Quote:I'd relevel my main if that was made possible! Even if it was limited to 3-5 builds. Link them?! I don't know if it needs linked between alts, or if that just means what I think...1 character, multiple builds.Originally Posted by Leo_G
What made my favorite character possible?...I don't have a favorite character. All my characters are awesome with a style they call theirs...but what made my main possible?
Animal Booster Pack: Finally could make my white tiger form.
Titan Weapons: While my main is in 'full were-tiger' form, he's bigger and uses a bigger sword (vs his human form with katana). His counterpart, a Stalker, should be using a scythe though but the devs were ***es and didn't let Stalkers have that...so kinda half on this one.
For whatever reason I bump into you, Sapph, I end up wanting to give you a high five...so...
/high five
I posted about that idea a couple of times. link.
But yeah, I totally want that. Since my main specializes in blades, he'd use ever sword set (sans Broadsword until it got better animations) and minor in Martial Arts (lvl locked at 30). My stalker already has multiple versions of him (claws/dark and spines/dark Stalker, dark/thorns dom and needs TW for Stalker) plus around 4 other characters have at least 2 versions of them....yeah, I'd need that to be able to *fully* realize my characters.
Could put a limit on when it can be switched out too and I wouldn't care. On a TF or Trial? Nope! When a mission is selected? Nope! Can even throw in a 15 minute build swap restriction!
Dual Blades/Something
Staff Fighting/Something
Dual Pistols/Time Manip
StJ/Something
and something else!
It'd also make names so much easier. 5 builds one name! ^_^ It's good for RPers, it's good for non RPers! -
Hmmm...never thought about it untill now, but does Interface work with Judgement to give Vorpal the confuse?

Well heard from a GM, nothing they can do, so they sent it up the ladder!

If it was rolled back that far, check to see if it's back in your email.
Had 5, used 1, it's gone. Sent petition, no word yet.

And I lost the xp gained from it too!

My less than 10minutes into the hour XP Booster was lost due to the downtime!

You know...all this down time...should release Staff Fighting for an hour tonight as a special treat to all. ^_^

I imagine lots of "Why no Staff Fighting?!" questions

Quote:Well natural doesn't mean human. Superman would be natural, as it's in his alien dna to have those powers when in the presence of a yellow sun.Originally Posted by Mod_Noc
I just forgot to add Body Mastery. I know Kheldian's and Widows are natural, but it just does not seem to be natural to have Psi abilities or shoot bolts of energy. If widows just stick to the claws attack then I dont see a proble with it.
But I get that you mean natural humans
As for psi abilities, I think that comes more down to personal interpretation of natural. But like you I always think of different origins than human, when it comes to such abilities, but Ive seen others say it works for natural humans. -
I was in the middle of a DFB and now Im seeing "Map Unknown" as to all myc characters locations.

Disappointed to hear no Staff Fighting for DXP. I'll live though. Personally I like the sounds Better than the original sounds imo, even if it wasn't what I had thought up in my head when they said "new sounds for Staff Fighting" in the beta patch.
As for Beast Mastery, was never going to buy it anyways. Sorry, but MM's just aren't my AT of choice, no matter how powerful and cool the concept seems, the playstyle doesn't suit me at all.
I'm sure I'll take advantage of DXP somehow though

Quote:I'd have to do some seruious rechecking as I can't find where I left my notes on the chains, or maybe I just forgot to save them.Originally Posted by Microcosm
Assuming I calculated average -res correctly, I'm pretty sure. Feel free to check me and we can compare. Most of those chains should be quite close to each other though.
However, doing a quick check, PS's DPS advantage doesn't seem to be that far ahead of MB of PS, that putting MB to use with a -Resist Proc might turn out to be better, than PS with a damage proc (assuming the rest of their slotting is equal).
That all said, still going with PS over MB as while MB had multiple animations, I wasn't impressed with any of them compared to PS's animation.

Quote:Build Up never wastes DPS. Never. Yes it's using animation time instead of direct damage, but it's buffing damage of all the attacks after it and giving enough of a bonus to damage that it's never wasted.Originally Posted by Motley_Cruel
Does that chain really provide the best DPS? I figure Build Up wastes a lot of dps with its animation time? Wouldn't maybe
AS-CS-SB-BU-BB-SB
be better?
For Stalkers, that's an 80% buff to damage for 10 seconds for 1.32 seconds of animation time.
I really have no idea where the idea of BU lowering DPS came from. -
My double xp plans include hoping Staff Fighting gets released tomorrow or as a one day sale then removed untill a later date! AND THEN LEVELING IT!
Also plan to continue getting xp on my Dark/Time Troller and reroll one of my alts and get xp on that one as well! -
Quote:Basically this!Originally Posted by Sapphic_Neko
My favorite changes usually with new powersets.
First it was dual blades powerset
Then dual pistols.
then shields.
then street justice.
then titan weapons.
What would make my favorite char perfect would be the ability to change between those powersets seamlessly. Like mergin those five characters into one, swapping fightingstyles on the fly. That would be mega awesome.
MA, StJ, Dual Blades, Claws, ect ect. I wish we had a way to seemlessly switch between powersets especially fighting styles.
BrandX was created in the early 90's, and CoH has let me slowly get her to closer to what I imagined Of course there's been changes to her from the original (for various reasons), but the spirit is still there!
Dual Blades is what originally had me make her in CoH. Dual Pistols wasn't available yet (and at the time was still a dream) and I just like the idea of dual wielding. But she was always suppossed to be a combat/weapon specialist type so switching her out between sets was never a problem (Dual Blades, various hand to hand sets, Dual Pistols, Claws, Katana, Titan Weapons...I've rerolled into them all. Sadly AR and Archery have only ever made it to 35ish and deleted because I find those two sets boring animation wise :/)
Loving Staff Fighting tho, as it just seems a bit less lethal (and I'm perfectly willing to not go with the idea of using guns means killing your target) in that it's blunt force trauma.
Of course game play mechanics always seem to get in the way of fully realizing her in game, even if I stuck to one weapon model.
Still waiting for that Positional Defense (Typed defense tends to mean deflect versus dodge, but I handwave this now just to come closer to what I want)/Regen/Ssmashing (no lethal) & Psi resist set to really get the concept down!
That however will likely never happen.
Still, love the fact that I get to bring her more to life than I could have before

Quote:Are you sure on those?Originally Posted by Microcosm
You also have to calculate the chances of those three attacks giving assassins focus and average out the critical damage. Anyway, for staff with -res procs it seems to be:
MB-PS-AS-SS
These are not much lower:
PS-GS-AS-SS
SR-PS-AS-SS
SR-MB-AS-SS
MB-GS-AS-SS
This one is significantly lower:
PS-SR-AS-SS
Mercuial Blow last I checked did less DPS than Precision Strike and Serpent's Reach had better DPS and is more likely to stack Assassin Focus.
If memory serves (and it could be wrong) I could swear MB only came off as being good for Tankers who can slot the -Resist Proc AND it comes with Bruising for additional -Resist. -

In "Pretender to the Throne", when my crab spider Cale Baumann beat down Kalinda for answers, he wouldn't have let her off so lightly. Oh hell no - she played him, Cale doesn't let stuff like that go.
After her admission that Recluse wanted to see how far Cale would go with the "Destined One" thing, he would demonstrate how far by disabling Kalinda's mediporter signal, then taking this already-battered Fortunata and beating her into a permanently crippled state before walking away. Any further villainy on Kalinda's part would be conducted from a wheelchair, if she survived. -
Quote:Now see, you already had one, so why use it, if you didn't need to, just to get a new one in the cache?Originally Posted by dave_p
Nothing official, but since release, I think there's only been 2 or 3 issues w/no freespec. It was almost an unwritten rule that we'd get one w/each issue, to the point that I went around and burned any freespecs I had cached because I didn't want to "waste" one, just like I've done for the last half-dozen (at least) issues. But now that they're for sale, I don't expect any more freebies. Guess I'll burn a vet respec to slot in my ATOs and spec in those improved self-rezzes for my Regen & WP toons.

Had to check and see if all the various artwork was on here or not
So, who's new/interesting/up and coming as far as artists? Any recommendations? -
Love the look of the seer!

Is this correct?
Call to Arms at level 30 and boosted x5, gives better enhancement values than level 50 Expediant Reinforcement? -
Quote:I think part of it is, there are people under the impression that Spines is totally lackluster in ST (it's not...but it is late blooming) or know better and want it buffed for more, so say it's lackluster.Originally Posted by Leo_G
What debuffs do TW have? A menial ST -def/-res? I don't think it compares to spines debuffs. Spines is also capable of immobilizing bosses where TW is lucky to keep a boss stunned for a few seconds (but that may be more the nature of stuns).
If Spines gets looked at, it most likely will have much of it's debuffs cut in the process, most likely the -rech and minor immobilize. The -movement would be limited to certain powers (like Impale, Spine Burst and Throw Spines) with the only secondary effect that's universal would be the Toxic DoT. IMO, that's fair.
But I'm rather tired of hearing all these calls for buffs but they don't want to give anything up (or heck, even acknowledge they're asking for a lot). They're more engaged in finding justification for their wants instead. Just because you think you deserve something doesn't mean you do.
I however wouldnt mind an animation change to Barb Swipe.
