Which uses numbers provided by the devs (iow: About as accurate as you'll ever see).

[/ QUOTE ]Prima guide has far too many errors to be trusted as an accurate source for numbers.

[/ QUOTE ]
The devs claimed the numbers in the I7 update were accurate. In any case, I'd trust the devs over a site like nofuture.

[/ QUOTE ]NoFuture data was collected directly from game files, and the I7 prima numbers were FAR from accurate.

yeah gotta be the zone crashing that has killed it for many, its absolutely comical, wouldnt be so bad if we didnt ahve to smegging verify files every damn time

[/ QUOTE ]You don't, you can either set up a shortcut that alters the registry to remove VerifyOnNextLoad, or you can just bypass the updater.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, please tell us how you can bypass the updater?

[/ QUOTE ]I did, in the post above yours >_>

Thats why i left out EMP, simply as i could not envisage a situation where i would need it.

[/ QUOTE ]You can't see a situation where a strong PBAoE hold with huge area could be needed?

[/ QUOTE ]
deffinetly not during pvp thats for sure, would only really be good againts mm's

[/ QUOTE ]But the OP is looking for mainly PvE build.

Nice works, Eniko LARPing is now in the centre of my desktop ^_^

Drop concealment, swap maneuvers for assault, and get TK and EMP ASAP.

Create the following shortcut:

"C:\Program Files\City Of Heroes\CityOfHeroes.exe" -project "EUCoH" (Adjust filepath if your game is installed in a different location)

..it only works on minions?...lol...
what's the gain with that? i think it's the only power in the whole game (coh and cov) that only works on minions..
Why that? O_o why doenst work hoe other powers and doents stun lieutenunts too, and bosses with 2-3 hits?

[/ QUOTE ]Most AoE controls (Discounting soft controls) outside controller/dominator sets only affect minions.

I'm surprised you didn't know about it MaX. It's common knowledge amongst most SS tankers I've talked to

[/ QUOTE ]I don't have an SS tank

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah! That'd be why then.
Not going to ask why you're browsing the tanker forum... I forum-hop plenty myself!


[/ QUOTE ]Not having an SS tank != Not having a tank

Avoiding the rage endurance crash by running perma-rage has been a known "trick" for years, it's a way to improve the combat strength of your character with the sacrifice that you'll have -defence and not be able to attack every few minutes. I find it very annoying that they've only just decided it's an "unacceptable exploit" now.

[/ QUOTE ] The devs simply weren't aware of it. Personally, I didn't know of it before...a few weeks ago, IIRC, when it was mentioned in one post, and I've been here since EU launch.

In short, it's not a nerf, it's a bug fix.

Although I have to contratict the notion of -res being just another form of +dam (It´s a form of -damage mitigation and affects the receiver´s side of the damage calculation) it is still not on the list of power boosted buffs/debuffs.

[/ QUOTE ]In the game engine, resistance (de)buffs and damage (de)buffs are the same thing, in some weird way. So -res IS a form of +dam, no matter what it's effect is gameplay-wise.

I really wouldn't consider DP (And equivalent powers) a proper self heal. The 6-minute recharge means you can use it maybe once per 5 groups, which is far too little, compared to proper self heals.

[ QUOTE ]

When LR hits, you don't have to worry about whether or not your opponent is going to be able to get out of it, it kills regen, and it kills recovery - in one shot.

[/ QUOTE ]LR has no -recovery, does it?

If the empath is good, you propably don't. But still, aid self is a great survivability boost.

[ QUOTE ]
Your first dom you mentioned is ice, which has aim and should help you hit.

[/ QUOTE ]/thorn is only dom with Aim, ice has power boost.

Seeing as its impossible to keep aggro on more than 15 people these days

/Rad is by no means weak. It's the strongest AoE set avaiable to defenders (3 AoE's and the nuke). Also, CB is lovely, high damage attack and 100% stun in the same power.

Any brute can get 100% fury on any team by being the first into the next mob

Are we talking /Stone, or Granite armour?

[/ QUOTE ]/Stone without granite is still /stone with rooted.

[ QUOTE ]

this is at the cost of reduced mobility, but nothing that can't be easily circumvented by a few binds.

[/ QUOTE ]You need 8 kins to overcome -jump of rooted

/Stone for brutes is kinda like /DA for stalkers, both have few powers that are totally against the concept of the AT.

[ QUOTE ]
I think in pvp the base acc of every normal acc power (75% in PvE) becomes 50%.

[/ QUOTE ]Not quite, all players just get +25% def.
