I disown you.

Bah! I thought you mentioned work in your reply, but it's getting late and I misread (so my attempt at humor didn't really make sense). Sorry about that.

I can't help you from a Spines IO aspect, but you did ask for guides. Evil Geko's is a good place to start (I linked to the Regen half of it, though I wouldn't be surprised if you read it already). He gives some sample IO slotting as well, though it really depends on your build's focus.

The key to IOs, imo, is to pick a few things and try to do those very well. If you spread your focus across too many bonuses, you won't be able to stack them to a very signifigant degree. It's also important to keep in mind which sets you have available to you. (Using generic IOs in certain places can also save you slots elsewhere. For example, putting 2 lvl50 EndMod IOs in QR/Stam will only lose 0.08 eps recovery (CJ is 0.06 eps), but gain 2 slots to put elsewhere.)

I started to get lengthy and verbose, but I'll be honest, the best way to learn how to utilize IOs is just by playing with them. They're a new puzzle, and you'll only get better at assembling the puzzle by getting your hands dirty. Yes, it's a lot of work, but it's also very rewarding to see it pay off, at least to me.


Again, sorry if I came off as a tard before, it was a joke/tease gone wrong.

I've seen numbers that suggest permanent DP is possible, but I'm not yet rich enough to see it for myself. Still, I'm slavering at the bit to give it a try.

How far away are we, in straight numbers, from being able to hit permanent IH? I'm assuming that picking the right primary will be important for slotting specific types of sets that give more regen bonus, like maybe broadsword's parry for LOTG-set or some such.

Well, you can't get something below 20% of its base recharge. So for IH, that's 1000/5 = 200s. That's still nearly two minutes of downtime.

Assume you slot with 6 level 50 IOs. That's 118.16% after ED. Add 70% from Hasten. Add another 85% from IOs. That's still only 273.16%. Add that to the base and you're still 130% away from the recharge cap. You'd need a couple Speed Boosts.

SF, are you sure about that? I could've sworn the recharge of IH was much lower than that. Memory and MIDs (can't access CoD atm) tell me the base recharge on IH is 650. So at the recharge cap, it'd be 130 seconds, or 40 seconds of downtime.

Holy necromancy Batman! I think EvilGeko should be renamed NecroGeko for this one!

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope there was an open question (By you no less) that needed comment.

You mean, like, the very question that was answered (by you no less) earlier?

(I still think NecroGeko has a catchy ring to it...)

Told ya before Tex and I'll tell you again. Very nice work on the Shark.

As for Shark Week...

This is one of those pieces I just leave on the screen and absorb. I honestly lost track of time looking over all the detail that went into it. One of my absolute favorite pieces Graver has done yet.

Wow.

I *love* Short Circuit.

Just remember to never make yellow your primary(main) color, there is nothing more irritating than a bright yellow. O.O

Okay, that costume is hillarious.

Starwind, I just type in the address code by hand. It's not that hard. It looks like this:

<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre>Text to be linked</pre><hr />

Now, to use an example you posted:

<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre>Probably one of my all time favorite shots.</pre><hr />

Which would look like this:

Probably one of my all time favorite shots.


Make sense?

Congrats on your first 50 Star!

Oh beautiful! Look at those mountains!

How not to end a respec trial.

The best is when you blow up the reactor after you succeed the trial. Regardless, that's an awesome shot.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sarrate, take a closer look. That's exactly what the screen shot is. If you fail the mission, you never see it blow.

Ahh! Well, you can tell how often I fail respec trials...

[edit: Oh, I think we need more sequels and remakes. Who needs original ideas when you still have old ones to milk?!? /sigh]

Horror indeed! I'm going to have nightmares... nightmares! Hope you're happy.
