Oookay. Having fun with my Night Widow thus far to 30, but could use some advice on where to go next.

Apologies for slightly scrappy layout, but my powers are:

PRIMARY
Poison Dart (IO: Thunderstrike x 4)
Strike (1x std Acc IO, 3x std Dam IO)
Follow Up (1x std Acc IO, 3x std Dam IO)
Slash (5x Crushing Impact)
Eviscerate (3x Cleaving Blow at the moment)

SECONDARY
Combat Training / Def (3x std Def IO)
Combat Training / Acc (3x std Acc IO)
Tac Training / Maneuvers (2x std Def IO, 1x std EndRed IO)
Mask Presence (2x std Def IO, 1x std EndRed IO)
Mental Training (1x std Flight IO)
Mind Link (taken at 24, near-perma'd already with Def/Rech, Def, Recharge from Targeting set)

POOLS
Stamina: Swift / Health / Stamina (3x std EndMod IO)
Flight: Air Superiority (1x std Acc IO, 2x std Dam IO) / Fly

VETERANS:
Sands Of Mu / Nem Staff

Thinking about putting Foresight back at 32, choosing between Lunge, Psi Scream and Smoke Grenade at 35 and 38, and following the Ghost Widow track for Patrons.

What holes do I need to patch?

FIESTA!

- big rolling stone balls

I will pay NCSoft 10 years subscription if this ends up in the game.

/signed. Big rolling balls of doom are essential for any proper trap building activities, as are collapsing floors, hidden blades, concealed spears and sabotaged glowies.

For that matter, we also need more set dressing - everything from cobwebs, ruined bits and bat guano to shiny computers and whizzy looking technical bits.

We also need a proper Steampunk tileset for Nemesis - I'm sure he's not at home in standard "high tech labs".

[ QUOTE ]
ahh yes - DW said 'the cut scene builder' - to make it more like a comic - excellent idea!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep, but we also need custom NPCs in there. Being an arrogant git you'd definitely have to run into me (Emp / Psi / Energy) and Dreamy The Doom Kitten (Claws / SR / Invis / Confuse / Cuteness) at some point...

[ QUOTE ]

Welcome back DW - The Rani wasn't quite the same

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks - turns out all I had to do was divert the regeneration energy into FG and I didn't have to change after all. One quick retcon and as good as new...

I'd like:

- customisable NPCs (Heros etc) to put new people and plotlines in the game

- cut scene builder

- trigger pads that can trigger doors/ object moving / object destruction / ambushes, etc etc

- dangerous spikes for floors and/or ceilings

- pits of boiling hot magma

- big rolling stone balls

I like the part .. "allows gamers to participate without giving up half their lives." .. No-one told me this when i started playing!

[/ QUOTE ]

Oddly enough, it's how I explain it to my friends - as "the game you can play without it eating your social life".

Hell, give me a cheque for how much gas that thing'd chew through in a year...

On a related note, has anyone tried the pure Recharge IO from Adjusted Targeting?

I filed my suggestion originally in mid-2006, so I demand that they take priority over whatever mere "developers" may have filed on their own change requests

I'd prefer a Pistols / Scrappy blaster.

You can do a classic guns'n'fisticuffs Natural hero with AR/Energy at the moment, albeit with the daft pink pompoms, and it really does work quite well (Build Up > Boost Range > Full Auto > Flamethrower, followed by punching anything left standing to the floor).

It'd still be better with proper gunslinging moves though. I'd also prefer to have Utility Pistols like the Malta gunslingers (with varying damage types - like the Ice Hold and the explosive/flame bullets.)

EDIT: Digging WAYYYY into my posting back catalogue:

Okay, how about...


Snap Shot
Minor Lethal, fast recharge

Dual Shot
Moderate Smash/Lethal, Knockback

Empty Clips
High DoT

Arc Welder
Moderate Fire damage (Point Blank arc)

Air Taser
Short-ranged Air Taser similar to Tech inherent power, but does moderate Elec DoT and is powerful enough to Disorient foes.

Harpoon
Does Moderate Lethal damage and drags target next to you. (Get over here! Follow up with Bone Smasher or similar)

Laser Sights
Toggled "aim" power like Targeting Drone

Gyro Slug
Snipe: fires long-range mini-rocket which explodes on impact (single target High Smash/Lethal, AoE minor Smash)

Tranq Gas Round
AoE Sleep/Slow, -Regen, -Perception.

Flechette Storm
Explosive rounds break up on launch to cover a wide area in front of pistol user.

Since it's on the US boards only, has they all gone to teh Americans?

As for the rest I don't really have a theme as such except for my duos where the track the includes the lyrics: 'Two heads are better than one double the pleasure babe; triple the fun...' Though I only know that little bit really and that is remembered from Bill and Ted... (don't know the composer or artist, I'd like to )

[/ QUOTE ]

Power Tool (aka Dweezil Zappa).

too many to count for all my alts.

DreamWeaver - really needs her own John Williams theme, but until then Ever Dream by Nightwish.

Agent Flux / Operative Flux: either Morcheeba's Killer Hippie or Dominion by Sisters of Mercy.

Prince Vultan - Queen - Battle Theme (Flash Gordon OST)

The Dread Pirate Brian (from Accounting): Alestorm - Wenches and Mead

Meh! I would love a Fire stalker

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease Devs?! **puppy dog eyes**

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't get me wrong, but I have this feeling that setting people ON FIRE doesn't fit the whole "sneaky" concept. People tend to notice.

[ QUOTE ]
i curious, if we're getting new forums, what's going to happen to all the old posts etc? Are they gonna be ported over?

[/ QUOTE ]

They're going to be fully and ethically recycled into feed pellets for WoW forum moderators. It's better than what they're used to.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
However, I have a feeling these will not be availiable for Stalkers. A shield is kind of... noticable.


[/ QUOTE ]

all the better, they'll be looking at the shield and not notice the sneaky stalker behind it hehehehehehehehehehehe

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe they'll be customisable to look like furniture objects.

But why are Rikti/Lost on the plane? Are they the cabin crew?

More to the point, take the old Wiccan credo - "do as you will but harm none".

My 3p:
DO ask if you need extra people on your team.
DON'T ask more than once. Try and actually remember who you've asked before.

DO sell your stuff for the going rate.
DON'T buy up the entire stock of something essential and force the price up for a profit.

DO play the game your way.
DON'T wreck other people's enjoyment if you can help it.

If this thread continues to be so off-topic, I'll close it.

You forgot the *cropcrack*.

In at least a vague attempt at seriousness, who's betting that the Coming Storm will attempt a beachhead on the Moon - hence the Moonbase thing - and we may have to team up with the Rikti to get... stuff... done?

And that the space shuttle used to get there will be infested with snakes?

For some reason, even though I've got the Inf and 2 tailor tokens, can't edit that 2nd costume slot...

I think it was said in an interview (can't find the source right now) that Empathy will remain hero side only, while Poisons will remain on the villain side. Due to empathy being more of a hero powerset, and the same to poisons.


[/ QUOTE ]

Not exactly. I remember Posi saying the powerset will be renamed and powers names will be different, and it *is* coming.

Antipathy?

Soup Dragon TF, anyone?

I seem to be having the same issue on my Bots/Traps MM, although I've also experienced the same problem with normal damage enhancements. Similarly, combi DAM/*** IOs don't boost pet damage numbers.

In my not particularly humble opinion...

CONSIDER TAKING:

- Repair. Completely heals any given bot - you'll usuually be using it on your Assault Bot when it runs into something stupidly huge. Saves a LOT of running away/summoning time, and is not interruptible like Heal Other. HO is still useful though.

- TP Foe. Your set gives you both prox mines and Poison Trap (which is a divine gift from the dark goddesses. Slot it, use it, love it.) Teleporting a hapless minion into the midst of your snarling mob of bots is useful, ensuring that they set off your carefully laid traps more so.

- Recall Friend can also be exceptionally useful for retrieving lost/stuck bots.

- Save up like mad for any kind of Stealth enhancement (Freebird: Stealth, perhaps) and use it. Consider Grant Invisibility to move your bots about quietly and grant another useful team buff.

DROP:
Seeker Drones - you get these for free anyway with an Upgraded Protector Bot and they're just as effective as the regular power.
