It better be only knocked down to scale 7 damage.
Thanks Arcana for some reason people were looking at the Nuke change as a negative so it helps if you word it differently so they can understand or relate.
I was starting to wonder about some of our posters...

I think that Nature Affinity has the Second best Rez in the game. Howling Twilight is the best of course lol.

I am a fan of vampires as well especially if it has something to do with the World of Darkness-Vampire the Masquerade.
I'm going to make a Nosferatu when Bio Armor hits. He's going to be StJ/Bio which is perfect for a Nosferatu. I had a Malkavian and a Tremere but I deleted them...I might remake them soon. -

145seconds base recharge for PBAoE nukes. ~170-180ish for target AoEs (Thuderous Blast and Probably Blizzard).
I'm curious how Blizzard is going to be handled. It currently deals 9.12 pet scale damage, which is about 1.65times the "Average" damage from Nova on a Blaster. If Nova is dropping to 4scale, then for Blizzard to maintain it's relative damage it would get dropped to ~7.425 pet scale (for Blasters). I get the feeling that it'll get reduced a good deal further than that though. -
There were a few other interesting discussions going on like when someone asked about Water Assault and Synapse said "Maybe oneday but it would have to be after water melee and water armor." I know that from the tone in his voice that it's something that may happen next year but I admit my heart skipped a few beats when I thought about having Water Melee, Water Armor and Water Assault.
Someone also asked about Water Pets and Zwill and Synap. used their best overly dramatic poker face and said "that sounds like a good idea...*tiny smirk*". So maybe Water Control? Ugh...curse this game! lol Someone tell the Art Team to stop being so awesome. -

It depends a lot on the type of power you're using. In general the chance of them firing off together will be about the same or increase in simple click powers but will decrease in powers that have a frequent tick rate (auras and pseudo-pet powers like Caltrops).
Correct! Sadly though it will take my a while before I gets through to my thick skull. I also need to stop calling ATIO...which I have caught myself doing several timesQuote:Originally Posted by Thirty-Seven

You are correct. However if they fire at the same time then the magnitudes get added together and become knockback.
Interesting...so when it comes down to it it's all about the chance of them firing off at the same time...that still wouldn't bother me if it doesn't happen very often. I definitely need to test this out.Quote:Originally Posted by PRAF68_EU
In either case, you would expect to get at least an occasional KB. If we assume a power with 100% inherent KB chance, then that would become 100% KD, which would be increased to KB every time Ragnarok procs, so about 25% chance. If the power doesn't have any KB/KD, then you would get KB whenever both proc at the same time. Which should be around 5% chance.
It sounds like with the upcoming PPM changes the chance of KB might get worse.
It's a shame that they can't code it to where the procs wouldn't fire at the same time but that's impossible unless it's the same proc. For instance how you cannot receive a double stack of the Forced Feedback proc buff...I know that's like comparing Apples to Oranges but you get where I am coming from lol. -
Well Illusion would be more powerful on a controller than a dom due to controllers having access to their secondaries which act as Force multipliers...mix that their APP blast and boom no contest. You have controller secondaries out there that can provide over -80 to -100% Res roughly each mob and controllers have blasts.
If I was a member of the powers team I would take the Illusion set and do a complete overhaul. Phantom Army should stay but powers like Spectral Wounds, Superior Invisibility and Spectral Terror would have to be scrapped.
Spectral Wounds...since Doms can't really benefit from it much just make another power in its place or maybe make it a cone? I don't know...I would say it has no place being on the Dom side of things but look at Gravity...hrmm.
Superior Invisibility is not a Dom friendly power and it's a horrible power. They could replace this power with a click buff called "The Illusionists Guise" it could grant the caster +HP and +Absorb.
Spectral Terror is a great power but we need something else in its place to help with domination...Maybe a somewhat slow Recharging pbaoe power. Maybe a Mag 2 Pbaoe fear that has a chance to proc for Mag 3 50% of the time? I'm just throwing numbers out there. Or since it's Pbaoe I guess Mag 3 straight out of the box would not be OP.
You could also make PA killable but have their toughness equal to that of Singularity of Animate Stone...I think when it comes to it the Devs should come up with their ideas and then present it to us the players and we should take it from there...changes for Illusion needs lots and lots of feedback IMHO. -
Quote:Hrmm...shouldn't both procs be firing at separate times though? The ragnarok chance of KD proc doesn't change a power like OF's IO does. So I would think that having both procs being slotted should only affect the chance of KD not the increased mag of KB.Originally Posted by PRAF68_EU
I wouldn't consider that a bug. It works exactly the same as if you slot Ragnarok in any power that does knockdown. It adds the mag of the Ragnarok proc to the mag of the knockdown, resulting in knockback.
This also happening supposedly in non KB powers...I need to test this first to be sure my self before I can go any further. -
Quote:you'd be surprised how many people out there who Take medicine to heal or rezz their allies.Originally Posted by TigerKnight
If I wanted to heal my allies, I'd play a healing set already. If I'm playing a healing set, then I probably wouldn't use the other powers in the pool.
I think most of the people who pick medicine now pick it mostly for aid self or (In the case of MMs) to heal their pets. This isn't really that good that a person who takes aid self would want it. Hey, maybe this is another power mostly targeted at MMs since they haven't fixed the pet AI yet! They wander off and get hurt? Least you can fix them. ;P -
Quote:I agree. It sad really I Love, LOVE, LOVE Red Side...but due to lack of teaming...I just avoid it now and it's a shame because it's chocked full of awesome levels and content *sigh*. I don't think there's any possible way of fusing the two worlds.Originally Posted by Agent White
The problem is, there's very few ways to spin it that it would make sense or wouldn't involve adding villain content blueside and hero content redside. And trust me, rogues and vigilantes have shown that just getting to play tourist is a very one trick pony if you don't have friends on the other side to play with.
Maybe if the made a COH2 they could Take the Praetorian approach that way you can have both sides in one world. *Day dreams* -
I know that it would ruin their side switching system they really need to completely combine both sides.
-
I like how they int towards there being new upcoming IO sets that solve that affect non damage powers. Check at 35:50

Also there's a bug someone reported about combining the Ragnarok Proc with the Overwhelming proc...it's causing KB
-
Oh yeah...a bit before the Dev swap was when they started fixing things in the game like hardcore. I remember it clearly.
-
It wouldn't be any more OP on a Dom than it already is on a Controller...it would just leave the Dom with nothing to do. I think that they would have to change Phantom Army a bit...or rework illusion and give doms a different version altogether like what they did with Darkness Affinity.

Milady...are you actually being serious about you being upset about the Nuke change?

Quote:Well there's your answer then LOL. It's a shame though...maybe in the future you should try Ice Armor on a Stalker?Originally Posted by Talen Lee
My strongest reason against stalker at this point is that my 50 StJ stalker is so disgusting I imagine I'd always be comparing the two.
It made my stalker so sturdy that I ended up sometimes Tanking for teams. It makes Ninjitsu blush. -
Yes, what StratoNexus said...you can never have to much Freezing Rain lol.

Stalker all the way. Icy Bastion is amazing.

(Looking for group) Forming a Pocket D ERP badge team need three more, and some olive oil: Empaths preferred..
You think that is bad just wait until the slopes are open again...some players ERP right in front of the Elf lol. I don't mind RP'ers though...it's what makes this game so awesome. -
Quote:Yeah, I found that out only a year ago : /...it's a weird Nuke no doubt. This Nuke change is such a big deal. I may not be a Vet but this gives me fuel for my "I remember when discussions" lolOriginally Posted by Agent White
I think the confusion is that Thunderous Blast is a scaling crash. It wipes out your recovery every time, but the actual endurance drain is based on the number of targets, so if you just use it on 1 target it doesn't seem like there's a crash.
But yeah, it definitely has a crash. I can't wait to get to use it as an actual AOE now.

I better get my rocking chair ready! -

Have not read through the entire thread but I agree about Mass Confussion.
I have always wished Mass Confussion had the following changes:
Renamed to Brainwash- Up to 3 enemies will be "faction changed", they will become allies. The rest will be confused as normal.
- You wont be able to "faction change" any more enemies until some of your 3 allies die.
- Only Minions can be "Faction Changed", not bosses nor mission objectives.
-
Thunderous Blast has a Crash.
The only crashless nukes currently are Rain of Arrows, Overcharge, Hail of Bullets, Geyser and Full Auto.
I think that Rain Of Arrows wins overall...with HoB second, Full Auto third, Geyser 4th and Overcharge 5th...I probably should switch Geyser and Overcharge but I'm not a fan of overcharge.
