If we are on for today I'll join with Jax Constantine - Demons/Cold

One side effect that I haven't testing much, Claws and Spines have single target ranged attacks that have shorter ranges than Throw Spines and Shockwave. That really does make those sets feel very odd when impale won't fire off but Shockwave will. There's a lot of muscle memory that just seems to make this change feel wrong.

I'll bring back out the Poison/Rad Defender - Cancer Treatment

Focused Feedback: Powerset - Plant Control

Solo, adaptive recharge might be over kill on small spawns. And a single target hold with damage might be more efficient. But midsized teams, 3-5 players, any power with adaptive recharge is going be more readily available. Lower proc chances might mean Bosses are confused less. There's for sure going to be a line where the updated version is better in situation X and also where it's now 'worse' in situation Y. Hopefully on larger teams, you don't have to rely on Seeds as heavily. My play testing has me thinking I will be doing more Plant power casting going forward vs utilizing my secondary powers as heavily. Spirit Tree has more uses, Vines changes make it more appealing to not 'save' for an emergency. I will probably have to respec and pick up Spores.... hard to figure out what to drop and where to find slots. -
Focused Feedback: Powerset - Ice Armor

I have enjoyed Icy Bastion for a long time on my Scrapper. I like the ability to also have the Hibernate protection, reminds me of my Ice Tanker on Live. I am not good with macros in game, but is there a method of creating a macro that can enable a toggle, but not detoggle it if clicked twice? Not the greatest solution, but something I'd be happy enough with, considering the extra -
Was there any factors to determine which AoE Holds received this treatment? Testing this while solo or on a small team, I'm just spamming Glacier now. There's no reason not to throw it at every group, then wait and see if Arctic Air confuses everything, if not cast Glacier again. Is the added recharge intended to apply only if a target is Held or also apply if the power misses? Simply noticing if you miss a couple of targets, the power is then just back quicker. Not a ton of play testing, but it feels like a powerful change. Making an AoE hold a focal point power of a build vs. an emergency use power.

In general I think most could agree that Seeds of Confusion was an incredibly strong lower tier power. Controller game play for me is mostly about having a level of control to consistently cast other than an AoE immobilize. The knee jerk reaction for myself tends to be, I will NEED to TAKE and USE MORE powers from my Primary going forward to achieve a similar result that I have currently. But we aren't gaining new powers or slots, so I have to lose other powers. Controller game play for me is mostly about having a level of control to consistently cast other than an AoE immobilize. There are power sets in the game that shine as a whole where taking all or most of the powers is advantageous. And also some of their counter part sets that provide that useful ness with fewer powers. That's really where the build flexibility comes in to play for me. What power pools do I take or do I take more primary powers? I haven't had time to transfer alts to test or do respecs, but it sure feels like there will be less flexibility in choosing powers to drop going forward. It's incredibly challenging to balance a power around +0/x4 early game play and +4/x8 end game content. Just lowering the target cap and possibly confuse duration tweaks would be enough along with the buffs to other powers. Or swap the power order of Seeds and Carrion Creepers if the recharge of Seeds needs to increase, putting it more in line with other later tier powers. -
I should be around, Weekends are either over scheduled or I'm sleeping in past the theme team start time. But yes holiday weekends can be a drain.
-
I have server patching at work tomorrow, early enough I think I need to abstain from Theme team. The Following week or two i'll be out of town again... Maybe see you nerds in Nov

Mark me as a maybe with Tano Jax, Ice/Fire Blaster. Has a brand new build to AoE the shit outta some Rikti.
-
Often just the one that does damage to the Hydra head. This crew is pretty relaxed and takes it slow, so probably both.
-

So this whole crowd strike issue is probably going to prevent me from being available for a while.
-
@TrixieKixx you just focus on your health.
