Thinking of making a def

It's still a little confusing as the Prima Guide listed the corruptor version as a 50% debuff. To me that seemed the right balanced figure for the power. 500% just seems a little too large which is why I always assumed it was bugged....

From what I've seen Prima has a lot more mistakes than City of Data. To be honest I've only used the controller version but I'm certain it's 500% and according to those patch notes it's meant to be the same for all 3 ATs. Whether that's over-powered, well that's a different question (for the record, I don't think it is compared to other debuffs).


CoX 50s: <ill/rad> <ice/ice> <fire/kin> <grav/sonic> <ice/storm> <earth/kin> <kin/elec> <cold/psy> <thugs/dark> <fire/dark> <dark/elec> <night widow> <EM/ninj> <mind/icy>

Ever since I teamed with a D3 offender with my PB over a year ago, I admired the powersets, as she outperformed me by far. Maybe I was playing my PB wrong, but she hardly got hit at all, and she did most of the killing. Ever since, I wanted to start a D3 offender.
However, dark/sonic sounds good, as /sonic got a stackable -res element, and the inherent -acc can be uliminated(sp) using the dark/'s -def...


@Double

Double Flame 50 fire/devices
Double Shade 50 tri-form warshade
Double Light 50 dwarf-human peacebringer
Double Control 50 earth/rad

Twilight grasp has a 20 second duration and a 8 second recharge for a -50% regen. With a 2 second activation that means if you have a single recharge in it you can get -100% regen.

[/ QUOTE ] Not sure about that.
General note, the debuff on all powers; the same effect, from the same power, from the same person, dose not stack.
EG if you shoot a mob with dark blast, he gets a -9.375%acc debuff, if you shoot him a 2nd time before it's worn off they do not stack so it's still at -9.375%acc debuff.
However if a 2nd /dark also shoots the same mob they will stack.
As well as the debuff from gloom will stack with the one from darkblast.

So I'm not sure that twlight grasp -regen will stack, although it would stack with fluffies one to give you -100%regen

[/ QUOTE ] Twilight Grasp has no effects tagged as "This effect does not stack from the same caster", therefore all the effects stack.

Lingering Radiation has a 90 second recharge and a 30 second duration for a -100% regen.

[/ QUOTE ]
This was fixed in December. From notes:

[ QUOTE ]
Defender Lingering Radiation powers -Regen was operating at 1/5th the scale of the equivalent Corruptor or Controller version. The base scale now matches across all three Archetypes.

[/ QUOTE ]
So it's now -500% which Dark won't be able to get to.

[/ QUOTE ]

If I recall correctly, in the upcoming I9 there will be -regen resistances that will affect Lingering Radiation and Radiation Infection hence these figures may be provisional.

[/ QUOTE ]In I9 AV regen resitance will not be ignored by LR and a few other powers. The dark and kin -regen was already affected by the resistance. Radiation infection has no -regen.

Actually that example is not true either, multiple Dark Blasts will stack the Accuracy Debuff. But they only last 6 seconds so you can never stack many in any case. Ditto with most defender blasts according to city of Data, the easiest to prove this with is Sonics. My Dark/Sonics just has Accuracy in the first blast as its nice and quick and can used to make the other blasts hit harder.

Its generally longer lasting direct attack debuffs that don't stack, Acid Arrow for example, the -Resist and -Defence won't stack.

As MaX says the debuffs from Twilight will stack with itself too.
