  1. Agreed. I'd also like to see higher merits for harder settings, but that can wait.
  2. Many thanks for the advice both of you (even though it's not my thread heh)

    It is quite possible, on a large assortment of defenders, controllers, corruptors, dominators, and MMs. Possibly others as well.
  4. h a p p y b i r t h d a y !
  5. I'm also on the fence about Fiery Embrace for this combo... can't decide one way or the other.
  6. Haha, if only I knew what that meant.

    With large numbers you dont need that level of precision.
    I did one with only 7 people in zone on villains, with no directions given except someone shouting the location of the GM when he spawned. We just attacked whatever we felt like, and had no problems.

    For exemplaring purposes, it's true that it doesn't matter where it ends up. But while levelling, it makes a big difference.
    He already has one with the shield, so it's irrelevant.

    If you place a level 30 (max lvl) into One with the Shield, then you'll lose it's benefits

    If you put it into True Grit, you'll have it all the way down to level 27 (-3 to the IO).

    Personally, I agree with putting it into True Grit.
    In fact, I just put one into my brand new, just hit level 27 Shield Tank.
    2 level 30 common Resist IO and 1 level 30 SP Resist/Def IO costs me 0.3% resistance and gains me +3% Defense (bringing total defense up to just under 30% without any other IO bonuses yet...don't have any other sets slotted yet)
    Read the wiki link:

    Global: This enhancement functions as a set bonus and is always on, even if in a toggle that is turned off or even if the power is greyed out because of exemplaring. However, the bonus of this Special IO is turned off if one exemplars more than three levels below the level of the Special IO itself, unless it's from a PvP Set, in which case, level doesn't matter and it will always work.

    False.

    I have been pvping in this game since the arena opened, and although the many changes sucked, theres not much anyone short of a dev can do about it.

    I used the *pre i13 exscuse* myself for not pvping..but it boils down to this : If you still like pvp, arent afraid of getting wrecked learning the 2.0 pvp, and want to still have fun outside of content, i13+ has nothing to do with it.
    i13 has plenty to do with it. I don't enjoy it.
  12. Get me my i12 back and I will be happy to oblige

    Let's say you're set for +1/+3, and you're on a team of three, and you're doing your mission. Will the mission spawn for a team of three, no matter what the difficulty is set to, since there's three physical people on it, or will it now adjust to spawn like a team of 6?

    And part two of the question: Is there an upper limit to how high the adjusted team size goes, as far as spawns? Say the mission holder is set to /+8 and the team is full, will it spawn insanely-sized mobs?
    1st question: it will spawn for 5 (since x3 is 2 more than the team size).

    2nd question: the upper limit is x8.

    fire/cold is my favorite corruptor. It was a little hard to solo before sleet though.

    Lol judging by these resposes, the only fad ill have started is to neg rep people who ask for opinions...and they didnt even leave a humorous comment for me to laugh at.




    It was 2am when i made up those builds so my brain wasnt functioning at full capacity. Though, it is rare when it does.

    I re-did 'em and came up witha way to fit in CJ with all 3 passives and some more end red.
    I wanted some vertical control for the inside of mish's, goin to and from mish's i could care less.


    Thank you all for your advice, it was most appreciated.
    I know you have a lot of input already, but my thought is this: I'd skip weave, tough, or focus chi before I skipped the passives.

    That said, you typically are on my team when doing itfs, meaning you are way above soft cap. So up to you really.

    This is not a good idea. His ranged attack is channelgun, which drains all of your endurance.
  17. Have you tested this? I'd be interested to know what the dps is in practice, as that tends to vary from theory.

    Also, might something like a fire/kin corruptor beat this? (assuming you can surround yourself with minions or something). You'd have saturated fulcrum which would likely make a big difference, and scourge of course.
  18. I like doing mayhems on +4/x8. It's insanely hard!
  19. Also of note is that dominate has no positional vector, so it often hits through high defense/god mode enemies.
  20. I'd go with the brute. I haven't done any number comparisons, but based on observation the brute seems to be quite a bit faster.

    It does not.
