Going to have to disagree- I'm pretty sure her existence is reliant upon public Dev brown-nosing. Unless you were being ironical with that comment, though. >.<

Didn't realize you took down GM's without lore- Was this on your SS/FA/Soul?

Oops yeah. I was referencing the wrong 'tomorrow' in my last post. Holidays throw my internal clock off.

Thanks for posting that. I assumed most people coming along for the badges would be familiar with the trial/mechanics but it definitely can't hurt to have more information available.

Even with toggle suppression, Peacebringer forms would still be worthless on end game builds. Human form does more AoE damage than Nova and is more survivable than Dwarf when built well. The forms still have a purpose for leveling up and for those who choose not to use IO's though, and I think that's perfectly fine. There's really no conceivable way to make forms worth taking on a fleshed out end game build for PB's, but that doesn't mean they're worthless throughout the rest of the game, which is really the majority of it.

Ah, I guess they're trying to 1984 us by not recording the change in the patch notes. "Ambushes reward reduced XP. Ambushes have always rewarded reduced xp." Better practice my doublethink.

Does this mean the ambush nerfs aren't happening anymore?

It makes my game time more enjoyable when the entire game doesn't turn into the cesspool that is Atlas Park or Pocket D on Virtue. What, so now all the people who used to actually play the game can have more free time to sit around and give longwinded RP monologues?

It affects my game time because it kills the integrity of the game when things that are earned can be purchased. It invalidates the entire concept of progressing by playing the game in the first place. What is the point of working on a character when at this rate, we'll be able to buy level 50's, buy incarnate stuff, buy purple and pvp IO's, buy the I Win button?

I like to think I have a good enough idea of what I'm doing that a quick glance-over wouldn't be the best means of acquiring worthwhile feedback. DSorrow was more than helpful already- Thanks for your concern though.

Way to perpetuate the idea that things other players have earned should be purchasable. Following this idea, what is the point in playing the game at all? I've said this before, and I'll say it again: I have no gripes whatsoever with the game having things like new costumes, powersets (granted, they should remain balanced) or things like the rocket board and whatnot for sale for cash, but when it comes to things that actually alter character performance it is crossing the line.

If you're going to sell the most sought after enhancements for cash, why not sell incarnate powers or salvage too? Why not sell influence? Why not just sell 30 day access to the "I Win" button? Wanna buy every badge in the game? Sure, just send 40 bucks over! No one will ever have to actually play the game again!

First thanks for your input, and second I'll have to disagree with this part. I think resistance is going to be something I'll get more mileage out of, especially with perma PA on top of some defense, my thinking is that I really will not get hit often, but when I do I will take reduced damage.

I believe I have it slotted more conservatively on my Cold defender, but I was scrambling for places to pick up extra recharge- Heat Loss and PA are already relying on spiritual core paragon to stay perma. Heat Loss only misses perma by .19s pulling the slow set though, so I can do without it.
Agree to disagree on the defense vs. resistance focus- I had indomitable will in an earlier draft, but ended up absently shifting things around and couldn't find the room for it; I'll actually probably go with fire mastery instead.
Hm, that's interesting. I don't feel I overslotted for accuracy by any stretch though, the value only being at 33% I suppose it wouldn't hurt to switch the Nucleo for a damage IO... I'm showing a ~16.7 recharge with a 30 second duration on my build.
That's a good call.

Again, good call. I reappropriated the slots from Infrigidate for this.
Yea, like you already pointed out it's a failsafe for if and when I do get hit- Even if it won't be for much in most cases, I still feel I'll get use out of aid self.


My defender slotted up the cold shields but as being a buff bot will not be a primary function I didn't feel the need to devote slots to them on an Illusion build.

That sounds... Tedious. I'll look into it tomorrow. For now though, obligatory Microsignal...



I'm waiting for this to catch on.

Glad I could help. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Haha, story of my life. I'll bring my Warshade to your ITF on Tuesday, I don't have any other plans and killing every single deviant roman and nictus in sight sounds like a good way to spend an evening... As long as you won't begrudge me scrapperlock.

I figured you worked for NASA or something.

Are you saying I should be using my base damage to calculate the damage increase per Mire target or the whole calculation? I thought he was asking for max dps w/ optimized slotting so the number should be accurate, even though it doesn't look like it is.
