Don't modern PC's reboot when one of the CPU chips are dangerously hot?

That may be a problem if the OP's cooling is insufficient and some chip is overheating.

Hi folks, having a somewhat reoccurring problem here, which is quite annoying..

I have Clarion Partial Core Invocation (120s recharge, 120s duration, so its one of the perma ones)

Every once in awhile the power will fire off, but nothing will happen. No graphics or casting animations, the buff doesn't kick in, but the power was used and starts to recharge.. Leaving me with 2 minutes before I can fire it off again.. (which can leave me dead in the water in certain missions like Carnies, if I'm short on BFs)

This seems to happen most often when Clarion wears off while I'm under a previously casted mez, and it attempts to recast itself (I have it on auto)

Under normal circumstances I would be mezed for a second or two, until the recast is complete, then go on my merry way. But now it frequently bugs out and the buff is completely wasted.

It's happened to me in 3 consecutive missions (Freaks, Rikti, Carnies), so something seems to be out of order..

Anyone else having similar problems?

I personally just carry a few extra purples in iTrials. If I find myself in a situation where I'm taking on a lot of enemies with little team help, I pop a purple, which closes the Incarnate Soft Cap pretty readily.

I seldom use em on BAF, use them frequently during the sabotage phase in Lambda, and Keyes is completely random lol.

He means as long as someone touches the buff radius within the Buff's duration, they would get the buff, depending on how much longer the original buff would have lasted..

So let's say a Rad casts AM. (and lets just say it lasts for 2 minutes, don't have the numbers in front of me.)

Mister Brute might have missed the original cast, because he was off Bruting and missed the call. He then realizes it gets close to the Rad Player 30 seconds after the Rad initially casted the buff.

The brute now gets AM, but since the Rad casted it 30 seconds ago, his buff duration is 90 seconds.



I envision it kind of like the buff is constantly radiating from the caster, and other player's have to "Tap it" in order to get the buff. Interesting system, which I wouldn't mind seeing implemented.

He was not suggesting it worked like the Big Bubbles, more like if the Big Bubbles gave you a buff that also worked outside their radius, whos' duration was dependant on how long ago the buff was "emanated"

Or correct me if I'm mistaken xD

Custom mobs with Buffs/debuffs can turn whimpy NPCs into terrible behemoths. The key is in balancing it so that its fun n challenging, and not cheap.

Ive tried Sonic/Trap Corr, Traps/Dark Defender and Bots/Traps MM..

My favorite is by far Bots/Traps (But I won't go into that, as you mentioned you would prefer to not play a MM), though Traps/Dark is also quite good.

I had my Sonic/Traps around back when PGT was a proc-monster, and the nerf/fix forever soured me on the toon, so I can't say how well she plays now adays.

I find /Dark synergizes quite well with Traps for several reasons;

It's To-Hit debuffs compliment FFGen extremely well. All this protection lets you easily use Trip Mines in the midst of battle.

It's AoE immob is very good at keeping mobs from running, as well as on top of stuff like caltrops.

It has a self-heal, the one major thing that traps lacks. (Traps has a nice regen buff, but sometimes you just need a good ole fashioned heal)

That and both sets are excellent for procs, and combined you have proc-mania on your hands.

Been watching the physical DVDs for DS9 pretty religiously for the last month or so. Watching about 2 episodes per day, and loving the series so far.

Good to know they will be streaming all the treks soon too.

Now watch out for the price hike!

I'm rather fond of my Dark/Dark/Dark defender, one of the oldest toons that I still actually play.

Might also be worth your time to wait for Dark/Dark blasters just to see how they turn out, could be interesting.

Here's a list of what Arcs give how many merits, might be of use to you;

Some give better Merits over time, but I'm not sure which ones.

However, on average they give less Merits over time than TF's, albeit they don't require an entire team to do either.

This is how that "other Superhero MMO" had their Forcefields setup.. And I didnt like it one bit..

Especially after they nerfed em into the ground (along with everything else, but the forcefields got hit extra hard)

I would use this myself on a constant basis.
