My Fire/Kin Corruptor
That's on the live servers.

Would not be as overpowered as Corruptors, Controller nor Defenders. I don't know exactly where you draw the line saying "this is how you become overpowered".

There's a point on a character, even one with 2 buff/debuff sets, where you want to stop using your animation time for Buffs/Debuffs and start shooting stuff. I think that point is reached a lot more quickly than the general consensus of people do. On an all Corr/Con/Def team players can adjust how much if their animation time is used for each. A Buff/Buff toon doesn't have that option. There's no ability to adjust their time between buffing and blasting to suit the situation.

Someone mentioned "buff/buff could probably farm well" or something similar. Did I misunderstand or misread that? How exactly would a buff/buff character kill anything?

The numbers I recorded generally represented the ability to level a teammate quickly. I generally let anything go and let players load whatever mission they wanted against any foe they wanted. I did not focus on items nor try to calculate how one could play to make the most money. My #s were not entirely accurate on the subject of leveling teammates because Boss, Minions and Lts give different Inf values. However, it was clear that those 3 common farmers were very close and clear that the Cor + Brute pair was some margin more effective.

Yeah

Fortunately, even if the accurate information cannot be found the general notion of how "Inf reward" and "Experience reward" increase as you rise in level may be sufficient information for other topics.

My old testing used Herostats to compare #s. Fire/Kin Controllers, various SS/X Brutes and Fire/Psy Dominators were all roughly close. A Fire/Kin Corruptor + an SS/Brute working together were significantly more efficient than two of any of the first set going in two different directions.

To give the general idea (these #s are not accurate):
100,000 Inf per minute = Fire/Kins, SS/X Brutes or Fire/Psys fighting their ideal enemy under ideal conditions, repeatable and sustainable.
200,000 Inf per minute = Two of any of those working separately and in different directions would combine to gain 200,00 Inf per minute (really, you'd have to adjust for teamsize etc. but I did all that in my testing).
300,000 Inf per minute = Brute + Kin working together... adjusted for teamsize etc.

I did not test any other duo combinations or other toons working together. I would be willing to help people use herostats to gather new and accurate data in a standardized format to compare various strategies.

I did some calculations based on some possibly incorrect numbers. How about some fact checking...

I'm looking to find the information for how Inf from defeating enemies is rewarded. I have found the information for how enemy defeat rewards are handled for Experience. Here's the Paragon Wiki experience calculation information.

I followed that link to the original source and downloaded the PDF. Here's what the PDF says about Inf.

"REGARDING INFLUENCE: for enemies YOUR level, you get 70% of the XP value for minions, 120% for lieutenants, and 200% for bosses. -thanks to airionis/TopDoc for confirming this calculation."

Is this information accurate? How does that scale with enemies of different levels?

I've been in the process of writing up a fancy Melee/Buff Archetype suggestion etc Look for it soon

I use a lot of keybinds/keymapping that differ from the defaults. Many of my characters experience a very small amount of their keybinds reverting to the default. The characters that experience this often experience different keybinds that revert. Here are some examples.

1) I bind my mouse-button 4 to execute the power in my Alternate-Tray #2 powerslot #10. I often place Ninja run in the upper right of my tray (alt#2 power #10) and use my thumb mouse button (mouse #4) to turn Ninja Run on and off. After a regular period of playing the key (mouse #4) reverts to the default (nothing).

I have my binds file saved on my computer. I reload my binds file when this occurs. After a period of time the key reverts again. I reload the file, the key works. After a time... reverts.

On some of my characters, the mouse-4 button maintains it's role as Ninja Run turner-on button and it is bound in the same manner.

2) I use the control key to execute powers on Alt Tray #1 and Alt to execute powers on Alt Tray #2. This Alt and Control is reverse from the default. On one of my characters the control keys revert.

For example I may have the power "Recall Friend" in Alt Tray #1 power #4. Pressing Control-4 Recalls a friend. The power in Alt-Tray #2 power #4 is Train Thugs. Alt-4 trains thugs. After a period of time I press Control-4 and it says "Invalid Target". I see on my tray Train Thugs is trying to execute. I press alt-4, Train thugs tries to execute.



I have not made an accurate list of which powers change on which of my toons. I am not sure about the regularity of these changes. I do know that I have a binds file saved of all my binds. I do know that when I load my binds they all work. I do know that after a period of time sometimes they don't work.

As you might imagine, this makes me feel like I am going insane. Until the past few minutes this only occurred to minor buttons like my Ninja Run bind. Now, as I start trying to play more of my toons, I am experiencing it on more important binds.

Is anyone else experiencing such things? Is this a known issue? Should I try to isolate which keys this occurs on and on which toons and what regularity?

*EDIT* Writing the ones down as I find them...

I used to have the "E" kind bound to ( powexecname "Sprint" ) on Captain Compliment on my main account Virtue. My keybind file has the "E" key bound to Main Tray, Powerslot #10. I often place Sprint there. I have Sprint in the 9th Slot and "Prestige Power Quick" in the 10th slot. I want "E" to execute the power in the 10th slot (Quick) and not Sprint. After a period of time, "E" reverts to Sprint. I have reloaded my keybind file countless times on this character and it continues to revert after a period of time. Annoying, but not earth shattering. My reason for wanting this is one of the Sprints has a Stealth IO and one does not. I want my character to be fully visible as often as possible and want to turn on the appropriate Sprint type power at the right time.

The Control/Alt example listed 2nd occurs on Nemesis Clone on an alternate account. That account used to have Control/Alt bound to the default. I have been trying to change it to the reverse that I normally use.

There are slash commands to combine or delete inspirations. You can make these into macros/binds.
Inspirations are combined from left to right then bottom to top. No matter how old the inspirations are nor which inspiration you click on, always left->right, bottom->top.

1) 1-50 Freedom, death = delete, all pug, no advice/leading teams, non-melee toon
2) Duo Master RSF
3) Fire/X Corruptor Purpled of every secondary.
4) Get the Day Job accolade with [Revive Ally] on my Brute. I've been trying for 6 months or so and I still don't have it. I suck at Day Jobs.
5) Find some crazy AE Arcs I like for my crazy own purposes
6) Restart a Death = Delete SG.

When you post an item for sale 5% of the price is immediately taken from you in fees. This fee is often called the "List" fee.

5% of 47,000,000 is 2,350,000. That 2.3M is roughly how much Inf your character is holding.

*EDIT* To be more specific, the list fee is taken into account when the market takes the 10% Sale fee. So if you list an item for 45,000,000M you'd pay 2.25M in fees. If that item sells for 100,000,000 (100M) there is 10% or 10M in total market fees. You've already paid 2.25M, so the game takes away another 7.75M.

I suspect the enemies at the door was a teammate running and shooting stuff (encouraged) and then retreating to die away from them (discouraged). Teammate's of mine should know that if you are going down you better be on an enemy's feet. I suspect the AV teleporting comment was lag or possibly me Team Teleporting and the usual confusion that results. I did not notice the AV Teleporting and like you said it isn't possible.

Hopefully, a way will be found where you can somehow cram more crazy encounters into the mission.

Get out there and Sell! Sell! Sell!

I hit control-f on this thread and didn't see the words "budget", "cheap", "expensive", "cost" nor "afford". Here's my exists in Mid's only unlimited budget SS/EA build and some notes on it. I have a very large amount of experience tweaking my SS/ELA Brute and this build uses many of the same concepts. I think the SS/ELA is pretty effective (understatement).

In terms of survivability my build isn't as high defense as some: merely 44.9% defense S/L and 47% F/C. That should be plenty. Overload is up 180 seconds and down 94. I slotted Overload for Hit Points. When Overload up and with the Villain accolades you have over 3,000 Hit Points. That's nice. The hit points work well with regeneration. Energy Drain is up every 17 seconds and is slotted for Heal and not endurance. Just to finish off your defenses, which are already pretty nice... slap up these macros...

/macro O1 inspcombine insight sturdy$$inspcombine enrage sturdy$$inspcombine catch_a_breath sturdy$$inspcombine respite sturdy$$inspcombine break_free sturdy$$inspcombine awaken sturdy
/macro 02 inspcombine keen_insight rugged$$inspcombine focused_rage rugged$$inspcombine take_a_breather rugged$$inspcombine dramatic_improvement rugged$$inspcombine emerge rugged$$inspcombine bounce_back rugged

You can change up that macro to only transform the inspirations you want. These macros will let you pile on the oranges. Big ball of hit points + high defense + 17 second small heal + stacks of orange inspirations = Good survivability.

Attacks are well slotted. Haymaker will be your most often used attack so it gets the Hecatomb proc. Footstomp with the FF: Proc is golden and two patron AoEs finish your smashy goodness. Hasten recharges inside the Rage crash which means Hasten is "nigh permanent". Rage recharges in 70 seconds if you feel inclined to use it that often. I usually do not.

Energy Drain up every 17 seconds means endurance issues do not exist post level 28 and when Malefactoring to 23. If you frequently malefactor lower you may wish to change some things. Energy Drain takes 25% per enemy. You should be around more than 4 enemies virtually all the time. I saw no reason to increase Energy Drain's endurance. If you plan on soloing AVs frequently you may want to alter that.

I threw in Taunt and Energy Protection mostly just because I could. I like the double slotted Hurdle for non-travel power movement. It's nice non-suppressive speed. If you wish to go less damage and more survivability you can drop the Epics and go Darkest Night. That would be extremely effective for survivability and you'd still be able to get Dark Obliteration as an AoE and Gloom as a single target blast.
