  1. OMG I must have that Lusca!
  2. It's a shame this thread is about only Kb2kd...I have some awesome ideas for adding it to non KB powers like Caltrops and Psychic Shockwave.
  3. These changes will breathe life into Ice Blast no doubt. Blizzard is still my favorite Nuke in the game...it just makes you feel...OH so powerful.

    Blizzard is a Nuke that can be a game changer...much like RoA from Archery but on a different scale.

    These changes make me look at Nukes sooo differently now... It will deal crazy damage even more than before but one cannot ignore the control side of things. Now certain combos will be even more attractive.

    A Cold/Psy Defender would just be easily putting out bursts of -100%+ Recharge.

    Dark/Dark Corr or Fender will be dishing out bursts -100%+ -to Hit

    Elec/Elec blaster will now make Elec/ Doms jealous.

    Ugh! I need to save up for more slots because when this hits Mids/Live I will probably roll 2-5 new toons.
  4. No matter how you look at it Mind is lacking and the same goes for Ice and Gravity *looks around* <_< >_>.

    You can nerf or normalize Seeds of Confusion that's fine but it doesn't solve the issue with Mind.

    Enjoy
    O_O



    thanks.
  6. Some powers should not be nerfed...some should. Instead of nerfing look at Mind...the entire set needs a little pick me up.
  7. *Blush* Ok you can point and laugh but I'm clueless! Is there a fast way to slot a power? Like if I pick the Ragnarok IO and I want the entire set slotted in the power...or do I have to do it the ol fashioned way?

XD

    Thanks for the advice though everyone
    I took the Fire route...but to be honest I would make two builds! I pick fire only on /Fire Doms. I'm a fan of /Ice but one cannot deny the awesomeness of the /fire/fire combo.

    All in all, Seeds of Confusion on old style doms, while a decent signature control power but only moderately above performance compared to the other sets the AT was released with.

    The ability to use and abuse domination along with the proliferation of the set and the empowering of Doms helped highlight just how out of line SoC is.

    It'd be kinda like if old 'only crit on slept or held foes out of hide' Stalkers got Titan Weapons. It probably wouldn't make any waves in its performance beyond the steep limits of the AT. With all the changes they have now? I'd say Titan Weapons on a Stalker would be *the most* effective melee character, bar none.
    Spot on.
  10. Hrmm...I love Sharks...I am definitely looking forward to this.

    I love Burnout...during Itrials I always end up giggling because Two Tar Patches stacked also with Ice Storm x 2 and Blizzard x 2 is a beautiful $#@%^*! sight!!!

    Now I can accomplish this pre Ageless!
  12. Rad/Fire is an AMAZING combo but they die OH so fast...quicker than my doms...well my doms can take some punishment but my blaster cannot.

    I plan to dust him off once the blaster secondary changes hit live.

    My Rad/Fire...if accompanied by an Empath can kill just as fast or faster than my Plant/Fire Dom...and that my friend is impressive.

    At this point Ice Storm being fixed wouldn't surprise me either.. (And RoF on Corruptors)

    I hope I'm wrong.
    I hope that you are wrong as well haha. *crosses fingers*

    I'm not a fan of FF myself but I can see why some players want absorb added to certain powers...my issue with the set was how boring it is lol. I'd rather see sets like TA, Poison or Sonic get some love first honestly...the sets are showing their age...and some of them like TA gets, passed over for no good reason...I mean I still can't believe how long OSA was broken!

    TA...well one can read this thread to find some awesome ideas/changes for the set and Sonic could use some absorb and definitely a recharge reduction for Liquefy or more! I always thought that the power was too weak and it is.

I have never seen enemy hit point bars drop so quickly even on my other Thugs Masterminds.

    But at least you were forced to agree that not all Masterminds are created equal.



    I'll never understand the hate Gravity got either. Both my grav controllers did just just fine before the buff. The control set that I really think that could use some love is Ice.
    Scythus what are you talking about? I love poison...I post in almost every poison thread on this forum...I just think of poison as my child lol...I want what's best for it and /Poison is powerful but it needs a little more love. It can be sometimes tough to solo with on a corruptor much like how TA is difficult to solo at times.

    Also, you didn't have to force me into saying that all Masterminds are not created equal! I already agreed with yah bud! I remember when Burnout was announced and I said to myself "man double gang war makes double Serum blush!".

    I don't want to talk about the control sets to much because I don't want to deviate from the poison discussion.
  16. I have a Cheesy Name to add to the list...my Water/Time Corr About Dam Time.

    You're right about Frostwork, I think that hawk or synap mentioned adding absorb to the power. Cold is amazing and it has aged very well. The only thing I would like to see is for Heat Loss's Recharge to be reduced a tiny bit...but now I'm just being greedy : /.

    Mercs...they are an exception...I love mercs but compared to every other MM Primary they are just...JUST AWFUL!

    EDIT: Not trying to attack you but comparing Mercs to Thugs is like comparing Gravity control (Pre-Buff) to Plant Control. I still can't believe the Devs allowed us to be able to have two Gang Wars out at the same time lol.

    Here's hoping for you Trickshooter! Maybe my lvl 50 TA/A would come off the shelf if they did buff 'em!
    Well, I haven't heard anything about TA getting any love but FF and Cold will probably see some down the line. A few players have asked the devs is there and plans for adding absorb to both sets and the devs agreed that it sounds like an awesome idea .

    I would love a buff to TA. I avoid it like the plague because of the lack of constant consistent mitigation/survival.

    Heh, Well I already have my list of powers set up for wind, water and nature...I have a set in mind for every AT.

    I'm particularly interested in making Water Melee.

    This Change is great though...I was regretting my Fire/Poison Corr but now he will be worth it....and I don't have to delete him.
  21. I think that we can all agree that Ice control will see some love...hopefully before the year is out.

    HA! That did make me chuckle quite a bit! lol
  22. I have re-read this thread over 4 times now...I'm still in disbelief...

    C'mon Scythus A MM can solo almost anything lol. "My Thugs/Pancake can solo Breast Cancer!"

    Poison is a bit rough on Corrs and it's very clicky. I tend to use Poison Trap mostly though...more than most Poison users.
