Stalkers do not get Quick Recovery-esque powers. I dunno why, but it's clear they don't. As Stalkers get EA as well, that kinda shoots this one down. Which sucks since it's a kinda good idea.


Is this even possible?


A mini-Build Up? With a big hole to follow? Not sure I like this at all. Especially since EA's RES values are already lambasted as being useless.


A Rez? ...Interesting.


But all of these neglect to take the cottage rule into account. Any changes to Conserve Power MUST retain some level of END Discount in its effects.

Soon™


As for what would replace Conserve Power if/when it gets proliferated? Hrm... tough one. We know the cottage rule is still in effect, so it can't deviate from its original goal too much. If you look at how CP was changed to Energize for the proliferation, it still retains much of its END Discount design. It just cut back some of that and added in the Heal and +Regen.

Since Energy Aura already has a Heal in it, I'd imagine CP in this case would receive the Energize treatment, but would give either a small DEF or RES buff instead of the Heal/+Regen. At least, that's what I'd wish for.

Same here.

But I'll settle for 10 full sets.

"Talsorian" was the in-universe name given to the technology (possibly magitech) that made monomolecular energy structures possible.

Out-of-universe, "Talsorian" was an homage/nod to the R. Talsorian games, of which, I believe, Positron is a fan of.

The Vanguard, formerly Talsorian, Axe exists already.

As for a "tech" axe, the Impervium Axe fits nicely, IMO.

I don't think this is a bug.

The weapon/shield carrying stance while running is determined by which nodes are being used by a weapon. If only one is in use, it will be carried to the back, not in front. If both are in use, one will be in the front, the other to the back.

Since you Shield/Fire only has one weapon (the shield), he'll carry it to the back. Pulling out one of the Fire Swords may change that, but since those are power effects and not "Custom Weapons," it may not change your character's running stance.

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPN- wait... scratch that.

ALL GLORY TO THE UNNAMED ANIMATOR!

Fiends and Mayhem; Red and Purple, respectively.

Sounds new to me.

I agree. I believe that long PBAoE attack is the 9 mini-nuke. It's long, it's damaging, it's really flashy. All point to being a heavy hitting tool. Also it would continue the trend that Ranged Weapon Sets have mini-nukes as opposed to Nova-esque nukes (AR's Full Auto and Arch's Rain of Arrows).

Would you settle for both?

We've only seen 6-7 of the full 9 powers. And even then things are subject to change. "Special ammo" just happens to be one option available.


I do not recall any such mention, other than that Positron specifically said Scrappers would never get Dual Pistols. That was about the extent of DP's Dev mentions.


According to Hero-Con Reports (See Here), Dual Pistols' ammunition can be changed on the fly. You don't have to pick which to make when you make the character.

Facing Zombies? Swap to Incendiary (Zombies are weak to both Lethal and Fire).
Hellions/Fire Resistant foes got you down? Pop in some Cryo rounds.

Knock is a very underestimated mitigation tool, that's for sure.

For all the flak it catches, Energy Blast is a very survivable set because of all the knock it's got. If you really think about it, knocking a foe down is pretty much equivalent to a very short (1-2s) mez. And the fun thing about knock is that relatively few foes actively resist it, compared to actual mezzes, that is.

Doubtful.

I think there were some reports from Hero-Con where ninjas were mentioned in regards to the next pack. To me, this means it'll be the Natural Booster. And that new armor piece looks neither "Natural" nor "ninja."

Close. Archery's "secondary effect" is having extra ACC in its attacks. Even more than other weapon sets.

Normal ACC is 1.0.
Weapon Set ACC is 1.05.
Archery's is 1.15.

The debuffs apply to any foe (up to 16) in the AoE every .2s (5 times a second, IOW). These debuffs last half a second and do not self-stack.

IF the foe remains in the AoE, they will be debuffed for a maximum 30.5s.

IF the foe leaves the AoE, they will be debuffed for a maximum half second after they leave the patch.


Pretty much, but as the patch is 25' radius, it's pretty big.


It's 3% chance... every .2s. So 5 chances for a 3% chance to KD every second. For 30 seconds.


The Hold doesn't have a "chance to." It's automatic. If a ToHit check is passed, the Hold applies 100% of the time.


4.47s at level 50.


Not very since the debuffs are auto-hit and much more important. If you want the Hold to hit, though, you may want to kick in a bit.


Yes and yes. Think of Liquefy as a Radiation Infection that you plant on the ground instead of on a foe. It's just a little extra effects for flavor, but the debuff values are quite comparable. And if you know what RI can do, then you've got a good idea what Liq can do.
