    I have a lot more fun playing tankers than playing brutes. I've never managed to get a brute past level 28.

    "OH NO! I won't be as survivalable and die all the time now!"
    That was also the complaint when they dropped the resistance cap from 95% to 90%.

    I know I complained that I'd be taking 100% more damage.

    In comparison, going from 90% resist to 85% resist is only taking 50% more damage.

    It'd be a better post if the damage comparison didn't entirely ignore criticals.
  5. I don't see why they would be origin bound. Power Pools are the tricks you pick up outside of your normal abilities. That's why the medicine pool uses a tricorder.

    It looks like all the healing enhancements pick up absorb on beta.



    This strongly suggests a new defense mechanism, and probably also a new defense set.

    Actually, with the new absorb mechanic, I'm almost certain there's a new defense set in the works.

    Also, absorb seems to be a new mechanic where you steal health, and add it to your own, even over your maximum.
    Well, that explains this then:

    Your damage capped tanker gets nothing from damage bonuses, sure.

    Your damage capped tanker does get something from damage procs and criticals.

    His exact quote is:

    "With the power sets we're making now, we're actually answering very frequently requested power sets. Extremely frequently requested power sets. And I will go ahead and say this: One of them is not clown summoning. Or carp melee. Or Hamster launching."

    Which implies, of course, that if there are two powersets coming up, one is not clown summoning, carp melee, or hamster launching.

    The other power set, however...

    Psychic Melee

    It's what he said. He said one of them wasn't Carp melee.

    If I have two coins with a combined value of thirty cents and one of them isn't a nickle, I have a nickle and a quarter.

    Actually, they specifically said ONE of them is not Carp melee.

    So if they're coming out with three sets, at least two of them are Carp Melee.
  13. In beta, tier 4 Vigor did not properly provide enhancement bonuses to some powers such as High Pain Tolerance. That's been fixed.

    Now, tier 4 Vigor Core will boost all of the appropriate powers.

    And for my willpower Tank, I think that's awesome. I get about 120 Hp/sec with one enemy in melee.

    Nonsense. Everything is an anagram. I'll go with Harden Melt Pro and decide that Mender Lathrop is an Ice Control/Fiery Assault dominator.

    My Invulnerability/Ice melee/Ice Master tank uses Cold Warrior (or cold as ice, I don't remember which now).

    My Dual Pistols/Storm just picked up Eye of the Storm last night.

This Stalker is a Kinetic Melee and has the same amount of AoE that my Kin/EA Scrapper has.
    Well, I was just playing my level 12 Street Justice/Super Reflexes scrapper and getting wiped across the floor by Ghouls.

    It could be something that was only finished recently, so it won't show up until after server maintenance today.

    Knock-back is actually awesome mitigation for ranged attackers because it often leads to rag doll weirdness. I've had fights where an enemy would rag doll into some weird geometry and never get back up.
  19. Doing this on my Rogue, Elna, has been weird. I've done all the SSA missions hero side. I get to the boat, all the heroes are friendly with me. Numina talks about how great it is to see me again. Outside the boat, she doesn't trust me "in the slightest"

    Battle Axe and War Mace both have shovels already, why shove one into Broad Sword?

    Yeah, but I didn't get what Seebs was trying to say. I had no idea what the "cosplay policy" they were trying to enforce was.

    If he had quoted the policy "Players must wear a costume similar to what their characters are wearing" (but much more legal sounding) then I'd have gotten it.

    As it was, he sounded too much like someone complaining about having been caught by the GMs after having made a Superman costume, and not someone complaining about some new, unreasonable policy.

  23. If you're referencing something, please provide a link. If you're just making this up, then you're not being clear enough for this to be funny.
