My understanding is the Burn pseudo pet gets a duplication of the same proc rate instantly all damage upfront. I dunno if that's right though, so I'll differ to the power wizards.

Is it a nerf, so much as fixing a bug that has persisted for some time? I would think a nerf assumes that a power was operating as intended, but exceeded expectations in real world use cases and needed to be pared back down to bring it in line with other similar powers.

That is, wow. So much more impressive! I may have to transfer over my main badger from Indom to get those pesky Master of badges.

I thought it was based on the earlier idiom, "Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life." 🔥

There's a lot of nuisances that aren't explicitly stated anywhere when playing games like this. OP does a good job at highlighting them.

This is a general discussion post, so I feel inclined to add my response to the OP. Archetypes were important to how the game was played on release back in 2004. Archetypes followed key roles that balanced each other together in a multiplayer environment, so that as the difficulty of the content increased, the need for each role became more apparent. If you've stuck with this game since then, you'll be aware of the reality that archetypes are really just a formality now. Epic and Patron Pool Powers, temporary powers, heck even Day Jobs and P2W powers offer a little bit of everything, so a Defender can play like a Tank or a Peacebringer can fill the role of a Scrapper (though this is more inherent to the archetype than others). With this Freeeeeedom, players can do whatever they want nowadays. They aren't consigned to a specific role that only works "best" with specific builds. The game is back, play how you want to. But when you are teaming with other players, I ask that you try not to make other players feel left out if their "set role or archetype" isn't being fulfilled on a team.

All these things are available through day job or temporary powers. The shield is thru the Shield Defense set, and everything else can be snagged by influence or story arc mission completion bonuses.

I'm curious, are all of these badgers on separate accounts or are they on one account?

Are you referring to Galaxy Brain?

Check my signature!

Sure thing, though I'm pretty sure there is supposed to be a space in between the words. Not in game to test at the moment, but if it's not working try /select_build #. Take a look at this list for other wild ideas: https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/List_of_Slash_Commands#S

Let's add knockback so we can slot Force Feedback +Rech procs!

Looks like I may have to update my lore post.... soonTM

Agree again, the Fandom page is advertisement city. It makes me cringe every time I accidentally open a link to that site.

Looks like Vile Terror has got you covered, though I would recommend this great resource for future question: https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Main_Page and https://cod.uberguy.net/

Right! I am still working on my main badger, who I rolled in July of 2019

Trust @srmalloy, I was corrected on my use of 'here here,' as 'hear, hear' a few months ago and I can now confidently walk around parties agreeing with people without a care 😁

That's a fun game, I enjoyed it when servers reset, but I haven't played it lately. Updates look cool though. Good concept!

Oh man I'm glad you linked that, I rolled a Widow after reading your thread the first time but I forgot all about it!

@Veracor should know this one! I've seen over 1,000, dunno how far Incarnate Threads can stack after that.

Yeah Stalker Electric Melee is in a nice place. I slot Power Transfer: Chance for Self Heal in as many of the primary attacks that I can.

Yeah exactly, I like the balancing they've done with the other pool attacks so far, so I'm confident they'll get Flurry and Jump Kick in a good place too.

Make the Flurry animation three times faster and do three times the damage, but last five seconds.

And that is why I struggled with mainstream comic book protagonists. My favorite character is Batman, but I loathe reading anything to do with him when he is some how able to fight dimension altering beings with his "wit and prowess."

They could do it the same way they do with the diceroll emote. Show those hand gestures above the player or something.
