One is the mother of the other. I believe Miss is the mother and Statesman's daughter.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yup.

Maiden Justice = Monica Richter, Statesman's wife, Lord Recluse's sister, who is deceased as of the 1980's
Miss Liberty = Alexis Cole, Statesman's daughter, still alive and presumably well.
Ms. Liberty = Jessica Megan Duncan, Statesman's granddaughter (remember, he ages very slowly), our resident Atlas Park cutie and founder of Longbow (against her mother's disapproval).

[/ QUOTE ]Worth pointing out. Statesman is Recluse's brother-in-law, and the Atlas Park trainer is his grand-niece

It's also worth noting that monsters with resistance apply that resistance against resistance debuffs. So if an enemy has 50% damage resistance, and you hit it with a 20% resist debuff, it will resist 50% of the debuff, so your 20% debuff will become 10%, giving the mob 40% total resist.

[/ QUOTE ]However, even with the reduced debuff, you're still doing an additional 20% damage to them.

50% res, 100 damage attack: 50 damage dealt
50% - 20% debuff (reduced to 10%; 40% final res), 100 damage attack: 60 damage dealt

50 * 1.2 = 60

We don't even have confirmation on 5 coming out

[/ QUOTE ]Yes we do. Positron said they're going to make a super booster for each origin. Whether there's more than 5 is up in the air.

But we're talking about Miracle and Numina, not about Performance Shifter. Performance Shifter affects "target". Miracle affects "self". Numina's affects "self".

I'm not certain whether Miracle/Numina will affect the Transfusion pet instead of you (since it is the pet casting the actual heal), but it wil NOT affect the enemy.

What...? O.o

Blessing of the Zephyr and Winter's Gift have some of the most amazing set bonuses in the game!

[/ QUOTE ]

Really? From what I see, if you have the complete set, you get Ranged Defense +3.13%, Energy and Negative Energy Defense +1.565%, Area Effect Defense +3.13%, and Cold Defense +1.565%. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see 3% improvement of anything as particularly "amazing".

[/ QUOTE ]3% defense isn't going to make you unkillable. However, Zephyr gives you the second strongest Ranged/AoE defense values (3.125% for Zephyr; 3.75% for Blood Mandate, Mako's Bite, and Numina's Convalescence), in a fraction of the number of enhancements required for other sets. Ranged Defense is normally a 6-slot bonus vs. 2 slots for BotZ, and AoE Defense is normally a 5-slot bonus (Razzle Dazzle has it at 6, Commanding Presence has it at 4) vs 3 slots for BotZ.

Edit: And Winter's Gift gives the highest Cold Resistance bonus - nearly double the Cold Resistance of several purple sets, and does it with 1 less slot. It's also got the highest movement-speed bonus, and a very useful special effect IO.

'Signature Boss Pets'. I suspect these are the same ones that turn up in the Mender Silos TF

[/ QUOTE ]Most of the sigs in the Mender Silos TF are actual AVs/Heroes (scaling down to EBs).

[ QUOTE ]
Not too long ago, they said there definitely was a connection between Warshade Romulus and ITF Romulus. Now they're saying that there definitely isn't. Even if I minded the Blue Steel jokes, that thread no longer holds as much water with me as it did.

[/ QUOTE ]When did they EVER say that there was a connection between the two? I've only ever seen a dev deny any intentional relationship between them.

[ QUOTE ]
If only there was a name for this sort of thing...

[/ QUOTE ]Hah! Joke's on you! I was only stuck there for an hour!

[ QUOTE ]
Back in the old days we had endurance recovery and drain as separate enhancements. I wonder if the combined enhancements is the cause of the two lines.

[/ QUOTE ]... did you read my post?

[ QUOTE ]
the set bonuses are really not good enough to justify using Zephyr instead.

[/ QUOTE ]What...? O.o

Blessing of the Zephyr and Winter's Gift have some of the most amazing set bonuses in the game!

[ QUOTE ]
They should rephrase the description to say it enhances "run speed, jumping, flight speed, OR teleport range".

[/ QUOTE ]But that would be a lie. The enhancements do work on all of those aspects. Just like an Acc/Mez HO enhances Hold, Stun, Immob, etc. all at the same time.

The fact that you don't have a power that has all of those aspects doesn't mean the enhancement is only enhancing one aspect.

[ QUOTE ]
Heros are the exact same thing as Archvillains, except for one thing: when your difficulty/team size cause them to scale down to Elite Boss status, their rank doesn't change in the targetting window.

[/ QUOTE ]I'm fairly certain when that happens, it's a bug. And it's not limited to Heroes, either. Good example: Ghost Widow in the Mender Silos TF, and in Sister Airlia's arc, is actually Boss level.

If you're unsure about the rank of the enemy you're about to fight, check their HP. AVs have much higer HP than EBs do.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm surprised to see another booster pack so soon. Are they hoping to start double-dipping every new issue?

[/ QUOTE ]y'know, the boosters are mostly just costumes (meaning: devs who don't work on art don't have to spend ANY man-hours on it, plus the SINGLE power to be made), and they said from the start they're gonna make a booster for each origin.

[ QUOTE ]
But how the hell has anyone made any Tri-Gun or Inuyasha characters?

[/ QUOTE ]Assault Rifle (or Thugs, petless)
Spiky hair (Yellow)
Trench Coat (Red)
Boots (Black)

Done.

Can't multiple KB attacks landing at once add together for a higher mag KB?

[/ QUOTE ]Yes, but they'd have to hit in the sam server tick, which is extremely unlikely.

With only one KB IO, you'll still get knocked around a bit, but it will be an uncommon occurrence. For regular enemies, I think it's limited to basically Fake Nemesis (who will also hit through the mag 8 of two IOs), and Storm Summoning Longbow bosses, which I think will stop with 2. (Note that while Storm Longbow can knock you over with Gale, Air Thorn Casters can't... they've got a weaker version of Gale)

Of course, there's also custom critters, I think a few AV/GMs, and Rikti Dropships. (Of course, Rikti Dropships can knock you around even if you've got strong mez protection)

[/ QUOTE ]

Out of curiosity..what's the magnitude of the KB caused by a Rikti Mothership bomb exploding?

[/ QUOTE ]Judging from Red Tomax, the Dropships' bombs, the UXBs, and the explosions from the grates on the mothership are all mag 300, non-resistable.

[ QUOTE ]
Have you LOOKED at the size of the 'giant' monsters on red side? I have a feeling they could fit in most anywhere no problem

[/ QUOTE ]In fact, I have

Not that it affects me, since I want it already, but is the Super Tailor available to people who don't buy the pack...?

QR

At a total guess, I'd say we're more likely to get an option "Turn off other player's power customization", than to get "remove buff".

Fly may be better because of the ludicrous distances you have to cross, and a teleporter's Endurance might not be able to handle it despite it being faster

[/ QUOTE ]I can say from personal experience that Jaunt: Endurance/Range + Blessing of the Zephyr: Run Speed, Jump, Flight Speed, Range/Endurance + Winter's Gift: Run Speed, Jump, Flight Speed, Range/Endurance + Invention: Range in Teleport, combined with Invention: Endurance Modification + Performance Shifter: EndMod + Performance Shifter: Chance for +End in Stamina will get you anywhere in the Shard you could possibly want to go. And back. Three times. While running Assault + Tactics + Temp Invulnerability + Hover. And still have a nearly full endurance bar when you're done.

[/ QUOTE ]

well, since most of my teleporters go with just a single Endrdx in it, and as long as they have stamina 3 slotted with SOs can go pretty much indefinitely, I think you're going overkill :P

[/ QUOTE ]Most likely, but those are the exact stats of Anscillect's Teleport and recovery when I did all those Shard TFs. (As Radiation Emission, I've also got Accelerate Metabolism, but I never used it to teleport around the Shard)

For those still with us (all of you who haven't already canceled your accounts due to impending nerfs related to your choice of power colors)...

[blink]THIS WHOLE THREAD IS A JOKE[/blink]

[/ QUOTE ]

For those who have cancelled, power customization nerfed your sense of humor by more than 20%.

[/ QUOTE ]
Reducing 0 by 20% still results in 0.

[/ QUOTE ]But the floor is -300%...

I really did miss you posting more often.

Must mean he was unlocked out of his cage, may mean his work with power customization is complete and I16 will be here a month after 15 hits live.

Or maybe I was banned from the game and forums for 'dupin rares'

[/ QUOTE ]I don't believe it. You're not working for CCP

They will work on you, not on the target.

Edit: Hmm... they might actually work on the Transfusion pet, not you, but they definitely won't work on the target

Yes. Note that Achilles' won't stack.

HOs are stronger enhancement; IOs can provide set bonuses
