EBGames and Gamestop are the exact same company, as of last year I think. Also, I am in the states, and my wife's physical copy is finally coming today at some point.

Yeah Build Up is not needed in the low levels at all. I would never wait on Placate though.

Oh I didn't know.

Yeah I know, I was really hoping we could get a new Going Rogue kit. It seems we can't send PMs to Niviene to ask, either.

One thing I don't get - now that Burn and Oil Slick have no fear, why must Ignite have it?

Side note, I wonder now with Burn and Oil Slick not having any +fear, why Ignite still has to have it...

Ok, I uninstalled it then ran that one driver cleaner program. I only got around 2000 points above where I was with the 8800 gts in 3Dmark 2006, but I got around triple what I was getting in Passmark for the graphics test. I noticed a big difference when playing Global Agenda.

I think I might be more bottlenecked now with my processor.

Nah heh I am sure I will be fine, I used to keep up with this stuff constantly until after years of doing it I just figured out it was depressing me, since I couldn't get what I wanted when I wanted it.

Now I usually just look stuff up when I can finally make some purchases. Should be delivered later today.

Hmm.... I wouldn't need to reinstall drivers at all, would I... I already have the latest installed for my 8800 GTS 512, unless you think I should.

Thanks, the power requirements are getting kind of ridiculous for these cards. I can't imagine what people do to run triple SLI setups.

I am getting a GTX 470 on this coming Tuesday, a week before Going Rogue. Here is my system specs:

Intel Wolfdale Core 2 Duo E8400 6 meg cache 3.0 Ghz 45 nm
4 gigs (3.25 in 32 bit) DDR 2 1066 Crucial Ballistix ram
EVGA 8800 512 meg GTS PCIe 2.0 HDCP (G92 version)
650 watt BFG PSU SLI ready
Asus P5E motherboard X38 Intel chipset
Cooler Master CM 690 tool-less case
Soundmax SupremeFX II PCIe sound card
Dlink Xtreme N PCIe wireless card
150 gig WD Raptor 10000 RPM drive
1 Terabyte WD 7200 RPM drive
NEC DVDRW
Lite-On DVDRW
Logitech G9 Laser mouse 3200 dpi
Windows 7 Home Premium

What kind of fps increase should I be expecting for most games? I was initially worried when I built this PC 2 1/2 yrs ago because the fastest Nvidia card was the 8800 GTS 512 (G92) which was a refresh from the previous year's 8800 technology.

EDIT: also, will my PSU be enough for this all?

6 slotted it can be decent, with hasten.

For a long time I've been wanting triage beacon and spirit tree to grant +recovery on top of the regen, which would not be overpowered, would make it more attractive, and would offer slotting options.

Castle has told me directly (I still have the pm) that he is waiting for a tech request he put in to be finished in order to make dimension shift/black hole more useful and desireable.

I made a merc/ff years ago and last night I popped on with him and finally got him to 22.

My god this combo is boring and SLOW. I saw this thread tonight and wanted to chime in. Mercs are definitely the worst mm set in the game. Is the mm attacks supposed to make up for the pets? I didn't look at the numbers.

Actually the general question brings up a good point - with less than two weeks to go, will there be an open beta at all?

Yes, a corruptor adds damage above a defender, so that first sentence is wrong already. Is the defiance argument discounting scourge altogether? I don't see it mentioned anywhere, and it wasn't our conversation - I was replying to Le Blanc. Comparing top damage classes from blue to red is blaster vs brute anyhow.
