Preferable with unlimited power/slot choices and insta-99% slotting.

They should make a new MM class, that can make those small granite thingies (from DE), suits my granite more then.

Else, granite/AR. Just for the fun of seeing a huge pile of rocking holding a supersoaker gun.

Well, i only gave firefox a quick go, so dont think i used any weirdy plugins.

I'm now on IE again, i think i had to relog for at least 10 times now. I randomly try different accounts, maybe it get more lucky on the other account.

(this is my EU one again).

I just wonder, is your smiley and ammount of posts-ratio still 1:1?

And BaB, GG is like the immortal goddes on the EU forums, a topic on the old forums wasnt even worth a topic without a reply from GG. By that alone, she deserve animated hair.. and we deserve to di.. oh wait, that is from Kill Bill movie.

Then again, what will happen if CoH will get animated hair? Will she stop posting here, playing CoH all day just to look at the animated hair? No more smilies, short fun posts or weird twists to topics? Her persistance is stronger then mag100 hold from Ghostwidow, but she got animated hair! She's like the hero version of ghostwidow, just lacking the animated hair.

And afaik, dispite allll new costumes and pieces, she still wears the original outfit. (yes, i had the privilidge to actualy see her twice ingame).

I dont know really where to put this topic, so i just put it here then

Just before the forums were merged, i already made a topic about this. And as i'm more active on the US servers now, i noticed more and more people.. well farmers, sharing the same thing.

Defense.

Simple question: Why is 'high' defense so easy obtainable through IO's and sets, where resist is basicly impossible to get?

The hype since AE and IO's, softcap. Even blasters, trollers and corrupters run around with nearly softcap defense while hardly affecting their efficiency of their build. They can compete in survivability with a class that rely on his defenses, tankers, or in some cases even outperform if the tanker has no sets at all. True, some may have spend a huge forture to even reaching this, but by the plain fact.. its possible.

Long long time ago, when the new hit vs defense system kicked in i was pretty concerned about defense. True, back then only Ice was native defense based and they had a rough time in the old system. So eventualy, a redname (i think it was bridger) told me that 10% resist equals 5% defence. By the 50% hit, 5% floor, 90% cap resist, it was pretty true.

So here we are, years later and the IO sets that provide additional melee, SL or Ranged defense go skyrocket in prices, if you want to be topnotch, you take this stuff.

But i still prefer resist, i rather see numbers then rolling dices and hoping they wont hit me. If i can reach cap, i will try to do so, on my tankers basicly with tough. But in some cases i lack a bitty, or i just can fit punch/tough in my way to tight build so i need other options. IO's, sets or whatever. But if i look at all the sets, what is wrong here?

Even if i go frankenslot every power i have (even picking 10-30sets) i might be able to increase my SL resist by at max 10%, and that is SL alone!

Supportwise cant be an issue, FF/ice one side, sonic/thermal on the other side. Balanswise? Well hitting cap on SL resist wont help you against fire or ice damage, unlike melee/ranged defense will basicly block everything. Yes i know! defense debuffs ingame. Yes, a trashload of mobs in the game (mostly lethal) have defense debuff abilities, making your defense basicly useless. Resist with inhereted resistance will hardly suffer. (i will not mention PVroflmaoP, that is gimped). But with AE, and farmers, they pick their own mobs, their own powers, their own easy mode. Why cant this be done on resistbase then?The only 2 set i know that can reach cap (i equal this to softcap defense) resist is fire, fire resistance, and granite (stoneskin) on SL. This include any possible way of using IO sets. But, defense has a huge advantage over resist. Debuffs, such as mezz or slow/acc/whatever, 99% has to hit in order to debuff. But seeing the huge difference in IO sets, i dont think that is enough eh?

The epic shields! Well, partly. Again they only provide resist against a few elementals (SL +1), even with tough added you still are 0% resist against everything else.

So i ask the devs, or whoever, what happened to the old 2:1 ratio of resist/defense, in combination with IO's and sets? Why can i boost out my blaster with basicly cap melee and ranged defense, but in not a million years i can even reach 30% resist all on him.

Or am i just missing something here, or just give up the original 2:1 and jump the bandwagon and go softcapdef like everyone else?

Offcourse its possible to go higher, just pop some purples

Afaik the hardcap is equal to resist cap, thus 95% for tankers and 75% for scrappers.

Having more defense always have benefits, higher lvl mobs have a accuracy bonus against you so you minimize that again. Also, you can counter defensedebuffs easier this way.

How a levelpact-feeling-guilty how-to-repay topic morphed into a dislike bacon/icecream topic, while burning in hell..

And so i was still thinking the EU forums were THAT weird.. time to reconsider.

Did they already score a homerun?

I do prefer my BS/SD scrapper, stupid enough he can hit way higher melee defence at already 22 then my tanker probably will ever reach, wooooooo for parry.

And werewolfs

Just for the record, do you even have a stone tanker?

Yes i have obtained the holy Popcorn of Infinity!

Unlimited supply of popcorn, endless fun and happyness is upon me! All the years of searching and effort finaly paid off, i will conquer the world!

Wait.. a sec..

This is just normal popcorn is it?
So.. the Popcorn of Freedom wont get me out of jail either? Bummer

Just now i noticed this topic is in the infinity server forum. And i dont even play on that server

Can i still have some popcorn?

Can we have Disney World instead? Disney paris is kinda crappy, i heard Disney World is way better.

Or perhaps the niagara waterfalls? I think they would look pretty nice in my backyard.

I'm still stuck.. what is headenley?

Stupid british humor..

I refer to the part 'lack of content'. You serious think, that a _paid_ expension suddenly moves everyone away? While the majority.. well actualy nobody even knows how exactly what this expension will be. The 100rds of people suddenly drop AE and their lvling just to cross faction? Or do some story archs and wack some stuff at the opposite side?

Content was always an argue, its not lack off.. but usability of.
