Claws has more damage?

[/ QUOTE ]
bah it seems the pool as one very high damage power where spine haven't(only high damage)




[/ QUOTE ]The high, very high, superior, extreme damage statements are total rubbish, they have no consistency whatsoever.

You're much better off looking at their Brawl Indexes or Power Data Standardisation inso.

6-slot terrify, really, it's one of your best powers, along with mass confusin and TK.

Propably drop the 2nd end reducer in CJ seeing how absolutely little it helps, add that as speed to either SS or SJ?
(Or in taunt, extra range/duration never hurts)

[ QUOTE ]
You're right indeed Arch. did some actual testing with stopwatch and the holds in VG don't affect the the time of it to be active, but it appears to affect the time the pulses hold the mobs. (stupidly enough, more logical and sensible would be for hold duration to prolong the power active all in all)

[/ QUOTE ]Actually, I find the way it currently works much more logical...

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks

who in PI would be casting that - so I can avoid them
Possessed scientists?

[/ QUOTE ]Yup, the ones with agony mage powers, gravity control and absorb pain.

[ QUOTE ]
Hmmm ill avoid lightning clap then...

Thunderstrike seems a bit of a must despite its painful animation as its AoE (better for teams) and disorientate effect for double effect on nasty bosses...

Between charged brawl and havok punch it looks like havok punch?


[/ QUOTE ]You'll want both, as well as the L38 melee attack, which is also a hold.

It might be a gravity control hold/immob graphic, those tend to stick to your char sometimes... Were you by any chance fighting family?

[ QUOTE ]

O and I want to pick up leadership (will Vengeance work with your pets btw?? when they die that is?)


[/ QUOTE ]It uses the same code as res, so no.

Which server would you happen to be on?

[ QUOTE ]
OK,

already seen that Ice Storm is a pure PvE power. Didn't realise it was a rain of fire type move so that will be out as soon as I respec

[/ QUOTE ]Drop ice storm+snow storm on stalker and he's toast.

[ QUOTE ]

What I see at the base of this thread, is people genuinely agreeing on some core aspects, but having different branches of thought on the matter. The REAL point of difference here, is the way we dice around with the terms, and the way we personally have come to think of that one word "skill". This may just end up being yet another agree to disagree thing, because once you stray into the zone of personal opinion, there isnt much you can do. Even then, I dont think we're here to convert one another to our own views anyway, right?

[/ QUOTE ]You know, that sounds a lot like someone describing religion...

[ QUOTE ]
If by "laughable" you mean "totally freakin' awesome", then yes.

[/ QUOTE ]
Agreed, Tar Patch is one of the reasons my MM can take out /Regens - it's just a matter of knowing when to drop it.

[/ QUOTE ]QFT.

If you're going to scrap, you'll need stamina. If you're going to play a STALKER, you can get by without it, or at least with taking it at a later level.

[ QUOTE ]
Personally, I find scrappers boring and kinda weak, but after teaming a bs/inv scrapper a little while ago.. O_O

He outdamaged me, now that kinda got me in the mood to make a scrapper, but it wasn't enough. Now I feel like making a scrapper but also I don't want to so I was hoping, can somebody maybe try to convince me to make one?

[/ QUOTE ]Won't have access to Co(H/V) today, but gimme a few days and I'll make a demo file to show how my Spines/regen herds, should be convincing

[ QUOTE ]

The only issue is that it kills momentum when it switches on, so if you're leaping from rooftop to rooftop, or chasing down a fleeing hero it can be a bit annoying when it kicks in and you're frozen for the animation.

[/ QUOTE ]BUT if you're chasing someone, you propably have an attack queued, whichh will prevent it from activating

[ QUOTE ]

If you are looking at later on though Ice gets Energy Absorption which gives practically infinite endurance and Stone gets to drop most of it's armour by using Granite.

[/ QUOTE ]Also, fire gets consume, which, while it doesnt solve all problems, still helps with END.

[ QUOTE ]
I wouldn't hurt dear, sweet little MaXy. Instead, I'm going to be patronising and condescending towards him until he apologises. Aren't I MaXy-WaXy?

By the way FFM, there are two l's in "really"

[/ QUOTE ]You're cruel woman, so cruel....fine, I apologise

[ QUOTE ]
I always though FotM was Ice/Energy Blappers or is that 'SO last month'?

[/ QUOTE ]That's the other FotM

[ QUOTE ]

P.S. And don't worry Duffy, I only pick up on the mistakes of Weasel...and Syn...Raven, Wam, anyone who dares mutilate the English language with typos!

[/ QUOTE ]*Phew*, good thing I never do that, don't want Statis to get angry at me...

[ QUOTE ]
Tried abit yesterday in croatoa (stupid ghost badge), going out of range for a normal power, but would hit with boost range.

Powerboost didnt let me hit him, either the range boost is serious low or it doesnt boost at all.

[/ QUOTE ]Powerboost does not boost range, the discussion is about whether it boosts range BUFFS, or not.

So basically, you'd need to go to a range that's slightly farther than from where you can hit with boost range, then hit power boost->boost range, and see if you can attack.

For getting into the middle of groups - I hate to be as conventional as this, but Super Speed is hard to beat. Teleport has a nasty little pause where you can't do anything much but can be attacked - SS has stealth. That makes it all but indispensible for the close range blaster IMHO.


[/ QUOTE ]Incorrect, you can attack, you just can't move for a while.

[/ QUOTE ]

Still a disadvantage where SS gives stealth and mobility

[/ QUOTE ]True.

Flavour Of The Month - its kinda catchy

[/ QUOTE ]

How can spines be flavour of the month?, FotM should be those build people allways make, not those that are the best that people never choice. There arent that many spines arround. DM and katana are still the most popular, closely followed by MA.
Same with stalkers, everyone makes ninja blade eventhough its suppar. I think Flavour of the month should be what people actually makes not what is best.

[/ QUOTE ]Have you been observing the scrapper boards lately? Half of the treads about spines, it's definitely FotM (Which, btw, means the thing that is currently 'in', not the things people always make).

[ QUOTE ]
While I'm here, a question about DM, although the scrapper board might be better. Does anyone have any figures for the -Acc in the DM attacks? I see they all take tohitdebuffs, and as they come back prettys quick anyway, and with fury and Soul Drain, I'm thinking about slotting them for it. Is it worth it, with EA, and do they stack on top of each other?

[/ QUOTE ]Only one I personally would slot for debuff is ToF as it has farily good one, unsure of the others.

[ QUOTE ]

Nope, though they are ninja, they are stupid as hell..

[/ QUOTE ]And this is why pirates own ninjas

[ QUOTE ]

Unlike most other AT a brute can be customised to suit your own playstyle , its up to the player itself what you want to do in the end all the options are there

[/ QUOTE ]I can't think of an AT where that doesn't apply, really.
