Well, you shouldn't be worried about lowering your DPS drastically anymore, I mean double damage, not that it was huge before, but it's pure negative damage, gonna try install the US Test server and find out a little bit more about it.

Edit: Well, check this and judge for yourself

I'm starting to worry that Smite wont get much of a look in on my scrapper now, and all those slots wasted on it.

I wouldn't skip dark blast, the other two its down to which situation you feel will come up most. Personally I cant see Pet Gaze being the one to take

Acro is purely for KB at least in PvE.

I'd take CJ for its Protection from Imob. Weave offers resistance not protection though, so it just lessens duration

Still it dont matter now as your leaving anyway i suppose.

I'd be inclined to say "Can I have your stuff?", but in the circumstances...

Its sad when someone leaves without benefiting the scavengers first

Does that make Celestine's build better? The SL buff?

I like my mercs in a team they behave much better than my zombies and actually stick together to some degree. Soloing the necro is head and shoulders above it really, but in a team the mercs do just fine. Its basically as long as they're not the ones being attacked they're good I guess. A bit squishy I'd say

Brutes dont deal low damage, Midnight Grasp on brutes does. On a scrapper its about the highest damage ST attack (at least will be) on a brute it falls in behind the big 3 and fire melee too. As a level 32 power its poor. On my scrapper going forward it would be lovely but I have no idea why its damage on a brute doesn't reflect the mark up it gets on a scrapper to the other powers. I guess cause if it was good already then the buff we're about to get will make it over powered.

I love my brutes, they are amazing damage, and a DM brute is good DPS using the whole chain, but its not cause of MG its cause of the other attacks.

Will be Claw/WPing them at some point but not yet.

Yeah but to what purpose? Bragging rights? I don't see it. I would much prefer newer challenges and yes gaining levels.

I used to get a completionist buzz from the content, then I finished that a few times and it went away, now I get it from completing a build I like (not 100% uber or anything, but one of mine did cost 800mil in the end).

Eventually I may turn to badge hunting, but at the moment that doesn't do anything for me

Aye, the reason I dont have a DM brute is the long wait for nothing at 32

DM gets a huge buff in i13.
MG is worth taking in i13 and Siphon life gets its damg doubled, making it a very nice attack.

[/ QUOTE ]

MG's damage on a brute is bad enough that even with the buff coming in it still doesn't compare to the AoE sets ST attacks well.

The siphon life might be nice for a brute but getting all the good powers early puts me off progression.

If you're on a team increasing your damage is actually the lowest priority out of all the people who could mitigate damage. Unless you have a defender with no secondary or epic of course.

The amount of damage a tank does as a % on the team is minimal compared to the other members so a buff to your damage will make a minimal effect on the duration of fights. There are exceptions and I am sure they will be FOTMs shortly

I guess the best proof you can is the petition response I got when my Fire/TA didn't get a HO on the EUs first successful one since the change. Not sure defiant's had one that worked out since then though, if so I missed it

[ QUOTE ]
Dang... I missed it....

my usual Forumite friend that keeps me aprised of these goings on has let me down (he knows who he is)

ah-well.. hopefully I'll manage to get onto the next. it's been a while since I've seen a decent community gathering on defiant, I don't count the rikti raids, they're not as much fun as the old Hami-Lag-Fests were....

see you next time hopefully.. sounds like u had fun.

I got the week wrong OK. Was gonna mention it next Saturday, but well its a week late by then.

I'm getting old that's all

Cheers, will wait and see if I get an end of year bonus from work to decide if that's worth the cash

I remember that being on Scifi some time ago here. Only watched it cause it had CoH in it, and was forwarned

How about when you get a trick, you're simply killed on the spot. Fair treatment for everyone.

[/ QUOTE ]

Mobs from tricks do 10% of your HP in untyped damage using the monster code to always be purple, with -500% regen on each attack and -1000% recovery. They appear from all doors in the zone when 1 person gets a trick and with each kill they get another 3 spawn

Damn that was good. Thanks to all organising, getting bots and remembering it was today

I thought this was next week, no idea why, um I forgot my titan and to log jumping on now

Damnit I could have had that on Prise De Fer if I'd known

Elec has no nuke, it has a 16 target taunt.

Grats on getting a dom to 50, think AFK might be the most enjoyable way

I have been hoping for more Pro-Life-Federation cause have some lovely concepts that dont work yet. I'm also looking forward to a few months after launch when I wont be only able to team with shield character. I remember people being surprised when my new scrapper wasn't a Dual Blades the day that came out. Like dual blades not something I have much interested in (though if dual blades looked more aggressive and less like ballet I would have been interested in that)

Um we dont really get anything like snow down here on the south coast. The only weather based powers I could suggest would be drizzle or mild winter. Not entirely sure they'd be that useful

True, it rely alot on /secondairy also, but like necro even works pretty wonderful with /TA. I made a necro/TA on the US just to see if my weak mercs are related to /TA. But my /TA necro's actualy work very lovely, both single target and (minor)AoE. Ok my /trap is more fun, but they still are great to play.

And /dark pretty much suits every MM petset

[/ QUOTE ]

I hated my try at Ninja/Dark

I think the main bonus of necro is their stupidly good survivability. When you get to 50 and realise your henchmen dont actually need you around any more its a harsh rejection. I know the mercs will always need me cause without me they're nothing NOTHING!

But I'd lose my procs then
