Quote:I have soft cap def on my dark/SR scrapper, but taking a little heal with every attack would make me as survivable as the other sets. I can't get my HP that high and the best HP per sec I can get is 22 (nearly all other sets can get to 50-80) . every little bit would help.Originally Posted by DreadShinobi
You don't need that many greens. Purples and Oranges will also help, or just build your toon for softcap like everyone else does.
Now to the actual idea of IO heal procs, it is already ingame with Entropic Chaos, and it's awful. It could have double the proc chance and it would still be awful. Now if they made a new targetted aoe set (as mentioned by EnigmaBlack, we could really use another one of these sets) and the proc was a chance to heal (10-20%) then it could potentially be good since it would have a chance to proc on every target hit. This is why IOs like ToE +end and FF +rchg IO procs are so good because in powers like dark regeneration and pbaoes with knockdowns they have a chance to proc on every target. With 10 targets it's effectively a guaranteed chance to proc.
This would also apply well to blasters and the like, they do many high damage attacks quickly. Would make them more survivable. -
To be clear. I was clarifying what could and couldn't be used. Mostly because I figured and wanted to avoid this result

Is that clear enough? -
Quote:I don't have a inspiration slot for every attack in between the drops ... and greens don't drop every time ... So that comment is not accurate.Originally Posted by Phewmite
Stock up on Green Inspirations, they work 100% of the time. Alternatively take the medicine pool, though those powers are interruptable.

Quote:Though I'm inclined to agree, don't mean I can't hope. Just think how much it would help blaster, controller, dominators, and SRers. almost all other groups wouldn't even need it.Originally Posted by Mr_Morbid
An IO self heal that procs on every use is highly unlikely to make it into the game.

Quote:Not hardly even reliable ... with my luck, it would go off once a day and that would be right before I took any damage at all. I'd rather something smaller effect that's 100% chance.Originally Posted by Phewmite
Already in-game:
Entropic Chaos, Self Heal Proc-10% chance to heal 5% of your unenhanced max. hitpoints.
I guess I'm saying ... it's not in the game. Something vaguely similar is. -
illusion melee
each attack gains MoP Marks of Pain. illutionary DoT damage for 5 secs.
Once you have 4 marks on a target, they can be Suppressed[inherent].
inherent Suppress: recharge 60 sec unchangable. After 4 marks of pain, this power makes all current illutionary damage a reality. (Doesn't heal back) and confuses all targets with 4 marks.
1) Name: [ST] Minor damage adds MoP
2) Name: [ST] Minor damage minor illution damage adds MoP
3) Name: [cone] minor damage adds MoP
4) Name: (damage buff)Makes MoP last for the duration of this buff (30sec)
5) Name: [ST] moderate damage moderate illution damage, adds MoP
6) Psych: [ST] -tohit -damage adds MoP
7) Name: taunt
8) Stress test: [PBAoE] moderate damage adds MoP
9) Name: [ST] high damage extreme illution damage adds MoP -
Quote:I would actually be ok with the res the way it is if the scaling was a little different.Originally Posted by Bill Z Bubba
"Rolling with punches" being a description for adding dam-res to the set was something I was asking for before ED/GDN. When the scaling dam-res was added to the passives after those two events, I was surprised at how correct it felt.
I got hit more, I took more damage, but they got weaker. Instead of being able to dodge out right because of the pain I was enduring, I was rolling with the hits more.
While allowing the passives to be slotted for dam-res would make SR an even MORE slot heavy set, I find that the tradeoff would be worth it.
instead of res scaling from 0-70 (I'm guessing) how about scaling from 20-70. I believe it would make the health loss and the res scaling a little more smooth.
combine the ranges into one power, and move up the toggle AoE. Then add a +HP power. That should vastly improve the survivability of the set.
More HP, a more steady scaling. -
Quote:I wasn't saying the buff/debuff aura for the "sustained survivability" but for the more effective Taunt aura. The original comment was an example of being a useless SR/TANK because I couldn't keep taunt.Originally Posted by Leo_G
I have to agree, I don't know why everyone has such a boner for per-foe buff auras. It only gives the impression it actually has an affect on sustained survivability (which it doesn't, unless you're killing minions very slowly) and encourages herding behavior. Worse yet, the moment knockback rears its head, *EVERYONE* complains about their buff auras.
I always viewed the buff auras as a *bonus*, not a necessity.
I'm all for thinking up a new mechanic/power for the set, though. As for alterations to Elude, don't forget the runspeed buff. That's one of the things I use it for. I'd also think about improving its resistance to runspeed and jump debuffs while using Elude. -
I'm in 50+3 dark/SR scrapper.
ninja run+sprint ok?
Edit: NM ... I have to work this Sat/Sun till 6:30pm mountain time. I'll log in and see what's happening though.

I think this is a good idea for an IO set. It could fit multiple character concepts. But, I'll admit this is coming from a guy who use to play a Shadow Knight in EQ. -
Quote:ok ... a VERY tanky staff/regen brute. I tried to make a StJ/regen brute and that was a mess.Originally Posted by UberGuy
Uh, no one can help you make a Regen/anything tank. I'm not trying to be obnoxious here. Do you mean a Brute? (Listing it as Regen/*, implying Regen as a primary, is actually not possible.)
I knew they ported it over, just forgot where, over.
-
What if they made a damage IO set that had a proc that was a self heal ... a % of the damage done is healed to self. They could call it the soul stealer set.

Quote:If it isn't, then could you help me make a good regen/staff tank. All the attempts I've made for regen, have come out as me dying all the time. My computer and I are bad at clicky abilities. So, the fewer of those that are needed in battle the better. That includes incarnate ones.Originally Posted by UberGuy
Nope.

Regen is a passive mitigation ... just like Def or Res. self heal is an active one, like a KB or hold. Regen has 4 active powers and ONLY 3 passive ones. They need to fix this. In a fight, I spend more time trying to stay alive than I do killing.
YAY ... I just healed back 50% of my HP ... too bad I spent the time of 2 attacks to do it.
Crap, all my heals are on cool down, I'll revive when my team finishes the mob I died to.
Regen is a horrific set as is and needs fixed.
in short: a required change is to change at least one active to a passive.
have a 100% buff to the regen ability, or add 3X the current resistance. -
I would like to meet a friend that lives in NM so I have someone to talk to about CoH. The number of gamers, There has to be atleast one. Right ?!?

. . . I knew him as Slice of Ren . . And he will be missed . . I'll be there on the 30th. But my dearest thoughts to his Family & Friends in these times.

I watched him die with a smile on his face. I even closed his eyes. ... I still have to run red side though.

So, if you are in hide, and add a stealth proc ... the knives and the Rikti drones can still see you as you ninja run by?

How did they get those claws in anyway?
CoH actually has ALL the elements to make a wolverine replica, costume pieces and all ... but very soon after you made it, it would be changed.
They have cyclops visor too. -
Quote:boomerang comes back (not entirely a melee weapon)... net holds him in place for a secure final kill. what if the javelin was thrown at the beginning of the fight and he missed ... he then would have no weapon of offense. What if it the boomerange was knocked down ... boomerang weilder would be with out a weapon. It had everything to do with 2v1 and luckily not loosing their weapons at any time in the fight. a lot of luck and a little stratagy.Originally Posted by Tenzhi
And then that guy got killed by a javelin (or pilum) after being tripped up by a bola and entangled in a cast net whilst trying to melee someone with a boomerang.

If it were possible I'd like to use Free or Premium players for piggyback rides to and from missions.
Here's how it would work. You get a new power that summons a random Free or Premium player who is online and not inside a mission/trial and teleports them to your location.
You then climb up onto their backs and take control of their ability to move and from there you ride them to wherever you want to go. Once you get to your destination the Free/Premium player is teleported to Atlas Park near Miss Liberty. -

Based a few of your recent posts, you seem to be in search of another game other than the one we are all playing. Good luck with that endeavor.
I kinda share this take on the set.
I find the concept interesting, but can't see application. I thought it was a defensive set till you said it wasn't .
Specify some things for us with set ideas.
Arch Type
Whether it's attack or defensive.
A good hint would be to look at other sets that have been recommended to get an idea of lay out. and information that would be needed. And look at the existing sets. They need to follow those molds a little too. -
Quote:What is the % chance to crit with CS? then +25%Originally Posted by Siolfir
Yes.
Yes.
No. The building crit chance is on Assassin's Strike only, not Concentrated Strike (which is the tier 9).
Placate + Concentrated Strike or having the Stalker ATO proc go off + Concentrated Strike will recharge Build Up, meaning that KM can maintain Build Up for a very high uptime and easily stack it (BU->CS from Hide->BU), and it's incredible with a Gaussian's for potential triple-stacking. I didn't pick it up on beta but some reports in the Stalker feedback thread said that the ATO proc was going off in Assassin's Strike often enough to generate a perma-BU attack chain - that's probably a bug. -

Welcome to issue 6. Its been like this since the begining and nothing will ever change till we get a dev with balls who actually plays stalkers and not pretends to play them. Just be glad they let you join the tf. Normally on servers the typical response is "lol stalkers" when you try to join anything. Its only gotten worse since freedom since its easier to start villains on heroside now.
