Pyro_Master_NA

Like I said before, and like Silverado just said, BL while they get up and begin to gather.

Yes, footstomp's range is one of my favorite parts about it. I can run in and hit it before groups get clumped, and then hit ball lightning while they start to clump, and burn them when they get in close. Claws has to stand around a few seconds and let things come to you first, and won't hit them all even after they do.

Cold has benumb, sleet, heat loss to debuff AV/GMs. Arctic fog to provide some defense. Rest is useless against them one on one for the most part. Benumb can miss, heat loss can miss.

Rad has LR, EV, and RI. 2 can't miss, and LR is easier to perma than benumb for 2 reasons; AM and better up/down time ratio. Rad has AM to buff self, and a built in heal for when needed.

If heat loss is needed for endurance, one miss will most likely kill you, a missed LR won't. A missed benumb will let that damage debuff go off, EV won't. AM makes recharge bonuses less needed, and endurance problems less noticeable and will always affect you. Cold has to reapply benumb, heat loss, and sleet. Rad only has LR and AM, and AM is on a longer wait time to recast, so isn't as bad. Rad is just more reliable and takes less time away from dishing out your max DPS.

Actually, 39% is base tohit agains +4s, so probably fighting them regularly.

With the +end badges (got mine on hero side because I find them easier to get) and with +end proc and num/miracle slotted, his endurance is fine. Fiery embrace turns everything into corpses pretty fast.

This. Especially with the new(ish) burn. Mu mastery helps, but is not "needed" to work. I am currently farming shards to get the endurance alpha slot, as the rage crashes and hasten are hurting my endurance quite a bit. (Yes I konw cardiac doesn't reduce those two powers end crash, but every bit helps)

Anyway: Burn+FS+BL+EF=body pile

*edited to remove bad ability to link to things I think I'm linking to.

But with three it is always doubled up in either form.

If you can keep hovering over the group, then they both do KD instead of KB AFAIK.

Not trying to start a fight, but this is not the same as rad. Having my first and favorite 50 a fire/rad troller, I can tell you that setting up rad goes much faster than setting up traps. The traps take a considerabley longer amount of time to set up.

The total cast time for those 3 traps powers is roughly seven and a half seconds (not counting arcana time) and the ones for rad take about 4 and a half. And the traps will have to be properly positioned, and are all required to be recasted on AV/GM fights. Rad will also only need to use 2 of its 3 main debuffs on anything but an AV/GM, and only has one power that needs to be recasted on them.

Rad is IMO being underhyped due to cold gaining some more popularity, and due to bots/traps MMs (because MMs can't use rad, or I believe that set would be FOTM) doing some sick things.

Just saying again, this would be NOTHING like a name or server change. Neither of those can be abused like this would. And each of those cost RL money to use, and I doubt that people would pay money to change powersets when they have no experience with the set and have no solid idea of how it would play.

Can you specify why "your opinion" of rerolling is "stupid" or why this is a good suggestion? Because the argument that rerolling is stupid just shows that you don't have any real reason for this change to be made.

Reasons why this is a bad idea:

People have no reason to make more than one of each At, since they can just swap powersets.

Low level content will die out.

Those switching to new powersets would have 0 experience with playing the new set and would be frustratingly horrible with them, since they had no time to learn how to play the set.

People will get bored with the game if 1 lvl 50 means any combo of the AT can be made, thus limiting players to really only needing 14 characters to experience every combination possible.

^People getting bored with the game means less people to team with.

And I'm sure others could come up with many reasons I missed. Your opinion of rerolling being stupid (which is like saying playing the game is stupid in MY opinion) is not a good enough reason for this kind of thing to be taken seriously. And name changing and server changing don't even remotely relate to this, so they are a bad argument to use.

I actually think the softcap is overkill for normal content. If you want to do extreme things, like Dechs keeping agro on all the AVs in Reichsman, or Silverado soloing every GM known to man, then yes, the softcap is something you should shoot for. But for almost any teaming environment, any mitigation set survives just fine without being capped. The OP just asked for a way to softcap a nin so I showed how. Doesn't mean it won't survive without it.
