Unstoppable from Invulnerability uses the tarzan emote.

You mean that Base Defense thing listed in Combat Attributes?

I think it happened with i13. Maybe. I noticed it and was saddened, too.

Remove Conserve Power from Electric Armor. Replace it with a new power that increases Regeneration based on how much Endurance the character has - the more endurance, the better the regeneration*. Swap this power to tier 8 and Power Sink to tier 7.

Remove Conserve Power from Energy Aura. Replace it with a taunt aura toggle that increases Resistance to all but Psionic for each enemy in the radius - first enemy grants the highest bonus*. Give the set more Toxic resistance and Endurance Drain resistance to match Force Fields.

Add Conserve Power to Mu Mastery as a 5th power option for Brutes.

Port both powersets over to Tankers and Scrappers.


*(Ideas adapted from those of other people, not taking credit)

Actually I just rerolled my level 42 Bots/Traps into Bots/FF so I'd at least have more fun animations, and have Force Bolt and Repulsion Bomb to play with.

Swap Energy Protection for Touch of Fear <_<

What i want to know if anyone has experience from leveling this combo and how it performed.

[/ QUOTE ]It's the most INSANELY BORING character I've ever played, and the damage before level 32 is nonexistant.
And is still less than Thugs past 32.

Damn Col. be a shame to see you go, even if it isnt for good, however I may have bright news for you mate, for all those times you offered advice on vill choices - brutes mainly, for all the times you made me giggle with your (blunt at times) honesty and for the fact that there is someone out there with as fervent an obsession with the 5th column as myself...for all that im willing to lob you a dusty unused pair of gametime cards if you want mate, I really have no use for them as they were bought for a friend who has now defected to another game.

The offer is there, theyre gonna get thrown otherwise so might as well use it...be a shame to lose one of the games most forthright players and a good friend too.

Well get back to me in PM if you need it, if not then ill see you when you return mate.



[/ QUOTE ]...and it looks like I'm back for between 15 days to 30 days thanks to Stryke, guys.

Sorry if this thread ends up looking like a random plea for attention now (though I'll probably have to go anyway once the game card expires), but I really didn't see something like this coming when I made it.
Thanks man.

Scrappers often wear street clothing, based on my experiences.

Whirling hands is already the stinker power in Energy Melee in PvE, you hardly need it at all for a mostly-PvP focused build.

afaik stealth suppresses at the beginning of the animation (you can test this with slow-animating Stalker attacks from stealth), but this is seperate from the interrupt period (see Assassin's Strike). So, basically, when the gun (or whatever powerset you're using) goes bang.

Shield Defence - Any good? I love the look of some of the elemental ones, but is it a set worth trying out? Anyone know of a good guide/strategy/discussion article?

[/ QUOTE ]It's good if you don't approach it with unrealistic expectations. It's like Fiery Aura - it demands an aggressive kill-it-before-it-kills-you playstyle, providing you with a damage buffing taunt aura and a 20 foot radius soft-nuke attack. What it is not, and was never meant to be, is Super Reflexes.

State of the market - I took a quick look at Wentworths, and it seemed to be a bit short on the recopies I was after (Stupefy low to mid 30s). Are people still using it, has the merit system had much of an impact or was it just bad timing?

[/ QUOTE ]The introduction of Merits did impact the market greatly, due to the introduction of the ability to trade Merits for specific recipes you want - this has killed the former steady supply of Random Recipes which people used to put up on the market if they didn't need them. The currently existing Random Roll option for Merits is underused, because a lot of people (I'm not going to say "most" because I can't back that up) prefer getting exactly what they want, as opposed to a gamble.



Also, hi!

scaling resistance tied to how high your endurance is

[/ QUOTE ]VERY interesting idea! Though, maybe instead of more resistance, it could increase Regeneration?

It seems to me that these boards are turning into a parrot cage!
every time someone replies to a new post, several other people simple repeat the answer in other words...
then someone adds a little extra to the reply and, again, someone repeats this in their post...

isnt there a better way to get a high post count?

a very good example is this post where i (for once) made the first reply, only to see several other people repeat exactly what i wrote...

isnt my reply good enough? i can understand why some people wants to add something extra to the reply, but i just dont get it when one or more people repeats everything everyone else has already written.


Col. Blitzkrieger out!

...heck, even a clone of the Freakshow self-resurrection power would be better than Conserve Power.

If it can be done, then let it be so.

Thats painful - how big is the fusion reactor???

[/ QUOTE ]From what it seems like, almost as big as our entire BASE.

I'm not sure why - he's pretty much two-tone and uses a bunch of same-set costume bits - but people seem to like Lord Crow's outfit...

The Grandville map from the LRSF, or Black Scorpion's arc...

Accuracy listings are bizarre. Power Sink is listed as 1.00 accuracy in-game, yet it's autohit.
Heck, pet summons are listed as 2.00 accuracy for some unknown reason, even though summoning a pet does not involve a hit roll (and no, it's not the accuracy of the actual pet, their powers have their own seperate accuracy listings).

Wet Ice doesn't take defense enhancements or sets.

The WoW one doesn't consider builds, so you end up with a team with a Paladin, a Druid, a Warrior, a Shaman and a Priest, and it turns out they're all specced for DPS and thus none of the five can (or, more accurately, none of them will) tank or heal.

Well, it looks like I'm not going to be able to renew my subscription after the 5th, at least for an indeterminate amount of time. (Read: Until I find a job and get money)

So, until then - whenever 'then' is - byebye for now.
To those from GGOOC and other friends/people who put up with me and my jackass-ness, I'll lurk around MSN if you need me. (skinlessstan at hotmail dot com)



Auf Wiedersehen. *waves*



(P.S: No, Ced, you can't have my stuff.)

And WoW.

Is it just me, or does mids not accept Acc ench in this power?

[/ QUOTE ]Maybe it's autohit?
Power Sink and Energy Drain cause nothing but -End to foes too, and are autohit.

Wouldn't know for sure though.

It's perma with 2 SOs. Most people I know use 3 for safety.
