Neo_G_Dice

Been using Mids Hero Designer v1.4 for a while, trying to get my MM perfect.
But when I stuck several defense IO's in for example, Personal Force Field, it would then say somewhere that a high-rate of ED Reduction has been applied.

Typical Message:
PERSONAL FORCE FIELD

Defense:
Total Effect: 82.88%
With ED applied:59.43%

ED Reduction: 23.44%(28.29% of total)
The highest level of ED Reduction is being applied.
Threshold: 60%

Can someone tell me what this means? It'd be a great help.

NOTES: PFF is 4-slotted. 2 IO's from Red Fortune Set and 2 from Luck of The Gambler Set;
Red Fortune: Defense, and Def.+ Rech.
Luck of The Gambler: Defense, and Def.+ End.

Looks like a good synergy. Good debuffs with rad and ta, -res stacking on bosses with two sonics and more.

You're gonna love Archery/EM. I do.

I've decided to settle for Ill/Empath. The alt's name is Hex Luminae.
I'll see you guys on Friday.

As i believe in action than waiting i think we can start this Friday evening at our regular meeting time; 19:00 BST.

Also i decided to join with my Battle Sorcerer (i have to re-roll him as a Kin/Dark first tho. ). Leveling a kin defender with PuGs can be a pain so playing with the guys i know and trust will be wiser.

If Neo'll decide to pick Kinetics for his Illusion troller or Toy Robot want to roll a defender i can join with Star-runner WP/EM with more tank like build.

Yeah, I can do Friday 7pm.
Just an update on my character for the team. I've boiled it down to two choices. Either an Illusion/Empath Controller or an Illusion/Storm Controller. I'm yet to try the Kin secondary.
Most likely I'll stick with the empath, it's easier to use, and I believe that it'd be better for our team than the Storm Controller I have.
Both of them are already made, so I can wait till Friday.

Ah, I posted on the wrong damn thread xD
Hi guys.
I'm gonna make a new alt, and I'll be willing to join depending on what day. So I know if any events or appointments collide.
I'm gonna test out a bunch of secondaries that go well with Illusion control. And bring an old character back to life.

Good day. I've only came onto the forums recently.
I recently got my Mastermind to 50. Currently I'm working on his slots, etc.

Here are his powers:
Force Bolt
Battle Drones, Protector Bots, and Assault Bot.
Deflection Shield
Insulation Shield
Equip Robot, and Upgrade Bot.
Fitness, Health, and Stamina.
Assault, Maneuvers, Tactics, and Vengeance.
Hover, Fly, and Group Fly.
Personal Force Field
Dispersion Bubble
Force Bubble
Charged Armour, and Electrifying Fences.
Oh, and Repair.

I admit, I kinda struggled with what to choose, because I don't quite know what is the best thing to pick for Point Cerebrum. But so far he is doing ok. I just came to find out if anyone had any advice so I could make him better.

Cheers.

O_o

Huh. Weirdly enough, I stuck one of those enhancements on my main MM's Assault Bot, and I see the differences.
Watching all those numbers that the missiles give off get bigger. Its quite special to me.
And I only paid 20million for mine. 70 million?? Damn.

Its admittedly an impressive character. That I would love to team with as my Mastermind sometime.
I do however object about Aid Other. It's bullcrap, unless you're not being hit, and you're in a very close range to your pets. And unless you enhance it very well for its Heal, it's just not worth it. I respecced out of it.

Though Protector Bots still get stuck regularly even on flat ground, and the /traps FF Generator still occasionally "gets lost" temporarily when following you (thus you lose your mez protection...)

[/ QUOTE ]

From what I've read on the US boards, it appears that the Protector bots aren't getting stuck on the ground. They're getting stuck on their Seeker Drones.

At work atm, so can't go digging for info/links, but from what I recall, the seekers may be blocking pet movement, even after they've got foom, hence why recall works, since you yank the bot off the seeker drone 'obstruction'

[/ QUOTE ]

Cheers for that, I went digging and found it detailed here.

Seeker drones aren't despawning properly (they go invisible though) and they aren't pushable. That'd explain it... although it's odd that after a while the Bots can jump "free" of the invisible obstruction.

They are the Seeker Drones. I've had to suffer with it from like lvl 32 or something and wonder what the Hell is going on.
And I hope to God that this IO damage thing isn't bugged and not working. I just spent 63million on my Assault Bot for Soulbound Allegiance, and other IO's

Damn, seeing as this is a new team I won't be able to get my lvl20 archery and enrgy blaster in there:P
I wanna try the Ice/Kin. That, or some form of Illusion Controller.

I found it fairly easy to solo a couple of heroes and AV's with my main Mastermind. Robots/FF.
Might not seem the best sets to try soloing, but I can seem to handle it. =D

Ms. and Miss Liberty got freaking owned. I was fairly chuffed.^_^
My defence is slotted so damn good I managed to finish off Valkyrie, as a purple, when the rest of my team died.
Mynx, Nosferatu, and all those other AV's in that SF were..fairly easy, only cos i was in an SF.
The two that get me are Foreshadow. And Seraphina.
Foreshadow - For some reason, Force Bubble didn't do anything. A kung-fu AV that regens and flies? Gimped, I say.

Seraphina - Well, simple really. Psionics cut my bots and I to shreds.

The Old Ladies idea is frikkin hilarious, I wish it could be actually made. XD
I dunno about my ideas, most of them have already been suggested. Plants, animals....usual shizz.

I've overplayed Dark on thugs way too much. I'm currently working on a Poison Thugs MM, and it's working out surprisingly well. The debuffs are quite something with the thugs overall strength.
And a few of us are talking about Thugs/FF? Sounds...awesome.

Well, on Union I'm testing out Necro and Trick Arrow. SO FAR, it's ok, but I've got too many alts i love playing to test it much these days.
