Shh. They ruined AE, they ruined my HamiOs, my Peacebringer was broken before I got here.... Please someone hide this thread before they decide to ruin Super Strength too.

I might look twelve, but I'm still older and more clever than you.

The Kheldian Fridays event has a primary focus of having fun. I don't think Stone, myself, or any of the other regulars ever advertised it as something to the degree of, "Please transfer here if you have a specific task force that you would like to do with only Kheldians and you can't find a team for it anywhere else."

This is a community event, where all the regulars are good friends who happen to enjoy playing Kheldians. It also happens that quite a few of us are very good at playing our Kheldians, which is probably what earned Protector the "Unofficial Kheldian Server" title.

We managed to do great things, such as breezing through all Kheldian ITF's, Lambda, Apex, and Tin Mage. But we never encouraged outsiders to join us, unless those outsiders happened to be friends of one or more of us, like Dechs. (Note: We never discouraged it, either. The door always was and remains open.) We just ran the events, people saw what we were doing, and a few from outside the server chose to join us.

Sorry for the history lesson. I just felt that it was in order, since New Dawn seems to have taken our reputation out of context and assigned some unwarranted sense of expectation to it. Carry on!

I think a Posi part 1 or 2 would be in order, to help get my baby Warshade up to snuff.

The Bright Nova is still susceptible to teammate griefing, and Human Form does more AOE damage than Tri Form can. The only benefit I could see would be a Human/Dwarf build that used Dwarf Flare (KD) instead of Human Flare but that would require instant form shifts and toggle suppression, and even after all of that, the Dwarf Flare would still be griefed by the KB in other attacks- I'd only be able to use it and hit max targets for the initial attack against a spawn. After that, it'd be back to the insane scattering. No thanks.

Well the resistance value per target is an important thing to keep in mind for me because there are many times where I have only a couple of targets available to me, see: AV fights, Incarnate trials. It just seems best to me to cap resists off with the minimum amount of targets necessary.
Well if I'm not mistaken (don't have Mids up) you slot your Eclipse for End Mod. It seems better to me to pick up a recovery bonus that works all the time than devote slots to having more end netted back to me from Eclipse. I also play human form though, so my end usage is considerably higher.
Haha yeah, this is the lowest my global recharge has ever been but with the addition of Dark Detonation I hardly feel more is necessary. I previously built past the Perma Eclipse/Three Fluffies threshold in order to keep my AOE attack in Unchain Essence cycled as often as possible, but with a second AOE recharging in ~6 seconds, building more recharge doesn't feel necessary.
I'll make a Tri Form build as soon as form shifts don't take an hour and I don't have to be faced with the option of spending 15 minutes turning all my toggles back on every time I want to use Dwarf Mire.

Haha yeah. I wouldn't be so bitter about it if I hadn't spent 5 billion inf. (probably more than the entirety of many of the builds posted in the Kheld forum) on two level 53 Nucleos, heh.

You mean because they couldn't form an all-Kheld STF on demand on a Friday night? We pre-organized the All-Kheldian Lambda trial we did on Protector and we beat the hell out of it. Everyone's favorite MFing Warshade, Dechs Kaison, even transferred over just for the event. No need to doubt the Kheldian activity on Protector.

AIB your slotting still needs 6 targets to cap out your Eclipse, which I still think is silly. Look at the last build I posted in this thread, it takes one extra slot for Eclipse but still caps resists with 5 targets and remains perma without alpha... And has decent accuracy values (though not as good as the accuracy values were with the Nucleos. Meh, at least I get an extra HP bonus now.)

Stop arguing with me about trivialities every time you post here and I won't have a reason to be touchy.

I stripped down and retired my human form Peacebringer because I just couldn't take it. I spent a crapload of inf. on his build, got him to a point that seemed perfect on paper... And then I still hated him. I wanted to like him so badly, but here's the problem.

My Warshade solos 54x8 Rikti like they're a joke. To me, that's the 'starting point' for testing out a new build. When I ran my Peacebringer through Borea caves, it was just a nightmare. I mean, sure, he killed everything, but the scattering drove me insane. I had a constant AOE chain, but one of those AOE's was Solar Flare. That meant I had to be in melee range to use it, and it recharged quickly....

It's sort of hard to use a melee AOE consistently when the AOE itself (plus your other three, in the cone, the TAOE, and seekers) scatter everything out of melee range. It also comes with inherent Hover, which I used because I'd be stupid not to take the free defense. Hovering from scattered group of three to scattered group of three for Solar Flare isn't even logical.

So, in a nutshell, I scattered mobs everywhere which made it harder to kill them- I had to resort to using single target attacks in many cases instead of the fast AOE cycle I built for because the enemies were all over the freaking map after 2 powers.

It's not fun for me. It's messy and it's ugly and it doesn't have anywhere near the "flow," the perfect synergy and harmony, that good old fashioned Warshade destruction has.

Edit: Because I forgot to mention the LF crash. The HP crash is a non-issue because of the instant HP recovery tools available to Peacebringers.... But man, that endurance crash every 90 seconds is the worst. I can't stand it. You're always going to be reliant on blue inspirations, no matter how tough the fight is. Conserve can only be up every other crash. I don't like indiscriminately relying on inspirations.

You also need KB to keep you alive because you're a child.

Nucleolus Exposures in Warshade's Eclipse enhance Damage Resistance and accuracy.

Ribosomes in a damage aura would be pretty tricky too.

Why are you using the names of sub-par Kheldian powers? This guy is playing a WARSHADE,not a KBbringer

Please stop trying to nitpick/pick fights with me. It gets old quick.

Sure there is. I know people who have run the same builds on their mains for a long time and have no plans on changing them at any point.

The last I heard, they were aware of the multiple types bug but didn't think it warranted their time. Because it didn't.

And I think it's a perfectly fine comparison. It still comes down to game resources. They choose to use the resources available to them, of which there are many, to do things like nerf the multiple types HamiO slotting which no one was complaining about and most were enjoying, and nerfing the AE into oblivion which more were enjoying than complaining about.

Presumably the reason they are able to pay their employees to spend time on things like this is that, well, we give them money to do so. It would only seem logical to me that they used the money we give them to pay different employees to work on things we actually want worked on like my previous examples. Instead, they gave our money to the employees whose job it was to nerf things that were far from game breaking and considered positive by most players.

I just wish they would spend time fixing things that people actually want fixed (long form shift times, toggle suppression anyone?) before they start fixing things that everyone is okay with as-is.

I've been playing around with some of these things. I switched my settings up to have right mouse rotate the camera and it seems that the camera spastically auto-rotates less, but when it does happen it's still just as annoying.

I also don't like that wasd is tied to a "back view" perspective, instead of being based on the actual perspective of the character? I know I'm wording this very poorly, but for example: if you are viewing your character from a certain angle other than back view, the movement keys seem to work "backwards," instead of how most would naturally assume they would work. I don't know if this is making sense or not.

Haha, her hair is actually brown, it's just hard to see in the picture. I didn't wanna make mine a lizard skinned, white haired old lady like yours.


Oh, and my main's Void costume:

Ah, that is neat. I feel like this should be a default setting- In just about every formal review I've read/watched about the game, the camera has been a point of contention.
