    you go try to solo an AV/GM without stamina, gogogo. Couldn't pull it off? didn't think so.

    Your obviously playing on easy mode some of us actually like a challenge and need our blue bar hold up that's where stamina comes in.

    Do it with a full team of eight. I dare ya. I double dare ya.
    oh my that is like my most hated mission, I've had to call a GM multiple times for that stupid mission because I couldn't find the last guy.

    but panic powers being used usually mean your low on health and end in which case this seems like it would fail. I use it but I hit conserve power first.

    Just seems really high when any toon set up I can think of running upwards of 12 toggles all added up don't equal the end cost of this power. Just seems like a giant oversight and since not many play kelds nothing has been done about it.

    I mean, maybe that's the corporate spin, but let's be realistic here.

    The intent is to milk the rubes for more $$$.

    Also, Harrah's is an absolute toilet (at least the one in Vegas), it doesn't surprise me that they'd try to bribe people to stick around.

    All the casinos in vegas bribe their customers to stay longer,

    I have a question about this power, why does it cost 6end/sec to use? That seems extremely high and sounds like it would drop anyones blue bar in seconds.

    Thye should just make a PVP server for those of us sick of the grind. Have instant 50s free accolades and any recipes from a vendor. It would only be a pvp server so I dont see the harm.

    But of course lolpvp nothing like this is ever gonna be done most likely. sigh.

    not your test fair enough. But hasten should still be used it should just be taken out of the calculations for pet recharge because it skews the results. Hasten still is good damage booster for other attacks cause they come up faster.

Or that not nearly as many purples are being produced because of the AE. Or the bug that was in effect for a few months that completely screwed up all drops.

    If you think "buy it noa prices" are the real reson for inflation well I just don't know what to say other then give your head a shake.

I understand where y'all are coming from, but I really don't see a reason to sacrifice the defense bonuses from the sets that I would probly be using anyway, for the most part, in order to get an extra 1% increase in DPS, that seems like the true survivability sacrifice there.

    But I may be wrong.

    As for the Celerity. I get that it is a stupid way to slot it. But it makes me happy, and isn't that enough?

    Edit: I am currently reshuffling the build to take out Flash and put in SW. I will probably be taking the slots out of SI. But am, as of yet, undecided how to go about reslotting...

    This makes zero sense superior invis puts you at the stealth cap. You are completelty wasting a slot, and I ask why? is it because of ignorance?

    Multpile people have told you it's a waste do you think we are lying? Let me say that again. SI PUTS YOU AT THE STEALTH CAP AND THE STEALTH IO IS A COMPLETE WASTE. You comprehend that?

    (3) The devs haven't given us numbers for those, whereas "1 per 3" (vs "1 per 1", which was quoted at me a lot in that other thread) is pretty clear and simple, IMO.


    It does, however, indicate how the Devs are likely to act if they think that speed-running et al is getting out of hand - nerf rewards for everyone, even the people at the other end of the average. ("Nerf 'em all and let States sort 'em out.") I would like to encourage them to be a little more discriminating, is all.

    you still don't get it do you?

    Read what the poster above you said, here I'll even quote it for you the part I'm talking about.

    The forum population is not representative of the game as whole.
    Let that sink in please.


    OK now that has been said again, some of the biggest power gamers come to forums. Mainly to learn to be better at power gaming and show off said power gaming skill. If the devs really used this for the median for rewards they would be kicking themselfs you know where.

    This is a casual game for the most part and probably less then 5% of the game population actively uses the forums.(87% of all statistics are made up).

    So chill stop trying to get stuff nerfed and let people play how they want. The devs will adjust rewards they see fit and I'm pretty sure they aren't going to put hard caps on rewards.

    your test are old and outdated, they seem to be the time when hasten effected pet recharge. So alot of that is moot now maybe you should go back and change it.

    The build Lucky has so kindly posted is pretty standard, as far as power selection goes, varying a little with maybe taking Assault instead of Maneuvers and Total Focus instead of Stun (though it is a relatively nice cheap purple set) . Conserve Power is one of those things thats more of a preference thing on a higher costing build where end isnt an issue, though on cheaper builds it can help alot with as many toggles as you would normally be running.

    One very important change I would do if you follow that build is move the slot and Rectified Reticle IO to tactics. It is one of those IOs like a Num +/+ or Mir + that when in a toggle or auto power it is always on and if not you have to use the power at least 1 time every 2 mins. When its in Build Up and in zone you dont want to waste BU just to get the buff when you could just have it always on. Maybe thats just me though.

    Is that really true about rectified recticle? I wasn't aware I just thought it was always on because I coulda sworn I saw it in my set bonuses list. Maybe not though my memeory is fuzzy some.

    This build is pretty good for zone 1525HP, 41.5 KB protection and apocalpsye proc in flares. I tried to keep it cheap for the most part I already had some of the IOs.

    That's a worse idea then the OPs idea giving others control over how some of my powers work ya right, no thx.

    If you can't control your KB maybe learn to.

    This is kinda what I was thinking myseld. Think Dr.Octopus and how his arms were attached I think same dealy here right to the spine and nervous system.

    Kings of the Sky: Enemies Buffed, No Inspirations, 5 Deaths, 60 Minutes

    I wanted to make it challenging without making it too extreme.

    I hope that these settings are agreeable for everyone. I am open to suggestions.
    no travel I don't have but but no temp powers im screwed I use ninja run to get around lol and even if I buy a raptor back it wont work.

    M suggestion let us use temp powers, I see quiete a few use ninja run these days to get around.

    I don't support this suggestion simply because it seems so overly unnecessary. If your idea of 'hard' is to fight even-level minions, then there may be some problems beyond the game.

    not this again, this isn't about "hard" it's about fun alright. Let me say that again fun is what this is about.

    I'm off the same mindset in both cases I don't enjoy my enemys being higher or lower then specified. I did a lvl 50 respec the other day any stuff was spawning minus 2 and 3 lvls below it was ridiculous

    So I agree with the OP idea, it works like this in AE you always get the spawns level you specify maybe they could make it the same for normal missions/TFs as well.

    Many other blast sets also have KB, Stuns (or Holds) added on top of their dominant secondary effect. For example, Ice Blast's secondary effect is -Rchg and -Spd, but it also has access to -Tohit (BIB, Blizzard) and Knockdown (Blizzard).

    From the ingame description:


    Alright, it does have a very small accuracy bonus (1.05) on most powers, but I wouldn't say it's super accurate or anything. There is already one set whose secondary effect is being "super accurate" (1.155), and that's Archery, which also gets the same Stun and KB that AR gets.

    The rest of the ingame description just smells like RP (not that I have anything against that), but RP is a poor excuse for a lack of a real secondary effect. "But hey, at least my weapon is a state-of-the-art piece of hardware! Eat that, Fire Blast!" Sometimes I wonder if that was done tongue-in-cheek at the times of old AR model, which looked like something from Duct Tape Land.
    true that lol never thought about it that way, not a fan of AR myself anyway.

    I was playing on virtue when all this went down saw it in the global quiete entertaining.

    I woulda kicked, serioulsy tanks need ID or something similar for GW her hold is just to crazy if it hits and that's just asking for a team wipe if the tank falls. I just don't like whiny people that can't you know listen to some good advice when it's given to them. Big heads and all that stuff.

    seriously don't base your facts off of other peoples rumors, it works fine just check your combat attribute monitor to see for yourself.
