To those saying the mitigation from /EA beats out /ELA i say no way. the reason being /EA is DEFENSE where as /ELA is RESISTANCE you can't compare apple to oranges people.
[/ QUOTE ]
Hi. You're completely wrong.
Defense and Damage Resistance allow X amount of damage to affect your health bar over Y amount of time.
They are completely comparable. -
[ QUOTE ]
So, basically it's okay to give EA less mitigation to its own Element than other sets because of pool defenses?
No thanks.
I'll say it again, every other elemental set gets capped against its type without help. If Castle thinks that defense is special enough to warrant not doing that, I'll wait for him to say it.
If it is, the we should have the ability to cap our def debuff resistance like SR.
[/ QUOTE ]
... Ya know, I never looked at SR capping defense resistance on its own in that light.
It fits very well. -

A taunt effect on energy drain would be lovely.
[/ QUOTE ]
True, they even gave one to SR which kinda makes no sense.
[/ QUOTE ]
I'm still annoyed by that. I see no reason for brute-sr to get a taunt aura in evasion when scrapper-sr doesn't get it.
A: Thematically it makes no damn sense at all.
B: If we ignore theme, then it makes no sense for one to get it and the other not beyond "well, more people play brutes like tanks than scrappers like tanks."
And that makes no sense to me because I'm the first in regardless of whether I'm playing my scrappers or my brutes. -
Looks like you need to change your location as well, Acemace.
-
Sure. Swap it with energy cloak.
-
I know it won't be pretty... but my new mace/shield in I-13 will at least be STRONG!
-
And, lo, did the macers both past and future unite in one voice;
And, lo, the heavens did shake with thunderous noise;
"GIVE CLOBBER DAMAGE," the masses did scream.
And, yay verily, he that hath power to do so did make the change.
And there was much rejoicing. -

Lighthouse,
Will there be any change to automatic forum titles? Will they be removed? What about personal titles that have broken the automatic progression?
Will post count still be tracked or will it be removed?
[/ QUOTE ]
Everything will remain the same including titles, progression, and post counts.
That is, unless they purposely decide to change it (which they could have done any time while using UBB). But, barring a decision to change policy, the goal is to have the new software pick up exactly where the old left off. That's what all the conversion scripts are programmed to do.
[/ QUOTE ]
That was my assumption, although to be honest, I wouldn't mind them taking this opportunity to nuke post counts. -

You're not supposed to post items from closed beta. Nobody was supposed to know about the new space zone.
Awesome screenies as always, though. -

stamina is a ridiculously broken power as well, if you are talking about it's sheer utility to any power.
[/ QUOTE ]
Horse manure. Stamina isn't anywhere in the same ballpark as aidself when concerning brokenness. Stamina doesn't make anyone unkillable like aid self does.
And no, I was talking about damage mitigation, since we're discussing damage mitigation set comparison. -
A blaster with 4 slotted perf-shifter and some breakfrees can spam aid-self through a whole fight as well.
I am forced to discount any discussion as soon as aid self is brought up.
It is a ridiculously broken power.
I'm fine with comparing EA to SA, ignoring all enhancements and ignoring power pools.
If you're going to add power pools to the mix, you MUST add the same pools to both.
Then you MUST ignore primaries and only deal with X amount of incoming damage by type.
So add tough, weave, aidself, whirlwing, whatever, just make sure that you add to both and then recalculate.
Funny part is, I thought were were going to get your numbers for Granite/EE/Rooted versus EA w/ Overload.
I'm not asking for them now as I don't care. I already know the truth. -
Now that's a warshade.

So, does this mean that there's never going to be a real WM/EA Brute guide? It seems like any attempt would be overrun with ridicule.
[/ QUOTE ]
Let's wait until after I-13. WM/EA might become the new FOTM. -

so about that beta.....

*thoughtfully smokes a pipe*
Hmm ... indeed.

/nods sagely...
Yeeeaaaaaaa... about that...
/begins rabid twitching -
Ya know, you're probably right. The only high level villains I've got are all brutes. For them, I've found the PPP pets to be a waste of a power slot.

[ QUOTE ]
All joking aside - it was said elsewhere that Power Balancing changes wouldn't affect PvE at all.
[/ QUOTE ]
I think either what you read was incorrect or you misunderstood. I'm quite certain the PVE specific changes that were made for I13 will affect PVE, while 95% of the PVP changes have no effect on PVE (I say 95% to hedge my bets, actually.)
[/ QUOTE ]
I am becoming psychic. Although I did not expect widespread changes to APP/PPPs. You're dumping the PPP pets aren't you?
Hurry up with that "soon to be coming" info, will ya?!!?!?!?!?! -
Because it had the pretty energy cloak on. Pretty good stealth there.
-
I built a dm/ea brute last night. It was pretty. But it wasn't strong. So I deleted it.
I'm scared of starting a mace/ea. I don't think I can handle. -

this is a more classic look of a Dr. Doom but I like it

What's he look like these days?
EDIT: And SightlessShadow, very nice stuff. -

Yes, yes, Rocket Packs are on Sexy Jay's todo list, I just am not exactly clear on when they will be done.
