    The Legendary Living Hellfire flies again!
    You are not legendary, you're forum cartel.

    Therefore, you do not exist.

    Welcome back, that is, if you existed in the first place

    Edit: Thanks for the answer about the bow and shield, I just wanted to make sure I hadn't somehow missed them.
    To be fair to David - he is concept - he doesn't have to deal with limitations like 2-bone vertices and stuff.

    Any chance we could get those bow and shield items made? I know it won't be "as simple" as remaking the baron jackets and stuff, but it'd be nice to have

    I knew about them shutting down the corner pull bit (made sense, that one) but when they change how he takes damage from the lava/magma?

    It's not odd. They are different ATOs. Mutually exclusive with each other, like stealth IOs, but they are named differently.

    Besides - lets say you have three normal, three upgraded to purple levels, and they work together for set bonuses...

    Do you get 8.75, 10, or 18.75% recharge bonus?

    edit: right as i submitted this post it did it again
    No data received
    Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data.
    Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.

    is what it gives me when page fails to load
    Same - running Chrome 17.0.963.56 and getting the same message frequently.

It'd be like throwing a defense component into the blaster set. You'd have one power able to use it that would take it.
  12. If you are able to do morality tips, remember. For brutes Frenzy(billian alignment power) grants a full bar of Fury.
  13. Me 400 would e a better price. Not sure, howeve, if I'd use it even then.

I do not understand how that is comparable to the other archtype ATOs.
    hey, could be the MM set. Bunch of enhancement for powers that really don't benefit from that type of enhancement (recharge in the case of the majority of the pets you slot it in).
  15. For most, it seems to be the damage dots stack 4, the debuffs 8, IIRC.
  16. And as for performance Shifter having Accuracy? Dark Consumption, and other attacks, where they do damage or other debuff to the targets nearby and +End you.

    It was "fixed" because of people outright griefing those without mez protection. I twas really bad during the winter event after the set came out, people using it in Speedboost to double-grief those running the slopes.

    It was fixed as an exploit.

    Fairly certain this is wrong. Several procs work on the power's caster always. (Note, sometimes the caster is a psuedopet!) The Theft of Essence proc works this way as I recall. However, most do not work this way (other than the proc-like 120s) and are indeed target only. Read the enhancement - if it's a proc or proc like enhancement it will mention "Target" or "Caster"

    Ice/Ice any-melee-other-than-a-tank has been on my wishlist for a while.
    It's worth a look again since they changed fury.

    That, for major - ATOs and SBEs are not under the inventions license - and without making them be "different" enhancements (ala IO vs SBE), i don't even think merit vs Super Pack ATOs could be be told apart by the system, and therefore if they blocked ATO access it would violate the "you buy it you got it" deal they do.

    Anyway Roger - so far there really isn't anything Praetorian specific post 20. Even first ward assumes you cross over, I think.

I have utmost confidence that the devs never sat about and said, "What we need is a proc that buffs the baddies. That'd be in demand!"

    Regardless of intent, tho, that doesn't answer the question I asked. Does the thing give the Conductive Aura caster the +End, or the baddies affected by it?
    He told you how to see what it affects

    As far as how it works, it's a case of either the proc targets the caster, or the target of the power.

    If it was made caster only, it would never benefit anyone BUT the caster. As it is now, if my teammate gets sapped to 0, I can use Speedboost and not only help counter the -Recovery, but it has a chance to help my friend via the proc.

    Actually, I believe you do not even need to do that anymore. Just copy the folder, and start the updater to install.
  24. Actual IOs should not work if you are premium and don't have an inventions license (either bought or perma) - no matter if they are "regular" enhancement IOs, or globals/procs.

    you can go to a trainer and switch to an alternate build and fill that with SOs until you go back to VIP.

I'm thinking that you can on the first 5 in the set, however for the 6th enhancement in the set, you can't, or am I wrong? I have no idea. From what I was reading, it seems people are recommending 5 normal slots with the 6th slot being the superior. Just need a little help understanding the +1 enhancement boosters in regards to if they work on ATOs or not.
    Enhancement boosters only work on IOs.

    They do not work on SBEs or ATOs, both of which are also attuned.
