Quote:But using Alabating Strike for the Empower Combo, will generally have you waitng to use it for the Attack Vitals Combo. Unless you miss on the Nimble Slash.Originally Posted by Celestial_Lord
General PvE and task forces is what I'm going for.
I know Sweep is supposedly better than Empower, but going with Empower instead was the best way I could think of to incorporate Blinding Feint without either ditching Hasten or Weave. I want to keep One Thousand Cuts, just because I really like the power animation.
NS -> AS -> BF -> 1k Cuts -> AS -> VS -> SS -> repeat
...works to keep the two combo's going I guess. As 1k Cuts has such a long animation.
Still, I'd likely do something different. Maybe get rid of Focused Accuracy, as you have Blinding Feint for +ACC. And FA is a huge END drain...though admittedly nice to have for STF. -
Quote:Yeah, stacking different forms of mitigation is best, but maybe I just didn't notice the +Regen helping the survival of my /SRs.Originally Posted by Umbral
Actually, it will. Since */SR is completely devoted to damage mitigation, any source of damage recovery is going to provide a large increase in survivability. That's one of the big reasons why you see so much heavy enhancing of Health in most top end */SR builds.
Personally, the way I'd do it:
Health: Regen Tissue +Regen, Numina Heal, Numina Heal/End
Stamina: Perf Shifter Proc, Perf Shifter End Mod, Level 50 Common End Mod
Perf Shifter: Perf Shifter Proc, Perf Shifter End Mod, Level 50 Common End Mod, Numina +Regen/+Recov, Miracle +Recov
Of course, it's done that way mainly to maximize endurance sustainability with the fewest slots possible. With such slotting, Phys Perfection is actually giving you more +recov than Stamina and Health is giving you a healthy 122% +regen. If you had the extra slot, I'd drop a Numina's Heal/Rech into it so that you'd get a tad bit more +regen (138%) and more +hp. Anything over that is going to be wasting enhancement values. There really isn't a point, as far as I can see, of putting more than 3-4 slots into a single attribute power.
Hits that broke through the Defense on a constant basis, just seemed to out do the regen as well.
When the defense stood, regen didn't seem to matter as much. Of course, my DB/SR had Aid Self, and my DM/SR had Siphon Life. -
What exactly are you going for? General PvE? AV Soloing? TFs?
In terms of power selections, I'd have taken Power Slice instead of Nimble Slash. Empower isn't that great of a combo.
Going for Attack Vitals and Sweep is better.
Though on my DB/WP I went with just Attack Vitals.
I ask all this, most because I before I'd help with the slotting, I'd just like to know if there's a reason for these power picks? Or can we put some changes into it. -

...okay deciding on a stalker build for PvP. I have other toons I'm working on that I plan to PvP with, but trying to decide on the way to go for a Stalker.
For Primary I'm thinking of either EM or ELM.
For Secondary I'm thinking of either WP or REGEN.
However for Epic, I don't know...should I go with Hibernate (when I plan to get Phase Shift) or is Shadow Meld good for PvP? -
Quote:Personally, if I wasn't going to slot Health with the +RECOVERY uniques, I'd just keep it 1 slotted with 1 HEAL IO, in it.Originally Posted by Happy_Cat
I'm working on a MA/SR build, and I've checked a couple of threads already (builds, guides, etc.), but I see a lot of different slotting for Health, Stamina and Physical Perfection.
I was wondering what is considered the best slotting for those three powers, assuming I'm not necessarely interested in set bonuses, and that I'd like to get the most recovery and regen possible.
It'd be great if I could get high-end (expensive) slotting ideas, as well as optimum slotting with cheap sets. I've seen a lot of people put 5 slots in Health, and 4 in Stamina. Health having a mix of Numina, Miracle and Regen. Tissue, and Stamina having 4 from Performance Shifter. I've also seen 6 slots in both, with full sets as opposed to mixed. Also, I haven't seen much slots devoted to Physical Perfection and I was wondering if there was a specific reason behind this. Slotting suggestion for that one would be appreciated as well.
As an aside, I have a similar question for the defensive toggles (focused fighting, etc.): 4 slots, or 5? I've seen both.
I'd really like to be able to aim for something, and get the slotting "right" without needing multiple respec's.
Thank you!
On a /SR anyways. The Regen from it won't make that big of a difference.
Now, if I have slots left over, then okay, I might put one or two more slots in it. But I doubt Id have the slots left over. -
Quote:I don't recall RoTP's wing animation looking like the Angelic wings of Renewal of Light.Originally Posted by Fusion_7
So I know the Winter Event is slowly coming to a close this year. In doing so, I will miss the self-rez power that I picked-up called Renewal of Light. What I really loved about this power was the effects that happen. You rise up with angle wings, it blasts all nearby foes back and, I am not so sure it will plant an ice patch below you as I did this last night and got a giant ice patch after my rez. Not sure if one of my teammates thew that down just as I was rezing? Heck, if it was my teammates ice patch, why not add that in in addition to the knockback you get after rezing? I will also say make it give you "full" health instead of half of your hit points and endurance. That way you can go back into battle at full-bore. What do you guys think?
And I agree. I love the effect of it. It should be given as an option to all Ice Sets, if not a new set that could possibly use it.
RotP is great too though Don't get me wrong.

No matter where I go in relation to City of Heroes/Villains, I see everyone that starts a comment about Pocket D, whether good or not, gets a response of some kind about how Pocket D is a festering filth hole that is nothing but sex, drugs and violence. Now, I go to the D frequently as my characters. Either to people watch or to actively RP myself, and I have NEVER seen this open sex people claim, ever, not even a mistell (Though I have in other zones). I have seen only two instances of people peddling/receiving/using illegal substances (And one of them was with my own character) and I have seen a few amount of violence (Which I do disagree with, what with the blatant pop up that says there's no fighting).
But, Despite my own anecdotal evidence, I keep hearing people say these things happen, frequently, like several times a day. I play randomly, and even more random when I go to the D, from the morning, afternoon, night, late night, I go at all times over the week, so it's not me just playing off hours or some nonsense like this. But It just gets on my nerves, especially when there's a new RPer and the first suggestion is to 'never go to the D', overall shrinking the pool for those who do RP there, and giving it a reputation, I believe, that is ill deserved.
What I really want to know is, what experiences do you all, as people of virtue, have there to give it such a bad reputation, or is this just a running joke I saw too much and got tired of seeing?
With Love,
Me! <3
I wouldn't say it's an always on going thing. I've been to the D, and seen none of the things mentioned going on.
But having gone to the D, and seen it happen on more than one occaission (and seen the accidenal MT from team chat)...the D would have to do alot of cleaning up imo, to be seen as a family friendly place.
I've also seen bar room fights on a few occaissions. In cannon, that just shouldn't happen. But from an RP perspective...well...The D is the only bar heroes and villains can hang out...so I see why people go there for it. -
I noticed it the other day on my main (DB/WP).
I just recently started playing with a stats window...and noticed a few times the +REGEN jumping to huge amounts, for like a second.
Doesn't really happen enough or that long to be a big concern imo. -
And it still gives a bigger heal for when up against 1 target

Quote:You sir, are lucky. :POriginally Posted by Santorican
Because that never happens with my spines/dark lol.
I've missed all targets a few times, with multiple yellows clicked (before you could combine inspirations, I clicked through them so Id have a spot for blues) and Focused Accuracy going...and miss all 8 targets. *sigh* How that would make me cry. -
Why not replace the Doctored Wounds END/RCH in Dark Regeneration with a HEAL/END HO?
You lose 1.3 second of recharge time.
But maintain the same END cost, but get a much better heal for when up against 1 target. Or those sad times you hit one target when surrounded by many. -

Quote:Actually, it can become a habit with some people. Just because it hasn't with you, doesn't mean it can't for others.Originally Posted by MondoCool
I completely 100% agree with this. If it is established that a certain method of communication is OOC by the majority of the users, it shouldn't be necessary to put OOC tags around your posts. The "LOL IT'S A HABIT LOL I CAN'T HELP IT" argument is invalid because it's not a habit, that person is just using that excuse to act like a jerk. I've been roleplaying ever since they still had user chatrooms on Yahoo Chat and I've never once fallen to such a habit.
The game is rated T for the content that already exists within the game. The online content and things people can say or do is impossible to be rated by the ESRB, or else every single multiplayer game would have an AO rating. The ESRB deliberately does not rate online content, and all online content is entirely up to the people who are running the service to decide.
And some people actually use Tells ICly (cellphone, telepathy, comm, whatever)...while others say that their tells are always OOC.
I know I have a habit of double typing paraenthesis when I just mean to use one (like above), if I'm not paying attention, as it just became reflex to double it up.
Now usually in posts, I'll catch it, and go and take one out. But in game, I'll hit iit just out of reflex when not talking ICly.
Mind you, if I'm in an all non RP PuG team for example, I'll use it, and then forgo it, and start using it again out of habit.
Either way...you're telling me those who don't RP find it that bad?
That's as bad as the RPers who complain about RPers who don't use them, and switch between IC and OOC and they can't notice. :P
Which, I havent had a problem with, but some do...but then, my immersion in RP isn't broken by OOC chat, like it is for others who see it. For me, OOC talk is normal with RP, as I started with PnP RPing with friends...and I've never been in a tabletop RP that didn't have OOC chat going on, while RPing. -
But...the Cabal Witch Hat is ugly.
I'd rather see it get improved (ie...have some sort of hair added to it) before it went over to redside. -
I'm hoping for a Ranged/Defense Set AT to be released with GR! *crossesfingers*

Quote:Throw in a sexy warrior nun outfit, and I'll love itOriginally Posted by Leo_G
I'm guessing a religious themed pack wouldn't be received well? Sure, you can have the angel and demon angle but perhaps priest costume pieces, cross chest/cape symbols, shinto kami symbol, shinto tengu masks, shakujo staff customization for Nem Staff/Magic Wand, buddist necklace costume piece, Guanyin multi-arm back piece costume piece, etc. etc. with several other religions.
Personally, I think it'd be a great addition and, if it didn't focus on one religion, wouldn't be so harshly received by the masses.

It's the end of monday, still no Going Rogue info, and that makes me a sad panda.
I'm fairly sure I remember from Herocon the Devs said GR would be going into beta January 2010.
Does anyone else remember this? I don't trust my memory with something I like this much, it plays tricks on me. I know even if they did say that it could be subject to change, but I'd really like to see some beta this month. Or even today, or this very second....

2) if the (blasterA) is forced out of the supergroup is everything lost that the (blasterA) has stored saved etc....
3) I ask because my (blasterA) has a bin of purples a bin of pvp ios a bin of reg ios, as well as 5 bins of large insp and multiple bins of orange salvage. So if i were to choose to go badge on him as he is my badger at 672 do i forfeit all the loot i saved as well as his 10 million prestige. Or is there a mechanism for me to keep all that as well as being able to go to the rouge isles
I also know that not enough info is avail as of yet but i havent heard anyone or read anyone asking this. I think this will need to be adressed for long time players and sg leaders as the will be affected.
Thank you for reading this good day...
Personally, I hope you have to lose access to the SG/VG your a member of, when you fall/redeem.
Mostly, so people have to actually have to make a choice on if they switch, and not go..."I want all the badges" go get all the badges then go back. :P -
Actually...I'm pretty happy with how it is now.
Yeah...it's the suckie in PvP. But, sometimes some sets are going to be better in PvP while others are better in PvE. -

I have a hard time with AVs and I need to fight them a lot if I want to beat them and it is mostly luck if I do beat them.

Quote:Wouldn't Angel/Demon fall more inline with natural origin? That said, we just had the natural booster as well.Originally Posted by Solicio
City of Heroes/Villains definitely helped me out when I got back from Afghanistan. I hear you there, and welcome back.
I would like that ability too, but since we already have angel and demon wings tied to veteran rewards, I doubt they'd make an entire booster pack just to give those wings an added animation. Most of the booster packs so far have tended to revolve around origins (magic, science, etc), and since we've already had one for magic, getting another one is unlikely. I like the animation option, though, and I wish Sexy Jay would consider it as an emote or something like that.
My suggestion, get the Valkyrie pack if you dont have the vet reward. They're better (imo) anyways.
