Talk about a thankless job >.< Hopefully we don't end up with roving bands of self-appointed character police

I imagine that the new balance would be seen as a feature, not a bug. The game definitely would get a bit harder for most people. Im convinced nerfing Hasten would have been a great idea once upon a time. Its just too late.

If you have a 75% resist cap, that mitigates 95% of damage?

Wait .. you want people to level even FASTER? /jranger

That was the idea i had, yeah. But your counter suggestion of reducing the prerequisite # by 1 is pretty cool too.

Fire should be paired with Fire though Because nothing is sneakier than someone on fire.

So fire is lagging because of the lack of mitigation?

45% defense beats 75% resist though especially on status protection deprived blasters. Thus Scorpion Shield

Well its cooler than that though The Expys didn't belong to DC when made .. But then DC bought the company that owned Captain Atom, The Question, etc. Asked Moore to integrate their new characters, changed their mind, and so Moore made Expys of the Expys instead. Then years later some aspects of the Expy Expys got rolled into some of their predecessor Expys .. So .. fun times.

You can get creative with binds to effectively have rotating autopowers if you throw in a commonly used button ( like tab or run forward) So everytime you run forward you trigger hasten if its up. Everytime you click Tab you trigger rage if its up, Etc

The irony in Green Arrow is real. Originally he was an expy of Batman for some company later bought by DC which was then borrowed by Hawkeye. Or how about Watchmen? They were expys of expys. Making Dr Manhattan a third hand Superman.

A EA/SS tanker would be pretty awesome with the new changes.

Normally Id agree. But Eye of the Storm is just that dumb.

Or offer the same power with the normal sprint animation ninja run and beast run are the same power Call it freerunning or something

/agree Just use the katana pboe animation or something

This is one of the reasons sequels tend to have muted mechanic variations. Something like hasten would have been a lot different in a COH 2 Of course removing mechanic variations in games tends to make builds boring ...

Basically.. Right now I have a car that gets 30mpg, but at 88mph it gets 60mpg. But Captain PH says I can get a car that gets 40mpg all time instead. Plus you know it seats more people. And has a bigger gas tank. And can go faster in a pinch. So unless I spend a lot of the time driving 88mph, I'm better off with the new hotness. Doc Brown has reminded me I don't drive 88 mph all that often.

Think it was only visually, not buff values. If it stacked you'd get a recharge feedback loop. Stacking would make it easier to stack ... moar recharge!!!!111

Secret alpha server .. sounds shady lol Ill be really surprised if burn is nerfed. It already got nerfed way back in the day

Electric melee is more about AOE The Sapper thing is unreliable at best, esp in the melee attack set. With the proposed tanker changes on test, Ele Melee is one of the ones that really benefits.

I think a buff that helps me a lot all the time beats a buff that helps me a tiny bit all the time, but more than the first once in a while.

If it was about balance it would have a duration of about 30 seconds, but the same cool down it has now. No, I'm not advocating that.

Bruising mainly only helps with EB, GM and AVs right?

Oh I see it now ... its in an Entirely different thread. 0.o

Not sure semantics is what is going on here, I suspected you meant the Taunt Aura, but I couldn't read your mind. I just went back and looked thinking I missed it? Maybe here since you say the secondary taunt aura shores up the glaring weakness. Unless it has other weaknesses? You can slot taunt duration into the Taunt aura to help there some. Sure any other tanker or Brutes aura will beat it out, but they can generally handle it. An SR has a big Strength at low level and if you exemplar a lot, since you can softcap at a lower level than any other AT combination. Being Softcapped during a Synapse TF isn't too shabby.
