Quote:Fire didn't have mez protection except Immob resistance from burn. All other mez protection was gained from pool powers. This was back when acrobatics was uber.Originally Posted by UberGuy
Fiery Aura was pretty much just like it is now, not counting fairly major changes to Burn and Fiery Embrace.
To be fair, Roderick did say it was in alpha or perhaps beta. I was about to post the exact same thing you did this morning before I read his post again to be sure. -
Quote:Thanks. I try to stay out of granite as much as possible. If I can get any sort of mez prot from a buffer, no need to run in rooted either.Originally Posted by Sailboat
That's brilliant. Stone Tankers don't appear to need any -knb, since they have TWO status protection powers (Granite and Rooted), but both of those slow you, and sooner or later most Stone Tankers turn them off to run to a new position -- a knockback protection IO would be very nice when doing that.

Its a heavy end use power. Back when I used it for a travel power, I used to slot it first for end, then when could dedicate more slots to it, switch them to range.
These days, I just keep a kb prot in its single slot for my stone tanker. I only use it IF I have rooted or granite on and need to position myself.
Is 20 hit points worth it to you? Depending on your toon, if you have room to give it 3 slots, I would slot BOTZ for the defense instead. -
I would tp foe a sapper for example, give him a guy smiley, then wade into the rest of the mob. I also found it good for corner pulling without having to expose myself to the mobs at all. Even if it misses, the mob will come.
That said, I respeced out of it about 4 years ago, and haven't really missed it. -
Second, Third and Fourth Bots/Storm. Embrace the chaos.

Any scrapper will have what you are looking for. Although, regen is a clicky secondary, so might want to avoid that.
Claws/Spines and Elec if you like aoe's. Swords/DM for extra surviveabilty. DB or Kin to look pretty. Pick a def or resist based flavor for secondary, and go hunt kill skulls.
A decent scrapper that mixes surviveability, aoes, and single target attacks with that power to look forward to in the future yet decent out of the box, you can't go wrong with a dm/sd scrapper. -
I am a melee guy as well, always have been. That said, I have a fire/traps corr that is just about as much fun as I have had in this game since I IOed out my spines/fire scrapper. Extremely safe and durable. Also since traps is more debuff than buffs, my playstyle does not have to change drastically from solo to a team.
Honorable mention goes to Bots/storm MM's. Ridiculously powerfull toons. Embrace the chaos. -
Your Corr could possibly do it.
Good builds for are anything that debuffs regen, or puts out more damage than the av can recover while being able to survive/divert incoming damage.
Classic combinations are I'll/rad trollers, fire or sonic/rad corrs, rad/sonic defenders, bots/traps mm's. Fire/sd scrappers/brutes, dm/sd scrappers/brutes, etc. Really though, if built right, these days just about anything can solo av's. GM's will be a little tougher but I do know that bots/traps can take on just about anything.
Best of luck to you. I always respect the folks that do this because I just don't have the patience for it. -
Quote:If you are hoping to leverage the procs in your caltrops patch, I highly recommend Mu mastery. Elec Fences will keep your bots from knocking the mobs out of your patch. Its also great for keeping the mobs overlapped for the *** bots incindiary missles.Originally Posted by BL00DBATH
The toon in question here is an IO'd and Proc'd out Bots/Traps/Mace. Resistance is futile.
Off topic: You are on guardian right? -
Quote:They should already be separate. When gauntlet was first introduced, there was a nifty bug that would allow single target attacks to hit all the taunted mobs. Was very nice with seismic smash... Fixed that long, long ago though.Originally Posted by Nalrok_AthZim
Well, I personally think it's awesome, bug or not. Since the attack itself has an AoE taunt component, it works. I think trying to fix that might involve making the ST damage and the taunt component completely separate. That might make things complicated as far as coding/gameplay goes.

Could you post the data chunk?. DataLink doesn't work.
Also, There is another thread with almost the exact same title and everything just below this one... I would have posted in that one... -
Recall friend, fallout.

Used your build as a jump off point. Now able to cap s/l/e/ne with a single purp insp. I know you are not too worried about it with s/l resistance you have, but if you can do it, why not? Changed the order of your powers so you can use most of them even exemping down to 27.
Also, got rid of all your past cap conflicts including the extra lotg +rech.
Hope it helps. Also hope you have alot of patience. Getting all these IOes at the lowest level would make jesus curse.

I have deleted many an alt over the years. Including 50's.
If it sits uplayed in the barn for a long time, everytime I log in, it is a reminder that that toon just doesnt have enough.... whatever to keep me amused. So goodbye charlie.
Considering it takes no time to get to lvl 30 these days, even if I did regret it(I dont) It would take no time at all to re-roll it. -
You two are awesome. When is the wedding?

Quote:Even if the second application does hit a completely different set of 5 mobs, it is still only hitting 5 mobs. I am pretty sure the dot does not do a hit check for each tick, but I have been wrong before. Either way, since it is now frontloaded, even if half the dot hits a new target, that isnt much damage. Less than 3 ticks from blazing aura. With the amount of orange numbers floating up, it doesn't really matter to me. I take it, and love it for melting bosses.Originally Posted by Arbegla
PLus, its limit of 5 is per burn, so if you double stack burn.. you can hit 10.. And, as mobs die, burn will just hit another target, so surrounding yourself you could actually hit more then 5 mobs with it, you just can't hit more then 5 at a time...thats what i love about burn, burn patches, and rain powers. you can extended their target cap, but only because each DoT rolls on a target, and sometimes it can roll on different targets.
Rain of Arrows has the same things going for it, with its 3 different damage rolls.
And of course surounding yourself is nice, you are an aoe. -
Quote:It doesn't matter how close they are, you are only going to hit 5. Still awesomesauce though.Originally Posted by eryq2
I pop BU, run in hit FS, let the mobs gather then hit burn. Burns radious is smaller so the closer they are, the more you hit.

Quote:No idea. I wouldn't chase resistance through set bonus's though. Not worth it.Originally Posted by roborg
ok i was wondering what would be the best at, primary, secondary, and build for an iron man type toon? i am having truble with this as iron man type guys have melee, ranged, and armor. i was thinking about a rad/em blaster with io sets geared for res. what do you think about this?

Quote:It is fair to say you don't like the direction the game is going. I have been there a few times myself.Originally Posted by Dragonkat
it's not just my bag of tricks that's impacted by Apex and I20 it's everyones, and I'm not sure i like the way coh is going with how new content is designed.
It is not fair to assume you speak for everyone. It is quite possible to do the content on pugs. I have not been on a pug that failed it. That doesn't mean that I believe that every single apex run has completed it. I am not blind to that. You can't assume that every single pug has failed it.
If its not your cup of tea, thats okay. That doesn't mean it is broken. -

In light of your rant, your sig is quite humorous. Is it supposed to be tongue in cheek? -

Can you drag and drop slots? Specific IOs? I get a little gray box when I try to do that which LOOKS like it'll work, but so far nothing's dragged and dropped for me.
