This.

Except for the deletion part. I have a warshade half-way through the game, and he's doing...

... what I'd expect a Defender with a no-debuff set* to do pre-damage boost.

* such as Force Fields

Also, isn't Conserve Power an overlapping power they'd have to change?

1. I feel that elite bosses should be considered peers to your character in terms of power.

2. Elite Bosses regularly on melee characters. I have taken down Ms. Liberty as a Hero-rank on my Thugs/Poison before, and I was slightly disgusted that that was possible with just SOs, but obviously proud of myself.

3. Possibly, but I don't know whether for better or worse.

4. I hate soloing EBs on ranged characters other than masterminds. Also on stalkers.

I agree with Bill's last comment that the uni, bi, and triform choice is what makes Kheldians themselves and is the main reason to play them.

Yet on the flip-side, I do also believe a buff would be in order. There's a few suggestions that were said in other threads that I could get behind:
- make the human toggles only suppress when in form, instead of shutting off
- a few more slots may not hurt
- other stuff I can't remember

Also, I feel I should ask what you guys think: were Kheldians intended to switch forms mid-battle?

The only people who know whether they exist or not are the devs.

EDIT: ... and people doing things they shouldn't be doing.

Then you have people rig it with mesmerize, causing it to be a race of who can keep their favorite Hero awake and confused.

Plus you may want to choose someone other than Sister Psyche, that way the last man standing doesn't have psionic resistance.

I'm with Sensei on this one: I don't think you've quite hit the solution, Baka, but we're getting closer.

Another possible fix to this might be to flag the last pet to go tanker every time you tell everyone to attack with petcomall.

It just never made sense that a Bruiser with INVULNERABILITY-type powers would say "hey, Pyro, you go first."

I had that thought the other day while watching someone play the Recluse Strike Force: why not just gather eight mind dominators and have them spam normal Confuse (since it can be stacked) on whatever Hero they want, let him kill everyone, and then hold him to death.

The plan itself sounds way easier than the nuking-shivan-vengeance-hail-mary we have now.

EDIT: Also, I tend to lose bets, so whoever I bet on would probably die. :P

Like this?

Granted I just screencapped it myself.

I've been having mixed feelings about the issues for a while now. MA was very shaky and I still don't like how they executed it. But I digress.

Might I point out that the two most prominent examples of large zone-changes were, pre-overhaul, almost completely barren and without real purpose on their own. The Rikti Crash Site and Faultline both had no self-contained storyarc contacts within and nothing special, then suddenly had a full-fledged military force and a fairly-rebuilt city with housing, respectively.

Whereas Ouroboros has quite a few things inside of it, including mini-taskforce contacts. So changing a zone like that (if we even call it much of a zone) would probably be a big "no-no" in the dev's book.

But hey, I could be wrong, right?

EDIT: also, sorry for such a big chunk of text for two simple thoughts. I have to work on keeping things succinct.

For the most part, set bonuses are always active. I swear there was something about exemplaring below the level of the IO set or such, but I can't remember it in detail.

And as for the speed debuffs, I don't know if it's possible to get enough speed bonuses to counteract it. The only power you can have active during Granite or Rooted is Swift, which isn't very much on its own.




If you don't mind speed boost, make friends with a kin (or at least cross your fingers for them to show up on teams). They are the speed-boost crack to the granite-armor stoners.

If you want to stop Granite's recharge slow, you'll need lots of set bonuses.

Even then, though, knowing you'd go faster without it makes detoggling it tempting.
