And then the troller pops around 10 Robusts,

[/ QUOTE ]Which means he's a bloody moron, wasting insps like that when way less would bring him to resistance cap.

As for duel rules, there's on: There are no rules.

Three words: Fire. Sword. Circle.

CE ticks aren't that long comaperd to taunt, you'll be better off slotting 3 tauntdur in taunt and firing it off right before hibernate, the taunt effect will last longer.

[ QUOTE ]

another query though, anyone think hasten would help or hinder this sort of nuild ?

[/ QUOTE ]Hasten helps any build.

You need snow storm to keep foes from escaping your freezing rain debuffs. it will probably annoy some people (having high particale count) as they cant see much in the snow storm. must have for pvp though.


[/ QUOTE ]

can i not just use frostbite, glacier or ice slick and get the same effect though?

[/ QUOTE ]You can, but snow storm will provide good additional -rech.

AoE confusion=über

That is all

I'd rather take dark, but that's not because TA is bad, rather because dark is VERY good.

I think its good pretty much only with fly though. I helped my mate test his devices blaster in arena and I could see thru cloaking device at couple dozen yards with no +perception whatsoever..

[/ QUOTE ]That's because while it's strong, it's not as good as invis or hide.

Still, for a char without perspection buffs, a cloaked blaster is much harder to spot.

[/ QUOTE ]

It is strong compared to... what?

[/ QUOTE ]Stealth.

Hover doesn't say it offers knockback protection because technically it doesn't, knockback just affects you differently when you're flying.

Just a quick query to tag on here, can O2 boost be used on jack frost ?

[/ QUOTE ]Yes

[ QUOTE ]
I think carnival would be quite unlikely since Posi stated in that wOOtradio interview that there would be no clowns and carnival would probably be too clownesque.

[/ QUOTE ]Only stated that there wont be a set with JUST clowns.

I'd swap CoF with OG, OG does cost HP but virtually no END.
Would get CJ, SJ and Acro, for KB protection.
Keep whirling hands, AoE damage=good.
Hasten is nice to have.
Take AoE patron powers rather than ST ones, AoE damage is good

This is assuming PvE, for PvP AoE is less important.

[ QUOTE ]
Cloaking Device and Stealth do not stack, SS does however. But I don't believe this +stealth happens in PvP.

[/ QUOTE ]Correct, SS has no +stealth in PvP.

Forum stars have taunt, shields, mez protection and self-heals, but few attacks and sometimes no aura.

[/ QUOTE ]I don't count as a forum star?

Must-have powers: Block of ice, Ice slick, Jack Frost, Freezing Rain, Snow Storm, Hurricane.

A Scrapper comes, hits you for 50 damage (due to 50% being resisted), but if you didn't have armor, he'd hit 100.
So he when he crits, does he do 200 damage or 150 damage?

[/ QUOTE ]150


[ QUOTE ]
Question 2

Because the Blasters have 30% unresistable damage, does it make your armor only 20% resistance to all, or is it more complicated like if the Blaster hit normally 100, with the armor it's 50, but with the unresistable damage it'd be 30% of 50, which is 65?

What I know of Corruptors and Scourge is that the second tick of damage is unresistable and the initial tick is resisted normally.

[/ QUOTE ]30 damage goes through the shields, and the rest (70) is halved by the shield, thus giving 30+35=65 damage.

It's good enough to be pretty much must-have.

You'll want taunt at 10 since you dont get aura 'till 18. Personally I'd say taunt, unstop and aid self.

[ QUOTE ]
I vote Carnies/Empathy.

[/ QUOTE ]Empathy MM's? Dude, you got any idea how sick that would be?

[ QUOTE ]
So the levels for slots are just random there, to get the build across. I understand what people are saying about Bone Smasher and Total Focus, but until I find a use for them, I don't want them.

[/ QUOTE ]Well, I always thought dealing loads of damage was a good use, but maybe that's just me.


If you take repulsion field, give it 3 EndRdx to make it useable.

Pirate set is supposedly in the works, I'd say either that or carnival set will be next.

Not for I8 tho', but I9-11, since there were supposed to be a lot of new sets in the canned expansion.

Knockdown is really low strength knockback. Putting KB enhancers into earthquake will change it into knockback instead of knockdown, which is a bad thing. Thus, do not slot it for KB.

[ QUOTE ]

Drop Power Burst, Power Punch does the same job (& can't get rid of Power Punch!).


[/ QUOTE ]You mean power push, burst should NOT be dropped.
