He is right though, several posters have already answered your initial question and explained you why you're wrong in your assumptions, yet you keep insisting that:
Quote:Which is simply a lie.Originally Posted by SPiNE
Still, I'm saying that resistance-based armors have more potential to become better from IO bonuses. If we're just comparing resistance armor with defense armor without any set bonuses from IO's, then yes defense-based armors would be just as good if not better...but IO's and set bonuses change everything. -

Did EVERYONE end up on Freedom and Virtue the last time they did this?

What the heck is SH?

Quote:No. Just. No.Originally Posted by SPiNE
However, let's talk about a pure defense-based armor set, Super Reflex. It requires you to take pretty much all 9 powers, it has no self heal, no +regen, no utility powers, just a +20% recharge power. It's pretty much just soft-cap defense...that pretty much anyone can reach with IO's.

I wouldn't say "gimped"

Quote:Some resistance based toons can build for softcap to either 1 position (usually melee) or 2 types (usually smashing/lethal) only, but it usually results in a horribly gimped character lacking some key powers in favor of set mules, that also happens to cost an exhorbitant amount of inf.Originally Posted by SPiNE
Resistance-based armors can utilize bonuses from IO's to reach the defense soft-cap. This pretty much gives them 2 layers of protection. However, defense-based armors can't get a soft-cap for resistance.
And there is no such thing as a soft-cap for resistance. -
Quote:On the contrary, I think they should all have the warning, it's only fair for casual players.Originally Posted by NordBlast
No one of these TFs/missions gives you warning about NPC level, so I don't think LGTF should do it either.

massive aoe damage and massive defense?
spines / super reflexes scrapper
spines / shield scrapper
That's about it. -
Quote:Further expanding on that: give us the choice to use a Sword/Mallet where we couldn't before, including the Dark, Energy and Electric Melee powersetsOriginally Posted by Dechs Kaison
Elemental melee sword/no sword choices.
I want every one of my fire tank's attacks to use the fire scimitar.
I want every one of my ice melee tank's attacks to not use an ice sword. -
No.

Quote:Would a Kin Brute be viable? of course it would be. Would a Kin Scrapper outperform a Kin Brute in terms of damage? most likely, given that their inherent [Fury] is getting castle'd upon GR launch.Originally Posted by Ehina
I want to start a hero brute with GR, but I'd also like to try Kinetic Melee. Both at the same time would be cool, but I'd really like to be sure first if a IOed KM brute is a viable choice compared to a KM scrapper or not.

Entering dreams to get information is not a new concept. What made Inception was not it's basic concept, but how it was pulled off.

Quote:Funny you mention, KM has lower recharge requirements than Claws to achieve higher ST DPSOriginally Posted by Arcanaville
Given sufficiently high recharge and good use of Power Siphon, I think so.
-
Quote:This seems to be the consensus of the good players on the forums.Originally Posted by Bill Z Bubba
I might do a KM/SD brute. That combo should put out some rather stupid ST damage.
The rest of the newbies seem to be under the wrong impression that the set is underperforming, can't honestly see why they would think that *shrug* -
Quote:That doesn't really prove anything, "player feedback" has a very strong pull in this game, won't argue that. Too bad most of this "player feedback" comes from the vocal, whiney roleplayers on the forums who don't have a clue about game mechanics or balance.Originally Posted by Acemace
If KM isn't altered to some degree within the year following live player feedback, I'll owe you a purple of your choosing.

Quote:And a very erroneous one.Originally Posted by Acemace
That was the majority consensus. I've tried it with various combos at +45 and it's an average set, underwhelming to me, all show and no pony. I'll be avoiding it on any melee AT.
But you might like.
Kinetic Melee is miles better than DP, and the ST DPS it can reach is just slightly lower than Fire (with much lower +rech reqs, too)
It does seem a bit lacking on the AoE department, though. -
Quote:It means you'll stay at full end 15 seconds longer, and only start losing end after thatOriginally Posted by Silas
Rec buff on Consume is cool but a little odd, since for the first 15s after using Consume is arguably when you'd need it least.
Still a major fan of the FA changes

Quote:Nope.Originally Posted by CyWolf
Quick question I know this ain't the blaster section but did the blaster version of these 2 powers get the buff too?
The dom version of FE didn't get the change either. -
Fiery Aura got buffed, but Shield Defense got castle'd

I delete 50's all the time. I have a personal rule of having only 1 of each AT per server, so there have been cases where I want to roll a Controller, but I already have a Controller, so I have to strip/delete the old one before creating the new one.
It's not exactly a pleasant process, but it helps me keep sane from altitis, and gives that much more importance to the characters that do survive. -
And don't forget the +3% def IO's that go in resistance powers...

Quote:I suggest SS/Elec Brute.Originally Posted by Zophar_Shinta
I'm looking at making a new brute for GR.
Now the question is, is there a brute that can do just about anything?
Like Solo, team, farm, tank tfs and solo AV's or am I asking the impossible?
It has very good ST damage to solo AVs with Punch, Haymaker and Gloom
It has good offensive capabilities to farm, with Rage and Lightning Reflexes cross-enhancing the effectivity of Foot Stomp and Lightning Field. Add Ball Lightning or Dark Obliteration and you're gold
It's good for tanking SFs, most notably the Lord Recluse Strike Force, old school style, where defense-based Brutes are phail
On top of all that, it also has an endless endurance supply to just keep going and going...
Edit: I can also predict that SS/Elec will make an excellent STF Brute. My Tanker is also Elec Armor and has little trouble tanking all 4 patrons at once. -
Fire Sword, Ice Sword and Stone Mallet are weapons and also part of a set that is also color customizable

Respeccing doesn't cost any inf, you get to reassign all slots and all powers starting from level 1. All your slotted enhancements become "unlocked" and are pooled appart, which then you can reassign them back to your powers, or "sell" them back, and you get reimbursed the vendor cost of the enhancement (or the crafting cost, in the case of IOs)
