    It's not even a demo.

  3. I know that most melee cones now have a range of seven feet, and I've always done some small sidestepping with them to try to get as many targets hit as possible.

    Lately, however, I've noticed that when I'm moving around a bit, I have been hitting groups of enemies that shouldn't be hit at once by a seven foot cone. Specifically, when I move away from a target, the cone acts like the range includes where I am when I click the attack, as well as where I was a moment before. For example, here I managed to hit two targets with shadowmaul, even though when I'm stationary they are too far apart to active the power. Moving appears to mess with the range.

    But, I'm sure there are unbelievers, for shame, that think it might be a small oddity or the result of lag. I challenge anyone to explain what looks like extending shadow maul to 20 feet, give or take a foot. Looks like about 20.

    Once I notied this odd behavior, I tried applying it to other melee cones, like golden dragonfly, which is all but impossible to use to hit more than two enemies at once. Or is it?

    Perhaps I need to respec back into breath of fire for a bit...

    Damage auras?

    The power Taunt enables you to attract attention from enemies that are not within melee range, so you don't have to spend time chasing them or losing a decent position. Damage auras will generally prevent enemies from running away from you towards someone else, but not much beyond that.

    Damage auras?

    They taunt and are very efficient at doing damage, relative to attacks from your primary. They do not, however, build any fury.

    Get a full team of 8 wp toons and go do some mishes. Or go do an AE arc with all WP foes. It certainly does something.

    [/ QUOTE ] Yes, if all eight tanks are within eight feet of each other, they'll inflict 13~28% tohit debuff, depending on the enemy level.

    Isn't moment of glory 45 seconds down, 15 up with SOs?

    Base recharge of 4 minutes, and can't get anywhere near perma. Perma-MOG would be tedious, but figuring out why someone would want it isn't a difficult task.

    Mmmm yeah ... dunno how having more slots with enhancements that more then double DO output puts a DO build in range of an IO build

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Check your enhancement values next time you exemplar.

    So why would a team pick a scrapper over a brute all things being equal?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Why would you ever pick a 2nd brute over anything?

    Solo, scrappers benefit more from things like buildup and red inspirations enough to arguably justify the difference in hitpoints and resist caps. Teamed, the first brute may be better than a scrapper, but I think that's a small enough margine to live with. If you are going to claim you see several brutes in large teams, each maintaining 70% fury or more, then that's going to be the first I've ever heard of it.

    I do find it entertaining that people will complain about being unable to hit with total focus and energy transfer in teams because teammates kill too fast, while in the same thread I find arguing over brutes comparing too favorably with scrappers in tearms of damage. Obviously, energy melee must be the exception.

    I am considering moving the LotG Defense out of Combat Jumping and placing it into Active Defense

    [/ QUOTE ]

    My active defense doesn't accept defense sets...

    edit: Reading that back to myself is rather amusing.

    Has anyone else noticed that NPCs with Fly refuse to fly (and usually run away instead?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Custom critters have a tendancy to lose flight or their secondary depending on their level.

    it should not be required to read a guide to be able to have success in the game.

    It isn't. You just appear to be a special case.

    I've read that slotting a Membrane into Active Defense will improve your defense de-buff resistance. When I tried it in game the stats monitor did not reflect any improvement. It stayed exactly the same.

    Did I do something wrong? Does this actually work and if it does wouldn't an Enzyme work better?

    Thanks for the help.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Did you activate the power again, after you changed the slotting? Remember, it's a click, not a toggle

    Seasoned MMO players will know not to care about such semantics.

    You certainly seem to care. A lot.

    While I don't know why they gave multiple contacts for newspaper or police radio missions, this has to be one of the most obscure targets for a "quality of life" request.

    Don't forget- it needs to be turned on, too.

    Better yet, we need three of them, so that there's an excuse to have the micorwave running all the time.

    You can probably also find that toxic spit attacks are typed as fire for defensive purposes for the same reason.

    I used to think so too, but 'linking' the details for vahz zombies shows something different.

    Zombie Vomit. I seem to have lost my projectile vomit link, but you can check it in game easily enough. Send a tell to yourself with [projectile vomit].

    I offered to sell item X and it sold for more than I offered it, twice during the month or so that I had it listed.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Bubba lists kinetic weapon for 50 influence.
    You list kinetic weapon for 10,000 influence.
    There are only two for sale.

    The Pope bids 20,000 influence for kinetic weapon. Bubba gets the sale for twice what you were asking.

    That is how the bid system is intended to operate. Unless you know that there were no items listed below your price, seeing sales for more than what you're asking isn't an error at all.

    Conspiracy!

    Bah, keyboards are cheap, why bother "saving" one?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It can take me a month to get used to a new keyboard if any of the keys are in a different location. One keyboard I had been using for years had the backslash key in an odd spot, and I had been using it for jump in nearly every mmo or shooter I was playing. It dies, I can't find one like it, and suddenly my characters are all limp .
