I think defiance is pants, when you start using damage SOs and actually do stand around long enough to hit defiance it hardly gives you any damage boost what so ever. I remember testing it when i was lvl35-40 when it was introduced and i think i went up a total of 1dmg point lol. Its great if your lower in levels and not at the SO stange yet but it could be improved for the higher lvl blasters out there. Was a great idea, pitty its of no use

[/ QUOTE ]not entirely true, i can feel the difference when mopping up +2 minions with deefiance, its more like i was in i5.

Side Note : What do people think of the idea of Defiance being changed so that, once you run out of Endurance, you can keep blasting, but this time it takes off Health instead of End?

[/ QUOTE ]

Grand idea. However, I see no indication whatsoever that the devs are considering a change to Defiance. The bottom line is that Blasters still do more damage than anyone, which the Devs constantly seem to regret, and the real special power we got was the slight Hp increase over Controllers and Defenders.

If Blasters are to get a real special power, even a substandard one like Scourge, I am afraid we will first have to lose damage.

[/ QUOTE ]as kronos says starfox, blasters are far from the DD that they are sposed to be, and u cant use the range argument, we know it it never really saves u, hence we go to melee to do damage and become a scrapper or brute with no defences.

for the most part defiance works fine for me, solo mainly, in teams i can use it if theres no empath, but most empaths who know me are in ubah heal pligbht0r mode, as i take so much flack in teams (i tank wooo). i can happily solo +2 or +3 carnies and not even use aid self for several mobs, sometimes i even hate the base hp regen i hae without any fitness pool. i do however agree with 2 things.

defiance wears off too fast, it should havea relatively high decay too allow residual effects, this would mean u couldnt dive bomb then heal and hit 500% consistently, but would be able to reap the benfits for a few seconds after crashing to red then popping a heal, obviously i wont go into things that are hard to code like 'if healed by power X dont retain defiance'.

accuracy, as many have said, becomes an issue when defying. with 2 acc in most of my attacks i dont expect to miss someone with base def at a mere +2 lvls, ESPECIALLY if i have aim or BU on, this happens regularly imo and isnt really right, i dont think its the streakbreaker code, i think acc is just rubbash in some cases. defiance should bring some kind of acc bonus i'd hope, to ensure that we can do what we are meant to do with the inherent, vs other AT inherents, troller dont have to attack/hold if they dont want, brutes can choose to rest etc, blasters cant really choose when they are getting cravings for concrete, and when theydo, they should be accurate. i acknowledge here that with ED its easy to say 'slot more acc', i already did that, and ED was supposed to diversify, not just rebalance slotting only acc and dmg (i.e. slot drain, endred, KB etc).

another argument i used to dismiss but wouldnt mind seeing (mainly cos scrappers and stalkers and brutes are still far better at dmg in some cases than blasters), would be more base dmg and/or a higher set of hp thresholds for defiance. reason i dismissed this originally was a combo of ED (kinda irrelevent with [censored] and fury ignore dmg constraints through enhs more than the glass canon inherets) and the fact that this would really set blasters as the highest DDs available without question and also i dismissed the too low a threshold argument as it is relatively higher due to the 20% hp increase of i4 (works out the threshold is about 50% of i3 hp).

anyways, defiance seems to not cut it for many, i get on with it ok, bu if blasters are solely supoosed to be DDs then lets sort it eh? they have no mez prot (fair enough), and the control has been nerfed (holds across the board and end drain), so lets compensate with that dmg that we ont have, and im talking about 1 shotting white minions without res with melee attacks without buffing! RAWR.

/e EXCITED! heh

i'm recording a lot atm nd doing a load of studio stuff for the band so cant really get on, and when im not there my kaptop is and i kinda have this scarf to knit (dont ask), its more thanhalf done though, bonus. cd is coming well and i should be back online pwnagifyingz by the end of the week.

any probs, PM or email me, hope all is well there in the rogue isles ans paragon.

Plight

i d have to agree with the greek, if we ignore this (with /ignore, or tab edits) then we can miss out on important stuff, it may be ok short term, but means any new incoming players may be put off, and thats not good for the nicer majority of the community is it really.

i think when i get back on more regularly after this recording, i will unignore everyone who plays up, and lay some plight chat channel smack down again if you lot dont mind that is.

and, afaik the GMs should be able to ban ppl from senbding to certain channels, if they cant it may well be worth them having it patched into their accounts/clients so that 'spammers' can use broad and request etc but not arena.

teh win, soon to be on CD

i agree with 2 points here

1) i hate that even though i have finally used ignore, i have to put up with everyone else telling hm to shut up/argue with him, i think we are beyond the point where asking him to be quiet and not spam isnt going to work, accept the ignore thing, if u want to see both sides of the convo, dont get drawn into it as it just means ppl who are ur friends but want to ignore said persons presence are irritated.

2) support dont ban people, lokk back to the days of crowned killer, he's left now afaik, we got on ok once i made the efort to be nice, but he told me he had hundresds of ppl say they petitioned him for griefing etc, now regardless of whether i got on wit hhim, if some1 petitioned me 100 times for conduct i would expect to be at elast suspended. my mate was suspended twice for far less by the US support, EU really dont seem interested and i hate to say that, maybe ifthey had to speak to some of these ppl in real time they would get it. Bridger and Rockjaw, maybe u could have a look at some of the petitions or how they are dealth with in terms oft he NCSoft standards/board opinions/ur own opinions as experienced gamers etc. tbh seein ppl older than myself get dragged into arguments with 12-18 year old morons is pretty wrong, u wouldnt do it in the street would u, and if those ppl persisted in spitting at u or whatever it is they get up to now, they would be spoken to be police/parents(if they cared), whereas here ppl just leave it to brew and the almighty petition is worthless it seems .

hey again another new one

/e wave

Plight

what weasel said, i was talking ot him, finn's for the win (look at my avatar )

i agree to some extent weasel, my ice dom and many other toons are not min maxed and i dont really dare mnin max the hell out of em or i will never be able to play them any otther way, whereas plight is m in maxed very heavily, and for it has huge holes in what he can do, but is really good at what he does IMO, i cant actually respec his powers about on test into something i like, and i only have recall, tp, aid self/other, provoke, intimidate, hasten, shocking bolt and charged armour pools (sounds a lot but its really not i have most of my elec powers), adding in things like voltaic sentinel would make me happy, and also lightning clap, but this would kill the pvp side of him as he would lose presence. I want to drop hasten but running a build without hasten, with 2 extra slotted blasts and recreds in mosst attacks i cant do what i can in an almost i5 build. simle fact is that aim, bu 3x melee is far better dps than the puny dmg of 3 dmg SOs in ranged blasts, shame really.

Indeed there are alternative ways of dealing with stalkers. But if you do happen to get rooted and then jumped, if the toggle hasn't dropped and ur defiance bar goes up, the numbers can fairly fly.
Also as power-sink would be unavailable if you are pvp'ing bloody bay, the 3 end redx are kinda handy.
I really like the electric secondaries. Haven't got to lightning clap yet. Is is worth taking?

[/ QUOTE ]LC isnt the best power ever, but it is a stun, and the only other stun elec gets (discounting EMP in the EPP) is thunder strike, LC is a far faster way to mez more foes.

+ points: very high chance to KB as high as boss ranks, ok chance to stun (up to lts but only about 50% to stun from what ive tested), low end cost, good weapon to escpae with in pve and sometimes pvp.

- points: does no damage, not guaranteed stun, elec control powers (i.e. 2 melee sleeps, 1 melee stun/AoE, 1 melee hold, 1 PBAoE dmg/drain, 1 PBAoE drain/siphon end, 1 PBAoE toggle drain/dmg) are all pretty much melee or PBAoE (Point Blank Area of Affect cos some1 new will read this at some point), so the whole concept of KB and especially AoE KB is inconsistent with how elec works.

demos can be arranged on test.

Plight

please not he is also a drummer, certain pools u need to cpoe with this out of game tertiary set.

u may wish to take hasten, aim and build up in this build

Plight

P.S. dont forget either charged bolts or lightning bolt AND get electric fence.

clicky clicky

indeed the quest is endless, our lot have been together ranging from march time right up to new recruits, heroes aplenty and villans from 1-50, find any of the SG in our global channel "OotCS" (/chanjoin ootcs to join), this should get u in touch with us. base is raid ready and all that malarky, and pvp happens more often for some than others, teams are going pretty much all day long in some way shape or form.

The next thing we could really use for the base is the Spirit Signal / Auto Doc resurrector upgrade, so anyone with healing powers please have SG mode on...

Update for you SG people, tonight there is an event on, CLICKY, i'd like the villains to attend if possible, I will be there from 5:30, but have to leave about 7-8 pm ish, but i should be good. So see you ther.

Thanks dreamer for sorting out the base, but let me help next time eh , i've not seen it yet .

If your on defiant i'd love to catch up, we have several US transferees, and a strong villain group (heroes are still there tho ). can help with general blastery stuff, but dont really have time right now.

P.S. Click

Plight (the original and the copy on EU), is about 25 i guess, even though lossely based on *cough* he had the ability to control electricity from early puberty and this was learned through intense emotion as you would expect with this typeof mutant. I guess he couuld be younger but i like to equate over 2700 hours of Plight Trawler to several years as a hero full time.

Plight Bringer and War Trawler (to a lesser extent), are essentially projections of what plight becomes as he becomes a kheldian, his life changed dramatically when he attained SL 50, he got married to DreamWeaver and everything to celebrate. The Peace Bringer form is a more true continuation of him, but i would say that the PB toon represents Plight about 5 years later than the original. War Trawler is very underdeveloped, he essentially is similar to the PB but will turn out darker, almost like an alternate event etc.

Ember's MemoryI guess is late 20s, she is both a dedication to Plasmatron's alt and Plas herself.

Blinded has a story but its not good enough to put here yet, basically he has been hezvily mutilated and has a lot of tech built into him.

there are others on US but none of ya know them

Plight

come on and ask for the sg by name on arena, or look for me, or any of the regulars from this thread. Global channel OotCS is now up for SG and affiliates to talk, all members are Ops, all non members aren't but the channel is open.

PMing me is best atm as i have loads of work on with recording with the band next week.

looking like monday nights at 9pm is best for SG things
