taken the time to read some of the forums you can see you can farm yourself without vengeance with one aoe attack and hand grenade temp.
    Who farms 1/8 setting?
  2. They should just call it Street Fighting
    or Street Fighter II Turbo
  3. I remember looking at the set when it came out. I was like, "hmm get +damage from different attacks. wouldn't pushing rage be easier?"
  4. I hate redraw on my dual blades. Its annoying to watch it. People say its calculated in the dps but how does that help. It seems noticable when self healing, burn, etc.

    I guess though it might not be noticeable if you click more. I usually p[ess 4,1,2,3 or 4, alt+1,alt+2,alt+3 for combos.

    My friend just presses randomly 1-5 when she plays. It's just preference. I'd say check the difference between a weapon character and non weapon character.

    How do villains have street justice?

    Wheres the street justice in robbing a bank?

    Are you born with street justice?
  6. Who made up the name Street Justice?

  8. SS/Fire isn't getting nerfed anytime soon. Especially with freedom coming out. I'm surprised they just didnt cut rage damage in half years ago. Fun to faceroll keyboard i guess, but then you go play other archtypes and get depressed
  9. You guys should make a jumping thread, you're off topic.
    Any good player can do a jumping cone attack and then do a mid air aoe attack though.
  10. I used to farm Rikti back when they were cool before AE. I don't remember why though. All i got was merits for some costumes pieces.

    With DB/ELA i had to jump around alot to position the cones

    Farming toons are what pay the bills. They dont need kb protection and other things to farm. Wouldnt that mean you got stealth to farm merits?

    Picking good farming archtypes allows you to eat a ham sandwich, while watching youtube and farming. Anything lesser means you have to pay attention and kill slower.

    Does the time making a farming char make up for the amount of time it takes to kill slower in farms?
  12. The problem with electric farming is that most custom energy melee mobs are sm/energy. Making ranged mobs would make it hard to aoe.

    Honestly though if you cant agree or compromise with your supergroup, why would u listen to people on the forums? It seems no matter what someone tells you, you already have your mind set.
  13. I used Mu early on in the 40's. Once i got to 50 i switched to soul. When i got enough recharge, all i did was footstomp + burn + dark obliteration. I put dark blast in my single target attack rotation. Footstomps kinetic crash procs probably 50% of time. I also have a speed boost hostage in the mission i use

    It seems like a lethal farm for Invuln chars?

    The minions are mind/dark armor, so alot of stuns/confuse stack. I added some mobs to reduce def. The bosses have rage so a hurl boulder can hit pretty hard.

    I just started making maps 2 days ago. I made a fire map and it gives a little more influence on bosses than crey fire cyborgs because i did fiery assault on bosses. Seems odd how fire mobs give more exp than other power sets Just sucks i can only publish 3 maps.

    AE Survival Map

    I made this map to test my brutes on. I tried to mix the enemy mobs up a bit and not have them all just be better for one archtype. Didn't make it too long. i don't really find it a test just grind trash for 30 mins

    Arc ID: 501881

    My ss/fire is very squishy in it. I'm thinking of getting barrier on the char for small raiding situations. Is there a map most people use to test? All i see is RP maps or farm maps
    I've been away for 2 years
  17. Hmm i'll probably just stick with the scrapper then. It seems easy to get damage cap for Lightning Rod and Shield Defense. I usually already have around 200% damage bonus. It kinda makes build up seem point less though.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmqIB7pDfDI

    Thats the damage i was doing in the 40's. I guess i dont like getting 2 powers to get an aoe
  18. I just leveled up my elm/sd scrapper to 41 and the epic power pools seem lacking compared to the brutes. I mostly play brutes but i went scrapper because of the higher damage on lightning rod and shield charge.

    Im assuming brute would use 3 aoes rotation til LR and SC are back up. So a scrapper would have 2 aoes and a cone i guess? Just wondering what someones attack rotation is with high recharge.

    Kinda tempted to make a brute now

    Buffers rejoice!

    Thank god. I was tired of joining groups where buffers don't buff. It's like why roll a buff archtype?

    Pretty much carrying buffers to level 50

I never experienced that while leveling up my ss/fire brute(s). When comparing with a general SO build, SS/fire verse db/fire, its a toss-up of who wins. Granted once you start building with your more expensive IOs then SS/fire is the king of speed.

    But yeah weapon redraw isn't an issue as far as what I've experienced.
    I experience weapon redraw everytime i play my DB.

    Get both ? You can have 7 active missions Then figure out which one you run quicker and run with it.
    Did they nerf Harvey Maylors missions? They're all carnival of shadows when i tried on a fresh character.
  22. DB seems bad for farming. Weapon redraw. Long animations. None of the combos are worth the time on a brute. Seems pointless to do a 3 hit combo for aoe knockdown when SS does it in one move. In a raid you never get a combo off.

    Seems hover/flight needs re-re-tweaking. Flew into the train and upon exiting the train in a new zone Cerebrawl is vibrating like he's having siezures.

    Flight or Hover on?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Same for both. (I'm not the OP, but I'm having the same issue.) It stops if you move, but starts again if you stop moving but still have Flight or Hover on. Shutting off Flight/Hover ends it.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Had it with regular flight on.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    This happened to me the other night, with both Fly and Hover, on more than one character. Whenever I zoned or exited a mission with either Fly or Hover on, I was stuck doing the jittery animation. It looked sort of like it was switching between the fly/hover in place animation and the 'falling' animation.
    It didn't resolve itself until I turned off Flight/Hover, then it was fine if I turned them back on after.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Usually happens when i zone somewhere with hover or fly on. I kinda like it, keeps me entertained while waiting for groups.

    Stalker / Dual Blades / Ablating Strike: Corrected an issue with Stalker Dual Blades Ablating Strike which was causing it to have critical effects against entities not targeted by the power.

    Lol, i thought that was intended. My crits are just that strong for splash damage.
