    Origins

    Sounds like a lot of work when i could just buy some SOs that fit my origin.


    Very cool idea though, i for one love SOs because they have all that...story (1-2 sentences haha) behind it compared to IOs
  2. I think what you are suggesting would cause a bit too much lag, especially if you have multiple people on the team doing it. I have to say though, cryo really needs some better animation. Not even half as cool as pyro or ion.

    Holy Carp!.. I swear it feels like my DPS has doubled! Probably really hasn't, but wow is it a noticeable difference. Is Gloom really that badazz? Is it supposed to be?
    You sir, just ramped it up to 11.

    Ah, i didnt know it had a lower target cap.

    WM or BA for /FA

    Im not sure but i think there are numbers out there that say WM is better in the long run. In general higher base dmg with a longer rech is best and this is most true for brutes because they run with such high +dmg.That 10 or so extra base dmg ends up being over 30-40 extra dmg and that 3seconds of extra rech gets down to an extra 1 second.

    But maybe its BA that's better @.@

    Rad: even the -def fits, they are easier to see now beacuse you have made them brighter and easier to see! :P
    Dark (colored white)

    Are the ones that come to mind. Of course PBs also works but lets face it, they kind of suck.
  8. Weapon redraw, i think, doesnt actually slow things down. Of course, I've also heard they changed that. And the dmg per animation for 1k cuts is actually higher than FS if i remember right.
  9. If they arent 50 though other IOs they drop with be 49, which means they are worth a lot less.

    I think thats a bug. Is that the interface you have? I once was fighting a scrapper who didnt have any interface and had a ton of reactive icon's on me.

    OK, now THAT is awesome.
  12. Well, blue side there is the demon farm (if you wanan go blue side thats pretty much the best) and red side people seem to do nemi (liberate TV i think it is). Judgement (pyronic or ion, imo), reactive, and the alpha for the lvl shifti (f you dont need cardiac spirit will help the most) are of course the most useful iPowers.

    I personally prefer to farm tickets, but thats just me.

    EDIT: i *think* the demon farm is from Maria Jenkins, or maybe it's Harvey. Either way i think it might have been removed but then added again, i can't remember.

    I'm hoping they went thru the trouble of making it so it scales depending on how many targets you hit, maybe base 1 end for each extra target, but who knows if thats even possible. If not I'm likely going to be playing more ill/cold even less now, the idea of spending some +10 end to buff one god damn person, i duo or do smaller teams with him mostly, would be awful.

    I see. I thought they somehow applied the same thing and it was just like having two achilles procs, you just get more chances for the -res.
  15. Well, if you like to be pure epic awesomeness and being OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and ramping it up to 11 you might like them.
  16. data chunk, not data link. A LOT easier to open.

    All the recovery and recharge in the world won't help if you can no longer control your character, regardless of your reasons.
    Ah, that is a good point. Seems everyone that plays this game has kids. I guess when you are young you are supposed to have a life >.<

    each -resist proc is only 20% and theres only 2 -resist procs, so thats -40% max from procs, and reactice is -10% with max stack of 4 aso you would get -50% resist max out of what you described


    as for the build in question, either a DM/fire or SS/fire brute with either the -regen interface or reactives DoT. for lore pets i would suggest warworks (unless one of the newer trees in i20.5 works better)
    Do the -res procs actually stack? I thought they didn't.

    I totally don't get why people don't want speed boost, its +rech AND +Recov for Christ sake, guess they are just too slow to be able to control it. But i guess some people just don't think fast enough, it's not like they can help it. It's not like the CHOSE to ride the short bus.

    Anyway, i cant wait for all most new lore pets. So many look cool, of course lore is still going to be the worst iSlot out there. and keye's reactor sounds pretty tough

    EDIT: yes i know im evil :P

    Anyway, been thinking about respecing into a higher STdps build on my brute, right now he doesn't *quite* have enough DPS but if i were to slot gloom with dmg and maybe add the -res proc to burn he could do it. Of course, last time i tried was before they nerfed reactive (still dont think dmg auras were broken >.<)

    I also have Combat Jump, and the Flight Pool which is why at level 42 I am just now thinking about the Patron Powers..took Fly at level 41

    Am I correct in thinking that the increases to max health are increases to hitpoints?

    As far as Defense goes, I am resistance based toon who is recharge thirsty..and acc thirsty..and endurance thirsty. I could not quench all the thirsts
    Yes, it does increase your max HP but not by enough to make it noticeable. If you try shoot for hit points you will maybe add about...300 or so and then you are about 20% tougher. But if you try to soft cap def a boss's tohit will drop from 65% to 6.5% which means you are 1000% STRONGER. And something really wonderful about SS/fire is the speed you can kill things which means you will almost always kill a mob before any -def stacks onto you.

    With SS/ you don't need to worry about acc AT ALL. You will be able to get 95% tohit against +4s even with the crappy +acc in something like kin combat. Rage is that good. It's still easy enough, not very cheap though, to get a very nice chunk for +rech when you're at the soft cap. Another important thing about +rech is the more you add, the less each new amount helps so you can get to the point where shooting for more +rech is simply a waste.

    More DoT is still more DoT.
    It's not that the -res is better now its that they all suck that much more.

    Exactly. The incarnate content was supposed to give us the ability to become stronger which it did.

    I could see a bot/ MM doing it if they use a ton of insp and were built exactly for doing it. Those dang robot throw out A LOT of -regen.
