Energizing_Ion

I don't play Blasters that much (mainly cause they're "just damage" which is "meh" to me ) but I agree that something needs to be done/changed with "nukes" in general.

Maybe make them more like Rain of Arrows/Hail of Bullets. Something that is up more often and can be used, if the person wants, every spawn or every other spawn.

Yes, that'd be less damage potentially but...*shrugs*

I also like the idea of making it like -80 end and a "endurance drain DoT" of the rest in ticks.

I'll agree; I kind of liked the green-goo people.

I have a lvl 50 StJ/Regen brute and I like him. I was (am) surprised at how much I like him...maybe it's because StJ is win...but...I don't really die that much unless I'm in a big team and try to "tank" and take the alphas.

I'm still getting used to win to use Instant Healing, MoG, etc...I keep thinking MoG takes 5-8 minutes to recharge when it doesn't so it goes unused.

Just have to think differently with this toon....


Once I get Barrier on him though; hopefully I'll be really good I IO'd him to have +rchg, +hp and +hp regen.


Edit:


He has perma-dull pain...and about 1-5 seconds away from perma-hasten (although could possibly get perma-hasten if I put lvl 50 rchg IOs in Hasten...at the moment, only have lvl 35s in Hasten.).

I think my very first toon on live was a Grav/Emp Controller. Yep...he got deleted around lvl 12 (my best friend, who played with me at the time, kept making fun of his costume....so....deleted!).


Probably a month or two after live (maybe less?); I made a Kin/Rad Defender, Energizing Ion, now he's my main; still is for the most part.


Now I do play a lot of toons and the only time I really play EI is when there are new badges to get; however, I still think EI is my "main" even though I'm lvl'ing up all my other toons.

Of course I can help out if I'm ever online when things are going and I'm not busy.


As far as the TPN/Maelstrom's guns go....here's what I remember.


When you defeat Maelstrom in phase 3 (inside the building) he has a chance to drop (as a purple recipe) his right hand gun (or is it the left handed gun?).

Then when you defeat him in phase 5 he has a chance to drop (as a purple recipe) his left hand gun (or the right hand gun).

I think each drop chance is like 4%; so a total chance of 8% you'd get one of the pistols as a purple recipe drop.

That's what I recall from memory at least.

I hate all the threads that keep coming talking about the same thing but in a different way.

It's "funny" to me that when BAF was first introduced I was reading up from EU_Damz (I think it was hist post) that mentioned doing choke points and when I'd get in on a BAF with my main, I was like, "choke points?!" but then I'd hear, "no, that doesn't work...doors!"

I remember leading a BAF and doing choke points and even linking the map/image of the where the chokepoints were to the league and we still failed (failed totally that is...20 prisoners escaped) and people were "boo'ing" me (nothing has changed, no? I keed)


So I was a fan of doing it the "doors" way with maybe 1-2 strong single target dmg dealers in the pathways for any help necessary....but now it seems like everyone is doing choke points... hehe...granted having most people +1, 2 or 3 is a lot easier now instead of back then when everyone was lvl 50.

See...funny.

>_>

I know you may not want to leave your "home" server but...have you tried other servers?

Thanks for the info/heads-up AW
