No, you don't. Whirlwind draws endurance based on the number of enemies in range, so if enemies aren't being thrown out of the area of effect, it'll drain your endurance in a matter of seconds.

I have re-read this thread over 4 times now...I'm still in disbelief...

It's just he said '1 or 2' in there and it's unclear if he meant 1 or 2 powers or T1/T2.

Sorry, Rangle has been taking lessons from Warboss of late it seems.

Warboss has problems with words. And days. And pretty much anything else.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Same goes for me! I love so many elements in the game now, these fixes could not come at a more welcome time.

As awesome as everything else was, what would get me much more excited about what I saw in today's chat would be the implementation of "gun hands" or at the very least, a trial run on the idea by giving us a "none" or "invisible" pistol option in the creator for DP. We have video proof that it looks cool. I'd love to see the devs let us move forward on this idea

Dear NCsoft, if you go through with this shutdown you've guaranteed you'll not see another dime from me on any project you put out, ever.

Love the nuke changes.

And I love the Presence changes. I often find myself running out of powers I want to take, what with Fitness being inherent and the fact that I hate the Fighting pool. This leaves me throwing in crazy things like Concealment or Presence just to fill space.

Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end

If I am looking for a 1 slot wonder, I am looking for powers to stuff LotG in. Placate doesn't take any IO sets.

Given that if I just nuked, I would want to use blasts while BU was still active.

Bottom 4: (Peacebringer) way below everything else, Mastermind, Dominator, Blaster

Brutes are good, but they aren't even top of the food chain. Unless what you mean is farms that have enemies within a narrow range of performance.

If anyone from issue 1 o 2 remembers gravity control had Fold space for its tier 9 (basically the pre- assemble the team). It went live and was changed afterward into singularity. A team teleport and a control pet are not remotely the same thing.

This was established well before Castle, or anyones else's cottage rule was 'created'

regarding the summary so far, sounds great! look forward to trying the new fighting power on single target builds to get a bit more aoe.
As i recall Fold Space was removed in beta, not post launch. Pretty sure i saw someone at the Talos tram with a Singy well before Issue 1 went live.


FWIW, the "cottage rule" has never stated that powers cannot be reworked or replaced with a new power if the Devs decide to do so, only that doing so is the last resort solution.

So far i'm looking forward to seeing exactly what stuff gets fixed. And what stuff doesn't. The announced changes so far sound appealing to me.

With no changes the new Fighting pool will be a significant buff to Super Strength since buffing those powers will make them functionally better when Rage is applied then the single target Super Strength attacks.

I'd have to go back and listen to it again, but I believe that was the description they gave. It was as I was logging in to Twitch.TV that this came up so I didn't get all the details.

The other detail that I did catch I won't comment on since it will only anger some.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Why do you care? According to you the game is dying anyway. (Yeah, i know you backpedaled on that and tried to claim that you only meant it wouldn't outlast the heat death of the universe, but you're no Romney.)

Oh, I realized my two posts were negative. I really am excited to see changes to the power pools! This is awesome stuff.

So for fighting pool the best thing they could come up with is sand of mu/flurry power with a bonus added in? Isnt the fact that we already have 2 of these powers mean we shouldnt get a 3rd ?

should at least give us the option of not picking up boxing or kick .sick of being forced to grab these powers for my tank..its bad enoughwe need these powers more then any a.t. in the bunch but forcing it is ridiculous

Not anymore really. Years back, it was rather strictly followed. Glad to see that the devs now-a-days bend the rules alittle because it's honestly has held many sets back... poor poor Energy Melee.... Seriously why does that set have 5 single target attacks again?

Ammo switching for Dual Pistols was my idea:

You did. And before I made my comment.

I just wanted Nal to understand your incorrect spelling of the term was in no way part of a Rangle Plot™.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

You are (deliberately or not) ignoring the colloquial, idiomatic use of "X is dying", which implies that its demise is predicted to be in the timeframe of "sooner", not "later."

Overuse of this phrase is punishable by being forced to speak exclusively in geologic timeframes.

"What time do you want to go to the movies?"
"Right now."
"When do you expect to die?"
"Right now."
"When will Baja California split off from the North American coast?"
"Soon."

if you think dying means get closer chronologically to the time you die, then you have a very bad definition of dying. A useless definition.
