Dispari

It's particularly good with claws.

I made a thread on this in bugs a while back but it didn't get much attention. I had this happen a lot while doing flashbacks on my Widow.

Mechanics aside, in this case Fitness makes the most thematic sense. Fighting is OK, but it's supposed to represent training in fighting. Fitness though works with both the team of a character enhanced by superdine.

And besides. If she's been dragging around a big honking sword for 40 levels, she's probably pretty fit.

Real Trolls have Invuln, Stone Armor, and/or Regen powers. Jutals in particular run Regen powers, and a lot of the units have Fast Healing. So Health is definitely in-character for the +regen.

My Troll is WP just because it has that perfect mix of RES, DEF, and regen powers that make sense for a Troll.

I can't speak for all instances but I have noticed CoT Behemoth bosses now have some sort of version of the SR power Elude or MoG. I noticed while running papers on redside.

Once he had a sliver of health left the team found we couldn't hit him for over a minute.

[/ QUOTE ]
CoT demons have always had Invincibility. And their numbers are high. With just a couple people around them, their DEF is super high. With a whole team, they can be impossible to hit.

The trick is to kill them before they turn it on and/or before people/pets gather around them.

Why not just CoR, for City of Rogues ?

Because there will still be some heroes and villains that don't go rogue?

How about just CoX? It's worked so far hasn't it?

Bio, take it from my FF defender. You are flat out wrong. With the exception of psy attacks that bypass force-fields entirely, the number of times anybody on my team takes more damage than they can sustain without an outside heal/regen buff do not warrant a power selection.

[/ QUOTE ]

That may be true for 90% of the content, but you cannot run a STF/LRSF w/ FF alone. You cannot run a MA mission w/ lvl 54 enemies w/ FF alone. I know I'm picking on FF here, but there aren't many sets that are *only* buff/debuff w/ no heal whatsoever. I can only think of: FF, Sonic, TA, Cold Dom. Even traps has a +regen buff, and storm has a heal-other.

[/ QUOTE ]
I dunno what kind of players you hang out with, but I always try to saturate the team with VEATs. Once we have about 3, the rest of the team has soft-capped DEF all the time and it doesn't matter who else we invite. In environments like that, Tanks and Brutes have enough HP + (RES/regen/misc mitigation) that they don't need outside sources to heal them. With everyone getting hit the minimum amount of time, it can go pretty smooth.

You underestimate what +DEF can do. Teams with enough forcefield or VEATs keeping everyone over the cap are quite strong. Add in +RES buffs and enemy debuffs and you can cruise right over content. I've done both LGTFs and ITFs without any heals. With the right buffs and good tanks, LRSF would be doable too. WP with soft capped DEF = monsterous.

I've personally done Snake farms fighting exclusively mobs of 17 +2 bosses at a time spamming toxic damage with my Brute with only FF to back me up, and done fine. And that was just on a Shield character, so all I had to fall back on was some bonus HP and modest RES with a few regen buffs.

1000 incoming DPS cut down to 8% due to high level foes hitting through high defense is just 80 DPS. Cut that in half from 50% RES or so, reduce it a bit from enemy debuffs, or throw that damage on a tank. Why do you need healing now?

I'm guessing that Disney might believe Hercules is their imaginary property.

Heh, this reminds me of the King Kong/Donkey Kong thing I read about. Apparently, in order to use King Kong, Universal argued in court that it was public domain and won. At a later date, when Nintendo came up with Donkey Kong, Universal tried to sue them. In court, nothing happened, because they were like "Didn't you argue that you'd get to use it because it was in public domain, and now you're trying to keep other people from using it?" Or, for a direct quote, "Universal knew that it did not have trademark rights to King Kong, yet it proceeded to broadly assert such rights anyway."

Wikipedia article about it here.

This isn't a bad idea, but I don't think this alone would be appropriate. And that is if they don't stop at 60 months like everyone suspects.

[ QUOTE ]
Bah, as one of the many, many, many people who will never catch up to the latest vet reward, I'd hate to see such a QoL improvement be tied into something I can't do for another 33 months. I'd love to have the full list of origin-specific titles available to all my characters, but I'd hate to see it restricted.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well for something like this it shouldn't just be handed out, maybe once you hit 50 you talk to a special trainer (Maybe War Witch in Pocket D) and she gives an arc or TF to do?

[/ QUOTE ]
Why make it so complicated? Titles don't do anything to anyone. They're just a cute little addition to the game. It's a quality of life feature to have more of them available to a character. It would be incredibly silly to make you wait until 50 and have to do an arc or task force just to add a name over your head that literally doesn't do anything.

Just beware of the side effects.

* All of your posts suddenly have an "agenda" and nothing you say can be considered as-is. You always have a hidden meaning or a secret reason for you saying such a thing. Once you hit cartel status it's impossible to simply contribute to a conversation because from that point on you're secretly working to further your agenda.

* You're with the rest of the cartel, meaning you always agree with us no matter what. Even when you don't agree with us, those posts are considered non-canon and are ignored/avoided/unmentioned. When you do agree with us, though, it's pointed out that "you're just agreeing with the other cartel members." In the case of disagreeing with Arcanaville, you're actually just being a devil's advocate and helping Arc's power grow.

* You become in charge of the devs. Any questions, comments, or complaints made by "regular" users are ignored because the devs are tripping over themselves and eachother to find OUR posts so they can do what WE say they should be doing. This also applies to to things like Dev Choice and "getting into beta" and whatever else suits the argument at the time.

These are all just bonuses for having X number of posts, of course!

It's funny that just by glancing at a post, if I see things like "Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiight" and "LOTS OF SENTENCES IN ALL CAPS" and sprinklings of things like "Sure thing," and "You bet," I immediately know it's a B_I post.

Does anyone else read B_I's posts with a valley girl voice?

Banes also lack good mez protection. Widows and Forts get 10.4 mag, Crabs get 14.4. Banes get 6 at most, though people even skip the first armor power meaning they only get mag 4. For a melee, that's pretty bad.

I would prefer a single pistol to two personally. Dual pistols to me has always said 'over compensating mama's boy' while one just shows you know what you're doing.

[/ QUOTE ]
Eh, in a fantasy setting there's always "practical versus cool," in which case cool tends to win because nobody cares how practical or realistic it is to use one gun compared to two. This is also why Martial Arts has the flying monkey kick, powers like Total Focus let you slow-mo through the air, and why Dual Blades is so fast and flashy.

Also there is no way for the swords on your back to disappear when you draw your blades. That will result in you having your swords in your hand and still have the swords in the scabbards on your back.

Like how ninja Jounin carry three katanas with them? Now that's a well-prepared ninja!

Anyway, that would be an acceptable tradeoff. Tsoo do it and Infernal does it. I'd just like to see some new non-cape non-wing back options like sheaths, backpacks, jetpacks, and stuff. I've heard it's possible but they need to do a new anchor point. Hopefully they'll give it a shot.

So, is this the Coming Storm?

[/ QUOTE ]

Doesn't look like it... surely they'd be hyping that up like mad.

Surely they wouldn't be callous enough to ramp up expectations for the ongoing plot then finish it in a paid expansion.

Frankly, I like the idea of having a nice, separate plot. Not everything has to be about the Coming Storm.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd like the Coming Storm to actually arrive.

There's a chance that Maelstrom is tied into the Coming Storm- the name has a certain link to it. Perhaps the Coming Storm is a City of Dual Pistol Blasters. Or a Battalion of Dual Pistol Blasters. :-)

[/ QUOTE ]
If Ouroboros is to be believed, the Coming Storm is an invasion of some sort. And though we don't have all the details, it seems that it may have to do with Shivans.

if anything you'll be seeing tons of Trollers and Blasters redside replacing Corrs and Doms

[/ QUOTE ]
I love all these wild speculations about stuff being replaced. Everyone seems to think that the ATs they personally enjoy will be replacing all the ATs on the opposite side.

Though I have to admit, it'd be really funny if it all became true and redside was all Defenders, Tanks, Controllers, and Blasters while blueside became all Brutes, Corruptors, Doms, and MMs.

[/ QUOTE ]

its just that, effectivley Controllers have the sam Bufffing as a Corr, and provide better control than a Dom, making those rolls obsolete whhen looking for a Corr or Dom for a team, when the troller is available.

As for their damage contributions via ranged damage....

BLASTERS!!!!!!!!!!

[/ QUOTE ]
No, it's just that everyone thinks the AT they play is superior to other options and will replace all the other ones. As much as you say Controllers will replace Corrs and Doms, I see people saying Corrs will replace Defenders, and Defenders will replace MMs, and MMs will replace Tanks, and Tanks will replace Brutes, and Brutes will replace Scrappers, and Scrappers will replace Stalkers... et cetera.

If you play a Corruptor, it's because you like Corruptors. Naturally, you believe everyone else wants to be playing Corruptors because it's so obvious how great they are. Truth is, for the most part, if people wanted to be playing Corruptors, they would be. Side-switching will allow people to play ATs on a different side, and for a while we'll see a huge influx of evil Controllers and good Brutes, but eventually it'll iron out. Yeah there will still be evil Controllers, but are they going to totally replace other ATs? I seriously doubt it.

Everyone has a theory on which ATs will become "obsolete" and which ones will "replace" them, and they all contradict eachother.

[ QUOTE ]
But now a rampaging Brute all buffed up and crazy blueside? I shudder to think what will happen to the Scrapper population. Oh, another advantage...a lot of Scrapper players can run Stalkers blueside which is secretly what they wanted anyhow.

[/ QUOTE ]
Your views on Scrappers amuse me.
