    Ran another one today, and didn't run into any of the same issues, so they must have all just be random.

    Would that happen to be it?
    That is indeed it. I guess I've just never noticed them before.

    We did indeed break LoS and it still wouldn't move. I should note that it behaved normally after it respawned.

    The tank was attacking recluse (though not very effectively due to his high defense numbers at that point, and we did let him establish aggro before heading to the tower.

    We did clear these, it was other spawns that came after us.

    I'm playing a SS/SD brute right now, and it is by far the funnest character I've played in a long time. His damage is flat-out unbelievable, and he's not as squishy as I thought he would be. The only downside is that he's a bit of an end hog, but as long as we're not fighting enemies that do end drain, it's not a big deal.

    However, for someone who's going to be mainly soloing, I'd probably recommend a scrapper. Brutes tend to work best (IMO of course) on large teams where there are lots of buffs going around, and big juicy 8-man spawns worth of aggro to keep your fury bar and AaO topped up. The few times I've played my brute solo he wasn't nearly as fun.

    Were there any changes made to the STF recently? I ran one this morning for my notice of the well, and although the team was on finished it successfully, we ran into some unusual things that none of us had ever seen before that made it more difficult. I'm not sure if these changes were intentional, or if they were simply bugs, or just unusual happenings that you won't usually see. Here's a list of the ones I remember.

    The first time the flyer spawned, it was hovering directly above Recluse's head on the tower platform. We tried several times and could not get it to move from there.

    The flier seemed to be summoning some sort of bomb that I don't remember ever seeing before. They looked like the crab spider's omega maneuver bomb.

    The tank was having serious trouble keeping recluse's aggro. I know he was using taunt, because I saw the animation go off around recluse, but there were a few times that recluse simply ignored it and ran over to attack us at the tower.

    When we got the 4th tower down and started attacking recluse, about 3 spawns worth of random arachnos came running over to attack us. I'm not sure where they came from since we had cleared out all the spawns close to the platform. They weren't the bane spiders that recluse summons either, it was just normal mixed arachnos enemies.

    That's all I can remember.

    Like I said, they may have just been coincidences, but I've run the STF a couple dozen times and I've never seen any of those things happen before, so I was just wondering if there had been some small changes made to it.

    You've got a couple things wrong here.

    The performance shifter proc gives a 20% chance for +10% endurance every 10 seconds. If you have 100 endurance (i.e. no + max endurance buffs) then that works out to 0.2 end/second on average.

    Slotting a single level 50 endurance mod IO into stamina takes your recovery rate from 2.09 end/second to 2.26 end/second, so it's worth 0.17 end/second, or slightly less than the performance shifter. The second level 50 endurance mod IO in stamina is worth about the same amount. A third one however is worth only about 0.06 end/second due to ED.

    So a performance shifter IO is better than a level 50 IO in any case, and it's much better than the third level 50 IO you would put in.

    For napalm firestorm (my fire/sr scrapper) it's his cigar.

    It's fairly annoying. It was amusing the first time I saw it, but it's like a song that gets overplayed on the radio, it gets old real quick. I've gotten to the point where I alt+tab to the internet to play around while it plays out.

    There's a couple ways this could be fixed.

    1. Expand the auto-logoff if AFk so it happens even if you're in a mission or on a TF.
    2. Add a feature so that if every member of a team (or maybe 75% of them or something) agrees on it, they can demote the leader.
    3. Allow the leader to pass the star on TFs.

    None of these are perfect solutions. 1 would work, but the timer is like 20 minutes, and I can see a lot of people just leaving rather than waiting that long. 2 would be a great solution, but it would be a lot harder to implement than the others. 3. Would help in certain circumstances, but not in ones like you ran into.

    The IO has been sold. Thanks.

    In terms of utility/power, it's tied pretty closely between willpower and shield defense. Willpower is the greatest 'out of the box' armor set there is, and shield defense takes everything that is great about SR and amps it up to 11.

    In terms of looking cool, Dual pistols wins that one, even though I'm not fond of it as a set.

    Robotics picks up an honorable mention in both categories. It's a powerful set, and it looks great too.

    No, that's not quite perma-hasten. To get it permanent, you need to get the recharge down to 120 seconds - the Arcanatime of the power (which I don't remember off the top of my head. It will be slightly higher than the cast time). So you'll need to get it down to maybe 117 seconds or so.

    Cool, thanks for the help. I played around with what you suggested and came up with a couple more improvements. The recharge is a bit lower, but if I did the math right it should still have perma-hasten with the ultra-rare alpha slot. I was able to get slightly more endurance recovery, and get extra endredux into Knockout blow and Footstomp. I was also able to get aid self, which should up survivability a decent amount.

    I'm working on an alpha-slot build for a ss/shield brute. I'm going for the softcap as well as perma-hasten. If my calculations are right, I should just be able to hit perma-hasten with the ultra-rare spiritual alpha. I wasn't quite able to get softcap to all positions, but I don't think the 4% I'm off on AoE defense will cause much trouble for me.

    Anyone got any suggestions on how to improve the build?

    Not getting any interest at 3 billion, so price has dropped to 2.5. Send a tell in-game to @firespray42 or send a PM here on the boards if interested.

    I have another of these for sale, and rather than start a new thread I thought I'd just reply to this one.

    Same terms as the original.

    My marketeering is done on a single character. The rest generally just get gleemailed inf to make builds.

    You can definitely make money crafting and selling purples (it's where pretty much all my cash comes from). However, with only 600 million in the bank, it will be slow going at first, and you'll have to be really careful, because when things go bad while flipping purples, you can lose a LOT of money pretty quickly. If you can manage to get ahold of a couple billion, it'll go smoother, since you'll be able to easily bid for 4 or 5 purples at a time and still have enough for listing fees, and you'll have more of a backup if you get burnt. Long story short, it's worth it, but be careful.

    I realize that, but if the amount of inf entering the game is reduced, it will at least slow down inflation. If it's reduced enough, it will reverse deflation.

    Reducing the amount of inf being generated isn't going to do squat if there isn't sufficient inf sinks to remove it first.
    I disagree. It will help, it will just take time to do so.

    How about a 5 minute cooldown, if any cooldown at all.
    Do you really need to redesign your costume more than once an hour?

    Do they absolutely have to be level 10? I have a crafted 50 GA3% that I'll sell for that price.

Even if all I do is sell the common recipes that drop, that'll be millions a play session (with level 50 recipes selling *at the vendor* for over 100k in many instances.)
    Yes, they'll still generate INF, but they would be generating less than they were before.

    And the part about making sure the game is dropping just enough to pay for SO replacement every 5 levels is because the devs have stated time and time again that SOs are still the standard by which difficulty in the game is measured. So the game needs to drop enough inf/drops that a character can afford to slot their toon with SOs. Otherwise I'd say simply stop having the game drop inf at all after level 30 or so.

    It's not intended to do anything about the people sitting on billions of INF, nor is it intended to change the fact that you can get the recipes you want and make a profit on it. It is intended to reduce the amount of influence entering the game while leaving the amount of influence sinks constant, which over time will reduce inflation. It's simple supply and demand. If there is the same amount of goods available, but less money overall to pay for them with, prices will go down.

    Good idea actually. Mildly useful without giving any meaningful advantage.
