Necromatic

I haven't played in RV in a while, at that time it was the chance for placate proc that broke psi. Is it still true? Other than that...

Been running 11.2 for a couple days now. No more freezing.

I've had similar problems (not only 11.6, but 11.5). On another thread, somebody said it didn't happen with 11.2. So, I've downgraded to 11.2 and haven't had the crashing issue for a couple days now (it would crash several times a night).

I have an I5 with an ati 5870. Ran fine previously. Now with more memory (had 4gb, now 12gb), newer drivers, I crash every so often. Also, although it does mostly happen during graphically intensive scenes, it crashed during a load map scene.

One of the posters above mentioned 11.2. So, I downgraded my ati drivers to 11.2 and I haven't experienced the crash since. However, it has been only a few hours.

Good set mule. Or de-aggro yourself in a pinch.

One of my favorite combos that I used to play a lot before altitus. In that, I have discovered a few things:

Putting the two targetted AOE procs and the slow proc in creepers doubles its damage output. (Roughly)

Putting the other procs doesn't help that much as the frequency is less than the Targetted AOE and Slow powers.

Fulcrum seems to only boost damage when the creeper vines (aka the tentacles) are present in carrion creepers. So, the course of action is to creep first and crum later.

Get some stealth (enough so that mobs do not see you so stealth plus stealth IO). It's hilarious to watch the patch catch up to you after passing mobs. Be careful though, the mobs will aggro to you first then the tentacles (in most cases).

Get Roots the AOE immob and spam it.

For all power sets paired with claws/thorns/spines/dp/did I miss something power?/etc (basically, every power that incurs a redraw animation), have an alternate animation that includes the paired weapon.

I see that darkest night with dp has this. Why not everything else?

A quick search didn't show that this problem has already been reported.

Anyways, most times when I use Darkest Night I see my character animating it, but no activation of the power. I usually have to click a second time before the power is actually activated. Kind of annoying since the animation isn't exactly the quickest in the world.

Gonna try this one. I use Paralytic Radial Flawless.

I know, no fluffy, but I am working on a different build that uses him as well as Black hole lol. It has it's uses for farming.

Maybe a pistols/dark corr. It's got -to hit and -dam and -regen with a strong heal. Also -res with the patch. The pistols part brings the AOE along with a little utility in -def and more -dam.

In my experience, targetted AOE fires with the same regularity as the slow.

Very cool. I would suggest to add a rather unique effect to the hold powers. The effect truly freezes time for those caught in the time hold. No recharge, no regen, no nothing.

Also, they will take no damage and are not affected by buff debuff (or other status etc.) effects for the duration of the hold. Makes sense since they are frozen in time.

However, and a big however, any damage and effects that are cast on them are during the hold, come due immediately after the hold finishes. So, they are frozen in time while the team can stack attacks and effects that trigger as soon as the hold stops. Wham!

I posted a suggestion here:
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=259976
Basically, allow slots for swap ammo, those slots additively apply to DP powers.

Slow enhancements will apply to all powers when using cryo rounds. Chemical and Pyro rounds will allow extra enhancements of set types allowed for each power. Case in point, targeted AOEs will only enhance powers that except them.

Knockback when no special rounds are chosen.

This should provide a small damage boost and allow a little extra enhancements for special effects.

Hey All,

I like playing the Dual Pistols set, but have been a little underwhelmed about the swap ammo ability. I realize also the dual pistols doesn't necessarily bring it home has far as damage. So, here is my suggestion to fix both, but more or less change the mechanic of the swap ammo ability.

Here it goes:
First off, allow enhancement slots to be placed into the swap ammo power. The slots will take enhancements reflective of all the possible slotting options that all DP powers have. Targeted AOE, PBAOE, knockback, slow and ranged.

Now that we have slots there, what do we do with them? Well, when the swap ammo power is activated, and a special round is selected, each power will accrue the extra slotting from swap ammo power but only the set types from slots that make sense for each power and only the slots with set types that make sense for the chosen round.

For example, if I slot a ranged IO into swap ammo, then only powers that accept ranged IOs will receive the extra slot has a bonus. Of course, DR and ED still apply.

Ultimately, this allows more enhancement flexibility. A complete example, suppose I have a slow dam proc, damage/slow IO, Decimation build-up proc, Positron Acc/Dam IO and an Oblit Dam. Now I hit swap ammo and change to cryo rounds. All powers will now receive extra slow dam proc, and the damage/slow IO.

If I select chemical, or fire, then all enhancement types except slow and knockback will be considered for extra slotting for DP powers. Chemical of course adds the chemical affects, and fire the extra damage in addition to the potential extra slots from allowed set enhancements. The Decimation proc goes to both ranged powers (Pistols, Dual Wield), while the Posi goes to Empty clips, Bullet Rain, and Piercing rounds. Oblit goes to HoB.

I guess you could consider Swap Ammo as similar to the Alpha incarnate slot. However, the affects only apply to powers that can receive the appropriate set enhancement and only if a particular round is selected.

When no rounds are selected, then the knockback enhancement is applied to all powers

Seems solid.

#1 Unresisted damage on AS. Don't fault this request because it broke certain aspects of the game. Fix those and this is good and balanced.

#2 I love it since it is similar to my old idea on criticals. Basically stalker 'fury'. Increases while hidden, although in my idea it did more damage automatically, but an increased crit chance or more damage is more or less the same thing. Increased crit chance or damage is gone the second a stalkers aggro anything.

#3 Sounds fun.

Whatever one you can get the very rare to first.

However, status protection pets are probably best for controllers.

I am wondering if this is working now with the new patch. I've noticed my creepers are doing the procs now (awesome). It appears the bramble procs it too.

Yep, limited number of stacks. It's as epic as it gets. Btw, it appears the bramble patch in creepers also procs. Very cool, this is about a 75% damage increase for me.

Creepers needs more procs imho. What works well is the targeted AOE ones. I have studied the frequencies of the procs in creepers and found that the targeted AOE ones proc as often as the slow. So, there are two procs to put in there, posi and javelin, in addition to the slow. You could put more, but the immob and knockback ones just don't proc very often.

I don't remember the amount of damage enhancement I have in mine (at least one dam/rech maybe two), but proc damage outweighs normal 2 to 1. I even buff my vines with FS (which is very tricky BTW).

I think optimal would be something like 3 procs plus two dam/rech and one acc/rech or one dam/rech and two acc/rech (still researching how much acc/rech helps).

Achievement: T4 LORE PET!!!!
(Dis)Achievement: Did trials so fast, didn't know that very rare was, er, very rare.

Use the chat logs. Best way to be sure.

I read somewhere that a mob will go after the lowest hp opponent when all things are equal. I can attest to this when playing my controller.
