ok, after playing for awhile Ive found a fun build. One thing Im finding annoying is the Location AOE powers... 3 of them. makes it hard to keep up the button smashing..

How is earth/elec for a powerset? PvP or PvE? I like it so far, quicksand is fun. Anyone have a decent build for it?

Can you upgrade the respec by allowing us to keep all of our enhancements so we can slot or sell them in the future? Currently we can only store 10 enhances, that doesn't help when we have 5 red fortune sets that we want to change out for 5 luck of the gambler sets.

any updates on this combo since i6?

Well we all know that this is CITY OF BLASTERS, and if they would fix it, blasters would be in harms way, so... maybe they will fix it in issue 17, since in issue 16 they are giving blasters 1000% resistance to all with a 1000% debuff protection to all.

WOW!! I wish I thought about that, taunt, placate, laugh, kill.

well with the current version of mids (i13) it shows i can get my

Defense without overload

smashing/lethal to 43.1%
energy 53.3%
neg 50.4%
psionic 37.2%
fire/cold 37.9%

melee 30.5%
ranged 29.6%
AOE to 14.9%

Resistance

S/L 39.6%
energy 42.6%
Negative 39.6%
Fire/Cold 32.9%
tox 42.6%
psi 27.8%

but energy aura has defense and res......not sure what it can get to. MIDS isn't updated so no clue what actual slotted PVP or PVE will be like

Thanks beef_cake for your input, so how is res now? (ie Energy aura)

Thanks Wicked.

I'm wondering about PvP defense. I dumped some money and two respecs to buy red fortunes because of the range defense and touch of death for melee defense that 6 slots gives. In PvE it's great, but in PvP it doesn't seem to help at all. Now I see the new PvP IOs also give melee defense. Will those also be a waste of money??

Im wondering the difference between bronze, silver, and gold recipes from ticket vendor in the AE?

Who knows, it probally wont help. But look at blasters, they have been crying about defiance since it came out. Now its one of the best inherant powers...allowing them to attack when held, slept, stunned, etc........

WOW! I know it is bugged and not fixed, but I just logged in to my Spines/Regen Stalker. WOW!! talk about impossible. All my attacks give toxic dot, and then if I try to placate they laugh and hit me immediately in PVE and PVP since I have 0 defense.

My solution is to /petition /bug it daily until it gets fixed. I encourage everyone to do the same until they fix it, this has been a problem for way too long for them to keep ignoring it.

yea i dont notice problems in PvE, since only AVs and EBs can 1 to 2 shot me. but in PvP where almost everything can, i notice it all the time. Spent some time in the arena yesterday with friends and compared different senerios.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why don't the Devs just make a new addition to all stalker powers, when you click any attack you turn bright pink and start flashing, then after 2 seconds take 18000 damage. Since they apparently wont do anything to fix Placate. Why doesn't it work in PVP like it does in PVE?? it works fine there, both when we placate enemies and when we are placated by them. Why do they refuse to fix something that is obviously broken? Lets recap what we know... Stalkers have less health, defense, and damage as Scrappers. Our best defense is to stay hidden, and strike when the time is right. By stacking Stealth, Stealth IO, and Hide we have a Stealth range of 1143(around this) Now the perception cap is 5 less than max stealth, so 1138. However the catch is anytime we move into the range of some enemy's aura power, (ie hot feet, rise to the challenge, chilling embrace) it negates your Stealth and Stealth IO, now our stealth range is reduced to 500 (from hide) and yet everyones perception is still at 1138. So now if we have attacked already and left a mark on the enemy (ie.. -def etc) our placate is worthless. What part of THIS POWER IS BROKE DONT YOU UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This seriously needs to be fixed.


/end rant

About the endurance. Im confused, is a high number good or bad? Im guessing that high is good and low is bad, since the endurance is .339 for stone melee (I thought that this was one of the most endurace using sets.)

thanks kat

wow...thats the RIP off... selling in Faultline. They buy training enhancements for more than they buy DOs whats up with that?

how many of the extra missions are available after you thwart the bank heist???
