I was on Justice last night and there are many people that are not running just AE missions. Join Justice for All channel and try and get an invite to Chrome Support channel...

I logged in the morning on a toon I hadnt played in a while and I had 82 email spam messages.. its really annoying to clock 82 times.. easily solved with a delete all button...

PLEASE!!!!!

I dont know...

Fun ????

So will I be able to make metallic looking spiney thingies or not ????

Correct... Freedom is up but Justice and Virtue are down...

hmm,

Always been sort of "meh" about cold, but I imagine the extra HP and Defense would be pretty useful with those freakishly squishy Imps.

Besides, since Jack has squat for defense, Ice/Cold would be really nice for making him a much better pet.

YES !!!!!!!!

Despite these "number" people talking about corrs beating out defenders, I just don't see it at all. I take a corr out, I feel weak, useless, and unable to do meaningful damage.

As a defender, I feel weak, but useFUL, and unable to do meaninful damage (my new cold/rad notwithstanding, that guy burns crowds).

I'd rather be useful than lackluster at support, like I feel corrs really are (along with controllers).

I guess to a degree that depends on the combo and how to curruptor is slotted and built..

My issue is that defenders secondary is damage and they should be better at it AND they should have a inherent that actually works for them APART from a ream...

I dont know how anyone cant see that defenders have been largely ignored as a AT for a very very long time. I play all AT's not one and it has been a long time since defenders got some help. We got a crappy useless inherent power that IMO was created around the EMPATH and not the DEFENDER.. especially based around some of the stupid things Jack Emmert said like.. with the new inherent empath might let the team take a little more damage to get the end cost reduction..

Utterly Stupid by Design....

Defiance got re-written into something that was actually useful. Vigilance is crap.. and its still crap...

Defenders need more damage. I was fighting an equal level Boss in PI the other day that ws HELD and it took me over 21 attacks to beat this boss.. that is just pathetic !!!!

No one can deny that defenders need some kind of damage boost and an inherent that helps the defender that is NOT reliant on what happens to the team...

I believe defenders really need a damage boost because IMO they should be better ranged fighters. I am concerned that with going rogue the defender will become an afterthought for the Corruptor.

Nuke I want something like what Deadpool does on the Marvel Ultimate Alliance game..

I also want a secondary that compliments.. I do not want to just have a dual pistol/energy blaster//

The higher Tank resists should help, but I think Elec Armor tanks are going to have to rely on Tough and End Drain as mitigation. Think of it as Fire Armor with a sapper power instead of a Heal. I'd love to see Elec Tanks replace CP with Short Circuit.

Is it gimmicky? Yes. Is it anbother set that requires Tough to be viable to most- yes. But It is different, and that is whaty makes it fun, for me at least.

As for Capping Defense? I was able to get 48%+ melee defense on my Elec/Elec Stalker, so this IS doable.. and looks like a very sick possibility (in a good way).

[/ QUOTE ]

Tough doesnt bother me.. I put tough and weave on Every Tank ( yes even Stone.. and yes its overkill )

Its just that I see the set on Brutes and I am not that crazy about it on brutes.. I can see of you really went for end drain then that would add some damage mitigation and you really dont need Conserve Power AND the Drain... One of those has to go.. They should just add something called Electric Surge which acts like Healing Flames..

Semi-related: Castle, can you at least confirm or deny that the list shown on the site (Rad Blast for Blasters, etc) is comprehensive? Is it just a 'these are some of' list, or is that all the ones being ported? Just to direct the speculation from here, so we don't get several months of "But there could be more!" if there isn't going to be.

[/ QUOTE ]

If it is the same list I saw last week, and I am 99% certain it is, then it contains everything being proliferated in I16.

[/ QUOTE ]

You guys can probably blame me for these sets. I specifically asked them to proliferate sets that wouldn't require new animations or VFX, as we're already swamped with supporting power customization. We had to make one new animation for Broadsword Stalkers, but other than that they were able to directly port everything over or at least pull powers and visuals from existing powersets.

Sigh still no Brute with a giant Sword... as comic book as a burly guy with a giant sword is we still cant seem to get a brute with a sword !!!!!

ice/cold..

is it possible to slow someone's recharge so much, that they go back in time?

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes but by then you've made them immortal.

LOL !!!!!!

and yeah Im making an Ice/Cold... Believe it.. I love Ice Powers...

One of the keys to Mercs is that they are very much in the middle of the pack and how they shine really does depend on the secondary you choose. I used Trick Arrow because it added a lot of debuffs to help with the mercs mostly lethal damage ( Commando does get fire attacks later ) and the control powers of the TA set blended well with the Spec Ops control.

Mercs fight best at range and you can use this to your advantage with the Oil Slick because as pets they are not bothered by the oil sick bug that makes pets scatter..

Ive seen the really crazy take group fly and turn Mercs into this flying aerial assault team..

I always say its not what you take.. Its the way that you use it...

I dont know to me Electric Armor looks like Fire Armor without Healing Flames.

I will say this.. I hope that make a secondary as well. I would like to see some more complete sets rather than just a primary and thats it..

Have one scrapper at level 50 just so I can say I have played every at to 50.. Find scrappers utterly boring..

HU HA !!!!!

Those cats were fast as lighthing !!!!!

Ok I almost lost it two days ago..

I join a team with my Rad/Sonic and they are doing the typical level 54 boss run but someone I had teamed with before asked me to help out so I did.

I jump on the team and they already have 4 down. I drop my RI, EF and hit Lingering Radiation to debuff the mobs. Then I use Howl to amp up the -res and start blasting away.. This gives them time to rez and then take the mob down.

Second mob rinse and repeat. Drop the toggles debuffs and howl and then blast away..

Someone asks.. how we doing now.. some other person says.. we are doing fine but the defender is trying to be a blaster and its getting on my nerves...

I said Excuse You ?? what was that...

He said your a defender.. Dont you have an AoE heal I said yes.. He said well your support then use it.. ( keep in mind NO ONE had died since I showed up on the team )

I said I do other things to keep the team alive than heal. In fact they work better than my heals. I am debuffing you must not play defenders much at all. They Shouted I Have a defender. I play defenders just do your job and heal...

I said OK.. you asked for it..

Turned off every toggle.. and stopped blasting with my -res attacks.. within 30 seconds the entire team had died except me and the Stone tank..

What happened..... why did we die..

Then the lesson began...

I said Oh well see I was debuffing the +4 mobs to hit by almost 50% and their defense by 50% but I had to shut that off to heal..

I said then I was debuffing the damage they did to the team by 25% and increasing our damage by 30% but then I had to shut that off to heal...

Oh then I was taking down their recharge by about 75% but then you know I had to support and just use my heal...

Oh yeah that AoE attack that was annoying you.. that was another 20%-res which took their resistance down to 50% ..

Oh yeah then I had to shut off the 18% damage boost from Assault and the 12% to hitbuff from Tactics... you know cause I had to conserve the end to spam a 23% heal...

so yeah you gave up all that debuffing for a heal...

Then the team leader kicked the trouble maker.. ( who apparently was trying to micromanage the team the whole time ) LOL...

Here endeth the lesson.

Actually I want a Broadsword/SR brute... badly...

Id love claws too

Pretty Pretty please !!!!!!

My rant from the Underperfoming power sets post


-Sonic Resonance... my beef with this set is several things.. One its a pretty much a straight port of Force Field except with Damage Resistance instead of Defense... Detention Field is crap in PVE and Sonic Cage is crap as well.. and you know why its crap ?? Its not so much the effect ( which in itself is annoying ) is that it should be a toggle that I can TURN OFF when I want too...

Sonic Reuplsion.. yes thats what everyone wants.. Mobs scattered all over the place... not a team power..

I also hate the fact that one of my BEST powers Disruption field ONLY WORKS WITH AN ALLY.. the freaking TRICK ARROW defender figured out how to make this power a Location AoE but me the MASTER of Sonic cant figure this out ???!!!!! WTH !!!!! and he gets a 25 foot radius too ???!!!!!!!

Oh yeah.... Liquify.. what a piece of crap.. yes it works... but its still a piece of crap... First off all Sonic is all about -Res... yet my TIER FREAKING NINE has NO -res in it... NONE.... There is a lamo hold that I have seen work like once.. oh yeah and a Defense to hit Debuff thats nice.... but its equal to what a RAD defender does in their tier TWO power.. so the power I have waited 32 or 38 levels to get is no better than what a Rad defender got more than 20 levels earlier ??????? you gotta be kidding me...

the solution for blaster is to have Aim for Electric Blast replaced with a power that gives Aim and boosts the END drain effect. That would let you use short circuit and others to drain one foe's end all of the way.

It wouldn't be usable every fight, but would make end drain useful even when not paired with /end or /nrg

Also an interesting idea...
