  1. Thanks for the feedback Bronze,
    small clarification: Spirit Shark is the ST KB attack (which I took) - School of Sharks is the Cone Immob attack.

    I also saw that the Rule of 5 is broken:
    7x 2.5% Recovery
    6x 9% Accuracy

    After some tweaking im now 7 secs off Perma Serum, have 2 Chance to Holds (REALLY wanted that 3rd but its not THAT important) and %Damage on all 4 AoE attacks (im going to DESTROY those boxes in Mayhem missions).

  2. Hi all,
    last night I jumped on to organise a Dr Kahn but found most ppl on an ITF.
    It was stinking HOT at my place so after some crafting decided to call it quits for the night - was just too hot and uncomfortable.
  3. Ill probably need to dbl-respec my toon to keep most of her current IO's that I wont be using so between respecs ill slot the Gaussian Proc in Tactics and see for myself.
    Its not that I dont believe you its just I raised a Forum Topic on this exact point a while back and was told definately that it doesnt have a chance to apply every 10 secs.
    If it doesn then Ill swap the slotting for Aim and TT:L.


    Again cheers for the feedback
  4. Hi Two Dollar Bill,
    thanks for having alook and offering advice

    The Gaussian Proc only has a chance to activate when the power its slotted in is activated - it doesnt check for each 'tick' of a toggle (I asked this question before myself ).

    I Hover-Crab in combat all the time yes. I find that im never too far behind as most of the time enemies appear around most corners so the team doesnt get a chance to run too far ahead - if there is a bit when there is a long distance to run I turn off Hover and turn on Sprint+Ninja Run (beast run looks weird with the Crab legs imo). Also with Mental Training I may change it to a +Fly Speed IO (shame I cant use IO Sets with that power )

    It was either Kick or Boxing and Kick allows me to use the fairly cheap Force Feedback +Rech proc. I may never really use it but tbh I couldnt think of anything else to put in that single slot. I dont think it HURTS the build to have it in and the cost is a) negligable and b) I already have it

    I took so many attack powers so I can do either lots of AoE damage or lots of ST damage without using lots of End (AoE attack on a single foe).

    Supression - wow I made a mistake there. I cant see why I didnt put in the 5th Posi_Blast so I can only assume I muffed it. Fixed

    I can see your point about perferred power slotting.
    I was chasing Set Bonuses and will take another look at actual ENH bonuses for used powers a bit when I get home (really shouldnt be playing in Mids at work lol). But ill prob do:
    - Remove Dev D/E from Channelgun
    - Remove 2 from WAWG
    - Leave WAWG with 2x Acc/Imm/Rec [Frakenslot]
    - Add 1 to Supression (Achiles Heel %ResDebuff)
    - Add 2 to Call Reinforcement
    - Remove the 2 Purples from Call Reinforcement and add in 4 Expedient Reinforcement
  5. What Ill be doing is leaving this for another few days and then changing the title from Critique to "Sharing" as obviously my build is so damn good it walks sideways (like a crab gedit? :P).
  6. Hi all,
    here is my planned respec for my hover Crab.
    Goal is to reach softcap for Ranged and AoE (done @ 48.6% and 45.7%) and get close to s/c for Melee (done @ 41.4%).
    This toon should only be in melee rang when in tunnels when WAWG misses
    Psi Def is at 38.2%.
    This is a team AoE and buff toon that can do some light tanking (Ranged Def and 55% S/L Res) and also light debuff (Venom Grendade + Arctic Breath + Suppression).

    I was bouncing around with using either a full set of Devastations for the +Reg, +HP, +Dam and +Psi Def in Channelgun but instead when with 4x Thunderstrikes and 2 Devs for the inc Recovery, Acc and Ranged Def and still getting the +Regen along with the %Hold proc.

    I currently have 3 of the Dev %Holds and I love seeing that electric cage effect when it goes off which is quite often on my 3 ST attacks.

    Cardiac Alpha is used although I also toyed with the idea of Musculature Radial (+EndMod) but the +End wasnt a big enough impact to outweigh the -EndUse for Cardiac.

    I took Call Reinforcements for additional damage and agro control (plus I already have those 2 Purples )

  7. fter discussing the proposed +4 MoITF with some ppl in game last night I realised it may be difficult for get a full team (not NEEDED but would be good) of toons with all 5 Incarnates slotted online at that point in time.

    So to make it more available but still possible Im reducing the min-req to 50+1 (which means a level 50 toon with a T3 or T4 Alpha).

    The more toons with more Incarnate powers will make it easier
  8. The new IDF is cool and Im planning on spending some time working on the biggest armour costume I can.

    Although using a HUGE body type with makes me laugh when jumping - you look like a plush toy with suction cups stuck on a window.
  9. This has been suggested a few time and I for one would love to see some more (Power) Armor pieces.

    I even came up with a Power Armor power set but side tracked myself a bit and did it wrong (was based on a slight tweak of Shield Defence but with less overall Def and some utility powers).
    But to be honest (as was pointed out to me) Id simply made a Shield Defence-Energy Armor combo set (with some new stuff) and added Heavy Armor/Power Armor costime pieces.

    I want to see some massive Armor costumes. Like 40K stuff. Even huge Medieval Full Plate without the arrow pointing at my crotch ('yes I know what that is thanks').
  10. Hey MrF,
    if you need iXP or Threads make sure you do this weeks and next weeks WST for the NOTW and break them down into Threads.
    My Crab Spider had Judgement at ~58% last night and I used about 20 Threads I think (and 20 Mil INF) to fully unlock Judgement. I then burned a NOTW (= 40 Threads) and made a T2 Pyronic (had SOME salvage from actual iTrials ).

    Funilly enough last night J-Sonic ran a +3 ITF with some non-50's and we had no problems (my Crab died once when I was scrapper-locked on 3 CIM's and didnt see the ambush from behind and got SMACKED with cascading defense failure. My bad for not staying together with the team (wasnt a MO so I wasnt fully focused). I think all up we had about 4-5 deaths which isnt bad.

    But as a MO run we need NO deaths (zero, zip, nada).
  11. Hi all,
    I have been hearing requests for a fully formed Incarnate Team to take on a Master Of Rommy at +4 for the entire TF.

    So lets make it happen!!
    Requirements = All 5 Incarnate powers slotted (T1 at least).

    Thats it

    As this is a MO attempt at +4 no non-Incarnate toons will be allowed.
    This is NOT a speed run. This is a TEAM so stay together and wortk as a TEAM (no solo'ers running off to do this bit or that bit faster).

    This is short notice for this Wedensday (19/10) so instead lets aim for the following Wednesday (26/10) to allow ppl to be aware of it (will add to the Aust Channel MOTD) and also run more Incarnate Content if they need to.
  12. Hi all,
    sorry I didnt make an appearance last night I wasnt feeling the best with a tooth ache (dentist appt this afternoon).
    Drowsy pain pills were needed so I could also sleep however it also made my brain even more slow.

    I hope you all had fun and if anything was run feel free to post it in here.

  14. This is not a build suggestion as my KM/EA brutes runs Kinetic Combats and LotG's (no Purples/PVP).
    You mentioned cost which a lot of ppl have issues with.

    Here is a tip: run Tip missions (sorry coudlnt help myself )
    Run 5 tips a day (which is the max allowed). After the 10th tip grind for the next Tip mission which is a special Morality Missions and can be run on the same day as the 2nd lot of 5 (so in effect you can do 6 tips if you have already done the first 5 the day prior).
    First time you do this and keep your alignment as Hero or Villain you get 50 Reward Merits.

    However each time you do this again (and keep your alignment as Hero or Villain) you will get a special Alignment Merit. 2 A.Mertis can purchase any non-purple/pvp IO recipe (Miracle+, Numi++, LotG +Rech, Obliteration quad, etc).
    First stop is to make a Numi ++ (or other proc) and craft/sell it on the WW/BM.
    This will allow you to purchase the majority of your IO's.
    The next 2 Merits you get either repeat for more cash or craft and use what you need.

    Now with an /EA brute you can easily stealth past (or just regular brute stealth) past mos tof the mobs on the Tip missions to get to the final part (kill boss, glowie, etc) and complete the missions VERY fast. Some missions are Kill alls though.
    Also by killing any lvl 20+ enemy has a chance to grant a new Tip mission so you will NEED to be killing some bad guys along to way so you can do more.

    If this is an option for you (GR is needed and some people just dont WANT to have to run 5 missions a day on a toon to help it) then redo your build ignoring the cost of IO's (except Purples/PvPs as they are worth a lot more A.Merits).

    OK if this works Ill be sending Lazarillo a great big thank you
    While 30 seconds isnt a long time it is annoying.

    If any changes are to be made then I think an easy solution is to just have "Press [Space] to cancel".
    Its the biggest button on the keyboard and often the closest to the user (I did say often not always ).

    Or if they want to really get into it allow it to be set-up in Options - Key Mappings (prob a bit over-the-top but some people will want to have to hit CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+WindowsKey+RIGHT_CTRL+BACKSPACE+F6 to cancel the log-out)
  16. And here is the list of awesome characters that helped kick Battle Maidens leather covered butt:

    Lacivious Thrust
    Simon Self-Sacrifice
    TinkerKat
    Smashlee
    Pion Wave
    Mis Chief
    ArmourFiend
    Rishathra Robot
  17. Had this issue for a while but never thought much of it.
    When I make a new toon my default options are not loaded automatically.
    When I click the Load Options button (or whatever its called) nothing happens.
    My graphic settings (ie: Interface size = 85%, opacity = 72%), keybinds (ie: Select Nearest Target = [Tab], Select Next Target = [shift+tab] and [Mouse 5]) all have to be manually changed.

    However my chat bubble stays as I want it (black bg with white text).

    I have made a new toon, made th echnages and then 'Save to File' - exited the options
    Re-entered Option - changed something - applied and exited Options.
    Re-entered Options - clicked Load Options - nothing changes.

    What am I doing wrong?
  18. Hi all,
    last night Plant and I did the SigArc 1 and 2 back to back.
    We were pleasantly surprised to receive the full award table for both Arcs (so I was able to gain 2 A.Mertis in just under an hour).
    As it was a first run were were taking our time through the new Arc (#2) so im sure future runs can be much faster if needed.

    Not sure how often you can get the full reward table though (1/18 hrs, 1/day, 1/week, etc)?

    After that we formed an Apex for the WST.
    We completed in 1:04 with an unknown number of deaths (I forget )
    It had been a while since many of us had done the Apex so a lot of the little things (and not so little) were forgotten.
    Example: It wasnt until late in the Battle Maiden fight that I thought to use Envenomed Daggers to reduce her Regen.
    Example: Hovering/flying too far off the ground can make the Blue Swords of Doom impossible to see for others.

    I will update this forum with those who attended as I left the screenshot with the toon names at home and I dont want to miss or miss-spell someones name.

    And now, ... A Walk in the Black Forest ...
    OK this almost made me choke on my coffee
    I just watched that episode last night (Goodies - goody goody yum yum).
    Just thought of a good VG name - "The Saucy Gibbon"

    As much as I understand that with all the changes (i21) there were bugs and they want them fixed ASAP it is getting to the point that it is affecting us too much.
    Logic and understanding becomes less and less tolerable as we become more and more affected.

    Its understandable but also getting to be a smack in the face. While Oceania may be a small fish in the big pond we are still members of the community and are heavily affected due to the timezones.
  20. It was the Location that was at fault and not the lack of .Net 4. You can reinstall .Net 4.

    A friend of mine in Japan had the exact same error the other night after biying a new rig.
    NCSoft support actually told him to uninstall .Net 4 and .Net 3.5.

    We decided to compare our install files and see if anything looked wierd (liek a missing file). On a hunch we compared to contents of the launcher.config file (or something like that) and in there was a "Language=jp" setting.
    My launcher.config file did not have any such setting (Im in Australia).
    My mate changed it to "language=en" and it worked
  21. Hi all,
    last night I wasnt up for much so I joined Dr Leo Darkheart and some others in running some Hero tips.
    Only stayed for a short while then logged off (just wasnt in the mood to play the game).

    Was that worth a post? In and of itself probably not but as the organiser of all things Heros side on Mondays it is a requirement (as per Section 4, paragraph b.vi of the "So your on Australia Channel and want to run regular events?" rulebook).
  22. With the costume change when Fury bar is full - its a lot more difficult now to reach 100% Fury since they made some changes a few issues back (I forget which issue).
    The changes allow you to MAINTAIN a high amount of fury (70%+ I think) but reaching 100% is difficult (Villain Alignment Power Frenzy does this but only for about 30 secs).
  23. Just something I saw that may have been lost in translation.

    Electric_emu mentioned the sword sets offering Parry/Divine Avalanch which both provide +15% Melee/Lethal Def.
    Dual Blades does NOT offer this power.
    By Sword sets he meant Broad Sword/Katana.
  24. Im not sure if this is what the OP meant but if not well let me ask it

    Do ENH affect both values?
    So taking Sarrates values as default =
    1: 3.75 + (1 * 0.75) = 4.5

    Add in 1 Level 50 Def IO (+25.5%).
    Does this affect both the 3.75% AND the 0.75% - making them=
    4.71 (3.75 +25.5%) + (1* 0.94 [0.75 +25.5%])
  25. Its that generic Kingston RAM.
    I told you to buy the G.Skill stuff
    /jokes

    Im guessing you have already tried turning off UAC (reboot required)?
