I folks, just recently resubbed but my characters are currently sitting on Liberty. Looking to transfer and just curious if Justice is the best choice for a Kiwi?
Does Justice have the strongest oceanic presence still?
Cheers. -

Holland also has nude cyclists!
Whatever happened to that, uh, promotional video for Holland, anyway?
To be fair, Germany have been the team of the tournament, but they got their tactics wrong against Spain and really missed Muller.
The Dutch and Spanish teams have looked really efficient, and play nice football, but I'm not expecting many goals in the final. -
Quote:Because if I've slotted every piece of a set that has recharge in it and I want more recharge, I need to slot a common IO to make it up. Earth's embrace you want a lot of heal and a lot of recharge, you could slot the heal/rech and heal/end/rech from 2 sets, but I preferred to get the 3 slot bonus from numinas and add a common recharge.
I don't understand why you would use a normal IO when you could get more benefit from using set IOs in their place.
Also by taking out the common IO def out of granite and adding a triple, you move too far away from the ED cap for defence, which to hit fully with 3 enhancements you need set def, random set double, common IO def, although set def and 2 set doubles gets close as I did with the aegises.
Too guilty of looking at the set bonuses and not seeing the overall plan, which is why I don't like to use other peoples' builds unless I absolutely get what they're trying to achieve.
Also I agree with Gruumch, losing static discharge might be a good idea. Maybe get either the epic ST attack or hurl boulder. -
Elec/EA and I love it. Softcapped to many things by level 35 (kinetic combat and eradications don't go any higher), and all the commonish types at 50 (in fact with a fair bit to spare to deal with debuffs). Shadow meld to deal with psi alphas.
This was the toon I made as a soloing/marketeering project and literally did not team till I got to 50. I love it both solo and on teams, but the playstyle and attacks used are completely different. -
This seems to be "let's slot some nice sets" without a coherent plan.
What are you looking to achieve ?
Teaming/soloing ?
Traditional brute or more of a tank ?
Looks like you're going to be in granite all the time, so you don't need the -KB IOs, granite and rooted cover that.
No movement power, would really recommend teleport. Combat jumping cannot be active at the same time as granite or rooted, so not recommended.
Granite is a power that gives both defence and resists, slot it for both.
What would I do ? Decide whether I wanted offensive or defensive slotting first up. For an offensive build, I'd then slot for +rech and +dam, but I'd then want fault as an aggro grabbing and mitigation tool.
I'd also consider taking minerals so that in an emergency, I can switch to rock armor, rooted, tough, weave, minerals to face psi foes which granite is useless against.
For a defensive build, I'd do something like this (well to be exact I'd also take out some of the epic TAoEs as well, but I can see why you might want to keep them), with softcapped S/L defence, and the others up high 30s low 40s too:

I don't usually set rules for the teams I run, and I run a lot.
Everybody fights is a given, if somebody isn't, I will send them a tell and boot them if necessary.
When necessary, will issue a follow the tank message.
The only thing I habitually explain is that because I run a lot of TFs on +diff, the bug that's existed since the beginning of the difficulty slider, where if you enter a mission from a zone other than the one the leader is in before he does, it sets at +0 regardless of what the slider says. -

Agreed, been in this game for 6 years, somebody put a pneumatic drill thru my cable connection a while back and gave me an enforced 6 weeks off. That meant as soon as I got back on, I was back and more enthusiastic than ever.

Quote:Actually I really like the KC proc in fast attacks that don't already do KD/KB, it adds significant mitigation, it also makes the set a lot cheaper, I slot 4 KCs without the triple in stone fist and boxing on my dark/stone tank.Originally Posted by RedSwitchblade
Touch of Death too.
But for the likes of Kinetic Combat, skip the proc and add a 4-piece Mako to it.

I've come to the conclusion that a second build with the click mez protections well overslotted is a good idea for the shielder/SR that wants to exemp low.

Would be interested in running Hess (25-30) and/or Katie (30-34) and/or skyspec (24-33). I don't have either of the first 2 unlocked.
I'm trying to get my blaster(33) to 35 so I can participate in ITFs as that seems to be what happens most of the time. -
Once you've got the IOs you want to slot, I'd suggest taking it up to 33 and locking it there, as having headsplitter with 4 slots, will improve your speed (on moonfire as much as anywhere else), and 33 IOs are just as good for selling as 31s.

Well I learned a bit of football law I didn't know from that game. When the German goalkeeper took the goal kick for the first goal, 2 attackers including the goalscorer were well offside. It's stated in the offside law that you can't be offside from a goal kick - never knew that.
-
OK, a request:
If anybody gets the bug I described 2 posts back, can you report exactly what you did please.
I've been talking to Avatea, and QA haven't managed to replicate it yet.
As far as I remember I had a stack of salvage in my top BM slot.
A mixture of other stuff in the next few slots, and tried to list an expensive (so as to trigger the "large listing fee" dialog box) in my last slot. When the dialog box appeared, I clicked the hide dialog box button and accepted the listing, at which point it listed the salvage instead. -
Quote:Try it as a tank if you're short of cash, you can softcap it on SOs because of the higher numbers.Originally Posted by SPiNE
I see, that makes sense. I've already tried all other Tank primaries though, was just looking forward to Shield Defense.
So what you're saying is that Shield Defense is broken for those who can afford to IO it out the a**. How are the Dev's planning on fixing this issue? The majority of players don't have that much influence to push the set's defense to its soft cap. If the defense is going to get nerfed, the set may become useless, since less than 20% defense is practically useless. As for Shield Charge, I'm happy if it does the same damage as Lightning Rod :]
Also it's not hideously expensive to softcap 2 of the 3 positions (choose ranged/AoE to be non softcapped), the expensive builds have ridiculous recharge as well, and you can do perfectly well without that. -
Ice/elec performs well on a budget. I rolled one in the beta when we got the new style diff slider, and I was soloing +1x8 at decent speed and complete safety on SOs.
With IOs it could be a whole load of fun. -
Quote:The version of this I've never managed to find is the one they used to teach to the non welsh speaking rugby players in the national team. It's a collection of English words that sound fairly like the real welsh ones, but make very little sense.

OK, I haven't read through all the previous posts, but has anytbody experienced this flat out bug: (I've now had it twice, the first time I assumed I'd made a mistake and didn't petition, the second I was sure it wasn't me and got the cash back).
You have a stack of 10 salvage in storage amongst a load of other things.
You move an enhancement you want to sell into storage.
You put the cursor to the price box of the enhancement you want to sell.
You type 7,999,999, the numbers come up, you hit enter.
The "large listing fee" dialog box comes up with the correct 5% amount of the price you're listing for (399,999).
You accept the listing fee, and find that you've spent 4M and it's listed the stack of salvage at 8M each.
Had you actually tried to list the salvage, it would have multiplied the listing fee shown in the dialog box by the number of salvage in the stack, so you clearly were not typing in the wrong box as it showed 399,999 in the large listing fee box not 10x that. -
Not when I bought 3 of each yesterday to outfit my MMs with.
I was actually planning to buy all these up and take them redside with me, but the announcement just got in before I did. -
Was following this on a website that broke and reset to 0-0 at 50 each.
Previous record for aces in a match was 78, they've both served 90+.
The final set has lasted longer than any other whole match in history. -
Actually the reason for making the announcement now (as well as the PR) is so that you can't feel utterly screwed over when you pay 100M for something one side that is only 5M on the other (and yes this does happen, particularly some of the pet stuff), and realise all you had to do was wait.
Only a small proportion of people read the forums, so announcing it in game was necessary. -
I think you can softcap all cheaper by doing the following:
Remove 2 slots from PB, with your added recharge, PB is comfortably perma on 1 IO.
Remove one slot from your melee or ranged defence toggle, and slot 5 serendipities instead of the red fortunes (leave out the end/rech). Put 2 more slots into stamina and complete the Pshifter set, and one into stone mallet, and slot that with mako's bite instead of kinetic combat.
