I haven't /ignored him, but I do ignore whatever he says. I just hate seeing one side of a conversation.

Well, it's official, I suck at PvP, but I'm coming along anyway

I can't get the stealth power someone mentioned, apparently i have to be the level range for the relative mission, ah well, debt cap, here I come

Anyway, i'll be there on Camerman Duty, trying to record as mucyh as possible before I get sniped/stalked/killed etc, here's hoping at least a few of the villains leave me to it

If not, I'll just leg it out of there and wish the heroes good luck

For someone who sucks at PvP, you got pretty damn far in S4

Sorry?
I didn't mean to say being without aim is the best way. I meant to say being without it does not equal being gimped.
Im getting it, make no mistake about that. It just wasnt first on my lists.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think 'gimped' is a strong word. But you're definately much stronger with both as early as possible.

You're friend is probably making things up.

As far as I know, nothing has been said about any changes...and Statesman said no major changes to powersets would be happening (not that that actually means anything...but he said it )

Bar Hami raids, I have never put Healing Aura on autofire. It's just a waste of endurance...and lazy.


Odd thing...I tried to click reply to Syn's post...and it just kept timing out, but it worked fine replying to everyone else

um...about that...I sort of..um...lost the Squirrels of Doooom. I do have regular squirrels though...and they can scratch you up something fierce!

I believe you can also place them in secure rooms...although they cost even more than defensive rooms

I just saw your sig V...you really are a badge [censored]!

I get what Imag means about us 'earning' our XP more now.

There were times back in the good 'ole days that I really felt like I wasn't bringing anything to the team, the tanks kick butt, and nobody was really getting hit...and thanks to my team build (read: minimal attacks) I had nothing to do but buff...and sometimes I really wondered if they would even notice if I stopped buffing (I didn't...I needed *something* to do). Although in this case it may have been more down to just being with a great team (Silence, Spad, Jane-Gogetter, Kirigirsu, Johnny Fiasco and others) we teamed together alot and we worked very well together. Then we did the Shard TF's...yay!

But now, I have to work alot harder, heck, sometimes I don't even get time to buff properly!

Oh, and Hero Builder agrees with the 13% figure.

But personally...I enjoy Empath more now than I have in a long while...long live ED!

Hmm...didn't think of that...we'll have to work hard for the next few days to try and make sure we keep Sirens Call under our control!

Empath's face ---->

oh cripes! look at the time...I've gotta be up in a few hours!

I reckon the Paragon Defenders will be around to...um...defend Paragon

[/ QUOTE ]

Well I was only going to go so I could bash people, but I suppose we could do some Paragon defending while we're there.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thankfully, defending Paragon mostly involves bashing people

An Item of Power is what makes your base raidable. Once you have one you have to set two windows in which your base can be raided. They also give a small boost to a certain aspect in PvE. I'm not sure what all of them are, but I know one is +1% damage, and another is +1% XP.

The main focus of a raid is to steal the IoP. The only other way to get one is to complete the Cathedral of Pain trial (available from the SG Mission Computer eventually). The trial isn't currently available on the live servers though, and when it is, it will only be available for 5 out of every 60 days (although that may change by the time it is actually available).

Yay congrats Venture! I'm gonna have to drag myself over to COH more often, lots of people I'm missing the chance of teaming with !

[/ QUOTE ]

Damn right you do!

And many grats Venture! A great empath

I reckon the Paragon Defenders will be around to...um...defend Paragon

if 2 AS's can kill a fully shielded tanker, then how the hell are we ( Blasters, defenders, corrupters ) are suppose to avoid this [censored]?

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought you said that you got stunned?

But that just sounds like good tactics to me. You'd die just as easy if two good blasters were after you as well.

[ QUOTE ]
As things generally stand, I can two-shot them and they can two-shot me... but I don't need to be hidden to do it. Does that seem fair, Shimmer?

[/ QUOTE ]

That's a fair point...I can 2 shot any squishy (one-shot if I use Build Up and get a Critical - well pre-ED anyway...not so sure now), and I don't need to be hidden to do it.

Stamina: Not a problem. Still a valid power to have, essential even. Not once during that 8 man team skirmish did I ever get close to burning all my End.

[/ QUOTE ]

You still find Stamina essential? Even before ED I never used it, and while running through the 4th Shards TF the other day I never ran out of endurance...and I was actually attacking!

My current slotting seems to work out quite well for me.

@Death Badger

Don't take MoG!? That power has saved me soooo many times!

I'm with you on Revive though - I only took that because there was nothing I wanted at 49.

[edit]

Just noticed you asked for advice on using them as well.

Reconstruction: Very useful now that IH isn't a toggle, it's up pretty often and is a nice heal. Best advice is to save it till you're below 50% health.

Dull Pain: I find this has two uses. When you could perma it, I used it mostly as a constant boost to my health, but now it's a great emergency heal which gives you added survivability and is very handy to pop before a tough fight.

Instant Healing: I don't find this that great as an emergency power, or not as one you should be hitting when your health is in the red. If you can spot when a fight is about to g bad, it's great. But I also use it just before going into a big mob/AV.

MoG: This is the real emergency power, gives you a massive heal just before it takes your health so you can hit it when you're very low on health - and once slotted you can survive for ages (or get really unlucky and die fast ). You've just got to remember not to use it against Psi villains or anything that debuffs defence.

When the withdrawal symptoms get to much? So you'll be back today then

You weren't Clear Minded enough.

I've found one CM is usually enough (for Stalkers without pool powers at least), 2 stacked usually means we can see them far before they can AS us.

Oh, and happy birthday Syn

I did not say they could one-shot 'whoever they want' at no risk; however they can one-shot controllers and defenders at no risk. Unstealth. One-shot. Stealth.

And I was clear minded the entire time; and as I have already pointed out a multitude of times, while there are inspirations and temporary powers - we should not have to rely on that to make the game balanced.

[/ QUOTE ]

Uh...they can't one shot me with no risk...just have a good team as back up.

If I can't use CM, then Stalkers aren't allowed to use hide!

It could be two, I only have a vague memory of seeing a post somewhere.

I think the actual raid has to be scheduled 3 days in advance, once set it's on (unless the attackers don't show of course)
