Necromatic

I did mine in Python.

What I did was created a class object that was initialized by a list of lists (where the powerset info is located). I drop this guy into one of two types of functions. One determines the best chain. The other determines time to kill opponents of X def, Y res, etc.

In attack chain function I start a timer with 0.01s increments (not real seconds btw). I then pick out random powers in the set and fire them off, keeping track of activation times, recharge times, accumulated damage etc; remembering the attack chain with the highest damage. I suppose I could have created a mega big matrix with all the parameters, but was too lazy. I'm being very brief in my explanation btw.

I was more interested in determining the best attack chain against an opponent. So, I would have my hero object, with powers, 'fight' another hero object with def, res and hp. Since the attack chain function keeps track of buffs and debuffs, it was interesting to see some powersets sneak ahead of others despite their apparent lack of DPS on paper.

I like force bubble.

I thought they had fixed it. Oh well, I remember a TP attempt against me that failed. Don't think I was mezzed though.

Lot of references to skill based games. OK, make CoV PVP a skill based system. Ranged attacks get a 3-D reticle. Chance to hit is based on how much of the opponent is inside the reticle. AIM and other to hit powers make your reticle bigger. Distance makes the reticle smaller.

Melee reticles are 3-D AoEs based around the character. Hit success depends on how close the opponent is to the center of the AoE reticle.

Everybody wins when there are farms.

I like my spines/wp.

Mez attacks should include cast time (unenhanceable) to mez duration.

I was going to add a suggestion to the suggestion forums, but I think I will post it here is a 'hope' for i17.

I'm hoping both defs and corrs get their inherent's changed in the following ways:

Corrs, change scourge calculation to include an additional percentage based off of how much buffing/debuffing they do. It will work similar to brute fury except that the fury scourge bar contributes a percentage chance to scourge more often than normal.

For defs, drop vigilance for a def scourge analog. The more damage they do the more they contribute to a defender fury bar which increases the chance to critically buff/debuff (double buff or double debuff strength). Furthermore, like scourge, there is a chance to critically debuff/buff when your opponent/ally's health is low.

kk, so 500 base percep with /wp with heightened sense (+300), percep IO (+100) and tactics (+242.2) = 1142.2. This sort of stalker could see a VEAT (stealth capped) at about 290ft.

I bet it will have:
Tesla cage, electric fence, electric fences, lightning field, lightning clap, Tesla cages, short circuit maybe (hope), a pet, and a revamped EM pulse.

Well, you still get tickets which to me seem a little better way of generating inf for DOs->SOs->IOs as opposed to doing the normal mishes. I seem to always outpace my enhancements in normal mishes.

Hmm, I had asked about that before (fulcrum breaking terror), somebody said it didn't.

For ranged, slow activating or slow recharging attacks, I like 2 dam/range HOs, one acc/dam HO, and 2 acc IOs. If I can get a lot of global acc and to hit, maybe replace one of the acc IOs with a proc (one of the 33% 100+ dam ones anyways).

I like /dark with rad.

How bout using stealth + SS or stealth IO to get into position followed by invoke panic from the presence pool before firing fulcrum shift and RoA?

In general, blasters. However, a corruptor could bring a lot to a zone team when more than just damage is needed.

Ok, cool. Thanks for the info!
