Just a side note. Force Field has Aid Self for custom critters.

Only one power but still, thought it was worth mentioning

I've personally gotten the greatest use of the single target intagibility powers when duoed with a rad/dark or the like with target debuff AoE's

Example:

Duoing on my FF with a Fire/Rad

My friend uses his rad debuffs on a target of his choosing(usually a boss), then I hit it with detention field so that it can't attack or move(the debuff aura still affects enemies when the anchor is intangible)

This makes sure that it won't be killed until last.

This method can be transfered to any aura debuff such as darkest night, snow storm, etc.


Also, I make the detention field power Bright Red(my normal bubbles are Gold/Blue) to disinguish it and make it easily visible.

Alot of 50/50 here, thought I'd answer it so everyone could be clear on the correct answer


Pet resistance cap is indeed 90%

This INCLUDES psi, all that 100% resistance means is he has a 10% cushion before falling below 90%. His inherent 'Resistance' is simply an auto power which buffs the damage resistance, just because it has a 100% buff doesn't mean it can surpass the cap.



Here's a few pictures for the 'Pics or it didn't happen' people


Picture 1, a view of his DR combat attributes with sonic buffs

And Picture 2, a shot of one of my earth controllers with him taking psi damage.

Picture 2





Edit: I just realized I never answered the other question , the -25% to-hit is indeed his chance to-hit, however it is an arbitrary debuff as it is never cast on him for whatever reason. His to-hit chance is the same 75% base that all pets have.

Picture 3, a pic of him without accuracy enhancement against an even con minion, with the normal 75% chance to hit, the last of which has him buffed with my fortitude(a base 15% to-hit buff on a controller) for a 90% chance to hit

Picture 3

Just wanted to add this since it hasn't been mentioned:


Not only will the purple patch affect it, but the rank of an enemy also adds to-hit debuff resistance.

Lieutenants and Snipers get 10%
Bosses and Elite Bosses get 20%
And of course Arch-Villains get scaling resistance based on Level
(Examples: 60% at level 1, 85% at level 50, 87% at 54)


Edit: I was going to link to Paragonwiki, but I couldn't find a page that listed it

Here's the full details for anyone who likes to know everything about everything(*raises hand*)


Phalanx Fighting provides a constant base defense bonus.

5% for Tankers, 3.75% for Scrappers/Brutes. THIS BONUS IS UNENHANCEABLE.


It also provides a defense bonus for up to 3 teammates in an 8 foot range. TEAMMATES ONLY, NOT ALL ALLIES.

3% for Tankers, 2.25% for Scrappers/Brutes. This bonus IS enhanceable.

So, heres the breakdown:

Sunstorm is under the Peacebringer group, between Paragon Protectors and Pets. However, his costume is the PPD style costume, not the one you see in Atlas park.


Castle isn't a selectable one as far as I know

Seconded, I have it happen occasionally too, and have friends who've talked about it.

Generally nothing to worry about unless it happens constantly and/or you see suspicious activity on your characters(like being deleted, and the things you listed)

This is especially likely if you crash out of the the game and just decide to quit for the night, your character won't get logged properly from a crash alot of the time.

I don't think either of these would be difficult to impliment, though obviously I could be wrong.


1st: Please add Npc ranks to the Real Numbers AT dropdown box

Reason for wanting: When looking up Npc powers with chat links, it's impossible to tell exactly what a power does for an npc since it just goes by whatever AT modifiers it's set to. Also, when creating a Custom Critter you wouldn't have to go between screens to switch it's rank back and forth to see what effect it would have on a particular power.

I realise there are TONS of actual npc ranks and might clog the list, but the standard 5 of Minion, Lieutenant, Boss, Elite Boss, and Archvillain would be great

2nd(and most desired): PLEASE(x100) add an option to the team search window to sort by people NOT already on a team

Reason for wanting: I can't tell you how many times I've been leading a team, looking for members, and 3/4 or more of the list is clogged with people already on a team. Now, the flag, level range and AT boxes help a bit, but this option would solve it completely!


As stated, I don't know how easy or hard either of these would be to impliment, but they don't SOUND difficult to me and I can't think of any downsides so I'm hoping they could happen Soon™.


Thoughts?



I'd also like to be able to invite SG members while offline for my personal SGs, but I realize that blind SG invites are bad enough without them being able to send them to people not logged on.

Still there for me.

Normally I'd ask to make sure you didn't have anything typed in the search bar but you said they replied it was a known issue, so maybe it just doesn't affect everyone.

After further testing it seems all the banners have inherent regen, and others found the scorn to be the hardest to defeat...meh...I dunno which is which, I'll wait for it to go live and use the power analyzer to check things out.

Love the new event though :-D

Ok, still need further testing but heres so far,
oh the times i wish i had the power analyzer on test


The Banner of Fiends:I think this one is the +resistance, though I'm not positive

The Banner of Terror: Didn't get to test this one, but i can only assume it's the +damage

The Banner of Scorn: I THINK this is defence as i had less than 95% chance to hit at first, but not positive as some of the enemies had -to-hit debuffs

The Banner of Mayhem:This one is definitely the restoration one, it went up in health every so often

Need more testing :-S

So through unspoken means, I've found out that each banner's magic circle has a buff associated with it, according to how many of the event enemies are near it.

There are 4


1.The Might one: +damage
The Mystic Banner gains power by having more creatures near it. It is currently drawing a small amount of additional energy from nearby creatures granting it a small damage bonus.
(In game link:[Glyph of Might])

2.The Restoration one: Healing
The Mystic Banner gains power by having more creatures near it. It is currently drawing a small amount of additional energy from nearby creatures granting it a minor healing ability it can use every 15 seconds.(In game link:[Glyph of Restoration])

3.The Defense one: +defense
The Mystic Banner gains power by having more creatures near it. It is currently drawing a small amount of additional energy from nearby creatures granting it a small defense bonus.
(In game link:[Glyph of Defense])

4. The Resistance one: +resistance
The Mystic Banner gains power by having more creatures near it. It is currently drawing a small amount of additional energy from nearby creatures granting it a small resistance bonus.
(In game link:[Glyph of Resistance])

Note: I haven't yet figured out which one goes with which banner, will test further and post later.


Edit: just to note the glyphs are the magic circles on the ground, not the banners themselves

Indeed, I got kicked and now i can't even get to atlas from any character

It sounds like the game isnt properly un-holding the alt key when you alt-tab out of the program(You're holding alt while the game goes 'out of focus' so as far as the game is concerened you never stopped holding it)

The shortcuts for the second row are ALT+#.

If you have this problem again after going back into the game, try hitting ALT+1 first(the normal shortcut for using the second power tray 1st slot), then using the numbers as normal.

Just a guess based on your description, but I've had similar things happen with other games, so it's worth a try.

The total recharge required to have exact perma-hasten is 275%,which puts the recharge at an exact 120 seconds.(450/3.75=120)
minus the 70% from hasten itself, that leaves 205%


If you go the average route of 3 Level 50 Recharge SOs in hasten(~95% recharge) that leaves 110% from other sources(either buffs or set bonuses). Siphon Speed for example gives 20% for 60 seconds per hit



An example for kins:

6 level 50 recharge IOs(~118% recharge) and triple stacked Siphon Speed(60% recharge) adds up to 248% recharge, leaving you to need 27% global(easy enough)

Heres an example 'bare bones' fire/kin build with perma-hasten in Mids

Admitably there are far less expensive ways to get 27% global than 2 purples sets and a LotG, but it's just an example.
