You build also doesn't give any extra slots to health or stamina. I'm also not a huge fan of Drain Psyche--say what you will about it, but I've played it on a dom and a blaster, and never saw the point. Its radius is so small that I have to run up and hug my enemies, putting myself at risk in the processes, and it needs accuracy in it to hit anything above my level to provide me any benefit..
DP is REALLY that good. If you aren't getting mileage out of it, it has more to do with your play style than the strength of the power. It is just flat out stupidly good. -

Welp, color me impressed. I wonder how much dmg is coming form fire cages as well and/or from pets? This is making my dark/dark/leviathan feel gimp with his 5min+ times ....

I liked the arc a lot, excluding the very first mish where I just got utterly beat down depending on what char I played. I am still peeved that they killed lava damage.

Praetorian hami avatar in underground trial was pretty frickin awesome. Id love to see what hami himself would be like....

I dunno. 20 levels was not good in GR. I am still pissed about that. I really liked GR. A lot. I utterly despised how empty it was. I could maybe group with 1 person a day if I was lucky.
Redside sucks too. Why? Nobody plays. Blueside rewards are just THAT MUCH BETTER. Any blueside TF generates sometimes as much as 2-3 times as many merits as an equivalent redside TF. Who wants to play with nobody for worse rewards? Just because story is better? Sorry, that just isnt acceptable. -
I had only a single -4 kb in my tw/da scrapper, and I had no problems with knockback. Permahasten imo is a lot better than having an extra -4 kb. A lot might disagree, but you are a stalker, and not intending to be hit. Given your defense, and the fact you would hardly be getting hit in the first place, is it really worth it blowing your hasten-driven astrikes for just a few points kb protect?

well to me it smacks of desperation, someway they can show their bosses how much activity the market is getting, boosting numbers so to speak. I also think for the most part they will be "clearance" items.

You had david bowie in your 1hit1nders... and im sorry, he was far from a one hit wonder. He had many many many hit songs.

People continuously intentionally overlook the basic fact that conventional purples are better than SBE. Time and time and time again.
You can boost a conventional purple. You can not boost an SBE. This makes one VASTLY better than the other. SBE purples are only for casual people trying to gain an edge they dont have but aren't interested in minmax supertoons. -

I guess I got my answer - Because people don't like it.
Several have already indicated in this thread that they like the set. Do you speak for them when you say "people don't like it"? -
I have a tw/dark/body/cardiac scrapper who kicks quite a lot of ***. And pretty frickin tough to kill too. TONS of set bonuses, but way over softcap range/melee and huge resists.
-
S/L only defense on a dom is kind of, well, not great. It is really nice, but late game content is largely energy/psi damage, so you might want to consider that.
I run reactive/rebirth/spiritual for my elec/psi/ice, and don't use hoarfroast at all. It is far too busy a char to spend time clicking on it, when more control and more dp gives a much better result all around (imo). -
Quote:Just a point, if you have an extra slot, shove it in superior. 2 endmods level 45 gets you 9end instead of 5. Thats ~10% increase in end, pretty good imo!Originally Posted by Stampead
Prior to Superior Conditioning, you have 100 endurance. Say each tick is 5%, meaning you recover 5 endurance.
If you add Superior Conditioning and have 105 endurance, each tick may be 6 endurance. -
Quote:Fallacy. Most AOEs have a diamater sufficient to handle grouping of a 0/8 spawn, excluding some pbaoes. However, many pbaoes even have a diamater sufficient to tag all mobs in a 0/8 spawn anyway without them moving. If you disagree, then I suggest you do some testing.Originally Posted by dugfromthearth
immobilizing them separated greatly reduces the effectiveness of other AoE's
there are multiple ways to engage the foe and the immobilize just ruined most of them -
Quote:Ok, catch is, if you are in a vicious fight with an AV or giant monster, you may not whack it before your 3 minutes is up. I totally agree with the bit on nukes. You said it very precisely.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Now, yes, the crashes are harsh, but it's kind of to the tune of the powers - you get three minutes of extreme survivability, so you BETTER have killed what was threatening you by then. The game gave you a generous window of opportunity, so if you fail... Well, you have only yourself to blame. Besides, with power blinking, it's easy enough to tell when a T9 will drop. Unlike other click effects, T9s start blinking LONG ahead of time, I think at least 30 seconds early or some such.
Again, they're not ideal, but they give you a fair chance. Compare that to, say, Blaster Nukes which pretty much pull your pants down after you use them. If you don't kill everything, you're vulnerable, and there's no way in hell the game will let you kill everything in a single shot every time. Blaster Nukes are designed to be a gamble, and one that the game loads against you. God Mode powers are an opportunity, Nukes are a roll of the dice.
And that's NOW. Before, they used to stun you for five seconds after you used them. -
Quote:In DA if you are +3 it isn't a problem. If you aren't +3, it is a problem. Content outside of DA though tends to be pretty trivial with a build like this. I wonder how it will fare in future content where we may be facing +4-+6 content possibly.Originally Posted by Kaatrina
Yeah but you have to take in account that i have lots of -tohit debuffs witch also help and mobs in DA even at 54 are only 1 lvl higher then me since i am lvl 53 in that zone. i have done lots of DA mishes with no issues from them they are trivial plus in teams with all the buffs is also a big difference and when i pop gather shadows i also get a boost so i can manage alphas really well long enough to lock them down.

They already mentioned cross-server stuff in the survey and it was mentioned somewhere by a redname.

Shared xp? Whats t hat?

Quote:Yeah, this stops me from taking 90% of the tier9s. I just hate doing something doing something doing something and then getting flattened because I used a tier9 in a panic.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Yes, the drawbacks can be overcome, but that just makes it all the more pointless to add drawbacks in the first place. .
It is just easier to chew on inspirations than to use the t9. Moreover, since you can convert, it makes most sense to just autoconvert with a macro to get the inspirations your char needs most at any given time. As a result, the added defense, resist, damage, or other bits are all renedered useless by your ability to convert inspirations to what you need to survive.
The two exceptions to this are crashless nukes and self-rezes, both of which do not nuke your ability to continue fighting when the effect wears off. -
Quote:I disagree 100%. There are chars, like dark doms, which can leverage a very significant amount of control with their immob, including -tohit, -fly, -immob, and some damage to boot. While you complain as a tanker that you cant herd them, maybe you should consider there is no need for you to herd them, but simply taunt and engage, The game is not all about taunt-herd-kill. There are multiple ways to engage the foe, and the significant amount of control a dom under dom can leverage more than makes up for the inconvenience of you having to walk 3 feet from mob to mob. For sure, your taunt has an aoe, so they are all focused on you anyway.Originally Posted by Sailboat
It makes me cranky to see the Immobs go out the instant we see spawns, before the Tanker can gather them, freezing them in their (widely separated) places.

I thought so too, but quad xp (8xp during double xp weekend) is just too good to pass up. I went from 22-42 in under an hour, so... for a char I was just slotting with SOs and had no intention of slotting sets into, this got me to a point where I finally was end-stable, as I certainly wasn't before I got body mastery. Whats the point of having a char thats not fun to play? This saved me a horrible period of time leveling and not having fun.
edit: I did not buy the 8 hour one. OMG that is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO expensive! -
If it were half price, or 25% off, would definitely buy. At 700, I am waiting for whatsit packs. But totally love it.

Quote:Don't you think this is a very anti-client thing to say? When people burn tokens points and cash to get something you can get by _just doing the same thing_, why should they make it easier? The wolf is considered a bonus, not the main focus of the packs.Originally Posted by Darth_Khasei
Amen. Let's stop hiding stuff behind Supergamble Packs as they are popular enough to stand on their own. Allow for us to be able to get the costume and the black wolf now please. As stated no need to continue to play hide and seek as it is in fact TOTALLY annoying.
If you think it is so important to buy the wolf, it should be the cost of 19200 points. Thats 24 packs at 80 points * 10 (1 in 242 packs). I would feel this is appropriate, because it is the _only_ cost you can offer it without the superpack audience feeling ripped off, just like you feel ripped off when they buy SBEs. Door swings both ways. -
Quote:This. Reward tokens are kind of precious. You never know what might show up. Points stuff; well, you can always buy points or just use free points.Originally Posted by SwellGuy
I save the Reward Tokens for things I cannot get any other way.
edit: I made 1.7 bil off merits/converters I got from my packs. I am happy.
Interestingly, I have hoarded my inf... First bil in 8 years of playing. -
Gee, are we getting water blasting, affinity, and bio armor? MUHAHAHAHA.
This survey was frickin awesome.
So much win....
