How anyone above grade school can actually read that and not realise its actually listing powers that give reistance to effects I do not know.

Good to know that you STILL dont actually read what you respond to, let alone what you actually quoted.

<edit> to add QR, I know Bill knows this wasn't aimed at him, but just being clear

oh and thanks for the info Bill.

Thanks to Abigail Frost, Dr Robert, Ecliptix, Rodion, Stabby McStabbers and Tormentoso for extra data
30-34 Column represents the raw data of all the drops possible at that rarity

Column A represents the unweighted probability (kept to a higher accuarcy on my sheets obviously)
Column B respresents that observed by my own drops (same caveat)
Column C is the weighting factor seen in the data set.

Dark Regen is Dark Armours Tier 9 power, they just get it early.

[ QUOTE ]

Needless to say, not all ATs have access to these powers. And so yeah, I question the idea that my Blaster is supposed to feel safer because of [for instance] Confuse; a power he or she doesnt even have access to. I have also never seen KB protect me or anyone from a mez or a sleep, but clearly... sheesh. This is ridiculous.


[/ QUOTE ]

Last time I checked, every AT had the capability of taking all of those powers I listed, with the possible exception of Kheldians (Im not sure which power pools get locked out on them, they really are not my cup of tea).

Those are all RESISTANCES, not the powers themselves. Confuse Resistance say is quite limited outside of the AE, but it does have value.

But yes, active mitigation (like KB) reduces incoming attacks significantly and therefore can prevent the mez being fired off in the first place. Taunt resistance is mainly a PvP thing, but placate resistance is very useful versus arachnos mobs.

Something like say darkest night, which effectively floors the enemy to-hit makes the mezzes miss.

Also Aid self is an aggro-magnet ? erm .... no.

[ QUOTE ]

The proposed change would benefit teaming, rather than soloing. One thing that I've been thinking today is that, of the hero-side TFs, Statesman, Lady Grey, Khan, and Imperious can drop purples. None of the others. Villain-side, it's Recluse, Lady Grey, Barracuda, and Imperious.


[/ QUOTE ]

You missed Faathim, Augustine and Sara Moore.

Plus the top level respec each side

[ QUOTE ]

I don't want an entire new pool devoted to Status Protection, what I'd like is mitigation between the two extremes we have now of GODMODE and NONE. This could easily be inserted somewheres within various primary and secondary pools we have now.

But hey, lets take everything out of all pools and just use Inspirations. For the win!


[/ QUOTE ]

I refer the honorable lady to this list posted upthrread
[ QUOTE ]

Sleep resistance (Currently in health)
Stun resistance (Aid Self)
hold Resistance (Acrobatics has protection and resistance)
immob Resistance (Combat jumping has protection, weave has resistance)
Slow Resistance (Not Truly present, but hasten and superspeed mitigate -recharge and -slow)
Confuse and Fear Resistance (Tactics)

and one that is not available from anyone for a self buff from their primary or secondary
taunt/placate resistance (assault)

Vengance has a whole basket of goodness
Protect(Fear, Knockback, Knockup, Repel),
Resist(Fear, Disorient, Sleep, Immobilize, Hold, Confuse, Taunt, Placate)

but that is very situational and of course stimulant is available to anyone with its grab bag of protection grant able to others.

[ QUOTE ]
I can't believe no one pointed out Sappers that fly. That didn't always do that.

One day they just... did. Tab tab tab no sappers, what - what? It was up by the ceiling of course.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sappers not flying ? I recall back when Catwhoorg was in his 40's being bushwhacked with flying sappers on a fedex from Indigo.

Lunch Box indeed has it.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I guess the old comment is true.

People want smarter AI foes, then when they do appear people complain about their difficulty.

[/ QUOTE ]

Giving titans a Toxic hold with DoT is not making them "smarter." There is nothing more intelligent about that, the basic behavior of the NPC is unchanged.

But hey it is all good. If they want Malta to be a group I 110% avoid like the plague - just like how I avoid Knives - its all good. I'll go beat up some Carnies instead.

[/ QUOTE ]

They already HAD the hold, it was just not often used.

Ergo they made them smarter

I guess the old comment is true.

People want smarter AI foes, then when they do appear people complain about their difficulty.

Yes.

They dropped AE Comm officers from LT rewards to minion.

I dont use search here for patch notes ...

Grats to the OP.

There is no 'ruling' possible as there is no officials here.
Inspirations especially for a non-50 are pretty much a given unless the player specifically states otherwise.

Dont forget, every AE building has a inspiration vendor as well.

[ QUOTE ]

A padded map is effectively equivalent to killing larger mobs in a hazard zone. More enemies, no teammates.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes.

The rate is the same. The farmer just eliminates all his competition.

[/ QUOTE ]
If the devs wanted to kill this practice it would be very easy to do, basically you would see how many the map was set for, allocate the drop to one of the people it was set for and if they're not on the map, the drop disappears. The fact that they haven't indicates they're not worried about it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hardly. I submit Psychic Shockwave as an example. They may just not have had time as yet, as that would be a significant recoding.

Just want to point out that prestige is not affected by a team multiplier either.

The Devs have been specific in what teaming boosts, it is not like drops were an oversight.

[ QUOTE ]
OK, new suggestion.

Status Effect RESISTANCE power pool.

Toggles or clicks that reduce the duration of effects.

[/ QUOTE ]

You mean like:
Sleep resistance (Currently in health)
Stun resistance (Aid Self)
hold Resistance (Acrobatics has protection and resistance)
immob Resistance (Combat jumping has protection, weave has resistance)
Slow Resistance (Not Truly present, but hasten and superspeed mitigate -recharge and -slow)
Confuse and Fear Resistance (Tactics)

and one that is not available from anyone for a self buff from their primary or secondary

How about a TV series where someone sits in a bunker and pushes a button. No-one would ever watch THAT would they ?

Even if they spruced it up with like a plane crash or something.

Jayden,

I do hope you took note of the 'not addressed to the OP' comment. Unlike a some recent broadly similar threads, where I could see that it would apply pretty much instantly (incoherent babble and bypassing the board profanity filter), I was just putting my comment out there, as I am want to do.

If you want active group to build a core of a team on Triumph, I can point you in the direction of several very active groups, not necessarily ones I am even in, but would be happy to recommend.

Drop me a PM with some details (level how active, RP focused, interest in PVP etc) if you want a pointer.

My $15/month (well actually only $10.24/month for this year and a bit I love the 12+2 billing offer) enttiles me to a sense of entitlement.

Someone else seems to be using mine though.


and my purple warshade*

*my warshade has zero purple IOs**

** well actually my highets warshade has zero set IOs***

*** welll zero IOs all told****

*** she IS only 12 though, and I am sure her buy orders have come through in the last 90 days or so she has been offline.

Between howling twlight, twilight grasp and Fluffy, an AV's regen will be significantly reduced.

A dark/sonic would be more effective (due to the -res), but there is no reason why a dark/dark cannot put out enough damage to do it.

http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Archvillain_Resistance

shows the scaling table. 85-87% resistance for the level 50+ AVs before applying the purple patch

Excellent analogy there. It pretty obvious that the walking round, however mundane is goign to be more interesting than beign sat in a blank office all day.

But alas, I shall never know. Random user felt the need to file a complaint, but wasn't passionate enough to say what said complaint was about.

In cases like this Im more inclined to believe random user accidentally hit the complaint button, then tried to make the next window go away

&lt;QR&gt;
Last weekend, on the 'dead' Triumph I manged to run 8 Task Forces and Trials, and there was a successful Hami raid whilst I was running one of those.

I think the OP, is vastly overstating his non-existant case.

Get out of AP, or even better dont enter it unless you have a mission that takes you there.

Im not accusing the OP of this, but one thing that does happen on all servers, is that player notes ratings has an effect. The smaller the population, that dufus act that was 1 starred by a player/team/group the more your chances of getting onto teams in the future gets hurt.
