  1. Rain of Arrows is a Location AoE and Full Auto is a cone.
  2. I didn't win, but if I did, I would totally brag.
  3. My opinion is that the -recovery portion lasts too long. Also, considering the downside to ranged AT nukes, they need to really outperform all other AoEs. As it stands, my Fire Blast Corrupter would be slowed down considerably by nuking for not much gain in damage. My Fire Ball -> Rain of Fire -> Fire Ball AoE chain will kill the mob just as dead as the nuke, but I don't have to reactivate 8 toggles, carry blue insps, or wait 20 seconds before I have endurance again.

    From where I am, I can't give exact examples, but I feel that nukes under-perform in the area of DPS and DPA[ctivation time] (again, considering the crash). I find this to be especially true considering the amount of AoE DPS a scrapper can put out with out having to worry about personal safety (e.g. Shield Charge).


    I think I need to either not lose my toggles or do considerably more damage than would have been possible without the nuke. I wouldn't mind toggle dropping if it was a trade for a huge(more than any other attack) amount of damage.
  4. Or it could be on Virtue; then that part of the community doesn't have to worry about server transfer fees or your massive ego!

    slotting swift?

    Travel surpression is not a movement speed debuff. Rather, it is an outside system that sets your movement speed to a certain (very low) level.


    At least, that's my understanding of it; correct me if I'm wrong.

    I really wish none of the various aura powers for Scrappers had Taunt in them. When I see that Shield Defense or Invulnerability has one of them, I consider that a serious drawback to taking the set.
    For me having a taunt aura is a requirement. It's incredibly useful for killing things quickly, and having a defensive secondary, I can make a build survive the aggro.

    No.


  8. This picture is of my main, who I believe I inf capped once before, after selling some purple drops. The inf on him right now is all profit from marketeering across 5 or so alts.

    And, so I ask you: Would anyone care for a cup of tea?

    That's probably because this is a useless thread derailment.
  11. Flares with a hold proc is stupidly effective. Yes, in some cases, it is worth it.

    That much I do not know. If DR applies to it, it applies after ED has affected it in the same way it would affect any other enhanced power.
  13. What they meant to say was: "Two-thirds of these bonuses ignore the effects of enhancement diversification." That would be ED.
    Since you can only currently access Uncommon Boosts, 1/3 of the boost ignores ED. To calculate it, add 2/3 of the boost to the enhancements slotted in a power, then calculate ED on that total, then add the remaining 1/3 of the boost for the final enhancement number on whatever power in question.

    Diminishing Returns is a totally different story, and one not specific to the alpha slot.

    SS/Elec EPIC!

    If you need a build, open Mid's Hero and Villain Designer and get to work. As you said, you have 40Bills, so NO LIMITS!!!
  15. ...or we can make threads about people making threads. That will sure slim down the amount of threads.
  16. Welcome back the Page 1, Nuke Raid Thread!!

    This is a reminder that if you want to participate and see this raid succeed, you need to get nukes! If you need help, just ask!

    LotG is a set bonus, Kismet is a buff.

    I smell tears in the air.
    So I heard this was going to happen.
  19. So.... What happens if the Marketeer's SG decides to take the #1 spot on this server next?
  20. Has anyone volunteered to record this? I can FRAPS it if need be.
