Willpower / Psionic Weaponry

Yes please.

It looks like they did some stuff villain side as well

Me and live don't mix too well, heh. Sounds like some interestin things may be in the works none the less.

The set bonus will stack (up to 5 times).

Nifty write up there.

I'm hoping to go with 4 slots; a variation of Set IO 3.1 with Miracle tacked on for the recovery boost.

Ah, that's good to know. Glad there's a Tier 2 only in there. Thanks.

I see a bunch of lower level IO sets and bonuses my 50 would like to get his hands on.

Ya, my Dom with Hurdle / Combat Jumping could do this just fine. Even if I did get hit, it was never significant.

Along this line... What can you tell us about the various +Stealth IOs from the Travel Sets?

Specifically, can they be slotted in passive powers? If so, how is this going to interact with NPC hostages and such that won't interact with a stealthed character?

Currently:
<ul type="square">[*]They can be slotted into passive movement powers.[*]You can have one of each type on your character for some massive bonuses.[*]Escort NPCs will not follow you if these are slotted on your characters.[/list]
Now, before the uproar starts, I have to say that unless we find a satisfactory solution for the last item on the list, these IO's have a high probability of being cut before reaching the live servers. Even if that problem is solved, it is still unlikely that you will be able to slot all 4 versions in a single character -- either that, or the stealth aspect will be reduced greatly.

The simplest suggestion I can think of, that would require very little real work, would be to hand out to everyone a new inherent power, called "LookAtMe" (well, something cool), that was a zero endurance burning toggle that suppressed self-stealth. Basically, the presumption is that you should always be able to suppress your own stealth, by just jumping up and down and waving your arms, if necessary. Players that had passive stealth could toggle this during escort missions that required visibility, and temporarily suppress their own stealth.

Seems to cost nothing but a free give-away toggle power, and it doesn't alter mobs, affect other teammates, alter the mechanics of stealth, or modify the mechanics of the invention IOs.

Sounds perfect. :thumbsup:

They definitely shouldn't stack IMO. I would really hate to see them removed tho. Wonders how easy it would be to give escortables +Perception to see through one level of stealth; or give em a -Stealth aura.

The online delay didn't have anything to do with WalMart... maybe. In any case, they probably couldn't have done that if they wanted to.

Update.

30 min recharge.

Uhhh... [censored]?

Delayed a week...

[edit] Ah, Wal-Mart not affected, I guess I can still pick it up Friday after work.

Ya, only have an Ice Dominator, but both Skiffs and Freedom Corps Flying things dropped with Frostbite. I double checked it on Test just a few mins before I posted.

You sure about that? The Dominator version has -Fly. All Dom/Controller ST and AoE Immobs should have -Fly (with Fire just now being updated on Test).

All the -Rech testing I've done indicates that the Prima numbers are off by off by 25%. i.e. Snow Storm is -40% not -50%.

[/ QUOTE ]

I believe this is because my tests don't factor in the activation time of the powers. Prima would seem to be correct on this.

New BIs:

Sleet: 1.67
Ice Storm: 7.78
Blizzard: 33.3

Each will only reach ~95% of the total.

Who is going to pick a +3 SO over a SHO?

[/ QUOTE ]

If it's your standard Recharge/Acc/Dam/EndRedux, then anyone that does is very, very . . . what's the word I'm looking for . . . . right. DUMB.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ya, I was thinking it would be the same ol story arc / respec / Sirens Call popup.

[ QUOTE ]
Sucks to be you, be more careful next time?

[/ QUOTE ]

Ya, I'd prolly say the same to the people who couldn't figure out how to delete or slot a few SOs during the final mission.

[ QUOTE ]
Probably no one, but it does mean no more SHO's disappearing into the void...

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, if they only gave you one option, the issue wouldn't even have the chance of coming up at all.

Choice table for Lord Recluse's Strike Force. - Upon completion of the mission, you will get a choice table, instead of the Enhancements simply being put into your tray (and if your tray is full, put into oblivion). You will NOT be able to pick the specific Synthetic Hami-O, but you will be able to choose a +3 level SO instead of the random SHOE if you want.

[/ QUOTE ]

"Oops, I picked a SO when I meant to pick a SHO"

"So, I picked a SO. Where do I get my SHO?"

Who is going to pick a +3 SO over a SHO?

Thanks for the change tho.

Dang, Cuppa... you will be missed.

Welcome back? Or perhaps I've just missed some of your posts

I don't think Sleet can Scourge.

Rains do 75 ticks, not 65. Also, it's a combo Cold / Lethal dmg; there is no Smashing component.

All the -Rech testing I've done indicates that the Prima numbers are off by off by 25%. i.e. Snow Storm is -40% not -50%.

Don't forget the -end (~30) on HL.

Thanks for the updated guide.

Chilling Embrace (4/5): I power I learned to love on my Ice Tank. Chilling Embrace is a toggle that slows and debuffs (-dam) all enemies with a decent radius. Its good out of the box, but turns awesome when you boost it (mobs running toward you/away VERY slowly :-). Its also much easier on end than hot feet (by a magnitude of 10 if hero planner is to be believed). Slot with an end redux and then some slows if you've the slots.

[/ QUOTE ]

As mentioned we don't get the -Dmg but we do have a higher -Recharge than Tanks and Blasters.

Also, to clarify the END costs. Hot Feet costs 2.08 every 2 seconds while CE is .13 every .5. In EPS terms, it comes out as follows:

Hot Feet: 1.04
Chilling Embrace: .26

Still a significant difference, but it's not that bad.

Ya, that's what I had always heard. The Prima guide seems to agree.
