the best Tutorial is the Going Rogue one. Too bad Goldside is so empty though.

This. or a Sentinel for a much tougher one with less toys. Or a Crab Spider. Add in Lore Pets/Temp powers We don't need a new AT for everything.

the unique flavor / non-proliferation / "dont feels right" Longbow Chopper has flown. Fix Rage, then Proliferate.

Regen seems popular with Sentinels for some reason. Maybe the early Recovery bonus.

This is true. I never remember to even use my Lore pet. So I could see more powers like this being allowed earned in PVP Also maybe some Accolades that add PVP only bonuses, earned by PVP, sounds fair

Katana! Katana! Katana!

MA/SR Claw/Regen BS/Invul Those are some real classics

Except you could have all sorts of differences in the dedicated PVP server possibly Open world PVP in Atlas park, for example

There are a lot of people who only play because they can be MMs. Discouraging them always seemed like a dumb and counter productive move to me.

Maybe there should be a pvp server?

Ive seen this in several MMOs, also the attitude described is familiar to me. Of course the counter is always, "give an example." When you give one, that will be countered with some rationalizations of why that example doesn't apply. Etc etc.

Shrug. I find i always have too many powers and not enough slots. Losing one to boxing does not seem like such a loss as people make out. I was more commenting on the sudden disaffection than anything else.

Its possible to make the PSI a shallow hole with the +6% psi resist IOs I think a brute or scrapper can have three of those. Stalker two

You do lose a lot of potential survivability with no fighting pool. But that's your call Couple thoughts Entropic Aura is a toggle you really only need the one slot, prob end red. You can free up a slot there. Energy drain doesn't necessarily need to be slotted for endurance. The end return is huge. I only have 1 lotg in mine, and it completely fills my blue bar whenever i use it. You might want some def in it with this build.

The scrapper or stalker won't have the same aggro management. Most won't even have a taunt aura They can be built survive the attacks though

Also note pylon type results don't take into account the massive disparity in damage caps. Go from solo to a duo with a /kin corruptor. Now the Brute is miles ahead.

So basically the tanker can do 75% of the brutes damage, but the brute can still tank 95% of content. Think that's kind of the point about not overlapping.

Would be cool if they could. In fact would make a good suggestion towards the "this game is too easy" problem.

Think TW is an outlier. How does that tank compare to a brute with the same sets?

Some thoughts on my new favorite def set. Really you can easily softcap to all but PSI and Neg. But you might need to drain depending on the build. Leveling up and exemplar are great because your main shields come early PLUS the kinetic damper temp power will softcap your S/L defense. My EA stalker is vet level 7 now. No defeats yet. Think a brute is next.

I think a lot of these suggestions are becoming too jumbled and complex. Seems like a lot of knots to twist in just to keep double stacked Rage. Interestingly the AT that becomes the more broken with 2xrage, is the same one most hurt by the penalties. That at least seems more fair. The OP was arguing for no def penalty 2x rage btw.

Tbh i keep forgetting this game even has PVP Getting teleported to a superbase with a bunch of portals was actually more immersive than the Oro portal That said, its no big deal if it gets removed.

Suggesting that the overlap works both ways is kind of laughable. IO Brute taking over tanks role for 95% of content but also doing IO near-scrapperish damage = true IO tank able to do IO near-scrapperish damage = false. If the overlap worked both ways, this thread would lose 75% of its replies.

Im guessing this is so people can skip the fighting pool. Fighting pool seems like its the unflavor of the month.

Regarding the IO levels balance. The Tanker ATO really didn't help much. Making tanks more survivable was pretty meh.
