Shields has never sucked and anyone who says otherwise is a moron.

I guess that makes me a moron because there terrible coming from a 50 Shield/SS tank. If your willing to spend like 300 billion on your tank yes, its gonna be good no matter what set you choose.

Without all those weeks farming though, you will be just be the squishiest scranker there is.

Seriously, when you get it to 50, raise yourself a 'proper' tank and compare them. You will see the difference instantly.

300 billion?

If you take weave, you only need a gaussian set, the +def unique from steasfast prot to land at ~42%, add one other melee in range and voila, softcap.
Or slot in the two defense toggles with red fortune and then add two multi-strikes pbaoe sets and you'll be past the defcap as well without having anyone near you.

Those sets are relatively cheap, the only real expensive one in the +def unique, but at 125 merits, kinda easy to get. (In comparison, i softcapped my shield scrapper for under 300 million, which is much harder).

Shield tanks are quite good, if you think they suck it's your loss and you might just need to learn to play.

aah, bah! i know what i meant!

I find it kinda funny he doesn't show how he splits the nictuses, as i'm pretty certain there's some exploit involved in doing so.

Still quite the feat tho.

I usually reply to tells. That said, i cannot reply to tells i miss due to being afk. Nor am i fond of replying to tells which are outright rude.
I think if they make the effort to send me a tell, the least i can do i make the effort to reply to it.

Either way you put it, it becomes an opinion.

slotted Swift + hover is around 24-25-ish mph fly speed. Which to me is fairly quick. It's faster then not using sprint, because i personally never use sprint in a mission, it's an awful end hog.
If i make a melee char with hover, i will slot out swift and hover so that it becomes as fast as possible. I'm not a fan of toggling powers on and off while in a mission. So to me hover is already worthwhile. Perhaps with this change i'll need less slotting in hover, or i'll just take the speedboost and become quicker.

Yikes, what happened to Nis shoulders

I'll be there for monster hunt, not for the shivans or nukes tho.

[ QUOTE ]
Speaking of which, will this make Hover worthwhile* for melee ATs?

Then why ask about an opinion?

[ QUOTE ]
Ah oks,,

so any suggestions what to use to stack onto a Shield / SS Tank ?

Gaussians in Rage or something like that?

[/ QUOTE ]

Sets with typed defense.

Guassian is good.

For ranged you have Red Fortune and Makos bite for example.
AoE Aegis and Sciroccos.
Melee Obliteration and Touch of Death.

There's more, those just examples.

It also works with the rikti invasion code. Pets can target appearing rikti when they are flagged as untargitable to players.

If you use assist on your pets, you can target them too!

(I think this might be considered an explot!)

[/ QUOTE ]

Never had trouble targetting during a rikti invasion. I have the issue they cannot be attacked until their portal sequence is complete, usually some 2-3 secs between i can target em until i can actually attack em. Oddly enough, aoe will hit em tho.

You can also use PBAoE to hit untargettable enemies.

would that explain why AVs & GMs aren't much affected by it?

Given that most PCs have 100 end as stock and I'm guessing the NPCs do too... so if you sap 35 it's a percentage. But if an AV/GM has more you're still sapping less...

[/ QUOTE ]

Well yes. 35 out of 100 is 35%.
but if they player have some +end from accolades or set bonuses. it still only drains 35.
say a player has 110 end total. you'll drain 35 of that (32%) you do not drain 35% (38.5 end)

It's not a problem with city of heroes (which fyi doesn't belong to cryptic). But rather a problem at either nvidia or vista. Neither of those companies are willing to admit who is at fault tho. Nvidia blames microsoft and microsoft blames nvidia.

For me tho, the latest drivers 182.06 are working fine tho. Not had a crash since i installed those.

If you select a power, like short circuit. Then look in the info window it says END -35% (tgt) which means it drains 35% end from the target.
Other powers have two End values. a postive tagged self and the negative tagged tgt. the self bit is how much you can recover back from your target, the other how much your target will lose.

Hope that helps


edit: i'm also pretty certain that end drain mod is a fixed amount, not percentage.
Cause it doesn't drain 35% from an AV's end bar, it just drains 35 end. I could be wrong tho, just how it looks to me.

I kinda like that last one.

Thats wicked cool

Well done!

Ghosting has it's merits, specially when on a long TF to speed it up some.

However i do dislike people who take it upon themselves to ghost it. Running off with the team behind, that i really dislike.

I recall one TF i was in, where a stalker decided to ghost the mission, ran ahead without word and started completing the objectives. Each objective causing an ambush to spawn, we were fighting around 6 groups at once causing us to wipe.

That stuff i really dislike.

cute monk

Happy Birthday!

Wouldn't it need to be higher than 45% in PvP? Mobs have a base 50% chance to hit, players have 75%.

Unless I missed something, somewhere.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, defensive powers give both defense to tohit and defense to accuracy now (elusivity??). so might not be as needed. dunno, i don't pvp any.

Hehe, thanks again.

I have to hang my head in shame, i didn't realise the leggings were missing. I knew something was missing but couldn't put my finger on it, so i just chalked it up to me being silly. But something obvious like that never hit me, until you told me

Thanks for fixing it!

[ QUOTE ]
Great way of dealing with the fools who send out blind invites though!

[/ QUOTE ]

Not really.
A simple "NO" is enough.

People sending a blind invite might have just missed the note, or might just be really new and don't understand what it means yet.

If they are persistant, it can be annoying. And i know i've been rude when that happens. But saying that right off the bad is just you being worse than they are.

ps.
It's really not ok to be rude at all. But i'd be a hypoctie if i said that. hehe. I'm a b***h.

I dunno, i don't see a really big problem with tradeable merits. Could just farm the merits on another char, buy the recepie and then trade that to the char of your liking. Being able to trade merits could also be a boon to the economy, or it could just lead to merits being worth so much more then the recepies people are forced to buy merits instead of recepies. Dunno tho. It has both positive and negative sides, and i can't honestly forsee what would happened if we could trade em.

Perhaps just limit it to trade it within account.

Not long enough

We're gonna miss you GR >< hope to see you as a player tho!
