  2. It is too good to be true. This is a PVP change ONLY.

    "Targets. Each attack from the Assault secondary power sets adds a bonus of 8 points toward filling the Domination bar over the normal value. "

    Was this meant for PVP or PVE?
    There are reports that this is not functioning in PVE.

    PvP only. Sorry for the confusion.

  3. Wait, I wasn't expecting this...

    For instance, your defense powers will work equally well against a Boss or any critter up to 5 levels higher than you, as it does for an equal level minion.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I'm sure we were told that under the new def rules that a +5 boss would be treated as an even conning boss, accuracy-wise, not an even conning minion. If this is true, /SR is about to become the god of all scrappers.

    Well, if people like you will insist on getting involved...

    Or the test server?

    Either way, he didn't beat Defiant!
  6. It looks to me that that screenshot was taken on Union.
  7. Just like to thank d3lf again for helping me to get the badge - very good of you, cheers.

    And Black Dragon - you can /gfriend someone if they're not online.

    Stealth Stalker

    [ QUOTE ]
    I detoggle SS though before I AS. Reason being having SS running slightly lowers your to hit chance.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    This was changed a long time ago (the power is suppressed for 4 seconds instead). Also, Superspeed's stealth aspect doesn't work in PvP.

    i have too an odd bug. sometimes when i AS the animation of the power start and in my toolbar i see it has been used, but the power itself do nothing. i mean no damage or miss message, and i am still hidden.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well-known bug, no fix in sight at the moment.
  10. Well, as you say, not only can MMs get a stealth power from the concealment pool, but /Dark MMs like yourself have one in their secondary, so I'm not sure why you'd want access to a 3rd.
  11. Feh, you want a real challenge, get to 40 without taking any of the pets .

    Whirlpool thing

    Sounds like Prestige Power Slide to me. Can you give us any more details about it?
  13. Disclaimer: I don't have Power Boost on my Dom, but I can't imagine the Dom version is different from the other versions, so...

    [ QUOTE ]
    Does anyone know if Power Boost increases the mez or damage buff from Domination?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Mez, yes, damage, no. It should double the length of time a mez effect lasts, but tests I ran last year on whether Power Boost and Vanguard stacked suggested there might be an upper mez limit, so you might not get a 100% boost while Domination is up.

    [ QUOTE ]
    Does Power Boost affect Hasten?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No.
  14. [ QUOTE ]
    Doesn't Psi Assault have some kind of end recovery too?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah, Drain Psyche is +regen and +recov, but it's our only self buff. No Power Boost here.
  15. Unimpressed. They're all the same powers, so the only difference between patrons is purely cosmetic. I wont say no to the hold, but other than that...given the number of MMs that skip the fitness pool, I was expecting Conserve Power or Consume.
  16. Maybe he/she's been confused already?
  17. [ QUOTE ]
    i couldnt answer that without testing but you saved me the bother, ive had weird moments where i can see the stalker but still havent been able to, have you had this problem?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Assuming that should be 'target them', yeah, I have it occasionally on all my toons - I assumed it was because their stealth had been supressed and was reactivating, so I could for a second see them and not target them (and after that, not see them either). If that's not what you mean, then it's either Placate or I don't know.
  18. IIRC, the def debuff is a mistake - it doesn't actually have any -def effect at all. It was removed before the powerset went live.

    (I haven't answered this previously as I don't have the slots to spare to test - my oil slick is only slotted with 3 recharge atm)

    Not knowing the MA/SR powersets, I'm not sure if +perception is covered!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Focused Senses, the ranged defence toggle, gives +perception, but if you're thinking of PvP, I'd recommend trying to work Tactics in there anyway. FS will see through Hide, but not Hide+Stealth, an increasingly common stalker combo.
  20. Yes, you should get Stamina, and I also recommend slotting End Reds in your toggles and attacks.
  21. Caltrops are auto-hit. If you are hit, Hide is dropped. The only way to avoid this is to not go near the caltrops.

    For non-auto-hit AoEs, slot up your Hide with def SOs. It's not a surefire way to avoid them, but it's your best chance.

    A final alternative is to take Fly and AS people while hovering above them.
