I got everything. Thanks, all.

Feeling broke, but happy

Two of my main marketeering characters have it. If you flip salvage as part of your income, you're pretty much guaranteed to get it.

At least your enemies are taking you seriously.

I once got ambushed by a single Rikti Drone. One. Drone.

That was so embarassing.

Myth: You either play for fun or for min-maxing.
Fact: A focus on game mechanics or rewards doesn't magically prevent one from having fun.

Sales seem normal to me, but supply is noticeably down on certain items.

So far the only thing that worries me (as a crafter) is if rare salvage will make a strong comeback. That will cut into my margins, and it's not certain if the price increase can be passed on to buyers. I'd rather have cheap rare salvage and expensive common salvage than the other way round.

One common myth (which I see repeated all over the Tanker forums) is that smashing/lethal defense will work against any attack with a smashing/lethal damage component. Whether or not a defense type works against an attack has nothing to do with what damage the attack does, but how it is typed. Fireball, for example, does fire/smashing damage but only checks fire defense because it is typed fire attack, AoE attack.

Still looking for a Gladiator's Armor +3 def and 3x Panacea: Heal.




In unrelated news, I also know someone looking to sell a Panacea proc redside if anyone is interested. PM me

So, poke me in-game and I'll give you your money.

Wow, has it been a month since this started? Time flies. And we're now looking at the third major change to our reward systems in the past 12 months. Normally, I used to wind down operations before the launch of a big issue, but this time, I've decided not to make any special preparations and just keep going as normal (both the fund as well as my own marketeering). I'll deal with market changes as they happen.

Given the history of market predictions, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone who looked into their crystal ball ends up wrong in some way.

I'm actually pretty excited!

Is Snow Storm required to ground AVs? I don't recall them having any special protection against -Fly, and I could ground Mary with just one RoF.

This is on Virtue, blueside.


I'm looking for the following:

Panacea: Healing
Panacea: Chance for +HP/End
Gladiator's Armor: +3 Def

If you have any that you are willing to sell, PM me your price. My global is @Laevateinn

Storyarcs only award merits (and the end-of-arc XP and influence bonus) to the mission holder. The exception is if you do them through Ouroboros - in this case all team members will get merits.

There are no diminishing returns on story arc merit rewards.

*applause*

Speaking as someone who's paid 200m for an Obliteration quad, I can understand the people paying those prices. Influence isn't a finite resource; you can always make more of it.

Besides, throwing around vast sums of money is one of the pleasures of being rich.

Nothing unusual to report.

Full steam ahead!

Unlike the (old) player version of MoG, the PP's MoG seems to protect from psi attacks. So it is better.

I wouldn't skip Fire Breath if at all possible. It actually has the same animation time as FSC, and does slightly more damage. As a cone rather than a 10ft PBAoE, it is also much easier to catch big groups of enemies in it, and having a ranged AoE is good for situations where you do not want to enter melee, or for softening up a big group before going in. YMMV, but Fire Breath is half of what makes Fire/ a good AoE primary, although it can be tricky to leverage together with all your melee attacks.

I considered swapping the Doctored Wounds Heal/Rech for a Numina triple too, but it is very easy to hit the HP cap with just Dull Pain and +15% from accolades, in which case the HP set bonus will only be useful when Dull Pain isn't up.

It's not likely to make a significant difference either way (35 HP vs a few seconds shaved off Dull Pain's recharge), except that Numina's triples are a lot more expensive than any Doctored wounds.

IMO, a good alternative slotting for Dull Pain is:

Numina's Heal
Numina's Heal/Rech
Doctored Wounds Heal/Rech
Lv50 Recharge common IO

This gives you the 12% regen bonus from Numina's as well as 91.7% healing and recharge enhancement for only 4 slots.

I don't think 6-slotted Doctored Wounds is worth it at all. The 6th slot bonus is useless, and if you are missing the 5% recharge bonus, you can put an LotG 7.5 in Invincibility with one of the two slots you saved.

I can't comment on your build goals at large but if you want regen, you ought to heavily slot Health because the regen uniques are boosted by the enhancement % in the power itself.

Depends on the Scrapper, Tanker or Brute. Some sets have ranged attacks, some have controls/debuffs, and high-defense sets avoid the resistance debuffs entirely. I never knew Vanguard debuffed resistance until reading this thread because everytime I fought them in melee, it was on my SR scrapper or Invulnerability tanker.
