Which isn't what I was arguing. I was saying it wasn't surprising that the /regen was the one that died, because...well. It's a /regen.

Do you say that because you believe it, or because you think there is any chance at all anyone else will?
Edit: I really dislike being dragged into the mud the pigs doing the dragging always win so here are a few of the facts that support my statement.
- All Blasters can select an epic defense shield that provides 15 points of defense, no scrappers can do that.
- The blaster ATO set provides twice the positional defense the scrapper set does.
- Blasters can slot high value positional defense sets into their attacks which they have many of.
- Blasters have a greater flexibility in what powers they need to take and which they can use as mules because they have so many redundant attacks
- Some blasters can slot the coercive persuasion set which provides 5% positional defense.

Quote:Stone, BP and I duoed just about all the blueside TFs and we did them with no temps and no deaths. When someone says that a scrapper is 20 time stronger than a blaster they are just full of it. The resistance caps on blasters and scrappers are the same and its no harder to build a blaster for defense than it is a scrapper.Originally Posted by Stone Daemon
Which says nothing, because a low level regen scrapper on a kajillion inf build is about as epic as a low level willpower scrapper on an SO build.
That screenshot was from Jul 09. Blasters could deal with the game perfectly well back then and they can still deal with it now. -
Last weekend the VEATS decided to relax, after all work and no play isn't good for anyone. We had all heard wonderful about the Nerva Island Botanical Gardens and religious shrine. Unfortunately we had no idea how to get there. First we tried a helpful if somewhat clueless fellow by the name of Sparctriel. After about 10 tries he suggested we talk to the CoT in Cap Au.
The CoT in Cap Au unfortunately all seemed to be involved in rituals of one sort of another after a few (25) tries one of them mentioned the longbow in Nerva were running tours. Joy back to Nerva for us and more scouting to try and find these "Helpful" longbow.
Anyway after dealing with the longbow bureaucracy we managed to make it to the botanical gardens.
Here you can see us talking to the friendly guides about the petrified forest exhibit. -

At one point I [vaguely] remember a Dev saying that Blasters already have the lowest aggro-per-damage setting the game allows. I also remember Scrapper/Blaster being a "Worst of both worlds" duo (the Scrapper did nothing to keep the Blaster alive including get aggro), and at level 10 Brute/Blaster is probably much the same.
We'll see what it looks like in a few levels, but for now it was a shock that I'd forgotten about.
That is a scrapper blaster duo running original Positron in an hour and 14 minutes before we had access to +6 level powers when exemped and without a kajillion inf build. And with one death that wasn't the blaster. -
Quote:Well the epic ATs do not trade harder play for higher rewards, and it there is a certain amount of sense to having people learn and play a game instead of just slamming their fists on the number keys and hoping for the bestOriginally Posted by Bosstone
Absolutely, as an Epic AT. Those should be the Advanced Classes, the ones that are harder to play but allow the experienced player to reap more dividends. It certainly should not be an AT that's available out of the box to every player immediately and theoretically has its own niche that makes players want to play it over any other AT.
Blasters are popular. Newbies like them. That's not a good position to put a difficult-but-rewarding AT. -
Hey Mage
Looks like a fun build. I tried to PM a build to you but you aren't receiving them. Anywho with ninjutsu you reall want to be above the softcap. It doesn't buy you more mitigation but it does give you breathing space before your defense starts getting debuffed to nothing. Nin only gets about a third the defense debuff resistance SR gets -
I have been following all these threads off an on and have to ask a few questions.
If the experiments show blasters can be played at the same level as other ATs and the data mining from the game show that they aren't, what does that mean ?
Is there room in the game for an AT that just takes more effort to play ?
If the AT can be made to perform well with just the tools the game provides but there are observed performance problems are the problems a player issue or a developer problem.
If the game is about telling stories of heroes and their struggles shouldn't the story of the hero that does overcome obstacles and suffers to do so have a place ? -
Was going to Aim Veat madness saturday @4.00 PM at all lowbie villains.
Starting with a DFB untill we could do a DIB, then Moving to a Tarikos. -
It was support your local magus week for the VEATS last saturday. We were helping out a local magic user, who had his daughter kidnapped, was being harassed by the Warriors and the Midnighters and finally we were able to right a cosmic wrong perpetrated by that no goodnick Positron.
Can you believe positron actually claimed the flames of Prometheus were meant to be his ? Dude you would have done better with the "I was just borrowing them defense". Anyway we recovered the flames and are holding them for safekeeping until we can arrange a meeting with their rightful owner. Unfortunately he is resolving the legal issues surrounding his recent and unorthodox divorce. Really, till death us do part is not meant to be read literally, Manticore. You could have gone to Vegas and gotten this resolved much more neatly. -

If there needs to be a limiter with respect to what a person can bring to a trial or TF, Paragon Studios should put the barrier in the way and say; "Stop right there. You can't do this because you cannot make a significant contribution." However, this has not happened and likely won't happen. Steamrolling content is well and good. I love it. I enjoy it. It's not a lot of fun to start something and fail due to lack of DPS, buffage, etc. BTDT. -

If she wants to go with the bust a myth theme there is another one I recall. Its the 8 Stalkers doing a LRSF (flat 50s). IIRC the original statement was by castle that it could be done by them with SOs and that was of course pre incarnate and pre buff.

Here is a thought
City of Mythbusters.
Teams pick a myth/conventional wisdom about the game and try to prove or disprove it.
Whoever takes the hardest myth and presents the most convincing proof or disproof wins.
Examples.
In this thread
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=284248
The idea that blasters underperform every other archetype, in every combination of powersets solo and teamed. Prove or Disprove.
Another could be that a league with no level shifts can't complete the dilemma diabolique. This was tried on beta with a heavily geared up but not ideal team. Maybe Protector can do better ? -
Fire/Dark or Dark/Dark Dominator are looking interesting. I hear the FX on the new powers are great.
-
This weak the veats are posing in an underground base we picked up cheap. Seems all we had to do was let the previous occupants know World War II was over and they LOST !! Well that and give them a little assistance moving on.
I have heard that Lord Recluce has been impressed with our efforts and may have something for us this week. -

When I saw this post, I was wondering why this thread had been moved to the Protector forum section...

As you can see another good day for the VEATS and their friends a really bad day for our enemies. Where is it written that these goody two shoe heroes were able to lie and con hard working villains ? Apex, and Tin Mage both promised us we would be able to pick up loot. We couldn't find so much as a bank to knock over in Praetoria and King's Row was a wasteland, well I guess that's what paragon city calls urban renewal.
Well we have been approached by Roderick Mueller for our next outing, lets hope this one is profitable or he may find a spiderbot in his bed. -
Happy birthday

Terror and Mayhem Struck Paragon City Last Saturday
Yes indeed the Veats and friends spared no part of the city as they spread terror destruction throughout the city. Atlas Park, Kings Row, Skyway City, Steel Canyon, Independence Port and Peregrinne Island all felt the fearsome power of Arachnos.* People in the city were heard to wail, why won't Statesman get off his boat ?, Can't Synapse the fastest man alive move ? Who needs a statue of Ms. Liberty the one we have by city hall won't do anything at all ?
Hopefully now that the Red Widow is back, the people will accept Lord Recluce as mayor for life and the Red Widow as his first lady.
It's rumored that the veats will be making further demonstrations of their unstoppable power in paragon city this weekend and will follow up by repelling the Praetorians from our dimension a feat the so called "Heroes" have proven incompetent at.
*Is anyone interested in buying parking meters by the gross ? -
These things ? -
Just want to say thanks to Fulmens. Got my rolls quick and painlessly.

This Saturday's Veat madness will be a changeup. The activity is going to be MAYHEM, specifically all the Mayhem missions. This will allow everyone that needs it to get invader, and the destruction badges.
Because these can be painful to get the event will be open to to anyone that wants to join.
