Bug it.

Kinda wish Sonic would be added to concepts. I could totally see Sonic Armor and Melee/weapons.
-
I went KM/EA for a stalker and I need to say EA really isn't that bad at all. There are changes coming for EA with Issue 21 too, so we will see how that goes.
Also, for the person comparing KM to Street Fighter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mWbeczOswI No, I did not create that character, but that is what AS looks like from KM. -

Won't the ally debuff draw aggro to the MM, also? -
Jibikao - I will probably wait to see what it is like in beta before I do that so I don't end up nagging him, but I agree.

It does seem like this thread didn't fall on deaf ears. Thanks, Jayboh, for starting it up. Also, thanks to everyone who participated.

Storm and poison don't have the best heals.

Yeah they said it works now, in so many words.
-
Heck no, O2 Boost is still better than a buffed Alkaloid.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Envenom and Weaken changes make them similar to how Acid Arrow works, even in animation. -
Pretty obvious that /sonic MMs are going to be hurting without the Medicine pool IMO.
Would be glorious to have disruption on a brute thug or even on ninjas, although they would benefit more from ff. -
Quote:Ah, but I was answering as a whole, to give them a bunch of AOEs is not the best idea - and lightning rod is a very safe power, throwing mobs down upon strike.Originally Posted by Zem
Stalker Elec Melee proves that wrong in a big way. It's a fantastic set on Stalkers who want to deal AoE damage.
-
Got this straight from Synapse via PM:
-Alkaloid: I've increased the potency of this power by a fair amount.
-Envenom & Weaken: I've added a small splash around this power. The initial target receives the full effect of the debuff while nearby targets received half of the effect.
-Poison Trap: This power now has an initial hold, has a recovery debuff and deals minor toxic damage. -
Well, the main problem with that idea is you want to fundamentally change a stalker's role. Lots of people play Stalkers like a Scrapper but to want to give them more AOEs might not be the best idea considering how much squishier they are in comparison.

i21 confirmed for issue of the year for all possible years. Broadsword brutes? **** YES. Energy Aura for scrappers being not a piece of ****? **** YES.
poison corruptors/controllers? LOL WUT
Also, I have to admit Energy Aura for stalkers seems to be pretty decent. It's prone to cascade failure like most defense sets but I don't get all the hate at the moment. -
Sounds like our hard work might have paid off!
-
Please oh please oh please someone point Synapse and Black Scorpion to the Official Poison Revamp Thread. The set needs additional changes than what is listed and you might as well get that in there before more archetypes are saddled with the problems!

So I have to wait till next year for them to really fix Stalkers?
/hides
Having loads of fun with a KM/EA stalker at the moment. EA is not as bad as I thought it would be either - we'll see what happens with the new changes coming to it that was just announced. -
Quote:Was this on the stream? Hell this would pretty much fix everything. I could easily live with this if it is true.Originally Posted by Dr_Darkspeed
From what I heard: The heal is going to be stronger, the two single target debuffs get AoE (with half effect to any secondary targets), Poison trap does hold to start instead of sleep (not sure on that bit) and has another debuff (-recovery, maybe?)

Quote:I was silly and didn't check the thread until now - just a minute ago I addressed this thread with Synapse, stating I've PMed Black Scorpion a couple of times with no response.Originally Posted by Dromio
Poison is going to be Proliferated. I'm trying to ask about MM Poison in the UStream chat but the chat isn't working right for me.
Update: I got through and Synapse said that Poison for MM's has been updated in beta, but he didn't specify what has been changed! It's beta, so it's subject to change, but it sounds like there might be changes out there for us!
Wooo!
This is great news and I hope... HOPE that they address the issues at least in part. Guess we just need to wait until beta invites hit.
IF YOU GET INTO THE BETA please, please take some time to review what they have done and make it a point to address issues within the official thread they usually make. Now is the time to get this garbage set taken care of once and for all!!! -
Done. No problem! Any of you PM Black Scorpion about this thread? I have, twice.
-
Yeah but then that would affect other sets too - might as well get rid of hide for stalkers, power siphon for km, etc. It's unfortunate but honestly I don't see them altering it because it works good enough for balance.

Quote:Well, I was referencing the list as a set of powers that the majority love the most in those sets, as opposed to the reason most of us are discussing, where we protect the few that enjoy poor powers.Originally Posted by Leo_G
Not sure what was funny. I'm damned serious.
Heck, I have zero Super Strength characters simply because I *KNOW* Rage is ridiculous and I refuse to use something that broken. -
Quote:Haha...Originally Posted by Leo_G
Well, if they're breaking the cottage rule, the first thing I want them to do is fix Spines!
Who thought it was a good idea to put a damage toggle in this set!? What? Just because it's attacks are stupid slow, that makes it balanced? Screw that!
*REMOVE* Quills and replace it with Thorn Trops. Fix Barb Swipe so someone will actually *WANT* to take it, make Impale and Spine burst faster and fix all this nonsense with it's plethora of secondary effects. Either it slows, it immobilizes or it does Toxic DoT. Pick *ONE* to spread across the whole set and add one of the other effects to a couple of the other powers.
Next, *REMOVE* Rage from Super Strength and replace it with Build up. No clue who thought perma BU was actually balanced. Then beef up the tier 1/2 powers a bit. That's all.
After that, *FIX* Seeds of Confusion. It recharges entirely too fast for its duration.
Afterwards, why the heck does Ninjas have an Oni!? Get *RID* of that thing, and just make him a ninja that uses fire powers. I'm sure the ridiculous Robotics could stand to get rid of their immortality but not sure what to do with that set.
Dark Miasma? That'll never get proliferated with all that control. *REMOVE* either the ST hold or the cone Fear. Keep the cone Fear's -ToHit, just take away all that fear. And not sure why anyone would think an auto-hit AoE stun + PBAoE rez could fly on a Controller. Get *RID* of it and either turn it into a ST stun + PBAoE rez, or just a ST rez.

All to often I have to work my way up from the Tanker section to protect one of my characters from changes to a power that somebody is either clearly not with it on with their characters or clearly not happy with somebody elses idea of fun. Then I get asked for my reasons, the fact that I like the way something already is, is reason enough.
'Yes!'
'Prove it.'
