The issue isn't the HP cap being raised, or really just the one power personally. It's more that way back blasters got a significant HP boost, but their HP cap wasn't changed at all. This wasn't much of an issue since there wasn't a way to buff their HP cap at the time. Currently though with accolades and a couple IOs (about 90 hps from 5 bonuses) I'm 66hp away from the blaster HP cap on my energy/dev.
It's just absurdly easy to cap a blaster's HPs as compared to (with the buff for stalkers going in) every other AT. What's so special about blasters that they have to be penalized like that? What would be harmed by bringing their HP cap in line with the other ATs?
Still trying to get my head around your logic here. Or, lack of it. How is blasters being the easiest AT when it comes to hitting the hp cap..a PENALTY? Oh darn it, I was slotting my blaster for acc, rech and def, and I hit the hp cap AGAIN! Poor me.
As people are saying, stalkers can also hit the cap as easy, but have a larger number of secondary powers that give +hp..that do nothing but a heal with the current cap. Listening there? Secondary powers. Not one little power in an epic pool.
Why should it be changed? They are not a 'tough' AT. When you hear blaster, do you think..oh bags and bags of hp! Gotta have as many as melee ATs, for sure. More to the point..I know I have seen a heap of 'stalkers need something' threads in my time here. I bet you have too. How many have you seen asking (with logical reasons) to buff blasters? Could be a reason for that difference? -
Idiotic Threads: Desirability low, Usefulness very low. You bring nothing that is not completely obvious, or outright garbage. You only like what YOU like, and will not listen to anyone else. You should really just reroll.

I am going to roll a healing buffing troller with fire blast AND archery, and call it Dug
-
Ahhhh Damage..that thing EVERYONE does (genius observation that one) but no team actually needs. Odd considering..ever tried killing something with heals? With controls? With taunts?
Also sounds like you really need some more experience with blast sets other than fire/archery. Dp and Ar will do just as much aoe as them.
And..ALL controls have heals and buffs? I guess Ta doesnt count.. -

I have tried all of the Godmode powers and agree with everything said here.
The defence based ones are easily more skippable, because defence is not able to hit a cap (alone) and you can get to the soft cap alone.
Power surge is the least useful resistance Tier 9, because the set itself offers nothing besides the long rech heal to mitigate damage.
I feel none of the Godmodes should be affected by Recharge boosts, considering how they are meant to be the pinnacle of the set. This should apply to khleds too (if a set NEEDS a perma godmode to be good..I blame the rest of the set).
A less than complete end crash, and additional effects of the other powers would be nice.
Elude: Less overall +def (pretty worthless anyway) and +rech and regen, as your metabolism speeds up along with reflexes.
Retsu: Same as elude, perhaps with a small slow aura, as you as meant to be almost slowing down time.
OL: Clearly the best godmode.
Icy Bastion: Give it to tanks at last.
MoG: Add a bit of time for the long animation, give the rez a anti mez as you get up.
Unstop: Maybe a knockdown effects to attacks, as you barge through baddies (like the Juggernaught).
Power Surge: A small +regen, as power courses through you, and maybe a +enegy damage to attacks, since your a ball of sparks. -
Got it to. Making a short post cause Im sure it will log me out again. Even worse..I try to log back in, using the correct details, and it says they are wrong..when I AM logged in on another tab of Firefox..using those SAME details. This is really pathetic for a public forum.

elec shield..at least it would have made a good tank for ajax?
lol@ the kat/bs drawing his sword
bots/rad...maybe we will get it for mms!
i would have been doing the same with street justice, just watching it. thats awesome -
I don't know about 'hating' Darrin Wade. What he does/is doing is just text book villain behaviour, on a bigger scale than ANY of the other foes in the game. He is a *****, but he still has a plan, unlike Malaise who does it all just seemingly because he is crazy.
How about a 'I hate Malaise' shirt?
Or a 'I did 5 SSA's for Darrin Wade and all I got was this lousy...' shirt. -
During the Defeat Ajax mission from Dead (lvl 20-25, red) you get helped by a Flawed clone, with a seemingly random pair of any powersets. This obviously creates some freaky and amusing combos. What funny ones have people seen?
Just now we had a Mace/Dark Miasma...friend wants combos like this possible..melee/debuff.
Another was a Crab/Time...looking really funny to see the time juncture with crab arms.
And for the ultimate gimp toon..Ar/Luminous Blast! The perfect veng bait on any team. -
Just a quick one..has anyone ever seen a shield toon get hit with the Devolution from the secondary mutation temp? It turns you into a monkey..but the shield is STILL out due to active defence! Hilaaarious
-
Agree with Darth..skipping the aoe heal is crazy. Even more so because you actually HAD to ask if it was crazy..it should just be obvious. Its a great heal.
-
I like the Cold Snap inherent idea. Another one I read in a different post...have SHiver upgrade itself from a slow to a slow + low mag hold, when used over Ice Slick? Lick the cold air freezes or something? Or maybe a stun, so they still flop about.
-
Exactly..maybe is WAS spoiled on purpose. It is still a damn stupid move.
And if it takes SO long to remove states, why kill him? Why not start the removal months back, when the SSA started? I'm not saying it is easy, but having him STILL in game is just lame. -
Just finished it Blueside.
I still dont think he should have been killed, even less that some GENIUS told the forums about it weeks back.
Also, it is nice we get it a bit early.
BUT..States is still in IP, on the boat? WTF devs? he is dead..but still in game? Great work. At least contacts like Mister Midnight vanish after death. But states is still there? Maybe after the servers come down it will remove him? If not..consider me very unimpressed. -
Sadly..not really. That combo really was tough for me. I leveled one ages ago, and granted, with the aoe poison changes, it will help..but not much.
The zombies basically rely on Life Drain to stay alive (since the poison heal is not great at keeping a lot of them alive) which has the major problem of being able to Miss..and the AI is pants on head. the never seem to use the heal when they NEED it, often only using LD on full hp.
Get the +res and def pet uniques as soon as you can..but zombies are very squishy, especially paired with Poison. -

What is next: Stalkers shouldn't use Assassin Strike? Brute should avoid fury. Dominators delay domination??
Tornado does over 60 ticks of damage, up to 400 total damage points base. At its very best it chews on AVs that resist knockback. Sonic cage may be situational, this is a death dealing machine. Oh and then there is the modest defense debuff with a mag 2 stun; too short to enhance, but it's nice on bosses coupled with thunderclap. The pet takes the aggro off you, your pets and your teammates.
Do you use tornado for pulls? No, and you usually don't use fireball or ice storm for an opening salvo on a squishy either. Corner offices, dead end hallways are the tornado's playground. The situations will present themselves as you look for opportunities to use it without hosing your teammates. I could never imagine soloing without a tornado.
Do you ever actually PLAY a stormy in a team environment? Comparing Tornado to three inherent powers? How is Nado remotely LIKE Fury? 400 damage, yeah maybe, assuming it follows just one guy. And nevermind that since its over a long time period, npc regen will mean you never get the full damage anyhow. Oh and while its doing its dot, the kb has just spread a mob all over the room, meaning your pets cant focus fire and aoes on them, lowering their damage. A death dealing machine? When Freezing rain + Robots melts a +4 spawn in about..10 seconds? That isnt fast enough? Try the same with Tornado, see how fast they die spread to all compass points.
Look for situations to use it without hosing your teammates? lol, Good luck with that! Unless your playing 3 mobs behind the team, using tornado on single bosses (because it rocks at that) or playing 3 mobs ahead (not sure how a MM gets so far ahead) and for some reason you want to scatter mobs..
As I said, the main situations for Tornado is a panic button, to use on a single Hard target, or or a mob that has been locked down with -kb. If you are solo, you wont have a mob sized -kb (I think, unless theres one hidden in the epics). Also, if you are solo, considering a bots storm can go +4/8 easily, WHY would you be using tornado every mob, and ruining your own aoes? -
I am totally secure in NOT being a geek. Seriously, has anyone who isnt (I assume) a hard core fan of manga and comics heard of ANY of those things you are basing the set on?
It does all sound very cool though. -
Just saw two leagues in a row get this bug on Freedom, both near the 250 PO bits. Considering the last lil patch did nothing to TPN (I think?) how did it manage to get totally broken? Is it the usually 'wait till next week for a fix'? Since obviously one of teh new major bits of content being broken doesnt deserve a quick fix..
Even worse, it seems that after the crash, people can not log in those toons for some time. -
Not to be picky but...AE access for prea? Considering how much ae (and now DFB) are abused to level up fast, is that really a good plan?
-
So..you want something that is as tough as the Toughest (generally) armour set in teh game, with the aoe and damage of one of the best melee sets..with a similar mechanic to fury too?
Do you have ANY concept of the different ATs and WHY they are different?
Did KingLove3 put you up to this idea?
Seriously though..you are never going to get a ranged toon as 'tough' as a stoner. Make a blaster, soft cap to s/l/ranged, get clarion, and that is about as good as you'll get. -
Well done KING! Seriously! Each of your posts makes less and less sense. I really did not think you could keep it up, but this thread title takes the cake!
Here, I have a powerset for you.

Maybe its just me..but that Mids section is flat out the worst combination of colors. It hurts my eyes to read it. Change to something with less (more?) contrast.

All I see when I read this is..some guy holding a bullrush (you know, that you get growing at the edge of lakes), trying to hit people with it.

I see that the new grav changes have a similar change to Dim Shift.
