No. We have NOT been recording SG mode since ANY issue. I will also confirm that NO datamining will be happening (for exactly the reasons given above).

Well reports out of Gencon indicate that Lord Recluse himself may have said otherwise as detailed in this thread.

So did the fan get the info wrong or did Lord Recluse hand out bad information? Just asking ...

I never herded with my fire tanker and I got used to the fear with the last issue so it's not a big deal to me. However the new recharge timer on Burn is insanely long. I was already forced to take CJ just so I wouldn't go flying around the map from knockback and thus force the perps to run out of my Burn patch just so they could stay in melee range with me. I can even accept the damage reduction as it's still enough damage to do the job. But combined with the long recharge timer Burn has been reduced to an extremely situational power. I'd rather you reduced the damage even more and cut the recharge timer. That would be a better solution. Now I've returned to the same problem I had before I4, running out of endurance before I can finish off mobs becuase I ahve to rely on my secondary powers for offense too much. This means now I will also have to pickup the Fitness pool just to control my endurance. Fire Tankers are the weakest "tank" and Burn was our redemption, and now it's our curse.

Gratz on the Ding to a new job!

Sad to see you go.

I'm stuck in that same situation. The one I'm really steamed about is the Psychic Clockwork King. Absolutely no indication he was going to be there from the misison briefing and he is nasty as heck. He has a viscious PBAE psionic attack that basically wipes the entire group. Even the tank was shocked at getting one shot. I can't find anyone available with Psionic defense and what am I supposed to do while that person battles the King for me anyway. As regen scrapper even MoG is worthless against him. So the mission has sat there for several levels and I still can't clear it. Am I going to have to wait until cons green or grey to beat him?

The real problem is that this was the only mission available from this contact and there is no warning about it. If I had known there was an AV I would have declined it so at least I could get a mission from someone else. And if and when I finally do clear this mission, what the heck is the next one going to be like from this contact?

Do things like Burn count as landing more and more blows?

I believe Statesman indicated melee attacks only, but unclear.

Booyah!!!!

Live and let live. Each person should be allowed to enjoy the game in their own way as long as they are not infringing upon the rights of others. This in no way prevents you from playing your own style. If the Devs want to do something about this they can easily put a grouping level range in the game and then you would have to SK someone and keep them within 200 ft for the SK to get xp. Until the devs change the system it is a perfectly legitamate way of xping.

I personally would rather earn the levels, but I do not care what others do.

I think Positron may have made a tiny error when he posted it.

Actually he did not make a mistake. You need to expand your vocabulary.

Awesome, it was much better than Cats!
