So Troll Lts were giving my Grav/Eng Dom some serious hassle tonight. If they get the chance to pop Integration before I can hold them I'm not able to hold them unless Dom is up. I'm under the impression Castle "went through the code" and made several NPC power(sets) work better. Malta Titians basically got a buff now that they properly cycle their powers, and even use powers they didn't know they had. Did Troll Lts get the same treatment?


I've arrested a lot of Trolls and I don't ever remember them having full on mez protection, although I remember them using the animation. In the past when they used Integration I just assumed it was some sort of +Res buff since I've never had a problem holding them in the past. Come to think of it, if there's a power that you can get by level 20 that will hold/sleep/stun/KB a Troll I have used that power to mez a Troll and not given it a second thought.

I don't mind the buff, and since they have Integration it makes sense it works as intended.

Lame Prompt is Lame

Going with S/L over ranged defense on a blaster just screams
"Mez me I love to be Mezed"

So the assumption is come GR, you have a great time, get to level 20, and then decide Hero or Villain. So zone wise you have weigh your choices.

Go Hero and you can go to
Talos
IP
Striga
Faultline

or go Villain and you can go to
Sharkshead Isle

Sharkshead is so lame, its so lame, everyone would say Sharkshead is their least favorite island if Mercy wasn't lamer.

I bet someone gonna follow up this post and tell me about some Hazard Zone blueside, that I haven't been to in over 2 years as anther option for Paragon bound Pratorians.

You should look into some sort of bind system for hover and fly, move those slots around some.

Try /bind mbuttton "powexecname fly$$powexecname hover"
that allows you to go from fly to hover and back by just pressing your mouse scroll button.

You're slotting 2 sets of Detonation, those 10 slots get you 3.6% AOE defense. Slot Positrons blast instead, the 12.5% recharge will help more then that defense.

You've 6 slotted Gaussians for a defense bonus +2.5 to all positional damage but you haven't slotted a full set of thunderstrike anywhere. Both single target blasts, Voltic sential, and your snipe can take thunderstirkes and they are cheap pool A recipes and each set offers 3.75 to range. I have a set of thunderstike slotted in my telsa cage.

The set you have slotted in Stamina and the set slotted in Short Circuit needs to be swapped around. the Performance Shifter proc, the one that grants endurance will only have a chance to fire everytime you use SC. Put it in Stamina and it has the chance to go off every 20 seconds.

I'll admit I have no idea what set bonuses you get from Unbound leap, but a full set just seems like a waste. Why not 3 slot trip mine with some Eradication for a small Ranged Def bonus.

Are Zentradi Mechs Digitigrade? I allows thought those wear the coolest. Palladium let you play as an earth aligned Zentradi officer in one of the later Robotech RPGs and they had similar mechs but they had arm cannons with these wee little hands.

Found a pic here

a GM farm is boring and I feel bad for all those kids going from lvl 3 to the mid 20s and having no money for enhancements. No so bad that I'd give them any spare influ bad I do have some pity laying around I can spare.

its not even a good way to get tickets

I'd say Elec, you get a cone attack and it has a hold for you to stack with tesla cage to hold bosses with.

Its just a freedom fires joke, hope it isn't too soon.

Electoknight reminded me though of those days on Freedom long ago. It was cool to get invited to a PUG and the first thing they asked you was French or English. The French taught me what "bio" meant. They also taught me the french phrase for "I'm pulling to here" but I don't remember it anymore

I wish the European servers were in the same server list I see when I log in, I'd hang out in European Icon in steel. The only landscape thats different between our two worlds are the costumes we make. Are the French using less black and red then we are? Patriotic toons (Captain Americanish) are every where, do the Germans have an equivalent?

I wonder how you redeem them in game, do you leave the customer creator and all 5 are in your inventory or do you redeem them like vet rewards.

I'd be stoked to have these enhancements on every new character I make after GR comes out, but I wouldn't change trade playing Dual Pistols these past couple months for it.

Are there any Toxic attacks in the game that aren't also lethat? Poison arrows and darts, spines I can't think of any toxic damage that wouldn't get stopped (potentially) by lethal defense.

Do the Vahz vomit toxic damage on you, are any of the spits the Snakes or Coralox use toxic?

Every Stun & Hand Grenade, Envenom Dagger and Plasmatic Taser gets emailed to my global unless I have the same recipe sitting in my inbox. If I'm playing a toon that doesn't have one of those powers I claim that email and craft it.

Some of those recipes have pretty expensive salvage requirements. I had a tier two heal recipe or backup radio drop and it required a Reactive Gas to craft. That's a 2 million inf piece of salvage.

For most of my toons these temps last a long time but my stone/stone dom burns through stun grenades.

I think Plasmatic Taser is the best temp in the game though. Having a power that can sweep a mob into a corner is great, having to waste a power pick on such a power can suck (I'm looking at you Torrent).

Grab both Neutrino Bolt and X-Ray Beam, you will get mezzed and you want attacks that will work while mezzed.

A nice thing about Mental is the range on that immobilize you have to take. It has an 80ft range which is twice the distance of of all the other blaster immobs (which I feel is unfair) you also get an extra cone.

Don't count this as a vote for mental I'm just pointing out a couple nice benefits that mental has.

When it comes to Positional and Typed defense don't most debuffs in the game have a positional component. A brute isn't gonna have to worry about a mez, and some of my least favorite debuffs, quicksand and caltrops are autohit. But things like sappers, ring mistresses and vanguard bosses have debuffs that I think are all ranged attacks.

When I softcap a blasters I'll always go for range over s/l since it seems ranged defense will help keep me unmezzed more often then s/l defense.

I believe the correct title for this thread would be

A Freedom Podcast about City of Heroes/Villains

What a bummer were deleting posts over that video and I promise not to bring it up again but I was really hoping a conversation had started somewhere about that brief moment when War Witch used her ARE YOU READY TO ROCK voice.

/normaltoonofvoice we took it to the next level with CoV with going rouge

/RUREADY2ROK we took it to the next level

A downside to that "heal" is you click the power, and then you wait, and then you get some health restored.

For me the biggest downside to my EM/EA brute is I'll be soloing and having a great time and then I get an invite to a team and they expect me to tank. I might be able to survive the Alpha, I'm not gonna be able to hold agro.
