VelvetMisery

Hey hey!

Global's @Velvet Misery, and I've been bouncing from server to server since one month after launch. That was the old days when there were no capes and whatever costume you started with, you were stuck with until level FORTY

I'm a casual player, so you'll find me out and about from time to time.

I can't complain. I managed to get two names I wanted: Maiden America, and Maiden Praetoria

It's been a long while, but I finished a 3rd LL video last week, but with the forums down, I couldn't post it.

Anyways, here it be:

Any debuffs of ice should be excluded in a straight Def/Res comparison, otherwise, if you include debuffs, then add Dark Miasma to the chart because with all of Dark's debuffs, you just might have a defense winner there.

You made me curious!
I only tossed in Cold's debuffs since FF doesn't have any and Sonic's are -Dam Res, but my namesake's a Dark Def so I checked out Dark's protection with debuffs, specifically +Def and -Tohit, vs FF. All info via Mid's.

Twilight Grasp:
Tohit -9.75%

Darkest Night:
Tohit -29.3%

Shadowfall:
+Def 7.8%
(It has Dam Res also, but I'm leaving it out for the comparison)

Fearsome Stare:
Tohit -29.3%

Totals
+Def 7.8%
Tohit -68.35%

That's an effective Defense of 76.15%, not including the pet.
The one thing that hurts this is all those numbers are based on 3 SO's for +Def or -Tohit. Twilight Grasp and Fearsome Stare might be more effective with different slotting, but regardless, the numbers are still impressive.

Why does everything say "except psionic"? Force fields offer defense to all positional types, and most psionic attacks except some in Mind Control are positional. Same for cold. Sonic is the only one with a huge psionic hole.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because an attack that has multiple tags is compared to the highest one applicable. So an incoming attack that is tagged as a (positional; Psionic) attack would be compared to the higher postional bonus. Some attacks, like you said, in Mind Control (actually all of them), are only tagged as (Psionic), so the positional bonus wouldn't apply.

Force Fields offer the best protection out of the various options. This really shouldn't be a surprise since that's largely all FF does... heavy duty defense and knockback. In many hands it's a one-trick pony. But a REALLY good trick.

Given all of cold's and sonic's buffs and debuffs FF really HAS to offer better protection.

[/ QUOTE ]

This may be true, but look at what else Sonic has to offer against a Psychic opponent. It's true, Sonic does have a huge psychic hole, but we also know that FF only has a +15.6% DEF against Psionic only attacks (which is every attack from Mind Control). Against a Controller-type baddie, those mezzes may have a slightly harder time landing, but once they do, there's not much a FF can do about it (although their bubble provides RES against holds immobs and disorient).
Sonic has that. It also has Clarity which gives additional hold, immob, and disorient res, plus res vs sleep, fear, and confuse, and +perception.

Putting Psionics aside, comparing FF and Sonic is like comparing apples and oranges. They both offer protection, but in different ways. FF's +DEF helps prevent an attack from landing, but if it does, the victim takes the full brunt of it. Sonic does nothing to help prevent a hit from landing, but makes the attack inflict 54.6% less damage (Sonic Barrier/Haven and Sonic Dispersion).

Getting into numbers with Cold just isn't necessary. It grants +DEF which makes hits harder to land. Adds extra HP (Frostwork), which makes it necessary to either inflict more hits or do more damage. Reduces the amount of damage (Benumb) which forces the opponent to inflict more hits. Finally, Cold has so many -Slow effects that all those hits that have to land are happening less often. When they do happen, 31.3% of the time, they miss.

Good Video!

You could also do what I do for music videos:
Demodump the demos at 20 fps, delete the frames you don't want, import the rest into WMM, and save it as a movie. The clip itself will play slow, but just add 1 Speed Up effect to it and it's good as gold.

I think it gives a much clearer picture than free Fraps, allows you to pick the exact frames you want to stop/start on, and it's still free! It won't have any sound, but in a music video like the one you did here, you won't need sound anyway.

Did you need our primary film character doing anything, or just the costume info?

And I just posted a new video! It's short and it's scathing, but I really think it just makes a statement.

The Value of PWNage (low res version)

The Value of PWNage (high res version)

I feel much better now.

I have a feeling you were holding that back just in case something like this would happen. . .

Another good vid btw

I have a serious sneaking suspicion that everyone who makes fan videos has that feeling of "Oh god, there's that error...and that error...and... AUGH!!!" I know I do. Hell, I go back and watch the first episode of my show and physically cringe. Soooo much wrong with it. But we grow, we learn, and we keep creating because it's fun.

[/ QUOTE ]

Indeed!

Aww, don't think you suck. I watch it and I see 'error, error. . . error'

For instance, the boulder Foreshock throws at the drop ship. Watch it. It never makes it.

Always good stuff from Dark_Respite

I got my new one done as well. Me and my alts on Pinnacle.

This one churned up while demo editing. It's pretty much art in itself despite being a screenshot. I have it posted elsewhere, but figured why not submit it

My angel Aedora, I'm guessing a summer month?

Gratz to you Talysin and AOE.

I'm pretty surprised I got 2nd, considering the vast amount of good entries

Here's mine. I left the UI up to show they're screenies and not demo edits. (I know the judges can tell, but at least everyone else can too )
Kinda stretched creativity to it's limits on some
