Yes, supposedly Protean has been asking for it for a while!



















Hint, it's a joke/not happening....

Couple thoughts on this:

1.) One big reason, for me, why Beast Mastery had a lot of buzz was (and is) because of the actual attacks that the primary has. Fun and great looking attacks...I mean who doesn't want to throw bees at their enemies?

Plus the huge Hawk attack (which is non-existent anymore)...

2.) I am way more excited for Staff Fighting than I am for Beast Mastery. Also BM was "leaked" so it was "new" compared to Staff where "everyone" knew it was coming....was just a matter of "when" and not "if".

Hehe on the "doggy treats"


But yeah....I try not to duplicate power sets that I've used before and I do already have an Illusion/FF controller so..."re-using FF" would be okay but...I haven't done Sonic Resonance at all (beyond lvl 8 or so) so...maybe Beast/Sonic?


Hmmm...

Nope and nope (to you thinking it makes no sense whatsoever).


To me, again I say to me, I don't see the "synergy" that dark/dark has (beyond the -tohit).

I'm thinking of a play style I guess. Dark primary has (for controls), excluding ST attacks since all primaries have the same ST attacks, a pbaoe stun, location based hold, a cone fear, cone immob. and then pets.

Dark secondary's new powers (pbaoe +def and pbaoe +hp/recovery) would be best suited, again to me, to a primary where you're in melee a lot (or more than usual).

I see the Dark primary as more of a ranged primary especially with the cone immob. and cone fear. Only melee power is the pbaoe stun.

So a primary like Ice or Fire where more AoE powers are melee oriented (Artic Air, Hot Feet and both Ice and Fire have PBAoE holds, etc...) makes sense, again to me, for darkness affinity.

Am I saying Dark/Dark Controller is bad, pathetic or people are stupid for choosing that combo? Absolutely not! I just don't see the play style synergy.

Sheesh

You know, that's a good summary and I actually may do a Beast/FF MM now that I think of it.

One of my "issues" with BM is that the attacks are cool so I'd want to use them...well that means I will be taking all 9 powers from the primary...so that leaves less room for my secondary/power pools.

FF is the generic, "only need 3 powers from the secondary to be good" (2 shields and the mez protection shield)....so...hmm....

Now the question is: "Do I want to "suffer" that much and make one because I know my pets will die "a lot" until I get my bubbles IO'd out to reach/come close to the def soft cap?" hmm....

Hey man I already said this, get your own routine!

<3 Kinetics.

Congrats



Just finished a DIB run here; EI is now up to 1340

Still a few to get!

Have you ever played with Kinetics before?


Seriously just solo'ing and I could spam all my kinetics powers and never attack (unless I get -rchg debuffed).

Between Siphon Speed, Siphon Power, Fulcrum Shift, Transfusion, Transference and then buffing people (granted that's a lot easier/faster now with the AoE buffage) you're busy!

It's possible the guy was a GM or something...or maybe I just got lucky and some 'bug' happened that allowed me to be tp'ed to the same instance/shard that the leader was in...don't know. *shrugs*

At the time I was like, "hey that's nice/good feature"

I don't know, I think I'd disagree with you on the last statement

Yes there is discovery but for people like me who just would like to "play the game" there would be an option to look things up IN the game.

One thing I never understood is the fact that all MMOs (at least the ones I've played since AC2) have tons of info on the main website (forums or fan sites)....that's great! Why isn't most of that IN the game? You know, to at least be someone immersive instead of, "man I'm really having a hard time finding x...I don't have another hour or two to look around and just want to do x....*asks in chat, how do I do x?* *go look online* o_O"

One of things that I HATED about WoW was the "go see x npc in y town." Ugh, looking around for that npc was so painfully tedious to me. Give me CoH where it shows you right where the NPC is with a mini-marker. So nice.

Again my thought like I said earlier, was to have an NPC. The walkthroughs/videos wouldn't be jammed down someone's throat but if someone wants to look at what to do, etc....then go to that NPC.



Actually no, I just said in the general chat "hey I'll join that quest with you (he broadcasted saying he was looking for people)." I got a "x has invited you...he's on a different instance (shard ?), if you say yes you'll be tp'd to him."

So uh...at least in this case I guess he knew what to do

This is what surprises me....no sales on the extra enhancement storage spaces?!



Come on devs, you know you want to put both of the extra spaces on sale for at least 50% off

Ah, okay...didn't know/think it was possible to make a 15 min power perma hehe.

Random thought/question; I thought the pets in the patron pools were set at 9/10 mins. base recharge to stop them from being perma-able....is it possible to make them perma?

You know I've been thinking what would be good to pair with Darkness Affinity.

Dark/Dark doesn't really synergize well, I think, beyond the -tohit aspect. Fire/Dark though....hmm....


I was leaning towards Ice/Dark since Ice is primarily melee oriented too but...hmm...

Hmm, well my only thought is to make sure you don't have some option in the recipe window that would stop you from seeing the recipe.

Beyond that..*shrugs* might be a bug and /bug it?

Log out, wait a few seconds, log back in, maybe that helps? Beyond that no idea.
