Several cone powers have had a bug that causes them to always miss moving targets, and I'm not sure if it's fixed yet.

I occasionally have a hunt for him, but with no luck as of yet, so i agree with Max even though in one of the patches a few weeks back they made a change to his resistances o.O

But ya, Thorn Isle or thereabouts is where he'll spawn i think, if you get the 'Nerva Wreck' exploration badge it mentions some mystery beast that sank it, which i assume is Caleb, and all the Spectral <name>'s around there mention him if you get close to a pack of them.

[/ QUOTE ]Spectrals all over nerva mention him, and I think they changed his resist just because they changed spectres the same time, so I assume he's a giant spectre.

n00b! For some hard numbers, see for example clicky.

[/ QUOTE ]Err.....This proves that I AM CORRECT, n00b
Those percentage are based on the dmg YOUR TEAMS does to a mob, say tha tu deceing anything more damaging than a Sapper, even if it does 1% dmg to any foe it takes away some XP...

[/ QUOTE ]But using confuse Increases your XPOT (XP Over Time), which is what matters.

Stealth you should drop at respec, you can get shadow fall which does the same thing and more. Get fearsome stare and stamina quickly. From /dark, everything but black hole (and maybe the res, depends on your playstyle) is worth taking, and from ice I'd take everything but the 2 rains (although combined with tar patch and fearsome stare they could give you a nice AoE combo).

He's supposed to be on thorn isle, but I think they're saving him for I7 or I8 and he isn't in-game yet.

I don't believe its ever negligible - since it affects all attacks and those of your teammates however the numbers are:

Defender 18.75%
Controller, Corruptor , Peacebringer, Warshade, 15%
Mastermind 12%
Blaster, Scrapper, Tanker, Brute, Stalker, Dominator 10.5%

as far as I know.

[/ QUOTE ]Isn't MM leadership as strong as controllers' ?

You do realise everyone hates knockback? (I personally detest Nova anyway)



[/ QUOTE ]Some of us understand it's worth as a controlling tool, it is much underappreciated but still damn effective.

You sir have a very VERY dirty mind....

Just found this on the US board :

Positron confirmed this once; all enhancements in minions affect the minion and not the act of summoning

[/ QUOTE ]
So...if I put one reduce recharge in my Protector bots, they're going to be able to heal more often ?
Edit : lol, I forgot you can't put reduce recharge ... but I still want a confirmation of this

[/ QUOTE ]recharge reductions were removed precisely for the reason that they would affect the summon power and not the henches.

[ QUOTE ]
What power set?, cause different sets play very very differently. And one build can be handled in many different ways. Fx my build is Ice / Nrg. I could focus on control, on single target ranged damage, single target melee damage and so on. All of which would make the way I play very very different.

[/ QUOTE ]Propably overall blaster guide as he didnt give any spesifics.

[ QUOTE ]
The monkey fight club and the golden giza wouldn't have these problems: you never have to go there, gameplay wise. Doubt most people even know where the monkey fight club is or hell, that it even exists.



[/ QUOTE ]There are 5 contacts in golden giza, and also mission entrances, so you DO have to go there.

[ QUOTE ]

I think it's a bit messed up atm tbh. Tactics can see through Superior Invis, which arbiter drones can't... But tactics can't see Rikti drones...

[/ QUOTE ]Rikti drones have no concealment, they only appear invisible due to graphical glitch.

I think corruptor forum might be better place for this...

Playing CoV has taught me that heals are over-rated

[/ QUOTE ]

An empath remember is not a healer. Is a dual faced set with a natural progression of healer with the necessity of a switch at level 25 to a buffer. The empathy set is the only set that is so dual faced with no clear focus across all levels. As the levels increase there is a natural need for shifting the focus of the Empathy set by changing slotting and powers focus. Thats what makes empathy set so much more diverse.

[/ QUOTE ]Who are you and where's Greek?!

[ QUOTE ]

Steamy mist is a great buff, I slotted it with 3 defence buffs, 2 end reductions, and one damage resistance (to fire, cold, negative energy and energy I think)


[/ QUOTE ]Awful waste IMO considering the base defence is under 3%.

[ QUOTE ]
The only things I can see are that I'd probably take swift/hurdle over hurdle/health and I'd probably 6 slot aim/BU with 3 recharge and 3 tohits.

[/ QUOTE ]Getting health to reduce downtime, dont really have any use for swift...
I'll have to see if I'm able to get more slots to Aim and BU, Not planning to do PvP too much so dont need the ToHits, but the recharge might be useful.

Started an Ice/Elec blaptroller yesterday and liking it so far, decided to post the build here so you guys could point out if i had made any big mistakes with power choices/slotting?

Thanks.

It does say that, but it boosts all the secondary effects, apart from the ones it doesn't - some things (eg DOT), don't get boosted by that type of power, I like to know these things


[/ QUOTE ]DoT is not secondary effect, it's damage. Secondary effects span everythinga power does that is not damage.

[ QUOTE ]
I think the blaster class is inherently flawed in that this is not a fantasy MMO, and more or less every enemy in the entire game has a ranged attack, and his ranged attack are not neccesarily less damaging than melee attacks.

RANGE IS NOT A DEFENSE.

[/ QUOTE ]Yup, and the fact that ranged attacks are less damaging than melee makes the most damagin character type actually blapper instead of blaster.

Brute damage cap is 850%, blaster 500%. Brute base damage is 70% of blaster base IIRC, so capped brute damage would be around the same as a blaster with (850*0.7) 595% damage. However, it's damn hard to get to that 850% damage cap with a brute, and blasters have IMO better damaging attacks, so blasters still win with overall damage output.

You wont be able to make good solo /thermal build, if you want corruptor that functions well solo, pick /rad, /dark or possibly /kin.

Not the stun, certain attacks have a chance of dropping toggles that has nothing to do with mezzing. However, dont know if energy assault attacks can do that, but it would feel likely.

Corruptor base damage is 75% of blaster damage, but corruptors can have access to buffs and debuffs, and scourge.

The raid failed
And then the zone crashed


[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think it actually failed, it was so early on that it wouldn't have been too hard to start again from the beggining (and the hami tank was still alive iirc)

[/ QUOTE ]That's just because there were 5 empaths ressing him everytime he fell.

Hero and AV are same thing with different name.

[/ QUOTE ]

I can assure you they're not - I can solo heroes in PvE at my level, maybe +1 given room to move and some luck but AVs need to be about -3 lvls. Hero is slightly higher than an elite boss but an AV is much higher.

[/ QUOTE ]I can solo heroes too, but that's because some of them are very easy with my choice of powers (aurora borealis for example). Some people can solo even level AV's too, so that doesnt change anything.

They just needed to make different named equivalent for AV as calling signature heroes archvillains would have been damn odd.
