remember. This is not a set bonus like 5% to healing.

This is an enhancement to all powers that will take a healing enhancement.

So it should work. Likewise health and most of a /regens powers would see a benefit. How much of a benefit overslotting above ED is I don't know? but the possibilities for a regen aiming for the healing one makes me quiver. I'm betting majorly more affective than slotting some of the smaller +regen bonus used.

Your missunderstanding what your quoting...

What they are saying is that if the Devs datamine specific things their results will get squiffed by min/maxers. For example they datamine TF/Arc times to determine merits rewards.

If 1000 teams complete a specific TF 4 hours. but 100 teams complete it in 15 minutes.

Then the results arnt too squiffed, average runtime is about 3.65 hours. But if those 100 teams each decide to farm the TF 10 times because its soo easy. then your average runtime for that TF drops considerably. to 2 hours.

Now all they have to do is heavily farm that TF at a rate of 15 minutes a go more readily than casual players who know it will take them 4 hours to run it will do it in. And you've got a steadily decreasing time in the TF.

Look at the Crystal Titan (Eden) TF. 4 hours time limit and then it fails, do the Devs count failed attempts in their calculations? possible when it is timed, but also likely not. Why? well the whole TF gives a lousy 7 reward merits.

Why because you can do it in under 25 minutes with a half decent team that knows what they are doing.



This can and will also be applied to how tough enemies should be. if a large enough (while still being minority) proportion of the playerbase trivialise enemies (softcap at 45% on squishies, perma PA etc etc) then you will find more enemies with defence debuffs, or massive tohit. Or recharge Debuffs, or taunt resistance.

exactly why I said I would never go for it myself.

My own Earth/Rad has a much (in my opinion) build plan which because of using /Earth ancillary achieves softcap while functionally slotting powers.

I wholeheartedly agree that IW is fundamentally useless when aiming for softcap, and theres alot easier ways to push softcap for S/L which will cover more than just range imo.

Theres lots of things wrong with the build I posted, im sure someone could come up with one thats better than what I did and achieves the same, but fundamentally gave what the OP want.

That being said, with Softcapped range defence turning earthquake into KB and dropping it on yourself, while not exactly being the best tactic, could work

and to an elec/ its probably more valuable than permadom too, since out of everything I stack, only my ST holds are improved greatly in domination, its a good thing Elec/Earth has 2 ST Holds .

But I certainly won't complain about perma mez protection...

thats the problem with terms like that that have made their way into modern common use language, theres a whole lot of people who are probably offended by it.

For me its the first Issue ever where ive not had too much stuff going on in my life to to anything other than "Open Beta, ooooh its close" so to actually be able to try and test the new conent would be great.

Afterall its introducing quite a contentious issue right from the bat, how easy should it be to be incarnate?

My personal opinion is that the mission should be soloable because (even though i never RP) from an RP perspective it doesnt make sense to have a bunch of heroes run along at once and gain "god like status" at the same time. So accross the few 50s I have I would have like to see which struggle and which thrive.

the thought of testing out respecs on test server scares the willies out of me, its already going to be so daunting on live as it is.

I dunno, semantically speaking, it could come out in December 2021, its still after thanksgiving...

and all the "entitlement" issues have been running around since no slots for inherant fitness was announced. What i find amusing is its very familiar names on the entitlement side of "MOAR SLOTS!" arguing that they've been screwed over by i19 not releasing broken. Can they be that fussed if they arnt happy with inherant fitness?

it appears the problem is your definition of random and most other peoples are not the same.

picking someone of out the search window that you don't know to send a tell to asking if they would like to join your SG is a pretty random method of inviting people imo.

in my experience the quotation marks around the "petcomall def foll" isnt necessary, mind your version still saves more line space than mine!
