    They were working on the authentication system at NCSoft again yesterday.

    So I'm betting forum accounts probably all defaulted to VIP just to make sure nobody lost access to anything.

I can just tough out the higher endurance cost of Footstomp.

    Also, observation: the difference in my resists from slotting Aegis at level 50 versus level 25 is a whopping 1.1%, generally. Sometimes, running the level 25s will make me immune to exemplar-scaling. And, of course, doing this I get to enjoy the softcap from lvl22 on up.

    No contest.

    Honestly, I dunno that you want to try "toughing it out".

    A rapidly recharging FS can be absolutely brutal to your blue bar.

    Here's an alternate option. Yeah, it's not leaving you as tight on S/L resist and your blue bar is lower but...

    Yesterday evening, I finished accumulating enough prestige in my base to finally drop a Dimensional Vortex (altitis is a beach sometimes).

    Now, Superheroes Anonymous on Protector is a dual Tier 3 Arcane/Tech-enabled base.

    I played with a shield tank and he strongly recommend it.

    Tough is a great boon to tanks. Depending on slotting, you'll have Smashing/Lethal resists in the high 40's without tough.

    Tough can tack another 20+% onto that.

    Weave, if you're building for defense, can be extremely valuable too.

    And, as for endurance issues. Uh. You're a Willpower Tank! Endurance should be a complete fricking non-issue for you if you're build decently.


    Just to give you a basic idea of what's possible, here's a crudely (it makes the numbers happen, but it's not pretty or optimal) built WP/SS that should be able to maintain a positive endurance bar balance unless their recovery is nerfed into the ground.

    Betting on the following:

    2: Beorn through the Elf Kingdom (ends heading down the river toward Esgaroth).

    3: Escaroth through Smaug, through the Battle of Five Armies, through the return to the Shire, maybe with a sneaky little intro to "young Frodo" after a short time-skip, roll credits)

    Honestly, just not a really realistic scenario. Pool power choices shore up deliberate holes in the various primaries/secondaries. Going "no pools" is like saying "I'm going rowing...with no oars".

    Quote:
    The only fake aspect of this test is that there are no fire only groups out there. But today, Invuln can be eaten alive by the new banished pantheon due to its near complete lack of smash/lethal.
    Wait what? Complete lack of smash/lethal? Does not compute.
    Can you restate this more clearly?

    Quote:
    My next video will explain better but Invuln on its own is not that strong against Smashing/Lethal.
    Hmm. With common IOs and no Tough. 70.8% vs S/L, and 31.5% against all but Psi? Vs WP's 48.2 and 11.8?

    WP has higher defense vs E/N/F/C/Psi. But, depending on mob size (3+ enemies) Inv will generally be hit less often.

    Quote:
    The thing is, Invuln can take the best advantage out of Tough. It's not Invuln that's too strong, itÂ’s Tough.
    While WP doesn't benefit quite as much from tough, it does. I will agree that Tough is an awesome boost.

    Quote:
    That gets compounded with too much content being Smash/Lethal heavy, but thatÂ’s a content issue that may be changing (Pretoria is rather well mixed in damage types, and so is the new Dark Astoria.) Have to see how far they take this in the future. But thatÂ’s a reason to ponder if Invuln "deserves a buff".
    Honestly, in Praetoria, it's reason for Inv to take the various passive resists earlier than they would in standard content. And, if you're playing in DA for anything more than street hunts, you have access to IOs and Incarnates. These pretty much erase most of the major survivability differences between Inv and WP.

    Quote:
    Big question: Invuln tanks are meant to tank. How are they meant to do so with so low elemental/energy performance?
    But it isn't low. Only when you compare it against a Granite stoner is it "low". Or in a single-aspect comparison against one of the primaries where that sort of defense/resist is accentuated (Fire, Electricity, etc).


    Quote:
    Invuln is similar, a lot of its survivability insane lot, is based off Invincibility and powered by enemies. I actually had to herd enemies in the AE with invulnerable mode turned on because the casters were killing my Invuln while herding them with their flares.
    You don't want to "stand back and pull" with an Inv tank. You want to dive into a group and lock them down. Then, if you need to move them, you reposition yourself close to them, but in the direction you want to go. And keep doing this to maintain your Invincibility buff.


    Quote:
    In retrospect: I wish the test had been even more pure Fire damage. This actually means Invuln would have performed even worse against a real pure fire test.
    The problem is, the test is unrealistic. Nowhere in the game are you finding that sort of scenario, outside of AE.

    Quote:
    I tested various combinations. Higher levels, higher count, etc. In all tests Invuln died faster.
    Congrats, you found a corner case where regen trumps resistance.



    Quote:
    I don't think Invuln will be buffing without a properly built case. Even with a case, it may not happen just due to the abuse of Smash/Lethal in the content plus the existence of Tough. If I was a dev I would also keep in mind Invuln can cap S/L thanks to that one pool power.
    This, right here, is precisely why Inv doesn't really need a buff. Pool powers shore it up where it matters.

    Quote:
    If I had full control of the game, there is two things I would do: one, Tough would be heavily "altered". It would provide minimal S/L resistance and make up for it with granting an HP bonus. For most people this would be a buff, for all but Invuln.
    Actually, considering that some builds can hard-cap HP already, this is a sub-optimal plan.

    Quote:
    Then I would review every single enemy group and make sure every group has a significant amount of elemental or energy damage.
    Which would require a significant rebalancing of the game and all powers. Not just Invuln.

    Quote:
    At this point, Invuln would be tweakable in a fair way.
    Invuln IS tweakable. This is what the IO system is for.
  13. Hyperstrike
    Both sets are mostly fine as-is.

    The only place where Invuln is truly and qualitatively superior is the aggro aura.
    The way WP's aggro aura is set up, it can be tough to hold aggro at times.

    Having it up more often gives you a nice, auto-hit ranged aggro-stripping "attack". So if you have aggro overflow, you don't have to go bombing around whacking enemies to try and grab their aggro. You simply click on the guy across the screen, belch at him, and watch him get so peeved at you he forgets your teammate is there.

    It's also WONDERFUL for helping arrest "They're beating the crap out of me! MUST RUN AWAY!" on some mobs.



    Quote:
    Side-by-side, with Haymaker toggled on, their performance is fairly similar. Actually, my numbers are slightly better overall. Still, you achieve them in a different way, and I really like those Crushing Impact set bonuses.


    Also, something else to think about, reverse the slotting choices for Jab and Haymaker. This way you're getting the +Res AND the tanker's -Res debuff from your fastest recharging attack.

    Quote:
    Edit/Appendix: Added a revised build, taking many of the above observations into account. The result is fairly close to the actual intent (IE: powers in the right order, most enhancements at the right level to permit exemplaring, etc... though Reactive Armors will be SBEs for better scaling and since Reactive Armors are cheap).
    If this is going to be one of your main, oft-played tankers, and you have the spare cash for the store, yeah SBEs are the way to go.

    Still questioning your decision to go Res, Res/End, End, Res/End/Rech with your Reactive Armors though. Your End consumption is floored, but your resistance will fall off faster as you exemp.

I want to start a little closer to the softcap, with a bit of buffer against debuffs (we don't have 96% DDR).

    Though a bit of Psionic resistance wouldn't hurt.

    I'm considering this, now:

    It's weaker that yours in all it's defenses, though it still softcaps S/L/F/C, and can reach 59% in most with a single Luck. I probably should pad out E/N, but I don't see how to do that without sacrificing a bunch of Psi Resist. Actually, my resists are slightly better overall (with upswing from the Tanker proc) and my DP a bit stronger.

    Also, Hyperstrike, yours probably is a bit more flexible, owing to the range on LBE and Spring Attack. Actually, Spring Attack looks like a lot of fun. How does it compare to Lightning Rod? Or Energy Torrent, in utility?

    Edit: I'm also happier with how the above build looks to Exemplar, since the earlier Resists will cope for not having soft-capped defenses until the late 30s for F/C/E/N.
    1: You took Unstoppable. BAD INVY! BAAAAAD!
    2: You put an extra slot in Unstoppable.
    3: That's actually a fairly AWESOME KO blow!
    4: You're not capped for S/L resist.
    5: IMNSHO, you've compromised your build for a piddling amount of psi resist. Yes, on paper, you're more durable. In practice, you just aren't going to notice the difference. A single Luck will make more difference than 21% Psi resist.
    6: Energy Torrent? You're an Invuln tank. You WANT enemies crawling over themselves to get at you. That's how you stay capped.

    7: You've got massive slot-waste in your resists. All of it netting you less than 2% extra resist in most cases.

    Your most efficient resist slotting is:

    Active Toggles: (Temp Invuln, Unyielding, Tough)
    4 Reactive Armor (Res, Res/End, Res/Rech, Res/End/Rech)

    Passive Autos: (Resist * powers)
    3 Aegis (Res, Res/End, Res/Rech)

    8: Taunt is criminally underslotted.

    If you're soloing, it's not AS important. But if you're teaming, you really want to take and slot Taunt up.

    9: I know this is a "just slap it together in Mids and worry about power order later" build. But DO take some time to choose out a more appropriate power order at some point. Take RPD MUCH earlier. But you can put off ResEnergy/ResElements till later.

    10: In Foot Stomp, three slot Eradication and three slot Cleaving blow. Brings your E/N within .5% of soft cap and gives the entire power a better overall performance profile.

    11: Honestly, you're relying too much on Enhancement Boosters to bolster your build. And in all the areas where it counts (Def, Resist, etc), you're gaining less than a percent (in many cases, less than half a percent).

    Here's a quickie "I fiddled with your build a bit".

    Compare it side by side to your build.

    Okay. On my personal build, I have enough recharge that I pretty much DO have a full attack chain. Granted, if I were somehow slowed to the point of oblivion, I have my vet powers to fall back on in a pinch... But still.

    LBE is just part of my attack chain. All the time.
    Granted, Spring Attack isn't up as often as I'd like...
    But it's a nice combat opener (fits in with how I envision Hyper "dropping in" on a mob..."*WHAM!* OH! HAI!") and a great repositioning tool (since it's effectively a teleport, it allows me to get out of spots where things are blocking direct egress or out of mob groupings so I can assist others.

    The fact that it does damage on top of that and knocks things down is just triple-chocolate icing..

    As for "fairly little concern for End". I dunno about that. I eschewed set bonuses or raw improvement via common IOs in my defense-based toggles for endurance reduction. I also took Energy Mastery (basically high level endurance band-aid to the stars). Also, my attacks are fairly nicely set up for EndRed. And I have Conserve Power slotted up. It's rarely used. But if I decide to "Scrapper up" and hit buttons like a jackrabbit on crack and caffiene overload, I hit CP and GAIN endurance throughout the entire duration of the power.

    Also, I have my accolades for boosting Endurance gain too.
    So when CP isn't up and I find I'm running low, even with a pair of PerfShifter procs in there, I can hit Geas of the Kind Ones and Eye of the Magus for a short, crashless God Mode (9.62 End/Sec, 85-90% defense and 60+% resists on anything non-SL or Psi?).

    Yes? Please?

    If you want to LOTG PLUS hasten, steal two slots from Conserve Power and one from Rage (you'll still be SOLIDLY perma with about 48 seconds of double-Rage).

    You can then three-slot Combat Jumping, Invincibility, Weave and Tough Hide.

    This will give you 40% more Regen, and an extra 84HP (which will help increase the benefit of that regen) as well as the 30% recharge boost.

    Your endurance consumption will only go up .12 end/sec.

    If you're not that worried about endurance (and on my build, you really shouldn't be), and want to increase accuracy on your powers that slot KinCombats, go Nucleolus Exposure instead of the Mako Quad. Or, if you don't want to sacrifice the recharge, go with the Crushing Impact Acc/Dam/Rech triple.

    As for Kyr's built. Yes. It's impressive...until you come out of Stealth. You're STILL going to have the problem with Sorrows enemies in DA. Their debuffs will just whack you down FASTER.

    Also, as my standard piece of advice.

    SCREW UNSTOPPABLE!

    You're building out a soft-capped Invuln tank. Unstoppable has exactly NO place in that build. It's a click-power that's not going to save you if you're already so far gone that it's chopping through you with capped defenses. Maybe, if it didn't blast 100% of your endurance when it crashed, it would actually have some use. But it doesn't. Find a more useful power selection.

    I want something that will play similarly, but will be fairly good in all forms of play. Specifically, I want to be able to operate effectively both in Incarnate-level play and while Exemplared. Inventions are new to me, as is the Incarnate content, so I could use some help.

    I'm thinking of running something like this:

    I'm shooting for enough Defense I-softcap with just a bit of Luck. I may have gone overboard. I also dropped Medicine figuring that with such strong Defense it may not be necessary.

    Either way, your advice would be appreciated.

    (Bonus question: Do SBEs also require an Invention License?)

    It's soft capped to S/L/E/N/F/C without using Maneuvers. Dull Pain is perma. I left Maneuvers as your level 50 power so that, when needed, you could use it for incarnate level situations.

    Anywhosit, most of the heavy lifting was done by Hyper so I can't take most of the credit for this.

    Defense capped to everything save Psi (which is covered by 25% Ranged and 22.8% AoE) with one enemy in range.

    Currently I could trade out one set of KinCombats and stay S/L capped.
    Were I to trade from Spiritual to Agility, I could drop TWO sets of Kin Combats and maintain S/L cap.

Based upon the description, it can boost up my team mates defenses. Physical perfection looks interesting because of the endurance modification. Suggestions please! Thank you

    Question: What does your build currently look like?

    If you can post a copy of it here we could make some suggestions to help optimize it for you.

    Wait.

    Gasoline fueled but runs on a diesel engine?

    Uh. WHAT?

    Smile-based firing system?

    No smoking?

    Looks at the calendar. Yeah. Late AFD joke.

    Speaking of birthdays...

    I just got pimp-slapped (verbally) by a girl in a sandwich shop yesterday.

    She was joking around that I should be watching the Olympics.
    I commented that the last time I watched the Olympics, it was on a crappy little TV in the treatment clinic I worked in while I was over in Korea in '92.
    She turns and looks at me and goes "I wasn't even alive then..."

    Thing is, with a tanker-wannabe blaster, it's all about "mitigation" rather than aggro control.

    In that case, Energy with it's basic "Get the **** off of me!" KB potential is actually a good thing since there really isn't any appreciable resistance built in.

    Pfft! This thing is going to take CoH, toss it over its knee and spank the living *POOP!* out of it!

    The only slowness you'll notice will probably be zoning due to the laptop-grade hard drive. And even that isn't all that bad (and you can upgrade to an SSD at some point if it's really important).

    Yep. Took a LOT of DrinkEnriche emotes to get them to shut up afterward...

    Honestly, were I you, I'd simply take the default option for now.

    That'll leave you with seed funding for a beefier card down the road.

    As it is, you're going to be seeing a significant jump in performance.

    And I'd still keep an eye on nVidia solutions. For CoH, they're just less problematic overall.
