Quote:What buff is a short recharge with 2 minute duration aside from Speed Boost? I can't think of any right now.Originally Posted by Signpost
IMHO.... change the 2 minute ones to 4 minute ones. Buffing 7 people every 2 (or less) minutes...
Increase Density is 1 minute, partially to prevent griefing with the power's -speed. Clear Mind/Clarity/Enforced Morale/Thaw last 90s. These powers are NOT necessary to have 100% uptime, even if you're able to. Melee characters, for example, have no need for them in the general case (exceptions exist, such as tanking Ghost Widow). And often it's perfectly fine to use them reactively. O2 Boost lasts 1 minute, but it doesn't have the broad specturm as the other five, and it's still an OK heal. It's most useful for people using an Awaken inspiration, to remove their stun and heal them a bit.
Fortitude, Frostwork, and Forge last 2 minutes, but their long recharge time makes it impossible to buff a full team anyway. -
Also, check out the Comic and Hero/Villain Culture board. While it is in some senses a 'general discussion' place, there is a fair amount of comic discussion that goes on there. A quick glance at the first page suggest 8 comic-book realted threads right now. (I make no guarantee about tangents.)

A better inf sink, I think, would be to encourage more base use (via more things to do with bases, both for full SGs and solo SGs), along with a better inf => prestige conversion ratio. One that people would be willing to pay.
In addition, perhaps a way to contribute inf to the SG which may only be spent on buying prestige. Perhaps I don't have enough inf to buy a prestige conversion, but I can donate 10,000 inf now, and 150,000 next week.
Another option would be to increase Wentworth/Black Market's profit margins from 5% to 10% or 15%. The market's cut mostly decides the lower end of an item's price (few things sell for less than 5 inf now), rather than an effect on the upper value. -

You throw CoH-isms into everyday conversation.
You've decoded the Praetorian Clockwork and have created your own dictionary.

I would use level pacts if my GF's computer would run the game faster than 4fps...

While it takes a little bit more legwork, you can also check out the powers that various AVs/EBs have on City of Data. For example, Mako (Recluse's Victory version) and Mako (Regular version).
The unfortunate problem doing it in this fashion is that sometimes critters share powers from a different powerset. While Mako uses the 'Mako' powerset, he also uses the 'AV Resistances' powerset, which is the PToD. In other cases the problem can be exacerbated further, but AV-class enemies are the least problematic in this fashion. -

This example is exactly what I'm familiar with. I'm unfamiliar with sleet and don't know what can be slotted in it, so that's why I avoided the question.

Defenders and Corruptors use the exact same Power Mastery pool. The fully-qualified name of the power is Epic.Power_Mastery.Total_Focus for both ATs.

The question wasn't about Achilles Heel in Snow Storm, but rather "any proc" in Snow Storm. For example, Impeded Swiftness: Chance for Smashing Damage.

Quote:The ally-affecting portions of Kinetics are autohit (as are all buffs). Fulcrum Shift is not autohit, but the pseudopet appears to have no attack vectors at all (so, while it can miss, defense buffs on the target don't help). The rest use Ranged_Attack.Originally Posted by Energizing_Ion
Yeah I've always noticed when playing my main (EI Kin/Rad Defender) that even when an AV goes into "godmode" (Elude/etc) and no one can hit the AV, I can usually land Transfusion and Transfusion 90% of the time.
In fact, thinking about it...I think I can land Siphon Speed, Siphon Power and FS as well....but not 100% sure about the last 3. -
Quote:Yes. AV/EB enemies have no defense inherent to their rank, only defense granted from their powers or powers of their nearby allies.Originally Posted by Bosstone
Well, that's going to vary by individual enemy. I'm open to being corrected on this, but I'm pretty sure you can consider all enemies to have 0% defense unless they're listed as having a power that provides +Defense
For example, Captain Castillo summons a Force Field Generator, which provides him with +def. The Nemesis Lieutenants near Nemesis will grant him +def from Vigilance when they die. Sister Psyche has Force Field powers. Mynx has Super Reflexes powers. -
Quote:Off the top of my head, Fearsome Stare only uses the Negative_Attack vector. The only powers I can think of with one single attack vector that haven't been mentioned are a few of the Kinetics powers, which use Ranged_Attack, and therefore don't meet the criteria for the question.Originally Posted by Aett_Thorn
This. There maybe one or two others, but I think those are Hamidon's "untyped" attacks, so nothing will help you there. But I'd say that if you're softcapped to Melee/Ranged/AoE, going for Psi isn't going to help you that much. There are likely better things to build for at that point.

As Father Xmas said, why are you playing a game at work? Especially if your work is already blocking so much, presumably they don't want you wasting your time like that.

Quote:Invite your friends to join you.Originally Posted by Airhammer
I basically want to get him out of Praetoria so I can start teaming with my friends.
Primal characters can reach Praetoria via Pocket D. Then you'll be with your friends, and as a bonus, you'll have a team, which gets you faster levels, and therefore out of Praetoria. -
SG's response applies to question 1, as well.
-
yes, it does apply

You just want to spread 2b over each anyd every character you own without logging in, don't you?

Quote:Fire Control doesn't have a "smoke" customization option. It has a power literally named "Smoke".Originally Posted by Vexen777
Thank-you everyone for all the replies under short notice. I will check the fire control to see if there is this so called "smoke" customization option. Then probally go with a dark set as I usually represent myself with that field in many of the AT.

Quote:Now you're just making me drool.Originally Posted by DreadShinobi
If they ditched the pet it would probably be replaced with Chill of the Night
Twilight Grasp: -5% tohitQuote:Originally Posted by Steel_Shaman
Just some numbers to think about:
Hurricane provides -30% to hit
Earthquake is -10% to hit
Steamy Mist is 3.75% defense
Darkest Night: -15% tohit
Fearsome Stare: -15% tohit
Chill of the Night: -30% tohit
Shadow Fall: +3.75% def
These are what the Controller base values would be, assuming no changes to the scalars. If they leave Dark Servant rather than using DreadShinobi's suggestion, the Chill of the Night value remains the same, too (and you add a second copy of Twilight Grasp and Darkest Night). -
Did someone call? -
Quote:But... fear...Originally Posted by Zombie Man
Heck, at this point they can simply port Dark Miasma Buff to Dark Miasma Control, add a damage component to some attacks and call it done. Then all they need to do is to lock out Controllers from choosing Dark Miasma/Dark Miasma.

Indeed, Whardel. You should move your character's page to either http://ouroportal.com or http://virtueverse.com or your supergroup's website, if they have one.

Wonderslug hit the nail on the head. This suggestion is already in effect, and has been since day one.
In point of fact, I'm not certain the powers system can support Effect A protecting you from Effect B. As Wonderslug said, all protections are merely the inverses of the effect they're protecting you from. Hell, it was even too much trouble to add in Toxic defense, think about the developer reaction to defense magnitude.
