I think it's to avoid making everyone on the team accept the moral choice made by the leader. -
Quote:Of the raft of 4 new sets I'd go with Elec Control as well.Originally Posted by Mega_Jamie
i'll cast a die for electric control, though I havn't played Kinetic Melee.
Not only is it pretty unique in the chain powers, but its pretty unique as a control set in general. Forcing people to re-evaluate how they play on ATs they may already be pretty comfortable with.
* But for me it plays very like my Ice/Psi domi in terms of little hard control but a decent amount of layered soft control (Ice : Fall-over patch, sporadic confuse and -recharge. Elec: Sleep Patch, sporadic fall-over, End Drain). -

It is imo, if available a MUST. it's an excelent utlity for basically just wading in there and sapping everything.
Oh and it needs noting that this was sapping EBs at level 14 - 17 with just 2 Accuracy DOs in the power. (and the stun proc). My end game plan is to keep the Stun Proc since (although 10%) it fires off enough for me to be happy with it, even at lower acc levels since its got a high tick rate on the -end bit) and to slot Acc/EndMod, Acc/EndMod/Rech from one set and Acc/EndMod from another.
I'll have to wait and see how this runs on AVs, but since i'll be leaving Praet tonight i'll try to run a Sister Psyche or a Synapse and get an idea of how viable sapping will be against those.
My issue with Power Boost (and Domination) with Elec Control is that it won't augment the Sleep Patch or anything beyond the initial target of the chaining Confuse, which irks me. It'll work with Paralysing Blast of course and I do always take and Frankenslot the AOE Holds. -
Nice guide. However personally I've found PROCs in AOE Holds to be a waste of time mostly due to the time they take to recharge. Procs in Fly Trap (Achilles Heel for one) and Creepers will give you a much better overall proc rate.
Best slotting for AOE Holds is as many Acc/Recharge/Hold IOs as possible as soon as possible. It makes the power very useful and lets you get away with just 4 slotting it and still be beating the traditional SO 6 slotting.
Also Embrace of Fire is a absolute must for 3 slotting with Recharge, the damage bonus is provides is pretty immense nowadays.
Oh, and Psi Tornado is Knock-Up, not knockback. This makes it somewhat useful, although a Planty tends to be immobing everything anyway. More useful for a Domi who has immobs with no -knockback in them or one who doesn't use AOE immobs much probably. The Forced Feedback proc also can go in here and it's fairly nice if you've the spare slot.
Ditto with Energy Torrent, it does knockdown, not knockback which makes it far more palatable. Both still pale in comparision to the Fire and Ice APPs though for domis.
And Melt Armour is pretty much poop on a stick thanks to the silly-long recharge, mediocre debuff levels and terrible AOE. -

EB's drained in a few seconds.
Hmmm. If I drop Air Sup and fly and live with SS I can shunt it in... -
Quote:I think it'll still be useful, Elec seems to be about layering various sorts of control on top of one another rather than just firing off an AOE and everything being dealt with for 30 seconds, which I like.Originally Posted by Kelenar
Solo, I use Jolting Chain to open--having the enemies spend time on their butts in waves softens up the alpha pretty well. I'm only at level 7, though, so I'm not sure where it'll sit in my esteem once I have more options.

I can't believe this happened a day after release, surely they knew people were going to buy slots etc... -
Quote:The old school player in me never wants to see a return to those "stand here and do as I say" styles of play Tanks used to have.Originally Posted by Big_Soto
Every team is different and not every team I play with has experience players and the overspill does become more than they can handle. I just had to learn how to pull better when I come across a team like that. It is never a problem with an experienced tanker, but the old school tanker in me wants to just jump in and be the meat shield I used to be.
*shudder*
The phrase "herding to here" still makes me break out in a cold sweat. -
Quote:Is there some reason the rest of the team isn't able to handle the overspill?Originally Posted by Big_Soto
On a serious note, I like the buffs the tanks currently have. I do know we do not want tanks to herd up entire maps like the old days, but I do think they should double the Aggro cap from 16 to 32. I dont want this for farming, but for when 2 mobs are close together and the tanker can handle them both with out fear of the team members dying.

If you are a woman with a crush on Stallone, Statham, Lundgren, Li, or Crews, then YES.
My girlfriend wanted to see it because she has the hots for Stallone. What can I say, she likes italian stallions. She loved the film. -

Quote:Except of course Cloak of Fear and OG also prevent swinging and missing because the enemy is standing there mezzes, which was in fact Nalroks (admittedly open to misreading) point.Originally Posted by kendo
don't believe this is correct. to generate fury, you need to swing or be swung at. doesn't matter if you hit or are hit. except maybe for special situations in PvP or with AVs.
it's why SR is available for brutes and Ice isn't. Ice slowed or stopped mobs from swinging and that has a huge negative impact on fury generation. swinging and missing at a SR brute still allows fury generation -

I thought everyone would be listing weird rules like my hero who draws his power from darkness and thus cannot use anything other than brawl when the sun is up (although he's ok in caves, etc, during the day.)
(that is indeed a weird rule, do you include Travel Powers and the like? What do you do for all those "City Instance" missions?) -
Quote:That's an excellent point alright. It'd be a nightmare!Originally Posted by Soul_Stormer
i'd take the exemplar reduction over having to memorize which slots were placed at what level, especially after slotting IO sets. besides, there is little reduction until exemping lower than lvl 25.

In fact the poor dumb system doesn't even know when each slot was allocated, it never records it. All it knows is "Power X has Y number of slots"
This is why the Exemplar "reduction in Enhancement values" occurs when you exemp and is probably the main reason Respeccing hasn't received a make-over. -
Quote:It's far easier to adjust one single overpowered power without affecting anyone else than it is an edge combo like Fire/Kin.Originally Posted by ColossusUK
I love my SD/SS as much as anyone else here but it was clear Shield Charge needed some tweaking. Tanks aren't expected to be doing the most damage in a team, and anyway, AAO and SC still make SD an awesome powerset.
As much as I can see where your coming from, I just need to say...what on earth are Fire/Kins still doing in the game?! -
Quote:It's useless, because it gives a chance to heal the entity which casts the Sleet debuffs and damage. Which in this case in an invisible pseudopet at the center of the Sleet Patch.Originally Posted by Nny_the_mad
how with the proc act?
will it proc once at the beginning? or for each "tic" ?
It won't do a thing for you. -
Quote:Character Transfer as discussed here is a Server to Server switch. You jump from one server to another, but when you log onto your character on that server you are standing on the same map & location you were when you last logged out.Originally Posted by Lady_Pestilence
So it is possible, or will be when they get it fixed, to transfer toon from Praetoria to Rogue Isles?

Quote:Not to mention that you can pick Spin up at level 6, whereas other Scrapper PBAOEs tend to start from 18 onwards. Plus you tend to always have at least a 30% damage bonus on it thanks to Follow-Up, whereas other sets have a more "spiked" approach since they get Build Up.Originally Posted by Sailboat
It's worth noting that Spin, the PBAoE in the Claws set, is the best melee PBAoE by a wide margin. Fire Sword Circle does a little more damage but recharges more than twice as long -- you can do 2 Spins and have time left over. And Spin is end-efficient.
Scrappers don't get Combustion, Fiery Melee's only other PBAoE. So /Fire Scrappers are basically just spamming Fire Sword Circle for most of their AoE, and they're always cited as having "fantastic" AoE. Since Spin is better, faster, and cheaper by itself...AND the set has other area attacks...it follows that Claws must be a better than fantastic area attack set. -

You want a bad-***? Make a Warshade. Level 22 and 38 are game changers.
If I wasn't having so much fun with an Elec/Ice Domi I'd probably be rolling a Katana/Fire scrapper for doing the new starting content (and I probably will eventually). -

Quite odd though, the Going Rogue expension works on the 'select the account' system, while the 'Going Rogue complete pack' has seperate US and EU links.
The Item Pack isnt working here.
It says (Europe) Item Pack clicky, when i click it and it ask me wich account, it only shows my US account.
Please select the City of Heroes® account you would like to apply this upgrade to.
City of Heroes® / City of Villains®: <account>
However, f i select the Going Rogue Expension clicky, it does show my US and EU account.

Something aint working here.. that is for sure. -
Quote:Erm, no they don't I'm afraid. Most Boosters (including the GR Expansion and Item Pack) have been missing them for a couple of months now. The GR Complete Edition has one though.Originally Posted by Shadowe
Should, perhaps.
Does not, actually.
EU codes can only be used on EU accounts, US codes can only be used on US accounts.
However, it is worth noting that EVERY EU item page on the NC Store seems to have a link that says "US version also available". That link should take you to the US version for purchase.
No idea why they got stripped, it's never been officially explained by any community mod what we're supposed to be doing.
The Store is also playing silly buggers on me again as the us.ncsoft.com domain has become invalid for me again and the cert is coming back as invalid due to it pointing to the wrong Domain Name.
Shambolic mess would be an adequate description of NCSofts store I think. -
Quote:There is a DNS issue EU side for some of their Domain Names. Been happening sporadically for the last week or so.Originally Posted by SinergyX_EU
Strange enough, i still can acces the NCstore from my computer nor any other in my network.
If i go to some direct link to a product, i get a weird (as if CSS is fully missing) page that has the login link, but clicking sends me to a 'cant display page' or again a fully broken page.
I turn on my US proxy, all loads perfectly. On the other hand, maybe the server just having serious loading issues due everyone buying GR (im not).
us.ncsoft.com was/is the offender. Try flushing your cache on your browser and that might fix the issue.
Genius isn't it?
