    Well yeah. I'd like to beable to grab Phase Shift without the ability to turn others invisible, can we fix that too (and I mean without a temp power)...sometimes tier power pool powers just don't make sense to me :/ Phase...not turn invisible! Like Shadowcat! Who doesn't turn invisibile! Grrr...
    Fixing is for broken stuff (and sometimes cats and dogs too.) Did you even read what I posted? It gives less room for improvement because covering the KB hole uses a power pick, power slot(s), and possibly draining more endurance that could otherwise be put to pushing the Scrapper further.

    This is what we do. We are probably one of the most enthusiast Archetype forums on the CoH boards. Sure, not every Scrapper in the game is interested in pushing their characters to the limit and then over it, but for the most part that is how this Scrapper forum is. You should know this. You really should.

    I have said again and again, it is not about ease, it is not about the low end performance. It is about the high end performance of FA. At the very heights of Fiery Aura, the set has less room to improve because of the KB hole. If you get knocked back, you're not doing damage. Simple.
  2. 9 AM. Maybe later. Get some rest.

    If I had teleportation like that, I would pick Teleport on every character.

    The type is Heavy and only set to 10%. Besides, it gives a slightly dream-like appearance that I enjoy.

    Also: Drink more Enriche, citizen.
  6. Anybody got those videos mirrored? Oh well, I guess I'll at least see the launch video tomorrow.
  7. My genie-type Hero would love to be able to FLY using the yoga-sitting emote while on a magic carpet. *nods*

    I really hate how many areas in the old world have the fog drawn in so close, even at 200%. The view you get in Praetoria and the Shadow Shard is incredible.
  9. It was on the first page, though not in a standard build post. Sorries. This is the link I provided: http://tinyurl.com/24yzxfz

    And thank you for doing the maths for me. I don't like numbers sometimes.

    Oh! I have no Hasten and global Recharge is at 47.5%.
  10. It is organized the same way the buttons on the Razer Naga are laid out, with 11 and 12 being the page turn buttons. I like it. Will be redoing my button setup to take advantage of this.

    I've been waiting to see those videos. Wonder why the user removed them.
  12. Folks. I don't think some of you are understanding why the rest of us do not like the KB hole. It is not a matter of ease, for you can simply grab Acrobatics or even get a few KB protection IOs.

    The issue is that doing so takes a power pick and power slot(s), which could be better used putting a Regenerative Tissue unique in, Luck of the Gambler 7.5% Recharge, or any number of goodies. Covering up that KB hole gives less room to improve the build.
  13. Those videos. They no workie.

    On a build I have that's not very tweaked for recharge (not where I want it to be, certainly) I have Consume on a 75s recharge not counting Hasten.

    Honestly, I don't use Consume often at all on that character, and that's a Stone/FA Brute. The only time I can run that Brute out of end is when I get drained or stand toe-to-toe with hard targets and spam my attacks non-stop. Some how I do that is having four sets of Impervium Armor slotted, but I'm considering turning some of those into Gladiator's Armor (for slot "free" KB protection) and letting the new Consume pick up the slack in EPS recovery. (Edit: That change only loses EPS through reduction in max end - GA actually has the same +recovery.)
    *scratches forehead* Sooo... in my build I've posted earlier it would be enough? Or not?

    I really don't think Consume alone could help cover for Blazing Aura. Physical Perfection is essentially what enables my build to use Blazing Aura and with the IO set that I want in it. To date, I've never grabbed Physical Perfection for its Regeneration component either, so I'm not worried about that. See the build link I've posted earlier for further details.

    Without any hint of sarcasm, go ahead and prove me wrong about Consume.
  18. Shadow Meld would be excellent, but for my build I'd have to get rid of Blazing Aura and Physical Perfection. Something I am not prepared to do anytime soon.
