The Grim Heaper

I'd love this... especially if it kept all enhancements in their previous spots (provided the slotting for the powers remained the same).

Heck; I'd burn two respecs if the darn thing would just leave my power trays alone afterward.

Well, not the safest assumption, apparently, but my build is beyond the point.

No, there is nothing inherently wrong with the IO. I just feel that if it is meant to be this useless in click powers, it should at least try to explain the differing methods of applying the two bonuses. suggestion 2 is a stretch goal at best.

My goal is only to help clear the fog of confusion that lead me to believe that this IO would work well in FoN in the first place.

While playing around with IO sets I don't usually use on a concept character, I slotted the Aegis unique. And, well, it didn't work quite the way I thought it would. That's all well and good, I'm no expert on our fair game, and sometimes the finer points elude me.

But I think the design of this IO needs a little work. If they don't want the Mez resistance portion on all the time like the psi resist, I'm ok with that, but I'd like one or two changes made.

1. State the differing mechanics on the IO. If you want both the psi and the mez resist to be active all the time, fine. If you want both only to function when the power is on (toggle or auto), fine. But them being different is unintuitive and is not indicated at all on the IO.

2. Please increase the duration of the mez resist. As it stands right now, with the IO slotted in Force of Nature, the mez resist kicks in only when the power is activated, and sticks around for about 10 seconds (which would work wonderfully in a toggle or auto which would refresh it ever 10 seconds). What I'm suggesting is increasing this to 120 seconds, on par with Numina, Miracle, etc. so that it is useful in a resistance click power.

Personally, I would very much enjoy option 3, make the mez resist function like the psi resist, and be on all the time. But I assume there's a reason for the current implementation, and seek to improve it's existing nature, rather than potentially risk increased resistance to the change.

*dismounts soapbox* Thank you for your time.

OK, well thank you everyone, looks like I've wasted a couple million (mostly in rare salvage) on that one then. Now that I know what to look for, I hit the clicky (force of nature on my defender, if you care to know) and I get ~20% in the various mes resists for... 5-10 seconds...

Seems utterly unintuitive to me, why one half of the bonus would work one way, and the other half a completely different way (wish it would at least last longer). But I don't expect it to change any time soon; so the only thing left to figure out is if I feel like going through the hassle of a respec to recoup some of the cost, or just slotting over. Leaning towards the latter.

I just slotted Aegis Psi/Mez Resist, and (after confirming that it does work as a global bonus, and is on even when the power isn't), I don't see the mez resist portion showing up in my combat attributes (just the text "aegis: psionic/status resistance" under damage resistance)

So, is the Mez portion working, or just not showing up? (or will I have to run trials with a stopwatch to find out?)

For some reason, after reading about 5/7 of this thread... I got a hankerin' to watch episode 200 of Stargate:SG1... Supermarionation universe FTW!

For anyone just tuning in, as far as I can tell;

PartyA believes the game-lore could only use divergent realities (each world is the same save for varying decisions along a time-line, resulting in similar, but potentially significantly different universes)

PartyB says it could just as easily be alternate dimension (ANYTHING could exist in an alternate dimension; H2O freezes at room temperature, dinosaurs still roam the earth, or even Supermarionation land!)

the rest of the thread is pretty much this.

First, I would tend not to put more than 3 slots in stamina... Maybe 4 If I can spare a slot.

2 lvl 50 endmod IOs gives a bonus of 84.8% (give or take effects of ED). thats +46.2% recovery rate, or ~0.77 end/sec

A third will take you to 99.1, which translates to +49.77 recovery rate, or ~0.82 end/sec. Anything beyond this is fairly pointless.

The performance shifter proc (in stamina) has a 20% chance to give you 10 endurance every 10 seconds, which works out to something like 0.20 end/second average. This does have the advantage that if for any reason your recovery drops to 0 (used your nuke, hit by certain attacks), you still get this gift of 10 endurance every time it successfully fires.

so for maximum efficiency out of stamina, I'd say 3 endmod and performance shifter proc (If you want, replace one of the endmod with performance shifter +42.4 endmod and get a windfall +5% run speed). You could also fit the PS proc, and 3 others from an endmod set (the solo endmod, and 2 endmod/X) The recovery set bonus (2.5 for performance shifter, 1.5 for efficiency adaptor) will offset some of the reduced efficiency while also providing a little bonus health (+1.88% PS, +1.13% EA)


Now, If you think the Performance Shifter proc is expensive, I'm about to probably blow your mind with this next suggestion for more recovery. Put both the Miracle and Numina's unique in Health (although I won't suggest putting a Panacea in there... But, you know, If you happen to engage in pvp, and just happen to get one as a drop... Personally I'd sell it for 1.5 billion or more, and finance the rest of my build.)

EDIT: also, if you haven't already, work on getting The Atlas Medalion, and Portal Jockey accolades. They increase your max endurance by 5% each, and since your recovery per second is based off a % of your max end, your recovery also increases by 5% for each of the two accolades.

Beyond this, your best hope is to look at ways to reduce your endurance consumption. Like many of the users above me; I'm not entirely sure if you understand the ramifications of the Enhancement Diversification system. more than 3 of any single enhancement type while slotting SOs, and common IOs is largely useless. The third it's self is largely neutered. Common (non set) slotting strategy for attacks is 3 damage, and the remaining slots any combination of accuracy, recharge, and end reduction. For toggles, it's usually an even split between end reduction, and whatever the power takes (defence, resistance, tohit, etc.)
(ymmv)

Yeah; sounds like a Jack/Eochai situation. They can stand there and hit each other all day until passing heroes can't even deal the minumum damage % to qualify for rewards.

Champion server forum. Down that way.

Glad you figured things out, but please, do not use Wikia. That site is no longer supported and I hear it has been inundated with malware and goldsellers.

The correct url to Paragon Wiki is http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Main_Page (or simply paragonwiki.com)

I find my computer can handle anything but Ambient Occlusion on the highest settings... water/reflections? no problem... Move A.O. anywhere beyond performance? 20fps hit per step.

But I'm fine with that, it isn't as drool inducing as the other two.
