What he said ^^

[ QUOTE ]
acrobatics or hover is recommended as DA offers no knockback protection. combat jumping helps with immobilisation altho cloak of darkness always helps with this so not a necessity. if u want super jump as your travel power then the leaping pool comes in very useful.

DA is very end heavy so stamina is a must.

[/ QUOTE ]

CoD immob protection is worthless, only mag 1 or something.

stamina is a must, playing one without it is crazy

but Ninjitsu has special powers to help, such as AoE Placate


[/ QUOTE ]
Its not AoE placate, its AoE blind if I am correct. Placate makes you 'hidden' to a target, and able to get the instant criticals/full AS damage, blind however simply means they cannot see you, but you are not in the 'hidden' state.

[/ QUOTE ]

we have both

blinding powder : Cone, -ACC, -Perception, Sleep, Confuse
smoke flash: Aoe placate (long activation time tho)

well, what my sig says

it quite nicely describes it. debt never bothered me, im DM/DA you die a lot (well, you used to in the olden days, i3/i4..... damn, the end drain was bad :/)

[ QUOTE ]
is there any info on caleb other than speculation? like;
where he actually spawns Supposidly Thorn Isle in the Nerva Archipelago
how to spawn him you cant, no GM can be 'triggered' he has/will have a random timer
his level probably whats high in nerva, so i reckon about lvl 40?

ive searched the EU and US boards but no luck.
there isnt any devs comments on him yet, just wondered if you chaps know anything about him.

A Mastermind's PFF 3 Slotted with +2 Defence SOs - 119.24% Def

Blaster generic attack slotted with 1 +2 Acc SO - 77.45% (taking into account -25% acc for PvP zones)

Add Aim and Build up unslotted for ToHit you get an extra 162.5% Acc... which would make a grand total of 239.95% Accuracy giving you a 120.71% chance ToHit the Mastermind with PFF...

Now correct me if I'm wrong please, I only just recently started doing numbers.

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
Actually Hobo, you are mistaken about acc the true formula is

Net tohit = (1 + accuracy enhancements) * [ base tohit * (1 + tohit buffs - tohit debuffs) - (defense - defense debuffs) ]

If you plot in your figures you will see that you will miss quite alot against PFF. Its too late for me to bother doing it now.

[/ QUOTE ]

that would be (figuring this goes as 100% = 1.00)
with 3 slotted aim and build up with +3 SOs
aim = +125.88%
bu = +78.68%
makes for a total of 204.56% = 2.0456 in the formula

PFF = 119.6% = 1.196 in the formula
Net tohit = (1 + 0.33) * [ 0.5 * (1 + 2.0456 - 0) - (1.196 - 0) ]

Net tohit = 1.33 * [ 0.5 * 3.0456 - 1.196 ] = 0.434644

which gives you a 43.46% chance.

ouch. 6 slots cant defeat 3 slots. PFF truly is a powerfull power. too bad MM have it, as they can just send in their pets with virtually no risk

lets see what an empath can do here (just for fun)
another 47.21% ACC with fortitude

Net tohit = (1 + 0.33) * [ 0.5 * (1 + 2.5177 - 0) - (1.196 - 0) ]

Net tohit = 1.33 * [ 0.5 * 3.5177 - 1.196 ] = 0.7485905

74.85% which is rather nice again

top tip of the day, blasters: get yourselves a pet empath (not just for fortitude )

shadow scrappers dont need to worry about the numbers all the time because of the fear aura,


[/ QUOTE ]

you ARE kidding right?

CoF usefull in its FEAR function? BWUAHAHAHAHAH! now i have coffee all over my keyboard... seriously, since the nerf its useless as a fear (that ALWAYS has a gap iirc, and now is REALLY inaccurate and low mag)

and yes, regen is still one of the most powerfull sets, i think you can just about (or just miss by a few secs) alternate MoG and IH, which both make you VERY strong.

SR just dominates PvP (scrapper wise) because the base ACC is lowered to 50% in PvP (yes, even a /DA or /Inv can beat any other scrapper, thats up to the player, im talkin in general here)

And as for SR + FF = pwnge, i can say the same about DA/INV + Sonics or really any scrapper with FF/Sonics buff, the 2 sets are amazing (try combining them for uber fun-ness )

I don't think there's much point getting CoD for the immob resistance, you want acrobatics for knockback resistance and to get that you need Combat Jumping, which I think gives a higher mag resistance anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]

+stealth/+perception and no -spd, one of the best cloaks in the game (if you go PvP that is, altho PvE has it uses)

[/ QUOTE ]

I said there was no reason to get it for the immob resistance, not that you shouldn't get it at all

[/ QUOTE ]

never said that btw :P
just saying, yknow

anyway, i dont know for sure, but CoD alone wont see through hide, CoD + CM/Clarity WILL iirc, and and to see through hide+stealth, you would need CoD + 2x/3x CM/Clarity

Hey smiles, you the man...

I have another event for you and for you police. I dont care you menaces about SG or stupid bases consequences of you pvp lesons... you only spare vanity and gangster brotherhood. See you there big talker and consider this a warning too.

Will you be hero, or villain? Just asking so I know which toon to log in to kick your butt.

[/ QUOTE ]

I beleive this truely awesome pvp player will be on as his hero, I assume this as I was told after advising someone who was suggesting a christmas pvp zone amnesty to look in this thread

[ QUOTE ]
Hey obot, you beter stay hideen at that party (like you normally do) because if i see you you will die for sure (like normaly happened at pvp)

Oh! and your runners friends too.

[/ QUOTE ]

Apparantly this uber player will kill me if Im unhidden (even though from what I can tell in his garbled post, I die for sure anyway) And from more of his garbled posts hes apparantly in the PVP zones all the time killing us, strange really as I know virtually all that I play against.

Hey Macintosh, whats the name of your terrifying character so we can all run away LOL

[/ QUOTE ]

You always die by my inflamed hands! MWUHAHAHAHAHA!

anyway, christmas party will be a blast, altho i WILL be there on my strongest char, make sure i dont die too easily :P

hmm, Shift stuck in steel, crashed and still logging out i hope you guys arent done when i can log back in

if you plan on running both RI and EF, slot both of em with 2 end rdx at least.

i have EF 3 end rdx (no rech, it recharges pretty fast) and RI 2 end rdx, 2 tohit debuffs, 2 def debuffs. and i can nuter almost any AV/GM and survive

end is a bit of a problem, running both toggles is hard on your end if you want to fight (even with rad primary) AM sort of fixes the problem a bit, but you might need to slot with end reducers later on (i intend to put em in in the lvls 40-50, to make life easier)

might pull shift out of the dust again, i can help in the hold phase :P

I tried to write down some numbers tonight using Frostwork and it looks a bit confusing

These numbers are from Frostwork with three healing SOs on it.

So it seems that the hitpoints increase depends on the AT you cast it on.
I tested it on Mastermind of level 25,36 and 37 and for all three it increased by +100%
A brute got roughly +60% increase, a corruptor and a stalker got +50%.
I know that it looks seems odd, but thats i get when looking at the numbers.

And the buff lasts for 2 mins. I didnt pay attention to the time for recharge, but it feels like somewhere around 90 secs. I will stop the time when i get online again tomorrow.

[/ QUOTE ]

does it stack with other /ice corruptors frostwork?

Spirit tree is apparently getting upgraded on test in US maybe here too

[/ QUOTE ]
On the Training Room since yesterday, if you want to give it a try.

[/ QUOTE ]

it went from 100% healing buff to 200% healing buff. making it half as crappy.

So you got this BIIIIG heap of [censored], than you take half away, and you stil got a BIIG heap of [censored].

thats how i view the Sprit Tree/Triage Beacon issue.

[/ QUOTE ]

i'd really wish they took this one out, as there are players from holland (the netherlands) who know how to play/teamplay.
and i think this gives a bad name to those that care about a good playstyle and saving their team-m8's...

but thats my opinion...

*coughs*

[ QUOTE ]
Well, i don't have a PB, but i'd tranfer the slots from Glinting Eye to Build Up and the pets, because i've heard you guys are mostly scrappers, and the human range attacks aren't so great in the warshade.

[/ QUOTE ]

i wouldnt do that. Pets SUCK, high dmg yes, but low accuracy, and while they are photon seekers, you'd rather call them photon [censored]. Their AI simply is worhtless, they go AWAY from the target and hover, instead of going to it and exploding. Only way to make them fire 'for sure' is to call them in mid-fight as just another extra attack. in which case you can better use the slots in build up and you r ranged attacks (which dont suck imho)

e.g im gonna calculate what the chance is that ALL toggles drop (due to obsidian falling) with a 100-75-50 attack.

[/ QUOTE ]

I make it approx. 27.6%

And yes, I am bored. Since you ask...

[/ QUOTE ]

i got 36.6 for the first attack, you made a typo?

anyway, adding the 2nd rampes it up to about 2/3rds

for explanation see the above.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope, your calculations look fine. I was working from Question's 9 starting toggles.

[/ QUOTE ]
filling in Qs 9 toggles (does anyone think thats mad much?

1st Attack: (1.00*(1/9))+(0.75*(1/(9-1)))+(0.50*(1/(9-2))) = 0.2763
2nd Attack: (0.75*(1/6.75))+(0.50*(1/(6.75-1))) = 0.1981
0.2763 + 0.1981 = 0.4744

which would still give you a 50ish % chance. a helluvalot considering its a sure win.
