I think everything in the Leadership pool are the worst offenders.

Quote:I'd definitely repick Retsu if the crash was gone! I wouldn't need Shadow Meld anymore, plus the Endmod would be excellent for StJ!Originally Posted by Yoru-Hime
I'm not sure that just controlling or even removing the crash would be enough to get me taking my Tier 9s (though the latter would certainly help). These powers all need some serious rethinking. They are, on paper, some of the most powerful abilities in the game, yet they rarely appear in any builds posted on the forums. This implies that the benefit isn't worth the cost, either in reality or perception.
Why?
1) We all seem to prefer reliable defensive powers. If we can survive when the power is down, why spend a slot on it? If we can't, then the power probably isn't going to last long enough for our needs, so we have to back off anyway.
2) The crash. This ensures that we're locked into that three minute time frame. If I even suspect that my team can't get that AV down in three minutes, I'm not going to risk hitting the Tier 9. If I do and the clock runs out, my toggles drop, I go splat, and my team may go with me.
3) They don't exist in a vacuum. Once the rest of the set is taken into account, the power may not provide much advantage. It either has the same gaping hole as the rest of the set (Unstoppable) or provides more of something we already have in plenty (Elude, Retsu). For a soft-capped SR free from defense debuffs, Elude does pretty much nothing to enhance survivability. -
Oh, hell yes! I've been waiting for this topic to surface!
With the changes to the nukes coming, I think it's about time this game sees an end to crashing powers forever. People have stopped taking them and don't bother with ever slotting them. It would need rebalancing, and here's what I suggest for it:
1) Cut the base recharge time by a quarter for long-charging powers like Kuji-In Retsu.
2) Change the complete endurance crash to a minor endurance loss.
3) Decrease the duration down to a minute and change the defense bonuses to either regen or resist. -
Quote:True dat, though I do like seeing all that energy gather around my character...But yeah, the animation needs a change, I've stopped playing my KM/Nin Stalker cause the set doesn't do it for me anymore...Originally Posted by Aett_Thorn
Really the only thing keeping me from making a KM toon is the stupid CS animation. I'd love an alternative animation that is more like Energy Transfer than the current "I wave my arms back and forth" one.
-
Oh god, if they'd only reduce the arm rotation animation down to 1 instead of two...So much more fitting for an attack that buffs up another.

Quote:I would think adding a mez protection would be breaking the rule, that's why I wondered about a self-rez instead. Honestly, I'm much happier carrying Break Frees and have a self-rez available every 5 minutes than having to go all the way to the hospital or hope to survive the onslaught from using an Awaken.Originally Posted by Miladys_Knight
I think a mez protection power in the APP would be better. Then you wouldn't NEED the self revival power.
Replacing an APP power with a self-rez = violating the cottage rule. Adding a self-rez without removing a power is ok.
If it would be fine for Blasters to have mez protection without Clarion, that would be nice, but I feel like that won't happen anytime soon, so maybe a self-rez power would be the next best thing. -
I was wondering if there'd be any problems proliferating the revival power for Blasters in APPs. I just want to know if there'd be any problems replacing one power on each of the Ancillary Power Pools with a revival power similar to Rise of the Phoenix. I have learned to live with no mez protection, but when I die, I want to come back immediately and LIVE through for a second round.
What do you guys think? Would it be a problem if Blasters had a self-rez power available in each of the APPs for their choosing? -
Quote:You're much better off with a defense set and utilizing Tough for a bit of resistance. I recommend /Ice as a secondary, Icy Bastion is unbelievably amazing for the 30 seconds of capped resistance.Originally Posted by Evil_Legacy
Resistance base is what I'm going for. WP sounds like good choice, I have a claws WP and it was fun to play.
-
A few things are a bit overslotted. Switch out Smoke Bomb because it is quite terrible at what it does and switch it in for Serpent's Reach for your single target chain. I was a bit surprised I didn't find the Stalker ATO set in Assassin's Strike, as that is your most important attack as a Stalker. Shift the slots in your defensive powers, 3 or 4 slots should be enough. 4-slot stamina with Performance Shifter in case of endurance problems, and replace the proc in Superior Conditioning with an Endmod instead to increase your maximum endruance, 2 procs should be enough.
-
I do hope they manage to change the detoggling when mezzed to being suppressed instead. Toggling stuff on and off in the middle of battle is freaking frustrating when you have to keep firing.

Thank you guys so much for the tip! My build is finally ready!

Quote:Ohh, damn...Seriously? That sucks, I really enjoyed the series! It, for one, not only had an interesting story and confusing protagonist, but it was very much all about the smashing and--Originally Posted by ricohdah
Off topic... My brother worked on the Prototype games. Unfortunately Activision decided to close Radical's doors and laid off pretty much everyone last month. I hope you enjoyed those games, he worked really hard on them.
I digress here. Just for this, I'm definitely going with the Alex Mercer costume in memory of a good game that should have gone on further. -
What, no chance of crit from Fortunata proc? Crap...Eh, either way, with that sleep aura, I probably shouldn't need it if it has a chance to put bosses to sleep. Hell yes!
Definitely going Elec Melee on this one, simply because any weapon powerset really doesn't look good with it. The large carapace arm with the Electric Melee AS...Closest thing to get an Alex Mercer costume.

Should I stick with the original plan or switch it up? -
Hello, just wanted to know whether there are any Blasters out there that utilize Tough for a small bit of resistance. I have a DP/MM build and I'm stuck at a decision between toggling Tough off and taking Musculature, or toggling Tough on & taking Agility instead.
Here's the problem though: If I go with the former, I'll have more damage, and I'll be softcapped to S/L, but if I go with the latter, I'll do less damage, but I'll be softcapped to S/L/E, and with Barrier T4's 5%, softcapped for range defense.
So my question is...Small bit of Resistance or more damage? -
Oh, does anyone know whether Genetic Corruption is going to be an autohit, or will it require a ToHit Check? I'm thinking of adding the Sandman heal proc for some more survivability.
-
Yes! The MidsHeroDesigner got updated, IO enchancements work!
I know it isn't accurate numbers yet, but roughly speaking, S/L/E/N seems easy to softcap, offers very good resistance, and damage mitigation is great utilizing Ablative Carapace & DNA Siphon. Perma on both possible, and the Tier 9 Parasitic Aura is simply a longer Icy Bastion. With tough slotted, you're at 60% resistance to S/L, which is pretty damn good!
My 4th stalker is definitely getting this set. We may have found the Ice/Regen hybrid!
-
Quote:Skipping Genetic Corruption? I have a feeling it's going to be good, really, really, good.Originally Posted by Garent
Bio armor is going to be extremely popular on stalkers simply because the set has little competition in the offensive focused armor set category. The fact that genetic corruption is very skippable on a stalker isn't that big of a deal when comparing it to other stalker sets.

Quote:I hope they never port those things, because there's no way in hell I want to ever see a Scrapper with /Nin, or any other AT with /Nin. EVER.Originally Posted by ricohdah
To me, it's par for the course. No Stalker secondary match up with with their equivalent AT counterpart. I think a couple might get close, like EA but still falls short. Actually IA is better on Stalkers... Hibernate, haha! Poor Tankers.
Some players were asking for Shield, FA and Invulnerability to get ported to stalkers and my immediate thought was AAO, Shield Charge, Burn, Blazing Aura and Fiery Embrace would be omitted and Inv would get watered down. -
Now that I think about it, Bio Armor may surprise us. This shall be the first armor with a sleep aura, which means less aggro and, I really hope this becomes true, a chance to unleash more critical hits to counter the proc changes coming.
Either way, this may be a great set, and now that I think about the large Bio-armor around the arm coupled with the Assassin's Strike from Electric Melee...Okay, now I'm lovin' it.
-
Oh, wait! Isn't critical guaranteed if the target is sleeping, Held, or Disoriented?
So with a sleeping Aura, there's a chance to put everyone around you to sleep. It'll probably be like World of Confusion, but hopefully last a lot longer.
Okay...Electric Melee just looked great all of a sudden with Bio Armor. -
Anyway those binds can be modified for a Mac OS?
-
The huge armor around the arm, and...well, the leg armor...and....the carapace...I'm not really sure on a primary with it...
Maybe Spines would make sense, but...I'm not really sold on Bio Armor yet.
-
I wonder if there will ever come a time where Tier 9 powers would never see an endurance crash again.
Maybe, just maybe, if Kuji-In Retsu didn't crash like Icy Bastion and lasted much more shorter...Hmm... -
Quote:So, generally, Sky Splitter isn't needed in any attack chain...ever?Originally Posted by Granite Agent
A while back Microcosm and Reppu and maybe some others figured out that the best single-target DPS chain for Staff stalkers involved building but not releasing/using 3 stacks of Form of Body, to keep the damage bonus.
AS-SR-PS-MB ... repeat .. with MB sporting the -RES achilles.
SkySplitter, which has bad DPA/DPS and consumes Form of Body, isn't in the chain.
Generally I build 3 stacks and hold it for single targets but release it in groups using Eye of the Storm.
Skipping the power advisable then?
