it should also be noted that anything past 3 SOs of any enhancement is completely redundant, as enhancements lose effectiveness due to Enhancement Diversification

Bio, take it from my FF defender. You are flat out wrong. With the exception of psy attacks that bypass force-fields entirely, the number of times anybody on my team takes more damage than they can sustain without an outside heal/regen buff do not warrant a power selection.

[/ QUOTE ]

That may be true for 90% of the content, but you cannot run a STF/LRSF w/ FF alone. You cannot run a MA mission w/ lvl 54 enemies w/ FF alone. I know I'm picking on FF here, but there aren't many sets that are *only* buff/debuff w/ no heal whatsoever. I can only think of: FF, Sonic, TA, Cold Dom. Even traps has a +regen buff, and storm has a heal-other.

[/ QUOTE ]

I ran a STF with just a Son on my WP tanker...

yep, no heals.

6-slotting with recharge is fine with you have TOs and DOs, but when you get SOs, three recharge SOs will be all you need (after that, you'll hit the heavy diminishing returns with ED).

[/ QUOTE ]

which is alright, since if you have 6 slots, you can do the standard 3 rech/3endmod.

OP, I'd also recommend picking up hasten, because it goes *so* well with AM.

If people weren't so deluded into thinking a healer is needed to survive in this game, then we wouldn't have this problem. A good stormy, with or without O2 Boost, far outperforms an average empath.

this pretty much sums it up.

considering the thematic quality of Fire/Therm, it's a relatively rare combination, for 2 reasons.

1. Thermal is surprisingly rare
2. Fire paired with anything other than Kin or Rad is (un)surprisingly rare

Honestly, I don't have any experience with thermal past level 10 or Fire past level 26, so I really can't give you any insight.

sounds like you want Grav/Rad.

I've rolled quite a few grav toons (both trollers and doms) in the 3+ years that I've played, but only my Grav/Rad has been strong enough to get up to wormhole.

Grav is a pretty late bloomer, rad is a very early bloomer, so they're great in combination.

actually you can have the porter with out being able to get into the vip room. you need the vip gold club member badge if im correct to get into the vip room.

[/ QUOTE ]

and that is the only way to get the porter.

however, you have to be level 3 to get the porter.

now, my question is, at levels less than 10 are you really going to use the tailor rather than just re-roll?

And reflective windows? Do you have ANY idea how much computation goes into reflective effects? Your graphics card (or your computer) would have to trace the line of sight from your camera position to the first pixel in the window, calculate the reflection angle, and then trace the line of sight until it intersects something, or reaches the limit of visibility. And you better hope that what it intersects isn't another reflective window or it will have to keep going. Then it would have to do it again for the window pixel next to that one. And the one next to that. And next to that. For every pixel in the window. And the window next to it. And next to that. For every single reflective window visible on your screen.


[/ QUOTE ]

I just want to comment on this, real quick.

with the proper graphics settings (read: high end graphics cards with lots of visual settings turned way up) water is reflective, mind you, it doesn't work very well, it doesn't do all of the calculations you mentioned, so it's kind of cool, but sometimes can look really stupid because you *know* that's not what it should look like.

I was thinking it would be pretty cool if they allowed a total 300k per account, that way if you wanted one very long and complicated arc, you could do it, but if you wanted 5 1-mission arcs, you could also do that.

I think that this issue has less to do with new players having trouble learning how to manage their Endurance bar and more about players who are use to having SOs/IOs and Stamina and don't want to have to pay attention to their Endurance bars.

You keep asking for reasons why reducing the timer would be bad, but I haven't seen a good reason why the current system is broken. There is no risk in using Rest unless you do it in the middle of a fight, so the current debuffs are trivial. Your reduced timer idea also does not address the fact that it also is a self heal.

Finally if all else fails and none of the other options given for End Bar management works for you, you can always put more than the default slot into Rest to reduce Recharge time. Afterall Respecs area about as common as Costume tokens these days.

[/ QUOTE ]

You are arguing toward the fact that we should have to stand around waiting for our hp/end to return at a rather low rate while rest is recharging...

That is rather strange.

Look, here's the deal, give me *one* good reason why standing around for 2 minutes after a fight is better than standing around for 15 seconds after a fight. I can give you a compelling reason for the opposite... it means I can spend more time actually playing the game and less time waiting to play the game.

[ QUOTE ]
For some reason, this was the first thing to come to mind...

[/ QUOTE ]

that's funny, I was more thinking this

(QR)

I think the real key is greatly reducing the recharge in rest (probably in the neighborhood of 60-75%.) I see no reason for it to take 3 mins to recharge. other than a blatant time sink. I know of other games that have an out-of-combat buff to health/endurance recovery for the entire game, I don't see why rest, a power that makes you incredibly vulnerable, shouldn't be available nearly all the time.

As for brawl... I could see it costing 0 endurance only if the devs removed the ability to put sets into it, otherwise, lowering the end to 1 or 1.5 would probably be sufficient.

Please...

Just a note, it won't save height settings (those aren't stored as part of the costume). For that, you'll have to eyeball it.

[/ QUOTE ]

are you sure about that?

I'm pretty sure the first thing in the costume save file "Scale" is the height

I don't actually have any proof past experience in custom critters in the MA, but they save the same file info.

you can load it in either place, you can also save it in either place.
