I can see what you mean about repel. I find myself using it less and less as it doesn't fit with my tactics for an ideal confrontation. Where it's still a lifesaver on some occasions is if you are swarmed by unexpected enemies, and then just flicking it on solves all your problems.

[/ QUOTE ]Except that it drains your END very quickly, often causing more porblems than it solves.

A fun power, but on a combo like mind/kin when most of your powers are awesome, there's just no room for it usually.

I've sent the majority of people I know invites already...however I think I'm experiencing some glitches as a friedn tried accepting my invite this evening but it just wouldn't go on the list. If that's the case try sending me an invite and will respond as soon as I'm in-game.


[/ QUOTE ]Each person will have to remove you from their friends list before they can be added to yours again.

It's a known issue, there's a command line fix for it, I'll dig it up in a sec.

EDIT: Alter the CoH shortcut to read: ""C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CohUpdater.eu.exe" -compatiblecursors 1" (Without the outer quotes, and adjusting file path if necessary. That should fix it)

Shadow Fall (minor +res and +stealth)

[/ QUOTE ]Surely you mean Minor +def, good +res and +stealth? The +res is 20% unslotted, by no means minor, especially since it also resists psi.

[/ QUOTE ]

But only +res to energy, negative energy and psi (although the psi will make you popular at higher levels)

[/ QUOTE ]Doesn't still make it minor, just specialized

Cold has the freezing rain clone (Sleet?) for -res.

[/ QUOTE ]
It also has Heat Loss for -Res, but neither HL nor Sleet are up that often, nor is Sleet particularly easy to catch people with.

[/ QUOTE ]With 3 recharges and hasten, sleet should be up every 22 secs (Including the activation time). The summoned entity lasts for 15 seconds, so it's nearly perma then. Also, the resistance debuff lasts for 30 seconds, so if a foe is in the sleet for the whole duration, it'll be debuffed for 45 seconds, giving enough time to stack sleet three times, if my maths aren't totally wrong. So that'd be... 90% -res....

Most pvp damage : Fire/cold

[/ QUOTE ]
I have to hear the reasoning on this.

[/ QUOTE ]

QFT to say something is most damaging you either need high self damage buffs (kinetics) or high resistance debuffs (Sonic/* */Rad */Dark)

[/ QUOTE ]Cold has the freezing rain clone (Sleet?) for -res.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wouldnt call 20% High

[/ QUOTE ]30%, according to NoFuture.

Don't take presence, invoke panic sucks compared to fault.

Invoke panic does have 10.43 second fear instead of fault's 9.536 second Stun. (Base numbers at L50). However, Panic has 60 second recharge compared to fault's 20 (That's right, fault can be perma), has double the END cost, applies fear which is inferior to stun, ANd doesn't have fault's 50% chance of affecting lieut's as well as minions.

As for tremor, it's footstomp lite, lower damage but lower recharge and end cost as well.

But not GMs anymore *sighs* those were the days

[/ QUOTE ]Well, we duo'd one, didn't we? Can propably still be soloed by Ill/Rad or somesuch.

You should still be able to solo (some) AV's, just grab a shivan from bloody bay first.

Besides, unless you're on invincible, AV's scale down to EB's nowdays.

[ QUOTE ]

The attacks at those levels tend to be low end cost therefore low gauntlet duration and rubbish at any level.

[/ QUOTE ]The END cost has no effect on PvE gauntlet. What it does determine is the propability of applying gauntlet in PvP.

[ QUOTE ]
I think I will take the Psychic mastery though purely because telekinesis is yummy

[/ QUOTE ]TK is yummy, but ignited oil slick is pure ownage. Of course, with the right origin choice, you can have both.

[ QUOTE ]
Now... if we only could make it stack...

[/ QUOTE ]You can, with enough +rech, unless they fixed it.

Domination is the only power in the game that boosts mez mag.

[ QUOTE ]
just imagine 8x Defiance Nova

would be fairly easy to achieve too: 7x grant invis and then all fall from a big height then Nova - STF final mission done in 5 seconds

[/ QUOTE ]Even if you were going to use inferno (Which is more powerful than nova), I still doubt you'd get anywhere near killing an AV with 8 nukes.

Any foe that's effected by CE should not attack anything else, unless the other player has applied a stronger taunt. From my own testing after the gauntlet fix, it works fine, apart for the fact that it nowdays ticks every 0.5 secs, instead of being instant.

Or Blazing Arrow, which does awesome ST damage for a non-snipe.

[/ QUOTE ]ST? Bah, ST doesn't count as damage

One of us! One of us! One of us! [/Chant]

Your main use, especially in PvP will be the high amount of -spd, -res and -rech.

---------------------------------------------


Poison Gas arrow I haven't tried yet, am planning on taking it for the -DMG.

Electric fences is there for oil slick, if you have an origin power that can light it you'll want something else propably.

They always come back...crawling

Well, the biggest difference is that more than 3 of the same enhancement type in one power are practically useless. So no more 5/6-slotting damage, perma-hasten, or 6-slotted stamina.

[ QUOTE ]
the hp recovery from drain psyche is very poor I doubt its worth slotting it.

[/ QUOTE ]With 8 foes hit, it's the same +regen as scrapper instant healing.

[ QUOTE ]
(b) -resistance is better that +dmg when you are facing enemies who are strongly resistant to your damage types.

[/ QUOTE ]Quite the contrary. Resistance resists resistance debuffs. So someone with 90% resistance will only have his resistance resisted by (10 * (1 - 0.9)) = 1% when hit with a 10% RES debuff. However, for a target with no/low resistances, resistance debuffs will be superior to damage buffs if the character is slotted for damage.

The minor/moderate/whatever scaling should never be trusted. Just look up proper numbers from somewhere like NoFuture

Domination is a 75% damage buff. It stacks with all other damage buffs and enhancements. So if you're, for example, 3 slotted for damage (Giving you around 95% boost), and have a +30% damage buff on you, with domination your damage will be (Base Damage) * (1 + 0.95 + 0.7 + 0.3)

So slotting damage is still useful.
