As I said, 'should do', not 'always does'

[ QUOTE ]

Finally, /Ice on a Blaster is called "Ice Manipulation". /Ice on a Tanker is called "Ice Melee". Thematically, at least, you could argue that manipulation deals more with control and melee deals more with attacks.

[/ QUOTE ]You could also argue that a power with the same name should do the same thing, regardless of the AT using it

[ QUOTE ]

In fairness, you could come at that from either POV. Blasters that take FA already will use it for the sleep. /Ice Blasters haven't been complaining about having no damage output (they still have a primary, and /Ice tends to be chosen for the "control") but they are likely to complain if you nerf any of their mitigation.

[/ QUOTE ]/Ice blasters haven't been complaining? Maybe not too vocally, but ice is generally considered the weakest secondary...

And really, the (quite likely very few) blasters that self-stack AoE sleeps could still use FA first and sleep grenade afterwards. Although I suppose you couldn't stack FA and siren's song, but how many sonic/ice blasters are there?

[ QUOTE ]
The Munitions Mastery "sleep grenade" can be stacked with FA to snoozle bosses.

[/ QUOTE ]So can earth mastery Salt Crystals on tanks. [ QUOTE ]
Also, a typical Blaster isn't exactly lacking in damage output (but could use more mitigation), but /Ice tanks could use some more.

[/ QUOTE ]But they gave sleep stacking as a reason rather than damage output

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
No, as that would eliminate it's ability to stack.

[/ QUOTE ]

Would someone care to explain this to me? I don't have either version of the power.

[/ QUOTE ]Sleeps with damage can't be stacked, for obvious reasons.

Of course, adding damage to tanker version would remove it's ability to be stacked, so I don't quite get their logic.

[ QUOTE ]
Aggro - Is there a cap to how many mobs you can keep on you?

[/ QUOTE ]17.

[ QUOTE ]
How does gauntlet actually work? Still figuring that one out.

[/ QUOTE ]For ST attacks, a taunt effect on the target and up to 4 mobs close to it. For AoE's, a taunt effect on all foes hit.

And for pool/epic ST attacks it only affects the target, not the mobs close to them.

[ QUOTE ]

Exactly so when playing around with Midas an wanting to figure out max-min efficency of a slotted power I use SOs.
IF I on the other hand wants to figure out how to best slot a power I use everything and his granny.

[/ QUOTE ] That's the same thing, no?

[ QUOTE ]
or you were "leveraging Defiance"

[/ QUOTE ]Old

All /dev needs is giving TD about +20% dam buff, and allowing intrdx to be slotted in trip mines (possibly make them take snipe sets as well).

[ QUOTE ]

There are also at least two level 50 outdoor maps that feature arcane-salvage-dropping-enemies on CoH.


[/ QUOTE ]IIRC, at least two carnie maps, the behemoths, maybe some CoT ones, few wolf maps (sadly all timed, I wish I had a pre-nerf US char...), and I'm fairly sure there's some BP too.

You don't get 3, you only get 1, which uses the assault rifle model. And yes, it's customizable.

Personally, I'm pretty bad with CM. If doing something where it's really needed I will be able to keep it perma on squishies (or tank if fighting GW on STF), but usually I just tend to forget about it unless someone asks for it.

Absorb pain is an incredibly powerful heal. Regen aura properly slotted gives IH-level regen, and fort is a pretty nice defence buff.

Those are youtr main survivability boosters in addition to the two main heals. But empathy really isn't all about healing, it's got strong buffs as well.

I currently have (pre-SIO build) 3 dam and 3 rech. But then again, I'm /dev.

Am fine on sat's and sun's, weekdays from 12-14 onwards, depends on the day.

[ QUOTE ]

Fire/Fire isn't that good, as /Fire specialises in PBAoE while Fire/ has a good cone that is vital to a multi-target build, causing the user to have to constantly change positions...


[/ QUOTE ]Fire breath while jumping towards target area, then fireball and FSC. Those powers work brilliantly together, having to move around a bit really doesn't hurt that much.

[ QUOTE ]
pink dark.

[/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]So change the set name to negative blast.

[ QUOTE ]
Rethinking it, total customization would make things a little odd. I'm in agreement that changing the colour of energy blasts and such would be fantastic, but Dark being turned pink and Fire green just doesn't make any sense.

[/ QUOTE ]It's a superhero game, it doesn't HAVE to make sense.

Besides, nothing odd with green fire.

[ QUOTE ]

Do you actually use Fly in combat, and if so what do you do to overcome the suppression weakness? I ask because I fail to see how a Flying Blapper could be as survivable or effective as one with another travel power.

[/ QUOTE ]Fly to combat, use sprint for combat movement.

[ QUOTE ]

You cannot use your melee attacks in combat effectively with just "fly" and bad unsuppressed movement.

Can you use melee attacks without unsuppressed movement? Yes, but you will suck and you will die.


[/ QUOTE ]My blapper doesn't do too bad with fly...

Although I will probably 'spec for more unsupressed movement at some point, but the lack of it certainly isn't that big a disadvantage.

[ QUOTE ]
Anonymous? That you MaX?!

[/ QUOTE ]Of course I'm not me, I'm anonymous

I may or may not be up for the teaming this saturday, depends on whether I'll be conscious at the time.

Dead mobs don't need debuffing.

The same to you guys ^^

The reason this wasn't added with wapon customization is that even though technically it's a "weapon", the tech required is different.

All weapon customization allows is changing the static weapon model that your character uses. Ice/Fiore swords, stone mallets and such have no such models, they're particle effects just like, say, empathy heals or energy blasts. Thus, if we ever get to customize them it'll be when total power customization gets added, but that's loads of work and not going to happen any time soon, if ever.
