What gap? o.O

Those who say 228 is bad I think are looking for every new set to move into the top 5 position.

I do! But just enough that when built for it, I can solo AVs! But then, I like how that makes the toon feel to be on par with solo title comic book heroes.

Resistance Wardens would be akin to superheroes in Primal.

So, you're basically saying the same thing as GG but in reverse.

Loyalists were oppressing people to keep them safe. That doesn't make them heroes. It doesn't even make them right, except of course, in their own mind.

But then one could say that the wardens breaking the laws (though they didnt kill) trying to bring a government down.

Which reminds me of a quote that I'm sure Im butchering (and forgot who said it, so cant find it) "Try to change the government and win, you're heroes and patriots. Try to change the government and fail, you're criminals and terrorists."

Now I know I screwed it up, but it's close enough.

Only time will tell, and right now it looks like the Wardens are winning...people know they've been lied to and oppressed. They know their government is willing to kill them if they think it's for the good of the people. Loyalist to that type of government usually isn't seen as the heroes.

So, GG has a point. Don't like the methods of various Resistance? Makes sense. Some of the crusaders are in fact in it just for the violence (like some of the loyalists are in it for the power).

But they all find out Cole and his praetors are lying, power hungry, and oppressing the people. To stay with that gets one looked at as a villain.

taking down the AV is only part of the fun, gotta look good while you do it too.

That's the one problem with commissions, the artist never see's your character exactly how you do.

But I love Avionetca's style, so I let that slide

While it may be solid damage, Dark Blast added into the chain is still lower than Smite - Midnight Grasp - Smite - Siphon Life, correct?

Or is Dark Blast better than I've thought?

So the question is, how much more damage does the Scrapper SF user do compared to Brute SF user (if they do at all, but I'm inclined to think Scrappers will generally make out with higher DPS than Brutes when it comes to Staff).

the problem with that, would be that JB is hitting the Tanker Damage Cap solo already. Giving additional +DMG solo wouldn't help him.

They increased the Stalker HP cap because there were sets with +HP bonuses that werent being used, due to hitting the HP cap with Accolades and Set Bonuses (or you could look at it as not using Set Bonuses).

It was basically the change that helped Regen, IA, and WP. The increased HP cap didn't really do much for the other Stalker secondaries. I believe my NIN Stalker got a whole additional 10 HP

And yes, there is the Cold Domination users who can increase everyone's HPs, but that's one class out of many support classes that can do that.

And I've agreed with some of the things you've said.

Increase that Damage Cap on Tankers. Lower the resists on Brutes.

The one change helps the outlier cases of reaching the damage cap on their own (being teamed with a KIN should not be a factor) without actually upping a Tankers damage (except now people can go "I'll build for +DMG") and it puts Tankers at the level of more survival (higher HP and higher Resist values).

That wouldnt be an AT issue though. That would be a powerset issue.

But this is the Scrapper forums

I don't know. Im sure in the EULA it says they can do as such. Buuut, it was something I mentioned in beta for Freedom.

Have to get the paid for powersets right the first time. There are going to be people who buy the sets based on performance as the number one thing (look at the complaints about SF already, with people going "It's average in damage, so meh") and getting that performance taken down later will feel like they were had..."We'll give them something extremely powerful to make them want to buy it, then nerf it later so it doesn't get unbalanced"

Paid for sets need serious testing to make sure they're right in line were the devs want them, and best not to make them two weak either or people won't buy them.

Don't know if it's countered. Loyalists had one plan, that plan got ruined.

Your praetorian took down a close friend who tried to stop something like the TPN and then failed when something similar happened.

Though, yes, kinda suckie, we don't get to try to do differently.

To Sam:

1) It was explained in the UG trial which is before DA content. I'm no so sure Cole putting the Hamidon at a stalemate means Hamidone should of been the Wells Champion tho. Hamidon had to go to outside means to obtain that much power. That itself could put the Well against it.

2) I wonder to why the body count is that high. Seems like a waste to kill off so many powerful NPCS that can be used again as returning villains/allies.

Then again, it's heroes and villains teaming up to take them down, and maybe the devs wanted to throw the villains (and heroes), who wouldnt just arrest them, a win of their own.

3) I really love the alignment setup of Praetoria. Wish it could of been put in through all of CoH and kept all the way through Praetorian content.

\o/ YAY! One thing with suprises like this, is you wonder, "Will they be upset with me?"

Glad you like it
