Concentrate on? I would concentrate on learning the powersets by playing the crap out of them, and then adjust my slotting as necessary. Storm is a very powerfull set that you will never get a feel for on paper. You need to play it to figure out how to keep the mobs in your freezing rain patch, or to use a wall and hurricane to corner a mob so your tornado can rip it a new one. Dont get me wrong, you dont need to do those things, but you should know how.

Or are you asking about IO bonus's? Stormies go through end like crazy. More end = more super happy fun times. Stormies debuff the frag out of stuff and have long recharging dmg powers. The more you can fire off that stuff the better. That translates into recharge. 'caning the crap out of mobs will drop their tohit to bargain basement levels, pair that with defence and you will be very sturdy. Bodyguard mode and keeping the mobs focused on you, and not on your bots will make your toon pretty much unkillable.

If you have any specific questions, please let me know.

Not very thematic for one thing? Even in the fighting pool, with two damage powers, they are actually kicks and punches, not an aura. I think it would be difficult to make one generic enough to be explained away by all the origins, etc.

Besides, giving my Spines/Fire scrapper access to another damage aura would be a bad idea.

Kinda the wrong attitude to have when defending one set over the other mate.

If pressed to make a choice, as I said in a recent thread, If I was playing a blaster with no defenses or mez protection, I would rather have an FFer. A scrapper that already has decent mitigation and mez protection? Pass me a cold one please.

Course I am more likely to see a leprechan in game before either. The last time I teamed with a (bad) FFer was 4+ years ago. Last time I teamed with a cold was when it was first proliferated to defenders.

You misunderstood.

And if that is what you meant, you might actually want to say something along those lines instead of fling poo.

Heh. If you pay attention, you might realize that Goat actually has some good knowledge of the market that he passes on to anyone who is interested.

Not sure what is more acurately labeled as dogma, people explaining how the market works, people with no idea how it works, but are willing to label as evil, or people that know how it works and try to imagine how evil it is for others.

What is it that you are good at Coyote? How have you helped out? With passive aggressive insults in order to support the underdog? Pot meet Kettle.

Don't forget your AE foodstamps, where you can gamble that you will get feta. Oh yeah, and sell all the other food ingredients you got while rolling to Wal-mart and pay for the whole dinner, not just the feta!

I find it difficult to empathize with your friends not having patience to buy things on the market. Perhaps part of the problem with them being unmotivated to learn how the market works is that they get stuff from you for free.

Rikti War Zone as well. Least that is why I tend to use it as a hub.

First I laughed. Then I cried. Now I just feel dirty.

Not fair. SS, SJ, and Flight suck in caves as well. besides, now that sprint's base speed has been buffed, you dont need much more than that to navigate caves.

I always found tp to be perfect to line up cones and such off a corner, the mobs stack up real well when using tp to corner pull.

Negatives... with the keybinds, you don't HAVE to take hover for it, but it sure is nice if your connection lags at all.

Heh. On my scrapper, your bubbler can be replaced by a single purple insiration. To my knowledge, there is not a recovery inspiation, a regeneration inspiration, or a recharge inspiration. I'll take the emp kthnxbai.

As for the topic, to my understanding, introducing cold as a set gave the devs a way to deal with the percieved unpoplularity of bubbles with the player base because of the passiveness of the set. That of course does not explain why defenders get both. I tend to agree with Fulmans that the devs are embarased by the set.


(Original Text: As for the topic, to my understanding, cold brings everything a bubbler does to the team and more. That of course does not explain why defenders get both, however, I tend to agree with Fulmans in that the devs are embarased with the set. - I stand corrected. Cold does not bring everything to a team that bubbles does, it brings different things. If I am playing my blaster, I may prefer to have bubbles to softcap my squishy ***. My scrapper would get more from teaming with a cold or an emp.)

Three perma forted blasters, with massive regen, recovery and status protection paired with an adren boosted scrapper can chill with me anytime.

Fulmens, It isn't oftern I will disagree with you, but I can't let this slide. There are many different ways to farm. Farming purps? Farming to PL? Farming for drops, etc.

Yes anyone *can* farm anything, but there are people in this game that turn it into an artform.

The biggest challenge I have had in this game was back when there wasn't an aggro cap, when you could have a whole map chasing you down, and you are running around using the map and breaking line of sight to keep the mobs on you. Convieniently, BLOS also gives you a breather till your next stop. Like any other content in this game though, once you do it a couple times, it takes no effort to trivialize it.

Leveraging the map, your powers, the damage types, mob resistances, getting the right recharge down for your attack string are all things a decent farmer takes into account when setting up. Often times taking something hard, and through repetition, making it easy. The first thing I do when setting up my farm is jack up the difficulty for my toon.

In the end, once you do run through the content a few times, It is all repetative. It matters not if you do it 20 times, or 2000...

Donna_ wasn't being elitist, She was telling the op to learn the ropes first. Replace "Worthy" with "ready".

Wrong game, sport.

Edit: Sorry. Not trying to sound like a ******. Pretty sure it was a reference to the begining of the NFL season.

Well said.

You forgot,
5) Farmers who market are the lowest of the low. They know they are hurting themselves by marketing, but are compelled to do it, even if it makes them throw up after a marketing session.

Bruising is the tankers new inherent power that was released with i18.

Considering you can send offline messages to global names, and emails to yourself, I have to agree.
