My first character took me over a year of casual playing to get to lvl 50, which was the longest. My quickest took under an hour to get to 50.

Also, Radiant Aura is nice to have when you actually take some damage.

Quote:It's not that bad and definitely viable since you have Fury and Rage. Although, if anything I'd slot it with Kinetic Crash instead of Force Feedback if you went that route since it has better set bonuses and damage enhancement. Personally, my SS/Fire has KoB slotted with Crushing Impacts.Originally Posted by LygerZero
Yes. You SHOULD be using KoB for damage, since if you don't, you may as well roll another set.
It's your hard hitter. Don't slot if for anything BUT a damage set. Almost as bad as slotting it with a hold set...ugh. Disgraceful. -
Like others said, AD doesn't root you. You just have to go through an animation just like any other click power.

Quote:No, the challenge has not been fine. Maybe for you it has, but obviously not for others.Originally Posted by Johnny_Butane
The challenge level of the content has been fine for years and until just recently when the devs got a bug up their **** and decided they need to ape WoW and try for some 'dynamic' battle like CO.
What's so bad about adding more challenging end game content? It's not like they're ignoring everything else, just look at Going Rogue. As far as I know, one of the biggest complaints about this game throughout the MMO community is the lack of end game content. Again, why is it so bad to try and address this issue?
Removing stuff from the game and gimping yourself just to try to make the game harder gets old. Enhancements are a big part of the game I enjoy, but just to find a challenge I can't use them? I don't understand why you think our characters should get stronger, but not enemies along with us? Sounds like you won't be happy until you're able to stand still and one shot everything in the game with Brawl. -

Maybe some people would like to also play the new end-game content the way they choose, too?
Why do you care if people solo Trapdoor? Does that come into your house and kick over your soda or something? Grow up and stop insulting people who have different preferences and different experiences from yours.
I never said I cared if people can solo Trapdoor either. All I'm saying is that they can and I'm confident any SO'd character could pull it off. It's not my fault some people just want to be able to brawl everything to death rather than having to actually think. -
If you want control on when AD and PB activates, then don't put the power on auto. I don't want them made into a toggle because then you can't stack them.

Quote:There's finally a resemblance of somewhat more challenging content and people are complaining it's too hard. I don't get why people are complaining about the new 'direction' when 99% of the game is soloable and appeals to casual gamers.Originally Posted by Johnny_Butane
Because that's exactly what this is about. Munchkins want to show off with content others struggle with but they can boast about being "easy".
-
Yes, you can fire off an attack while you're moving through mid air. You can also jump cancel attack animations.

Decided to break out my SO'd DP/MM Blaster to try the mission out again and had no problems. To make it 'harder' I didn't use inspirations, temps, or drain psyche. Just took out the clones as soon as they spawned, why is this hard again?

You can get up to 500 Vanguard Merits from 1 ship raid, but I'm with you and don't find the raids very fun to do. I don't care if people can solo the Trapdoor mission because I'm confident that any character is capable of completing it without temp powers, using the right strategy.

Is /earth assault any good?

Quote:I've been trying to understand this sbane logic for a while now. I mean there is just no way you can get any better on a Psi/EM or Stalker, right?Originally Posted by SmokeSignal
Bad PvP'ers are bad. Truth. I don't think FotM toons are necessarily a learning roadblock as long as the player is practicing the right things, actively trying to get better, or has others that DO know what they're doing coaching them. I don't see how playing a less effective toon will help someone learn better than a non effective toon.

Quote:That may be true, but it doesn't mean the damage I was putting out was very high by any means. The clones are easy and can be taken out quickly to stop the regen buffs.Originally Posted by Arbegla
Actually Archer is ranked pretty high on the single target list. Right under Fire blast, due to high damaging, quick attacks, (and all of your single target goodness is at 80ft)
Even on a corrupter or defender, which have lower damage then blasters. Just so ya know.
The attack chain I used was Blazing Arrow > Snap Shot > Snap Shot. Being generous and calculating this chain with no gaps yields about 80 DPS and 96 DPS for the duration of Aim, which again I wouldn't categorize as 'uber' ST damage. Now, this is without factoring in Scourge, which really doesn't need to be factored in since if you can get Trapdoor below 50% in the first place, you could take him out without Scourge.
The point I'm trying to make is if the build isn't completely terrible, anybody should be able to take Trapdoor down solo, especially by using inspirations and pulling him into the lava. -
Comparing soloing AV's and Trapdoor is completely different. I'm confident that pretty much any build can solo Trapdoor without temp powers.
I just completed the arc on my Arch/Kin Corr, and yes he's a little harder than before and I actually had to take out his clones for the first time. However, I still didn't find it 'hard' like people are saying. This was with just spamming Blazing Arrow and Snap Shot while ignoring my kin powers so I didn't have to deal with redraw. Archery isn't exactly known for its uber ST damage. -
Quote:You're not down for a semi-challenging encounter, but you're down for an encounter that doesn't involve fighting at all?Originally Posted by Johnny_Butane
If it was an either-or proposition, that would be another story; brute force it and face a typical drawn out moderate-hard EB fight OR find a sneaky trick like dropping the roof on top of him or flooding the chamber with lava. That would actually be kind of cool.
But no, that's not what this is. This guy is roughly a typical EB in terms of power (when there are players, ATs and combos who that is already a tall order for) with the added hassle of the bifurcation schtick. I'm not down with that at all. -
The only set I'd really only go all ranged with is /Fire, even then I'd miss Incinerate.

Quote:Oh yeah, I didn't consider that. However, melee attacks usually do more damage, so if you're on a character who doesn't have melee attacks, there's no need to be in melee range. I'm hearing Blasters and Defenders getting hit by Total Focus when all you need to do is kite to avoid it, which isn't very difficult to do. Also, you could use a raptor pack or something to hover above him to make sure to avoid it since he's not able to fly to my knowledge.Originally Posted by Arbegla
the 1-shot code is kinda fickle. Its impossible to take over your hit points within 1 single burst of damage. But as trapdoor has energy attacks, and those do two damages (energy part, then smashing part IIRC) it is possible to be '1 shot' from him, say, from his total focus.
Granted, his ranged attacks do a lot less damage, have a much lower chance to stun, and as you have to locate clones anyways, its much better to keep him at range whenever possible. -
Quote:Purples are very useful and saying otherwise is just stupid, I'm sorry you had a bad encounter with the RNG. Next time you're on a squishy, just maybe don't go into melee range? That way you won't get one shotted, even though it's impossible to get one shotted.Originally Posted by Bad_Influence
If he hits right through purples, then this makes hash of everyone's boast to "just bring 50 Lucks in there and you'll be ok!" If he can hit through Lucks they are of limited utility - in fact I did not find them very useful.

Quote:Forced to get temp powers? No, if you need to use temp powers you either have a bad build or you are just bad, that's all there is to it.Originally Posted by Bad_Influence
Now being forced to go get temp powers is pretty silly IMO, for people so powerful they are about to become Incarnate, but whatever works.
-
Yep, I've been running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit since release and haven't had any issues running the game.
-
So, somebody I know has already duo'd the Apex TF in just over an hour and I'm sure the same can be done with Tin Mage. Yeah, I don't think they're too hard.

Quote:The issue with Rularuu was a bug and has since been fixed. However, Apex and Tin Mage are working like intended, so no, they're not cheating. Please stop with that idiotic notion.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
The game demonstratively cheats. For instance, the Aspect of Rularuu shoots and debuffs through his "Only Affects Self" Personal Force Field, even though the developers could not repeat it at the time, I was able to record it actually happening. Likewise the developers are trying to make a hard challenge for the players, but in doing so they have given the NPCs and the encounters an advantage that players can't counter.
An example in the Tin Mage TF are the invisible and intangible mine layers that continue to lay proximity bombs away from the AV, even if the AV is held or controlled. The mine layers are supposed to represent the AV tossing mines around. If that were the case, then the mine layers need to stop throwing mines away from the Director and stop while he is incapable of launching any attack.
Having one set of rules for the NPCs and another for the players is cheating. -

I think I read somewhere that you need to zone to see the changes. My problem was I wasn't noticing any changes in the combat window or while looking under the powers when I equipped and unequipped.
