Storm/Ice with Freezing Rain / Ice Storm >> SS/FA
My Fire/Cold corr is tearing up mobs faster than statesman on FS.
EDIT: For some reason Sleet is doing higher DoT than Rain of Fire. I thought it was the -resist that's raising the DoT. But even if I use RoF right after sleet, it still does less DoT than Sleet. A little intriguing.
P.S: Yes. -resist does seem to raise the DoT. With Heatloss I'm getting about 25 ticks of damage with SLeet rather than 17. And 20 with RoF rather than 13.
I wonder how the Musculature Alpha affects that. I don't have a toon with both a rain power and musculature to test ATM. -
Quote:Agreed on that one too. The lag seemed at least twice as bad for me.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
Of course, lag seemed worse in general (Pinnacle) in BAF, so... *shrug* -
Yes. Two Lambdas to unlock my interface and a BAF to test out that bug.

Now that we can finally "use" the Jet Pack on the iTrials. The temp powers in their entirety are borked. Every now and then, they will randomly ALL get greyed out. And then after about a minute or so they'll re-enable themselves again (well, the ones that we're supposed to be able to use anyways).

Wouldn't that happen, by any chance, when you use AoE on quite large groups of enemies?

Don't bet on it.
I bet after the 20th time, they'd still be saying "what the heck?"
I thought of something yesterday actually. Either make it so that one's temporary powers are seeable in the "Info" screen so we can check who has them and who doesn't. Or the easier (for us players, harder for the devs, lol) solution would be to have some sort of buff-like icon appear in the player's buff bar in the team/league window to show who got what temp powers. Being called out may not make them use it, but at least it will allow to "one-star-then-kick-and-place-on-gignore". -

I have to agree. The damage proc in Rain powers as it stands is overpowered. My Fire/Cold corruptor with two rain powers (Sleet, Rain of Fire) that come up every 15 seconds will be able to fully decimate spawns as they come on her own (and now that I think about it, I can also move in melee range in the spawn and let World of Confusion do even more damage ticks as well). Without having to use any other power in her arsenal except maybe the occasional Blaze to finish off a boss faster. My Blaster with Rain of Fire, Blazing Aura, and Hotfeet will be an absolute wrecking machine even more than he is now...and he's able to decimate +4 mobs in 2 attacks as is (bosses take a couple more I guess). My Crab with 6 pets will have more AoE damage than any other toon I have...that's not counting when I get the Lore Pets. Same goes for Master Minds' pets as well.
The Ice Blast Nuke (Blizzard) will be total lulz with that proc as well.
In all honesty I thought that the fact that the damage proc didn't work with pets and pseudo pets was WAI, because it's overpowered otherwise. I was surprised to see that in the patch notes.
EDIT: Well, thinking a little bit more about it. At least one plus side to that is that it will make Ice Storm actually worth taking again >.> -
In all honesty I think the perfect way to remedy the bit about Lambda trials and the temp acid powers is to make it literally explode and kill the user after 30 seconds of the first gate being taken down. That is the only way "those" people will actually start using them.

Frankly, I'd like them to add a few more shouty text boxes.
USE YOUR MOLECULAR ACIDS ON THE PORTALS TO CLOSE THEM.
USE. YOUR. ACIDS.
YES, YOU TOO. YOU OVER THERE AT THE BACK, STARING AT THE WALL AND /E NOSEPICKING. USE YOUR MOLECULAR ACID!
OF COURSE YOU DO. CHECK YOUR TEMP POWERS.
I SAID TEMP POWERS. OVER THERE ON THE...GOT IT? AWESOME. NOW THROW IT!
OH FOR GOD'S SAKE NO, STOP CLICKING ON THE PORTAL THAT'S ALREADY DEACTIVATED. I DON'T KNOW, CALL YOURSELVES INCARNATES, I MIGHT AS WELL HAVE HIRED A BUNCH OF HELLIONS. SCREW THIS, I'M GOING HOME. -
I think this happens because the Fulcrum Shift/Siphon Power powers summon pseudo pets that do the buff/debuff. And those buff/debuff are auto powers of said pseudo pets that they are hidden when you enable that option. At least, that's how I personally interpret it.

Quote:I'm starting to think within the same way. I'm not sure now if the 8 seconds downtime on HeatLoss are worth dedicating my entire Alpha just for that. My blue bar will be fine without heatloss for that time (much longer actually but that's beside the point).Originally Posted by Crazy_Larry
My Benumb is about 4 seconds off perma and Heat Loss is 15 seconds off perma. I don't really see that as justification to go Spiritual, personally. I can't run dry of endurance in 15 seconds (reasonably) and I don't think -too- much damage can be done in terms of regen in 4 seconds of Benumb downtime. If I/my team is in a war with regen, I'll use Force of Nature and that'll help too. I just think it's a pretty big sacrifice to dedicate basically your entire Alpha Slot to close up those tiny down times.
Here's my build. You can look/critique all you want.
http://www.cohplanner.com/mids/downl...8EF51F3649DFB4
Typically running Muscles, Clarion, Diamagnetic. The latter 2 plus my high defense make me incredibly difficult to kill, which makes me rather happy.
I don't necessarily like putting Apoc set in Fireblast rather than Blaze, but that's personal taste. That said, have you considered swapping out the Dam/Rech for the pure Damage one? You only lose 0.1 seconds off your recharge but gain 5 more points of damage to your base damage (ie, not counting the procs).
No Kismet unique is a big note for me. But then again if you're hitting consistently that doesn't really matter.
Have you considered swapping the sets between Arctic Fog and Ice Shield? That'll allow you to swap out the Cytos for just regular Def/End (LotG/Red Fortune) and give you slightly higher Def and End management on Arctic Fog.
All that said. Very nice build. Very sturdy, pretty good DPS, and very survivable overall.
Here's my build, to be fair. It's no where near as sturdy as yours though , lol (But was still enough to solo a lot of AVs (Not Malaise or Mother Mayhem though -.- and Paladin, Babbage, and Jurrasic GMs). But, having a resist based epic helps a lot in absence of high defences. I don't have the PvP procs or the Glad Armor unique in the build, though I"m very much considering adding it to the build not because I want more out of it. To quote you "Here's my build. You can look/critique all you want."
P.S: I know Frostwork is a mistake. That's going off for Assault when I make up my mind on how to respec her.

Hmm..though choice.
I love Confuse/Deceive. The animation always creeps me out and the power itself is just lots of fun, especially with the contagious confusion proc.
Ice Slick..it's just fun.
Knock Out Blow, the old animation. Just looks cool.
X-Ray beam. LASER EYE BEAMS DUDE
Fire Sword Circle: Too much damage, and the sound effect is just perfect since most of the minions drop dead after it anyways.
Photon Torpedo: For reasons mentioned before.
Energy Melee: All of it really. Something about the glowing pom poms of doom.
Nova: The only end-crashing nuke I love.
Hail of Bullets: Just looks so damn cool. -
Quote:The animation time isn't that bad, but the debuff is definitely worth it. Just keep in mind that Sleet/Freezing Rain are bugged and the debuff will only last 15 seconds if the target doesn't get out of the rain range within 15 seconds. And since the Pylon is stationary it will never be doing that, lol. So Sleet Debuff will need to be cast every 15 seconds to keep the debuff up.Originally Posted by MajorTractor
Should I be spamming sleet? I'd think the debuff is worth the long animation time....

EDIT: And keep in mind that build has spared no expense, and it is rather expensive. But my feeling is that while Flares and the patron pet is optimal for DPS, perhaps they put you in a tough spot as far as slotting? I know having ~100% rech while maintaining soft cap can be pretty hard to achieve, and if you have less rech than that, you might need to stick with Spiritual. Not sure, but I can post my build if you want.
Your build has perma Heatloss and Benumb? If so, I would really like to take a look if possible. Because mine even with 106.3% Global Recharge, or 176.3% with Hasten (which is perma), I was not able to achieve perma Heatloss/Benumb without using the T4 Spiritual Alpha. Benumb was 3.3 Second off perma and Heatloss is like 8 seconds off without the Spiritual.
Benumb has 83.3% Recharge in it, and Heatloss has 91.7% Recharge. Adding another pure recharge IO to Benumb only cuts less than half a second of the recharge, and Heatloss loses on like 2.3 seconds off.P
P.S: My build has 33% Ranged defence and 20% to everything else, BTW. -
It was originally Feb 1st. Then they gave a 2 week grace period for the people who missed the initial announcement, so it started at Feb 14th instead of 1st.

Quote:Yeah, you will. The required period for the Vanguard pack was Feb 14th till April 18th.Originally Posted by Marsha_Mallow
OK, so my account has been active during that time frame (Feb 1 thru April 18) also. But due to RL issues, I have to let my account laps for just 2 days on April 28, and won't be able to renew until April 30. Do you think I'll still get it?
-
Yes...I know that. Plus Demonic Aura becomes grayed out and can't be clicked eitherways
UPdate on the matter: Eye of the Magus is no longer working on my Emp/Dark 'fender, my Fire/SD scrap, my EM/Nin stalker, my SS/SD brute, or my Crab....it does work on my Fire/Fire blaster though.....
This is extremely frustrating. Eye of the magus is the biggest damn pain in the butt to get accolade. -
Quote:This has always been a wish of mine. I've frequently solo'd or duo'd TFs even before all this Incarnate stuff came out, and it has ALWAYS been a hassle (sp?) finding fillers.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
My idea was this:
Allow the TFs to be soloable, but the AVs will not downgrade, and the old minimum team size becomes the new minimum spawn size.
Want to solo a Posi 1? Fine, you still fight three peoples' worth of enemies.
Want to solo a Lady Grey? You better be able to handle x8 Rikti and all the AVs. -
This might be a little too obvious but have you tried Verifying all files or running the consistency check from the NCSoft Launcher? Or maybe the new -verify command line for the new launcher?

Bringing this thread back to life since this issue is getting majorly annoying.
EDIT: I should also note that this issue only happens if I chose "None" when presented with the Helper dialog. I tried selecting the new UI and then reverting to the "old" one from the options, didn't help. -
After my Stalker changed alignments from Rogue to Hero, his Demonic Aura-now-change-to-Eye-of-the-Magus is not working. It clicks and recharges normally. But gives me no defence or resistance buffs at all. I already /bugged it in game. Thought I'd bring it up here too.

I used to use a Master card-type prepaid credit card for the time between 2008-2010. I didn't get it from a store though. I issued it through a bank. I could pretty much do everything on the NCSoft store with it. Pay my monthly subscription, buy booster packs, or anything from the online store (character slots, rename tokens, transfer tokens). I'm not sure how you can get that on the other side of the world though, heh.
Funnily enough, now that I got myself a regular VISA card. My issuer have blocked NCSoft websites from ALL transactions on their cards because of numerous claims of fraud.
Also, if you can't get yourself one of those cards, using a PayPal account is still as plausible and works in the same way technically. Open up a bank account, and associate it with a new PayPal account. And only deposit whatever amount of money you want in your account to use, just like you would in a prepaid credit card. That would be my advice for a "quick fix" for your situation. -
Quote:The Code is not working for me for some reason. But your post pretty much summarizes how I feel about my slotting. I didn't catch the overcap 2.5% recovery thanks for that. And thanks for the math about Sonic Siphon. Will do the changes you suggested. Thanks againOriginally Posted by Deacon_NA
I'm able to review it in Mids now, so here's a few thoughts:
Your global Accuracy + Kismet IO make it so that your final to-hit is capped at 95% against +3 for Sonic Siphon with only one Accuracy IO. You can take an Accuracy out to something else you'd rather slot.
In Tough, you would still be hard capped to s/l by swapping a basic Endurance Reduction IO instead of the End/Res you have in there. Alternatively, a Steadfast Protection End/Res would buff your HP a bit.
You've exceeded the limit of 2.5% recovery bonuses. I'd take out one of the dual aspect Performance Shifter IOs. Either move the slot elsewhere or use a basic End Mod IO.
Though it's tempting to swap out the Lockdowns in Liquefy for Cloud Senses, to get the recharge bonus, doing so presents a conundrum of sorts. A Sonic/Sonic doesn't need much for global recharge, since the only power that really benefits is Liquefy. If I substitude Cloud Senses to improve global recharge, the enhancement recharge for Liquefy goes down. The end result is a 10 second loss in recharge by switching to the higher recharge bonuses. I have Cloud Senses slotted in my Son/Son, but I see a strong point for Lockdown too.
Here's what it looks like with these changes, plus the one I had above about the Posi proc.
