Quote:Getting it into the 30s actually seems pretty decent, particularly if you can heal on top of it. Is there anything else that can be done to bring it up? As I hit 50, I can frankenslot for recovery, if need be.Originally Posted by Berzerker_NA
You might as well not bother trying to softcap them for /thermal. You'll need all the end you can get to keep them healed.
Enforcers' leadership powers are about a 7.5-8.5% boost each (for a total of 15-17% def if the thugs stand in both auras), depending on what level they are. More if you enhance them (23% would be quite average I think). If you have gang war, then you can slot both Edict of the Master +5% defense and the Expedient Reinforcement +5% defense, bringing the total up to 33%. But you're not going to close the gap from there to 45%. Your own leadership power only adds maybe 3.5% if you enhance it well, but costs a ton of endurance.
For /Traps, the needed 12% to reach softcap is easily gained from FF generator. -

A major culprit is probably the PBAoE heal Warmth, it's a bit of an endurance pig. And if you are running Leadership toggles that'll slow your recovery of the endurance Warmth eats up. If you slot more endurance reduction into Warmth and have an endurance reduction in your leadership toggles, I expect you'll see a significant improvement.
-
Yeah, I'll definitely have to drop some defense into my Leadership and into the Enforcers. Can you softcap the thugs with non-set IO's in Leadership and Enforcers?
-
So, I rolled myself a new MM, and I decided to try thugs/thermal. I've used thugs/traps to endgame before and it was great, but I wanted to try /thermal to see if they would be even better with a heal.
For one, I don't remember them dropping so fast- is my memory bad or is the FF generator really that significant?
For another, it seems like I'm always out of endurance, I think mostly from healing. Is that a problem with thermal that goes away as you get your IO's and slot Stamina (or Bruiser), or am I doing something wrong? -
It's definitely a good thought either way. Which means it'll never be considered.
-
But hey, at least the Pay2Win store is working, right?
You guys do know there's a very hyped, very well funded MMO on the horizon? Now is a very bad time to be making these sorts of epic mistakes. -
the -tohit alone would be enough to get by. I like that suggestion.
We have plenty of abilities that apply -tohit already, but until you get a few applications on, the spare enemies in a crowd kill off your zombies. Applying a -tohit via AOE would equalize that problem nicely.
The fear would be a nice plus, but since tankermind pets smack everything anyway, it would be unreliable at best.
I don't think we need a -damage in there, on top of the other two. Might be too much. -

Exactly why I wish they just didn't have melee attacks to try to use. For all I care they don't even have to replace them, they could just stand there waiting for attacks to cycle and I'd be happy.
-
Yeah, I've got the soul tentacles, but they only ever seem to hit one or two enemies, even in a big crowd.

A big problem I have with my MM is mobs run away, pets chase them, they die. Or they die and bring another room full of mobs back to me.
Then I notice the Spectral Interface has an immobilzation proc. Lowest is 2%, highest is 10%. I know my pets can set off that proc.
So I find myself wondering, as a Necro/Dark, is it worth getting the Spectral for the immob and DoT or stick with the Diamagnetic I have, for that -tohit stacking I have going on?
The -tohit is nice, boss and EB fights, after a few applications, they can't even hit my zombies, but more damage is never bad, and the immob is really appealing.
But is that 10% chance or less enough, in combination with my pets, for me to rely on it? -
I've got my necromancer, Ordin Dreadmoore, currently a rogue. Getting tired of the same old endgame, so I figured I'd try to RP more. It's hard to find, though.
Similarly, it seems like most VG's that want to recruit are either not very active or not very RP-centric.
Anyone know any RPVGs that might be open to picking up another member, even if they're not actively recruiting? -
If there's a better place to go than that stupid nightclub that actually has other RP'ers, I'd so be there.
-
I got a necromancer that would do that sort of raising of formerly dead people, if you're still looking.

Quote:That's true, that should be a high priority. The problem is, if the pets get stuck when you need them, they're doing nothing- you have to die or /releasepets, a huge problem if you just summoned them. At least the melee bug, they're still doing something.Originally Posted by Peppercat
To be honest the stuck pets bug doesn't even annoy me that much. Now the ranged pets running into melee which has been the case since CoV beta....
My complaint was resource mismanagement. Creating content to sell instead of fixing the content they have. Although it's a sad state of affairs when the game goes free to play, and suddenly anyone that's had an account since before is "boasting".Quote:Originally Posted by Talen Lee
You notice how people who whine about the store also boast about how much they pay? -

Wah wah wah. /release pets, spend 10 seconds rebuffing. Yes, it's an annoying bug! But no, spouting crap off like "ZOMG ALL THEY ADDED WAS PAY 2 WIN I AM SO WITTY AND UNIQUE SNOWFLAKE!" just makes you look like a jerk.
Please apply for a job at Paragon and fix the coding for them.
If it makes you feel better, I'd even go through the code and find the problem for them (since you seem to think they're incapable), just to have my VIP accounts for free, they wouldn't even have to pay me. -
I took a break for a few months. Today I came back. Logged in my MM. Summoned my pets. Zoned... And they were stuck.
How old is this bug now?
How is this possibly still broken? Have they done ANYTHING to fix this game besides add Pay2Win?
Damn. -
My necro/dark MM took down Scrapyard solo, and I don't think I even needed any temp powers. I do believe he was fully Alpha'd out (though he had none of the other Incarnate powers at the time), so he had a level shift, anyway.
-
It's made by EVGA. I've previously had good luck with hardware made by them.
Searching the Internet for that error code 8 tells me something's wrong with OpenGL. From what I've read, certain nVidia drivers are deprecating some older OpenGL functions. If City is still calling them, that might be causing the error? -
I just noticed issues in another game too. I'm starting to wonder if the thing is overheating.
-
I turned off particle physics, and that seems to make a difference, oddly.
-
Update: I'm now crashing every time and getting an error code 8. Driver lost connection with display, openGL error. This is CoH only, no other games.
-
Yes, everything else seems good. I did turn down occlusion which seemed to help, until I got a full client lock-up in Lambda.

Brand new system, I built it not six months ago.
Drivers are up to date, that was the first thing I checked.
I've been seeing an issue lately where the screen seems to flicker when scrolling at a quartermaster.
Today, I saw shadows looked like they were burned into the screen. a relog fixed it. However, after the relog, a little while into the game, I lost all graphics. I could just about make out the outline of text. Black, on a white screen.
Another relog, then the screen simply went white, full client lock up.
Any ideas where I should start troubleshooting? -
I think I have 4 stored respecs anyway, but yes, I'll probably wait for I21 for significant changes.
-
I wound up slotting a lot more -tohit than I had previously. Made a big difference. I dropped two on my lich (replacing a fear set), and he can hold his own against the weaker AVs now.
I'll have to keep my eye out for more sets now, though.
