Dont forget it stacks up to 4 times, so max of 10% -res.
Def debuff is something I rarely chase after, my acc and tohit is usually high enough that I dont miss.
Generally the rule of thumb is if you want to do more damage, reactive is the way to go. -
Quote:So instead of helping the devs identify and target specific people who behave inappropriately, it is better to segregate the playerbase according to some idiotic metric?It's just nice to reduce the frequency of occurrence to a near zero percent. Just because perfect zero is only possible in a perfect world, doesn't mean it isn't a good idea to try and get close.
If there were to be a seperate server for females, purples, under 12's etc. Does that mean the devs should take away the ability to report and petition aberrant behavior? It is not like they don't have a safe place to play. If there is a female harrassed on a co-op server, is it that persons fault for being on the wrong server?
What a ridiculous proposition. -

This combination is the first thing I thought of when I saw the proliferation list.

Wear a snow suit. Wait, you will still be checked out. Better to be just comfortable with being checked out.
The deviant that will harrass someone will harrass them regardless of how many layers they have on. That is not your fault, that is the deviant's fault. -
I used to like wearing a biker jacket, tons of skulls, **** kicking boots and some sort of satanic related tshirt. Ask me if I was ever surprised at people because they thought I was intimidating.
I couldnt get a cab dowtown dressed like that because the cabbie figured I would be trouble. It doesnt matter if I am most likely the safest customer they could get, that was the reaction I would inspire.
Am I to blame because people would make a snap judgement about who I was because how I was dressed? I dont believe so, and people that made that judgement I probably wouldn't want to chill with(It made a good filter frankly) But I was well aware that that was the likely reaction I would get. -
Quote:It does everything.Sinister, why do you say traps? What combo's well, or nifty tricks can it do?
Mayhaps I should share my experience with the pairing.
It is hands down the most versitile combination I have played. Coming from a mostly melee perspective, the idea of mez protection appealed to me greatly.
If played from a set traps, pull mob, watch it go boom perspective, it is slow, tedious, and not very valuble to teams. If you play it proactively, and set your traps up at the feet of the mobs, then unleash hell while cackling, it is very satisfying. The thing I like best is all the techniques that allow me to solo effectively, also help the team. Besides dropping a triage beacon in a safe spot for the squishies, there really is no different approach needed.
The combination is excellent if hunting av's and gm's solo interests you.
The combination allows for both a very strong aoe and single target attack chain
Ambushes frustrate you? Not anymore! Lay down a kill zone while they are aproaching and watch the spawn melt.
It is extremely easy to softcap, has mez protection, and with a couple triage beacons out, has ridiculous amounts of regen for layered mitigation.
It is the most fun I have had on a toon in about 3 years. -

Totally depends on the toon I am on at the time. There isnt much in the game that is a challenge if you bring the right tools. Considering how many alts I have, there is very little content that I dont have a specific toon that can crack it.
As such, I guess the biggest challenges are personal things like Werners 6 hour solo fight with Nemesis where he took a sub optimal toon and still took Nemesis down. (Sub optimal meaning would have been way faster with a rad) I would be challenged to find the patience for that. -

Besides, it's a dumb comment that doesn't need responding to. Guys will check out anything, even she is wearing something akin to a michelin man parka. -

It says exactly how much of it is supressed in mids.

Quote:You folks are not generating enough awesome.My static team standard attitude: If anybody on the team dies, then things were done wrong.
Fallout and Vengeance are powers I've never seen taken by anybody I play with for the past 7 years. And none of us have ever thought about taking them...in fact I believe our shared response to such powers was "a power that requires a teammate to die to use without actually resurrecting the teammate? why?"
resurrect and mutations are fine, they correct the mistake.... -
Quote:Anyone naming themselves xXakiraXx clearly has no imagination. Even if you want a toon inspired by the movie, taking the name is asking to be generic'd. Lack Of Imagination.you do know that some character concepts with name can never be made in CoX because of this naming system, this is not "lack of imagination" this is "keeping with the program".
you're not called henk just because there is already a jan at work, you're called jan regardless of that fact.
Would you like to be one of 45 jan's at work, just because you were hired at a place than has alot of jan's? at least this way, you can choose the nickname you get, at work, your co-workers often choose it for you.
Personally, I like to be the only Super Awesome Guy on the server. sure some ininspired dude couls put x's around it, but I am the original. -

Quote:Pretty sure he is saying you can blanket a player selected area a couple times, and hone in on 3 single seperate hard targets.Why do you say 3 when only one counts?
otomh I think my Sonic/Sonic corrupter can maintain -90% res. If she was a Defender then that would be roughly 120% -res. I do think Sonic is in need of a fix, something I am not even inclined to say the same about Trick Archery.
Of course while he is still doing all that debuffing with TA, my traps toon has already killed the spawn, including the hard targets. ymmv. -
Recall friend, fallout, vengence, and mutation is a perfectly acceptable backup attack chain.

Quote:Understandable. Not really for me either, I have a couple of them, and they are funish, and can zerg just about anything, but I like to fireball the mobs in the face.Took a break from him, I suck at playing MMs lol. They get frustrating pretty quick if you don't pick up on the playstyle.
That said, you really should give traps a go, it is an extremely effective set. Fire/traps corrs are about as much fun as I have ever had in the game. -
The defender will always have better buff/debuff numbers. Dark is irrelevant as it is already shared and I assume you are happy with it.
Any team that actually notices that your buffs and debuffs are a few percentage points behind a defenders and chides you for it is too uber for me.
