That's the whole point to the Ouroboros intro mission. It tells you how to go back and re-do things you have already done.

Yes, you can do the initiation again. Just go to the aspect pillar.

That is correct, you're not in BG at that time. If they are in follow, goto, or stay, you will be in BG mode. As soon as aggro is lost, your pets will return to follow and then you will be in BG mode.

Sorry, pet peeve.

Totally understandable. I was replying to someone else and you couldn't have known that the answer to your question was there without reading the whole thing. It was just easier for me to hit multiquote rather than find the link again.

EDIT: And it's not a dumb question. Sorry to be cliche, but the dumb question is the one you didn't ask.

I already answered that here. Just read the link.

What I said should still hold. Bots/dark is the only thing I would consider more powerful than bots/traps. Leave all of your pets in bodyguard mode and jump in first with darkest night and tar patch. By this point, everything is attacking but can't hit you. Even if they do land a few hits, you've got 75% damage resistance to everything and a heal. I would drop the personal attack because I don't think they do enough damage post-26 to even matter. Everything in /dark except black hole is worth grabbing.

Judging by your comments about leaving pets in aggressive stance and how you keep dying, I assume you don't know about bodyguard mode at all. Please read that link. You'll thank me later.

Totally made my day, right here.

I R EN-GUH-NEER! I R know maths but not good explain things for other persons read them right.

Er, what I mean is I probably didn't write it well enough.

Wait, what? I thought I explained that better.

The first case is the odds of getting knocked down only.

The second case is getting knocked back only.

Adding together is the total chance for some sort of knock, be it down or back.

EDIT: Perhaps better wording is this:
(.3*.8) = chance that punch does knockdown times the chance that KC does not do knockdown.
(.7*.2) = chance that punch does not do knockdown times the chance that KC does knockdown.
Adding those together is the total chance for knockdown ONLY. 38%

The chance that they both fire is not a subset of that because I include in the calculation the chance that the other does not fire. The chance that they both fire at the same time is (.3*.2), or 6%. Add that to the 38% for the total chance that some form of mitigation happens.

I do not fail at statistics. I spent enough time in the gambling industry to know my odds.

EDIT AGAIN: I don't want to come across as arrogant or egotistical, but I did feel the need to be a bit defensive. I am very sure in my mathematical knowledge.

It's not a good thing if the arrows port you to Pocket D...

In Mother Preatoria, pistol nukes you!

I can affirm that he is not the only one adding those tags.

But it wasn't me.

Thanks!

This is a truly epic plan. I volunteer to be one of the corruptors or the brute. Hell, even the defender, but I'm assuming you want that role.

I agree, I was going to stay out of the Resistance/Loyalist ForumRP, but this put me over the edge. I need to figure out where to get the anarchist sig banner.

I can attest that all traps can be used while hover is active, you just need to be on the ground to use them.

Quoting myself to ask if anyone has tried this. I've never actually done it so I don't know if it works.

I can't tell whether I made up this trick or if I'm vaguely remembering someone else who posted it a long time ago, so I'm not going to take credit.

Blue Steel should have the "kill field" around him. It's not like he has to expend effort to defeat zombies and Rikti.

I can see the value in flying fast, but I see it as a QoL enhancement, not necessarily a useful enhancement. Throwing in the end reduction in combo is also very nice, and since it's a split enhancement, you get more "total enhancing" than just one IO.

I know you already know all this, I'm just kind of... well I don't know what I'm doing.

Anyway, the real reason for me to pop back in this thread is for an update on my warshade. That cheap build is all but "finished." I say that in quotations because the character is only level 48, so there's still three more slots and a LOTG mule to pick up yet. I've got everything I need so far except for two LOTG recharge bonuses and a few other flair pieces. It amazes me how quickly you can burn through 350 million influence. Ok, so it's not cheap, but it doesn't have purples.

I've already seen an incredible improvement. I mean, I went from common IOs, Basillisk's Gaze, and two Impervium armors to the build you see overnight. I now have more recharge from set bonuses than I get from hasten. Eclipse is up surprisingly often. In dwarf form, I can stack mires. Considering how powerful I felt before... now I feel... über. I feel on par with my bots/traps, except that I don't have to wait for an entourage of pets to catch up. Actually I do. Well, I don't have to wait for the fluffies, but they're nice when they're behind me. Point is... wow I feel like a bottle of awesomesauce.

I just want to thank everyone again for the advice I've received. I am very happy with the results!
