Quote:One of the best ways to increase endurance is to 3 or 4 slot Stamina. 2 - 3 Regular End Mod IOs/SOs and the +End Proc from the Peformance Shifter Set, IIRC.Are there any lower cost IOs that improve either endred or endmod?
Thx
There are a LOT of IO sets that offer +recovery or +endurance. Some are armor sets, melee sets, etc. You should take a look at them at Paragowiki.com or by downloading and toying around with Mid's Hero Designer program. Both are great avenues for increasing your knowledge.
Lastly, if you want to increase the performance of each power while avoiding all the Set Bonuses business, then I recommend 'Frankenslotting' your powers with IOs. Frankenslotting means to slot each power for maximum effect using various IOs from various Sets. For instance, slotting Jab you could use Crushing Impact; Acc/Dam/End, Acc/Dam/Rech along with Mako's Bite Acc/Dam/End/Rech and Acc/End/Rech along with Touch of Death's Acc/Dam/End, etc etc.
I hope that helps. -
How do you have your attacks slotted? I would advise at least one endurance reduction or 2 if you have Rage and Hasten (both give a -endurance crash).
How about your armor toggles? I would recommend 1 end reduction in each secondary toggle (including RttC) and 2 in Tough and Weave. I wouldn't waste an end reduction in CJ unless you have an extra slot.
On my SS/WP Brute most of my endurance woes came from Rage and Hasten crashing but I solved my issues with a sheeet load of IOs. Since you are avoiding IOs, look into slotting your attacks with more end reduction. -
Quote:I beg to differ. The thread itself is hilarious and I thank Turbo Ski for making the thread deliver far more than it should have with the original OP.I wanna add to the thread, but it is so derailed and full of fail at this point that I don't know how to be constructive.
No, I will say I skimmed most of the helpful and logical posts once the flames began because those were bringing me down. > -
Quote:Really? Cold/ provides no offense or defense?I didn't say anything that was wrong.
Rad doesn't provide adequate offense or defense (it provides a bit of both - what's to be considered adequate is the issue). Cold, FF, Sonic and other sets don't have the tools to provide offense or defense to the Defender. I've already shown this.
I don't understand why you keep inserting your foot in your mouth.
Artic Fog gives +resistance and +defense to the defender (and the team). Sleet provides excellent defense in the form of mitigation, and then there's Heatloss. Heatloss replenishes endurance and hits the enemy with -resistance (think of it as +damage to the defender) which gives the defender more offense.
I have limited experience with Sonic and FF but I've already seen some posters explain how off base you are with FF/ but you simply ignore their posts.
Lastly, it's obvious to me that you have very little experience with most of the sets you claim to be adequate or lacking. Perhaps you should take the time to ask about the sets or actually garner some experience. I have experience with Rad/, Dark/ and Cold/ from defenders and everything you've said regarding those sets has been incorrect. -
I'm a bit dissappointed here. I came to this thread expecting for nerdrage and all I see is helpful communication.
What has happened to these forums!? -
+200% (100% Fury)
Just swung at.
Fire/WP or Fire/Inv.
None, brutes have no fear. -

Quote:I agree with the dancing rat-boy thing.Not particularly.
Aion doesn't really interest me too much. And even if it did, it'd savage my poor old comp something fierce.
Lineage and Guild Wars? Eh. Fantasy isn't quite my cup of tea.
Exteel? A nice diversion now and then, but it's already free.
So, no. I get all the NC entertainment I want/need with just my CoX sub. -

Quote:It's no different than someone using a FF/, horribly gimped build to determine "defender's balance."Like Dark, Kinetics is one of those sets that works pretty well. People keep referring to kinetics as proof that Defenders are just fine, but I just don't see it as typical.
And Kin/ not typical? What set is typical? Dark? Nope. Kin? Nope. How about Cold/? or Rad/? I'm guessing you'll say no as well. What about Storm/?
Do you see my point? -
Quote:Pffffft, Avatar > Captain PlanetAir is in everything
Volcanic Gasses is Air all the way
Fire Breath is a good mix of Fire and Air
Water Spout is a good mix of water and air
I am curious what heart would be, some sort of healing seems like a good heart fix, but that is if you are trying to be the Captain. -

After 3+ years in this game I decided I wanted to take a looksee at base building and have setup my own small VG as a hub for my crafted IOs, etc.
However, I need to invite a few of my villains into the VG to get some of that yummy prestige bonus and I only have this one account.
My questions:
1. Can trial accounts be invited to Super Groups?
2. If so, can the trial account invite other characters to the same Super Group?
If I cannot get the trial account to do what I hope, then I'll just activate a 2nd account for a month or something.
Thanks in advance. -

Quote:This is so funny I had to quote it for anyone that might be ignoring you.I don't pay to be here. I pay to play a game. I come here to partake in discussions about the game and the like. I didn't say all posters here are like you. Think of it as Germany in the 1920's. You're the rising Nazi party while the rest of us are trying to get by in a country of turmoil.

I doubt this would be implemented any time soon. There are specified zones for PvP along with the Arena. Finding anyone of those options takes a moment, if that, and once inside you'll find like-minded people to duel.
You won't get turned down left and right and then become frustrated resulting in a log off. Cause, thats what will happen. PvP fails at this game because most players do not enjoy the mechanics and/or the design of PvP all together.
So while you might think this is a great idea, it's actually an absolute waste of development time/resources since there are already PvP zones, the Arena and the fact PvP population is very small which draws very little attention from resources. -
Quote:So which are you? You ARE posting here which makes you a member of the community. What's worst, is you pay to be here and loathe it at the same time. I LOL in your general direction.Because people like her and followers like you is what this game's community is now reduced to.

Quote:It's amazing how our experiences were so incredibly different. I logged in Saturday after the maintenance and I was surprised to see how UN-laggy Freedom/CoV was for my poor laptop. Normally, lag is terrible and I've come acustomed to it when playing from that rig...but not Sat, and I even remember commenting to my team at that time which seemed to agree.Was anyone else as disappointed with the outcome of this 2xp weekend as I was? Server populations were quite low (I never saw freedom or virtue over yellow). Freedom at least, was down saturday morning, and whatever problem they were supposed to fix during maintenance, didn't get fixed. Freedom was incredibly laggy, and people were mapserving left and right the whole weekend. I was also really counting on people coming out of AE and playing this weekend as well, but since AE was giving 2xp too, everyone was just farming more than ever. Usually, I'm very psyched about 2xp weekends, but this one just didn't feel the same.
RE: Teaming
It was incredibly easy to start and maintain an 8 man team on Freedom/CoV. So easy in fact, at one point our SG had 3 teams running (mixture of SG mates and Pick-ups, and whatever team I was on kept 8 players easily. Remember, this is on CoV where the population is suppose to be scarce.
To conclude, I went from 39-42 on a dom and 8-32 on a corruptor. Double Exp felt just fine to me. -
Quote:You must be very lonely.The only person with a bigger ego than the tanker in the OP's story is the OP himself, that's a red flag right off the bat that he is full of it. Also I would have kicked him regardless of his AT and build if he gave anyone in one of my teams that kind of attitude.
