Mentioning Assault Suits... Those are actually genuine EBs. The... Problem, let's call it, with that is I've only ever seen one. Rather the same one about six times, and it's the one Hro summons as an ambush. Rikti invasions tend to lag my computer and my cognitive abilities, so I avoid them, and... Where else do those spawn, anyway? -

Not fire melee, fire armor.

Quote:Which is mostly due to the winners just not understanding what to do with so much money.Originally Posted by DrMike2000
Winning the lottery, maybe, although I've heard a lot of anecdotal evidence of that not working out too well for people.
It's like a horse being suddenly confronted with a mountain of oats. The horse doesn't eat only it's immediate need then save the rest for later; it tries to eat it all in one go. In the same way, people who don't know how to handle money well when presented with $1,000,000 go on spending sprees and quickly deplete that money thus returning themselves to their earlier income levels, but now saddled with the costs associated with the new purchases. -
Red Lanterns in the show? I approve only on the grounds that Ruffles the Rage Kitty make an appearance.

Quote:What's so wrong with Fire Melee Tanks?Originally Posted by Santorican
No you're not, I don't care how good a player is there are certain challenges where even with an infinite amount of time you will fail without the right team. Like a MoSTF I would NEVER do with a Fire Tanker. I don't care how well built or how many billions of influence or how well that player can play his character there is still a huge inherent weakness compared to all of the other tanker secondaries.

Maybe one of your team mates is really Chuck Norris...he's not capable of failing.

Quote:We've gotten updates on new team members when those team members' jobs is to be among us: Community Reps and the like.Originally Posted by Rubberlad
Hold up, I'm not talking about their private lives... I'm talking about company notifications. When employees are hired, there's an email stating John Smith has joined the company in this capacity. We've gotten tons of these as a player base over the years.
We've only gotten updates for backroom Devs when they choose to let us know.
If David Nakayama hadn't mentioned Colin Brown, would you have known he worked at PS?
What about Castle's minions?
What about all the other 50+ unaccounted for Paragon Studios workers? -
Quote:Run faster!Originally Posted by Lemur Lad
It's amazing how far that story has spread over the years. If we could do forum polls, I'd have one to see how many people claimed to be there on the day.
I know I was one of less than a hundred to be present for it.
I will say though, that those runs of testing (and breaking) the new Hami with him and Castle and Ghost Widow there at different times will always be some of my best memories of the game.
We were giving feedback there and in the forums and it really felt like what we were saying mattered.
I still kinda wish they'd listened to us when we talked about cutting the 4 waves of mitos to 3, or replacing one of them with Mito buds, but so be it.

I'll miss you, BAB.

I thought what it does is add a second effect. Not actually modify the initial power, but ad a second. Which is what gives the result DerangedPolyglot describes.
All the Domination compliant control powers come with an addition in that they'll fire off (technically) two controls at the same time, but only if the "In Domination Mode" flag is active.
Since the two controls are of the same type, they'll stack up. The Devs could make it so that activating Domination causes a Hold power to apply a Stun as well, but that wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. -
Skynetminor HITS you! Confuse had a 100.00% chance to hit and rolled a 62.83.
You are confused.
On a more serious note, the use of temp powers (Warbug nukes, Shivans, etc) probably couldn't hurt.
As for the -RES debuffing, since RES resists -RES, 100% RES would resist -RES debuffs by quite a bit. -
Just watched the whole set. That... was quite awesome.

If one is finding difficulty getting on others' teams, one need only form their own team.

You re-subbed just for inherent Fitness? -

Controllers and Dominators got Mace Mastery? Really? Isn't that a Brute and Tanker ability?
War Mace is the Brute Primary/Tanker Secondary. -

Quote:I wouldn't take it on any of my Doms either, but that's rather beside the point.Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
but since this game is about player choice, if you want to get IW on a dom, feel free, but im never gonna personally take psi mastery on a dom when i have the choice of ice mastery or fire mastery which has good debuffs amd dmging powers (fire mastery especially if i have fire assault for the synergy with embrace of fire)

Quote:I can see that. But I'm seeing it from an everyday sort of play, aka non-perma which is probably the vast majority of Dominators out there.Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
yeah i know, but to me domination does the same thing, but does it better, which makes IW basically worthless to any dom i make
i know it has some psi defense, but how many enemies actually use psi dmg aside from seers and carnies?
edit: im not trying to argue for or against anything, im just voicing my opinion that this power seems to be kind of useless for doms
Domination isn't up all the time, so IW has a role there: It protects you when you can't use Dom.
To me, saying IW is useless is akin to saying /Regens who have hit the HP Cap don't need Dull Pain since they have Reconstruction. -
Quote:So which we go back to "Not all Doms are perma" and "The game is not balanced on IOs."Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
while i agree its good to help cover the gap from non-perma domination, once you get perma dom this power is moot anyway since domination gives better bonuses than just mez protect and costs 0 end to activate

Quote:Base IW recharge: 360s.Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
even 3 rech slotted into IW, domination prolly has less downtime and can still be used while mezzed, which IW cannot be used while your mezzed
3 Recharge SOs: 96.5%
360 / 1.965 = 183.2s
Base Domination recharge: 200s
IW Duration: 90s
Dom Duration: 90s
A few +Rech bonuses and you'll be able to cycle Dom>IW>Dom>IW for permanent Mez protection without having to go all the way to perma Dom.
