Im already thinking of concepts for a fire/earth/dark

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm already planning a Plant/Earth due to my love for my Fire/Fire keeping me from trying the x2 DoT auras. Doubling up sounds amazing (And I said omg save your Magma Mower names now in another post) but oy the end costs.

Power Boost for Flashfire would be the cherry on top though... with Tremor... and Fissure and... wait... do I really love my fire/fire (checks second build completely done in PvP IOs already...)...

Rats.

I just watched the video about Earth Assault... and omg DoT aura (Mud Pots)?!!

The next spines/fire mob killer will be a Fire/Earth Dominator? Starting saving your Magma Mower names now!

Worst part? PP MoG works vs psionics and even dodges burn down to 5 percent per tick.

what he said

to the point I have a fire/elec tank build already planned.

"Electrical control for Doms-maybe"

This is SQUEEEEE! and /fasepalm at the same time (so just imagine my avatar getting all happy and that creepy chick behind me hitting me with a frying pan mid-breath - it's from FLCL... so it makes sense, really).

Maybe means someone has on their desk a list of powers and the early steps of how to go about making Electrical Control ... written in much-erased pencil on a crumbled piece of paper.

That's it.

My hopes feel dashed... but at least it could be ready by Christmas 2010.

If and when they proliferate again: Doms will need a new primary badly lol.

/e slaps Tony on the back of the head.

"Knock it off, probee."

The lack of any dev on a "fix XXX" thread usually means they're waiting for:

A) The next patch of I16 press releases.
B) For Closed Beta to test the numbers in action (+any testing level bumps)
C) Low priority.

Other than that... free country... call out the rednames all you want lol.

Just make sure it's not a Rikti Do...

ACCOUNT BANNED.

We need an all Energy damage TF.

You mean like the LGTF?

As to the ITF... yeah... nothing says loving pain like -50 defense after the first wave of swords smacks you. Scaling defense wouldn't mean much at that point without debuff resistance.

EDIT: Sigh... beaten to the LGTF comment!

MA has spoiled me. I'm now too lazy to read ... anything thanks to:

test

clowns

hunt clowns

go go go

kill teh clown.

click!

teh end.

And yes... that's the long form of most arcs I run into these days.

The problem with electric armor is that unless you're facing energy attacks, you're still taking a massive amount of damage from a heavy hitter's smashing/lethal alpha attack (with our without tough).

SR was all defense and was given scaling resists (except to Toxic and Psi) to help somewhat with Sudden Death Syndrome. Electric Armor is all resists so scaling defense (say 5 percent at 50 health, 10 at 20 health per toggle armor could work.) would be a neat otherside of the coin.

One issue I get is if an attacker uses -Res powers... oy. Longbow Sonic Grenades sometimes double and triple stack their effect if you stand in them. I wish there could be a "resistance to -res" effect for ELA.

Claws doesn't bore me like DB does. There's something about being "pushed" into combo use that annoys me. And by pushed, I mean, "why not get the extra effects? You fool! You missed that attack and broke your combo!"

[/ QUOTE ]

This. If not for the sexy animations I never would have gotten my db/sr to 50.

Considering how much I follow the fix electric threads of any type I'm surprised I missed this one suggestion:

Adding scaling +Def to ELA (the more HP you lose, the more you start to "avoid" attacks, similar to SR's scaling +res, but ELA gets +defense instead of resistance.) With this suggestion would also come decent +res to defense debuffs, around 55% or more.

/signed. However... I'm sure it would take some time to tweak to make sure when/if the +def would kick in.

Sighs. Come on, Lavitae! /puppyeyesface.

Pwwwwease.

And gratz Ode! Yeah... it's like the perfect golf shot with a day like that. You remember it always... even through your 10 crap roll days lol.

Another example of actual per item merit costs needing to be reduced.

1. What is your favorite word?
Thanks. (Yeah, edited... had thank you... so much for reading directions!)

2. What is your least favorite word?
Potential, because it means you're not living up to it.

3. What turns you on?
When she knows me for what I am and still loves me.

4. What turns you off?
Being belittled or even hearing someone else be torn down.

5. What sound or noise do you love?
The sound a woman's voice makes when it's cracking from being tired.

6. What sound or noise do you hate?
Heavy-twang country.

7. What is your favorite curse word?
The harsher form of "Gosh Darn it." Usually said after I've messed up something simple. It irks my family because I still haven't made a profession of faith... go figure.

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Professional actor or athlete: Being a high-profile entertainer would give me the money and press to help others.

9. What profession would you not like to participate in?
Telemarketing.

10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
"See, wasn't that hard now was it."

Good point on the Fortunatas/Arachnos, Turbo. Many of those guys have unreal mez resistances and defense and don't have to be bosses to be a pain.

Now... to plan a build on what I have to skip... too much good stuff!

I fail at market, Jadkni, but PvP IOs are just an entirely new kinda beast.

I agree, Dispari. I was just curious if that's more or less work to do more animations than to record different sounds.

Also, if someone makes the Rad Sniper Blast "Star Trek Photon Torpedo" the sound for EVERYTHING they do.... you're going to have to give other players the ability to mute you lol.

Eh, the only annoying sounds were Targeting Drone and some Willpower toggles... and the devs have scaled them back to be less annoying over the years.

Btw, beware of ganker time travel:

(Sadly, I stink at youtubelinkfu... fastfoward to 1:11+)

Not now. Not later this year. Not early next year. Maybe not anytime soon.

But what about Custom sounds for your powers?

Or is this one of those /fasepalm moments for the devs? I'm more than happy to just color tint my powers and many people I play with don't even have sounds enabled... but was just wondering what would be envolved in choosing what you want your attacks to sound like.

Discuss!

Earth pet resistances with def and hit points boosted...

but going all ice for theme... Jack may be the only target outside of an ice tank to not look silly in the shields.

TA for fire and AR corrs.. when you really have to burn alive people you are burning alive.

BaBs made a comment on proliferation being based on what could work with the least amount of animation fixes.
l hope too Castle considers the holes/performance of elec now that the most played AT (city of data said this at one point I believe about scrappers) gets to toy around with it.

For now, I doubt it. I got that feeling it launches as is and maybe gets fixes later.
