  1. A friend of me swaers by having the proc slotted in Blazing Aura (*is generating a lot fury*).
    Pretty sure it's just his impression since he didn't try the proc in other powers.
    I don't know if or how it proc works for auras, espec. out of combat (aura is on but doesn't hit anything).
    If it stops the fury meter to drop when AFk'ing maybe it's something to consider?

    Can I ask if Burn would make a good candidate for the proc?
    With 100% effective recharge it would be at the 12,5 sec margin, should be good for the superior version.
  2. I usually disable PMB in Windows-Services, until it bugs me again.
    Not sure if that's the same as install/uninstall but my taskmanager doesn't show PMB when it's disabled.
  3. Hmm okay
    PBAoE from pool powers seem to be sort of limited for stalkers?
    Would like to have another AoE stun + damage really, and tintable if possible.
    Toon was supposed to be a spectral pirate clown (everything glowing green).
    The pompoms of EM/ were looking just right to me (and boxing gloves)

    Going with ElM/ then .. Thunderstrike will have to get the job done for stacking Disorient, after OppGloom.
    Really need a way to deal with groups of bosses since there's almost no def and res is only so-so.
    Never played a stalker before btw

    Thanks for the input Brand
  4. Made a EM/DA yesterday and it took me 20 levels until I realized there's no Whirling Hands x.x
    I facepalmed hard! lol
    Anyway, before I reroll into another AT just wanted to ask if there's any plans to give WH to stalkers at some point.
    Don't know if this is realistic but I feel between the 3 early levels ST attacks, Placate and Stun, 1 of them could be replaced with WH. Without breaking the set.
    Well Stun or one of the first 3 ST attacks really, since Placate is sort of a *signature power*, even though not many people who use it after the changes to AS, AFAIK.
    Might need to shuffle the power available levels though.
    The lack of Death Shroud on the DA side, I can live with, but there's no AoE on the EM side either...
    Maybe EM/DA just a bad pairing for stalkers?
    Really would want this on a stalker, but don't mind rolling a brute if it's not going to be changed anytime in the future.
    Thanks for reading
  5. Wouldn't mind a giant growth temp power (for double size, out of combat)
    Also that portable tailor is something I can see a lot people would use (as for the desk and mirror pet thing)
    I hope that future content and April fools aren't mutually exclusive
    good stuff
    Bee bark reminds me of monkey journey to the west tale btw
  6. This is just a random suggestion from my side, if crit chance for scrappers is being brought up.

    Rather than up'ing it straight away, I could think of the Corruptor mechanics as in that the chance to crit is scaling upwards, while mob health is at 50%-0%
    (think like open wounds, bleeding effects, crushed bones, incinerated, shock etc. pick your poison)
    On healthbags like AVs this would make quite a difference though
    For a solo scrapper who can't touch their regen rate to begin with, it won't.

    The other way around would be similar to SR's increasing DR, that is if their own HP meter drops below e.g. 50% their crit chance would increase.
    But tbh most scrappers I know prefer to stay healthy and top off their HPs most of the time.
    /end suggestion

    Most of my scrappers don't get played anymore, because I find them too much ST dmg centered nowadays. Has nothing to do with scrappers feeling less powerful (which they don't). It's a personal shift, prefering ATs that bring more variety and team support.
  7. Thanks to both of you, that was very helpful
    53% ..
    That means +5 Lv 50 IOs are equal to *purple* enhancement numbers?
    This also means that Hasten and Stamina can work with just 2 slots now
    (sorrys have been away for almost 2 years, it's a lot new stuff to learn)

    Going to check how to enable the booster effect on IOs in Mids
  8. I was looking for *hard* numbers on the Enhancement booster effect.
    Percentage wise or going on absolute numbers, talking Lv 50 IOs.
    e.g. Lv 50 vanilla Rech Red IO: +42,4%
    What's the bonus on a +5 boostered Lv 50 Rech Red IO?
    Thanks in advance
  9. Torso
    Robotic Arm 1, 2, 3

    is missing:

    Shoulder
    Resistance Single, Double
    Praetoria Police
  10. That *bug* or whatever you like to call it, plagued me as well.

    Someone mentioned, it can be caused by one or multiple characters in the chatlog files.
    So, if you do chatlog, try to ZIP what you have there or move your logs to a temp folder.

    I did this and for some reason it stopped crashing me.

    If it's a special character this should be looked into by the devs, but maybe it's very hard to track down or reproduce.

  11. 2 combinations that don't seem to be possible atm

    Legs Armor + Thigh Boots
    Clipping was very much wanted for this, espec. with the old legacy thighs to cover the rim on the armor.




    Legs Armor + Witch kneehigh boots

    At the moment we can only use the long Witch boots together with Leg Armor and the top end is clipping with the armor.
    I would like to see Witch kneehigh boots for all leg options btw, they look better than the ones with wings for *casual* outfits.




    EDIT:

    Please add these to the CCC

    I'm running XP 64-bit, I was looking into SP3, too.
    However SP 2 and all *Security Patches* possible are installed.
    Can't seem to do more than that atm since it's said to be the equivalent of a XP 32-bit SP3.

    Was more hoping someone could spot missing or conflicting drivers rather than a *drivers are out of date or do upgrade to SP3*

    That's the latest Catalyst driver I could do for XP 64-bit.


    I'll look into other posts dealing with this, as OV ohms has suggested.
  13. Thanks for the reply.

    Hope you can see anything suspicious,

    thanks again, mune out
  14. Since the last *extended* server maint, I'm getting kicked out with an error report popup when I receive or send a tell.
    It's basically unplayable atm since every tell is stopping my CoH client from working.

    I send a error report every time but haven't got any response so far, since it is week-end.

    Any idea what this could be?
  15. I couldn't get the patcher into patching, even after a PC reboot.

    Now I hit the patcher for test server and just cancelled that patching,
    then used the regular client and it started patching.
  16. Was having something similar to this, about 3 days ago.

    Mission in RWZ: Strike Rikti Assault Group (spawn with leader Sal'tar or what's he called)

    We decided to just find that 1 spawn, so I tried to dismiss all my Robot pets at the entrance.
    The pets disappeared from the pet window, but were still standing by the entrance.

    When we found the Rikti leader and his group, I tried to cast new pets, but that didn't work.

    After completing and exiting the mish, the pets were back and also on my pet window, in RWZ next to the helicopter.

    Thanks for that.
    I scrapped the idea and the rest of the base pretty quickly though.
    There was a nightclub leading off the other end of the station via the rest rooms.
    Had a factory and sewers, a town square with an old cathedral and a warehouse and a theater.
    Problem was more .. it feels lifeless and wears off quickly, it's a thematical thing.
    We can't populate bases with NPCs .. or zombies ...
    It might work for a level design, but for a base it's not homely enough.
    Maybe if you can have exterior and also interior rooms attached to them.
    That might work, but without doors, it is hard to make sensible transitions.
  18. Made this a long time ago, base no longer exists.

  19. It can work ...

    Slot Roots for damage (all Positron's 'xept DAM/Range) + Trap of the Hunter PROC

    Slot Carrion Creepers for damage, recharge and PROCs
    for example:
    Ragnarok - Damage/Recharge: Level 50
    Ragnarok - Accuracy/Damage/Recharge: Level 50
    Ragnarok - Damage/Endurance: Level 50
    Positron's Blast - Chance of Damage(Energy): Level 42
    Trap of the Hunter - Chance of Damage(Lethal): Level 42
    Impeded Swiftness - Chance of Damage(Smashing): Level 30

    Reason to add damage is ..
    Creepers often hang back (can't SB them to my knowledge) and you don't want to wait too long at the next spawn to FS, so add some damage too here. No biggie

    Fire epics (Fire Ball) is better than Stone (Fissure) to allow mobs to keep beating on each other.

    Slot the complete set Coercive, the PROC helps a lot too.
    I went for solid ranged defense and added Tough and Fire Shield for S/L RES.
    Usually you don't get attacked much other than from bosses (if you have them)

    Bosses take A LOT longer on a Plants/Kin than on a Fire/kin or a Plants/Storm, so you might want to turn those off while solo-farming.

    P.S.
    Recipes and salvage drops probably have a lowered chance due to confused mobs damage.
    I have to do more *data mining*
  20. Thanks all, yes the damage is a long duration ticks feast.
    I've just tried it out myself and it's not so hot lol.
    Was prepared for spamming cages since I let Tornados go in regularly, too.

    My idea was to slot the 2 PROCs and some DMG,END and RECH and leave it at that for a little bit more OOMPF.
    Probably getting Assault instead since I already have Maneuvers.
  21. Anyone is using Bonfire as an attack?
    I'd like to try that out since I'm often without any other power ready to use.
    I'd use it after every mob is nicely fire caged.
    Toon is a Fire/Storm lv 37 atm.
    Also I wonder if PROCs would only fire on the initial cast since it's a pseudo pet.
    Thanks in advance

    A friend is playing that combo and it makes the rest of the team look pretty weak compared to her build and how she's playing it.
    I often log off when I'm on a tanker when she logs on with her Plant/Stormie and grab a blaster or my Plant/Kin for faster boss ownage.
    ITFs are more or less a joke when someone is on a well-slotted and played Plant/Storm.
  23. I, too, would like to know how this build combo would work solo.

    Just deleted a Storm/Dark and a Rad/Sonic in their mid-20's for lack of fast-forward soloing ability and not wanna screw myself over again.

    Most of my G Friends and also players in large SGs are simply hidden from Search because we/they usually play together and don't have to get into random teams.

    If you see 130 on Search, you could probably double that for the number of players being logged on.
    That's still nowhere near the 500+ there used to be, but Union ain't dead.
    And it has grown into a very friendly community.

    Always.
    Think that's a non brainer, or we'd start at square 1 every time we're talking builds. Hmm?
