As for this week... I'm still not sure at this point. Maybe Master of Tin Mage or Master of Apex?
*sighs*
I miss being able to attend these. Still several more weeks until my work schedule snaps back to normal. -
Quote:Well, I don't personally consider Photon Seekers a nuke--the damage isn't enough, it has a high recharge, and there are no crashes to deal with. But, I can see your point. The main reason I bring it up is that you were taking some powers (glinting eye as well) but not slotting them up enough to actually make it worth it to take. If you don't plan on using them, that's fine, but you may want to rethink the slots/enhancements you are dedicating to them.Originally Posted by Alpha_XBS
The reason I underslotted Photon Seekers is because I'm not much a nuke-using person.
However, since you bring it up, I do see now that 5-slotting Kinetic Combat may not be worth it. I probably didn't pay enough attention to the set bonus and thought it was something else.
I could definitely move some of those slots to Photon Seekers though.
I chose Glinting Eye because I like the power, I know it's less desired over Gleaming Bolt and I could be persuaded to switch those. Would you leave the additional slot on Gleaming Bolt, or just use the one slot it comes with?
I 5-slotted Entropic Chaos on Nova Bolt for the recharge bonus.
White Dwarf has 4 slots at the moment, is that too many?
My playstyle is basically being able to do a little of everything. I enjoy Nova to do AoE damage (and some ST damage as well).
I switch to Dwarf when I need to be able to tank, do minor damage, and "control" a little with Flare.
And I stay in Human form in between and to focus on ST damage (Something that is lacking in my current build. Human form on my current build is basically useless except for using buffs).
Another goal is to get Light Form as close to perma as possible.
Nova Bolt is generally considered a skippable power to slot out on moderately priced (and up) builds, because of the high recharge you are already stacking, and because it's rather weak. You are only enhancing it power so much, what with its low base damage. Plus, with instant form shifting around the corner, it will become even easier to pop out of nova form and use your melee attacks if you plan on single targeting someone. Anyway, this part is mostly preference, so I wouldn't worry about it if you dislike the idea.
For White Dwarf, unless you really need that bit of defense you're getting from reactive armor, putting 3 extra slots on it is a bit of a waste. I'd throw a common resistance IO on it, or, if you have perma light form (and don't exemp past perma LF levels), you can throw a unique resistance IO on it.
If you can, I would recommend trying to work out a bit more DPS from a single target humanform chain. Another slot or two on Radiant strike and your glinting eye should help with that, perhaps add a proc as well. Something to think about.
-
You seem to be underslotting some of your powers (like photon seekers), and wasting slots on other powers (5 slotting kinetic combat, glinting eye, nova bolt, white dwarf).
What are/is your goals/playstyle? -
Ok, I've looked at your build.
Frankly, your slotting choices are pretty bad. And yes, you've focused too much (imo) on working on recharge bonuses, to the detriment of your enhancement values and other set bonuses. I'd recommend looking around this section of the forum at the other tri-form builds that are displayed (as there are quite a few), and see how they did it. I can help fix yours if you wish, but I'd recommend taking another shot at your build first, and finish slotting it. -
Second week in a row we got a new kheldian player to join us
We ran an ITF first:
And since we finished that rather quickly, we followed it up with a Tin Mage.
Those deaths were all Speey's, btw.
Until next Friday, guys!

One quirky thing I plugged in is 3 rangle/slows into Sunless Mire, with the hope of making the radius larger and doubling the coverage area. Mids doesn't show a change in radius, so my guess is that it won't work.

Quote:That shouldn't work. I have some defense items in a hallway with no control items, and they stay powered up. Granted, it isn't a control room, but it shouldn't behave any differently.Originally Posted by WanderingAries
I have NO idea if this works, but you could attempt to put a defense item in a control room that doesn't have any control creating items.

^^^^
This. If you want to say something when you're by yourself, ensure that you're in local chat, or your bind is set to say it in local. The game will otherwise, as you have seen, auto-detect that you are solo and remind you of that. (You can also use broadcast/request channels, and supergroup if you are in one.) -
Quote:I now have a warshade on Freedom in the SG as well.Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
Kheldian Fridays has its home on Protector but many of us also have a presence on Freedom One of these days we'll have to do a non-Friday event/tf shindig.

Lady Grey Task Force, we win the race by default.

Except some people, like myself, like to use Ouroboros as an "Exit Stage Left" to return to their side from the alternate side. Say, for example, you're a rogue that just finished the posi TF, and now you want to jump back over to Grandville. Instead of hopping in your ouro portal, you're stuck having to find an alternate way.
Perhaps a better solution would be to keep personal portals alignment tuned, and have "always open" Ouro portals in certain zones that were location tuned. -
Quote:I'd imagine it's because of the PITA factor of having to bring a character that can take care of each kind of Mito, along with having to bring enough EoE's to deal with the unresistable damage (which can otherwise just be ignored on normal runs).Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
With EB level regen, why has this TF not been soloed regularly??
I wouldn't have a problem with racing you, but you'll probably have to get mostly strangers to pad, because I'm sure many of us don't have 45+ characters left on Freedom.Quote:Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
Maybe if a few of you guys want to pad for me prior to the run this Friday, we can race Septipheran solo VS. Kheld Fridays on a LGTF Maybe a fair stipulation would be that I can stealth/speed and you guys can't. Do you accept? -
Quote:I haven't been able to find it myself, but I think Weakened hami has an Elite Bosses level of regeneration. What that is, I'm afraid I don't know off the top of my head. This is the most data I could find.Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
Do you happen to have regen numbers on weakened Hami? I'm pretty sure that Ageless +G Well would do the trick hold wise and we already know nothing else would be an issue, assuming the weakened Hami has less or comparable regen than an even level AV I should be able to pull it off with force-gimped attack chains.

I'd like Stone Melee to get spiced up a little. Give the option for something besides hammers, like a big stone sword.
For the lack of a better example, see this:

Quote:Yep, it does. Just join up on the Kheldian Fridays channel and look for us around 9pm EST.Originally Posted by sypher_vendetta
does this still happen, i would like to join in if thats ok? i have a level 50 warshade but can create a new one if thats ok with you guys, wouldnt mnd starting fresh and making my own warshade really good, let me know please many thanks.
In other news, we ran the Manticore tonight. We had this new guy named Septiphergirl join us. She kept dying.

Alternate idea:
Whenever they come up with a new tier9 VIP reward, move the previous one down a tier. So, when Mecha comes out, move elemental down to make it a tier 8 VIP, and celestial down to tier 7 VIP. That way, the veterans get their unique costumes to themselves for a little while, and the rest gradually becomes more and more accessible. Side benefit--no more missing out on old tier 9 items that get swapped out into the vault. -
Quote:If it's any consolation, I'm sure those clones will grow quickly with instant form shifting.Originally Posted by doomrider
*sigh... I miss you guys. Perhaps once i23 hits by then life will settle down and I can return to protector. At least maybe I can plant a few kheldian Doom clones.

Y'know, that doesn't just go one way. I mention PVPing - even casually - and I'll end up with messages long afterward that, even if it's from (say) a guide that helped someone or a message that fixed a problem, has "I don't usually bother talking to a PVPer" or that was helpful... for a PVPer. Even if what I said (or the guide, or whatever) had absolutely zero to do with PVP. (Which is most of it.)I can only discuss what I've seen, and I've seen a lot of pvp'ers taking out their anger about the current state of the pvp system (that was the excuse, in one's own words) on people that had nothing to do with the way it currently is. It doesn't encourage the signing up of new players looking to join ladders/leagues/whatever.Quote:Originally Posted by The_Masque
Caustic attitudes of PvPers... idk... man. I see a lot of it going the other way as well. Also, not ALL PvPers act that way. I don't think I have ever flamed a PvEr.
I'm sure it goes both ways. I've never seen it, but I don't doubt it.
As for this...this is another issue entirely. I imagine what you're talking about is when PvE'ers venture into PvP zones to get PvE rewards, and get repeated ganked by some bored PvP'er. This is a rather hairy subject to get into, so suffice it to say that I can see the arguments from both sides of the fence, and neither side is entirely wrong in their way of thinking.Quote:Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
Or someone goes into a PVP zone and starts yelling at the PVPers who are there - rare as it is - to not fight them and how wicked, evil, scum-of-the earth for *daring* to attack them in one of the only areas in the game they CAN PVP in. Even if they've said absolutely nothing about why they were there in the first place.
So - yeah, it's not just poor, innocent PVEers who are all sweetness, flowers and light and don't know a *single* four letter word getting picked on by evil PVPers. There's *quite* a bit of mud slung the other way, as well, and often *just* as unprovoked. -
Quote:Replace the #'s with periods, it doesn't work otherwise.Originally Posted by The_Masque
Interesting read, you forgot one though:
7) Caustic attitude on the forums from pvp'ers towards non pvp'ers. -
I'd prefer a filter that would auto-delete any temp powers that dropped on me, to be honest.

It sounds like he wants an AE iTrial.

My next video I'm getting ready to begin recording and creating is really going push my PB to the limits. I don't want to give away the surprise, but I will say that the mission I'll be running could very well be considered "Kheldian Hell" by most PB's/WS's. In fact, I'm worried it'll be so hard I may not be able to complete it.

That screenshot was from Jul 09. Blasters could deal with the game perfectly well back then and they can still deal with it now.
