-res, no question.

The entire AR set was rebalanced due to Ignite, and Ignite got nerfed on recharge because it was just so insane.
We were bragging in the corruptor forum about using web envelope+fulcrum and then hitting Ignite, doing over 500 damage every 4 seconds (it used to recharge in 3 seconds but took 4 seconds to animate.)
The devs saw this and did an overhaul to AR due to Ignite being so crazy awesome. -
AR/Kin/Mace.
Web Envelope+Fulcrum Shift+Ignite+Flamethrower+Full Auto+etc. -
Normally I would say two fire/rads but the detoggle potential is kinda high. If you could overcome that issue the two of you would absolutely cream mob groups and having AM up often would be nice.
...but to be honest, a brute/kin corruptor duo is really hard to beat. I should know - some years ago I was part of a superteam sg called Brutal Speed. It was ridiculous - all fire and electric brutes combined with kinetic corruptors. I miss those days. -

I find traps lacks any kind of fun factor on fast teams
I have to agree though - it's more of a matter of playstyle. There is a thread in the Defender forum about trying to balance the primary powersets and TA is the first one mentioned in needing a buff. I am not completely sold on that idea to be honest. It has to work harder than other sets, I agree.
While leveling up, Traps gets worse at high level whereas TA gets better, IMO. I don't think anything is skippable in TA, but if I had to pick I would probably dismiss Flash arrow as the to-hit debuff is pretty minimal. Yeah, yeah, yeah - I know it adds up and isn't resistable and all that, but I really think it is the only power in the set that doesn't have the potential to have a large impact.
Traps make you a far tougher toon than TA - it's not even a question. Mez protection and defense combined with a summon that can take alphas for you is no joke. -
Corruptors can solo better than defenders in my experience.
...but yeah, team more. See if you can grab Disruption arrow soon. It works exactly like sonic grenades from Longbow. -
Yeah when you get Acid and Disruption going it is quite noticeable. Mobs take more damage than when they are in tar patch or even freezing rain.
-
Energy Blast was water blast during development. So very tired of hearing requests for a water set.
I think a Traps Control set would be wicked. We could really use a tech control set anyway, even though you can kinda imagine the other sets as being tech-based.
Sonic melee and armor would also be sweet. -
No prob.

Quote:Maybe we should clarify, just in case - I was referring to the COH Freedom and not the server, but perhaps you are doing the same - just checking.Originally Posted by Amy_Amp
On Freedom I got Sneakers, who only wears plain clothes and has a bio of "Tights are for sissies," and Mousetraps(Bots/traps) where I named all of the bots after cheeses.

Quote:That post wasn't to you. The sentence after your quote was to you only, and it was after reading your entire post. That's still my question. Now however you have gone ahead and twisted things. Good job buddy.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
You ask a question, I ask a counter-question and you come back with a passive-aggressive "Oh, woe is me!" personal attack. And then you say you won't "do that" to new players? Because, what? Being passive-aggressive and turning their questions into accusations is better than giving them an alternate view point?
Yeah, something tells me I'll be nicer to new players than you'll be.
*edit*
Also, I DID answer your question, which you would have noticed had you read past the first sentence: -
Yeah

And if we didn't think finding a name that hasn't been take was a problem before or at any point in the game's history? Then what?
I love the idea of asking a question and getting attacked as a vet and by other vets. It shows what the new influx of players will be up against when they are not asking me questions, as I won't do that to them.
Thanks for the link Forbin - Zwill makes it sound like there is more info coming - perhaps account labels will be added to our names? -
Quote:Cute idea, but they did mention lowering the portal level requirement to 14.Originally Posted by Soul Plague
Hmm. I just had a thought. Since we're manipulating time, effectively being exposed to time travel and all... do we or allies or foes affected by our powers automatically get access to the Ouroboros portal?
-
...after the last name sweep which was years ago, I've even spent time looking through a thesaurus on occasion and still come up with names that someone else also thought of.

I'd just like to welcome every one to our THIRD thread on this subject this week.

Quote:Now that is a VERY interesting idea.Originally Posted by Chase_Arcanum
I'd support primary/secondary respecs IF:
- It started you back down at level one, but gave you a "bonus patrol xp" power (akin to the vet reward) with enough charges to roughly last up to the level you were when taking that power.
That way, it could be used for people that want to keep their badges while requiring the person to learn the new aspects of the power at an accelerated leveling rate.
To the OP: I hope not. This game has always, ALWAYS encouraged alts. If they were to do it, it better cost real money, because the respec idea will cost Paragon studios real money. No, really - think about it for a second. -
Curious, how did you find out it was her birthday?
Anyways, HAPPY BIRTHDAY fellow defender fan! -
Quote:Ah, but the question was how.Originally Posted by bAss_ackwards
No to that.
There!

Oh please do this.
Players, if you thought finding a name that hasn't been taken a problem before, you haven't seen anything yet.
Better start getting ready to add numbers to your names. -
'More fun' is way too subjective.
-
I don't see why not - EMP Arrow already is a long lasting defender aoe hold.

Quote:Yeah I usually use Flash before I even get to the mob and didn't include it in the chain.Originally Posted by Robert_B
I always open with flash myself, I'm playing with (mostly) a Fire/Emp troller, (she uses smoke), since the -Tohits stack along with Fort it helps keep me a little safer...

Quote:Yeah well adrenaline boost and accelerated metabolism does it too, not just speed boost.Originally Posted by BrandX
Eh...then the set starts to sound to much like Kinetics. Which gives +END/+RCH.
I say give us the +RCH and lets us fix our end issues with slotting/accolades.
