I’d definitely need a screenshot to understand these alleged mythical builds where opportunity costs don’t exist.

If you are pursuing defense bonuses you are inevitably making sacrifices…

Eh. No. Having to rebuild Domination once or twice is waaay better than having anemic offenses. Especially if you have a Snipe you can interrupt to build Domination in 2 seconds.

Yeah idk I’d say that changing the mechanics of how characters move in the game is a pretty dramatic change, but perhaps a dev can tell us that it is not - I wouldn’t know.

Insanity! I, for one, need a minimum of 11 pool powers on every corruptor/defender in my spreadsheet (3 Speed/2 Leaping/3 TP/2 Leadership/1 Psy or 2 Soul), so at a minimum 5 powers have to be cut.

The soft cap is real but mostly a noob trap tbh

You people and your aggressive/ambitious asks

I linked you a thread that contained reasons.

My pylon testing data indicated that Storm is already capable of keeping up in hard 1v1 fights with some of the sets that do -regen due to all of its added damage and -res.

Just the most recent one. Responses cover many of the reasons why vehicles wouldn’t work in this game.

Good catch but only a full Kinetic Melee revamp will be acceptable.

It is specifically always a gunslinger who is standing there punching his hand before aggro’d.

Actually reviewed my character list to see if I was gonna get a buff but no dice 😔

Reasonable choices I can see being appealing but not overpowered. Good job.

Considering what a niche and ridiculous problem it is to be disturbed by patrol XP, I’d say this is the solution.

The only AoE powers you want to potentially proc in Arse Control are Sleep Grenade and Flash Bang. I can’t remember if I bothered with proc bombing those on my Arse/Arse Dom, but I definitely did on my Arse/Marine Troller. And yeah you probably have to be in melee a little more than Earth/Fire. If only because /Fire has three good ranged attacks where /Arse has two - so I wound up using Elbow Strike. The mines aren’t great or terrible. Better than Combustion at least, I’d reckon.

Pretty sure Disney has been 100% trash for many years by now. Kinda all there is to it.

Don’t even bother with the regeneration bonuses unless you’re making an AFK build. An AFK build usually has Energy Mastery, so I’m assuming this is an active build.

Agreed this makes way more sense than a new set.

Correct - A power like Dispersion Bubble *could* belong in a Sentinel APP… as long as it’s nerfed all the way down to basically being Maneuvers. Strip away the mez protection and 75% of the defense buff and it would probably be acceptable. If that’s what you really want…

T3 and T5 are major stretches

Considering I love both my Dark/Psi/Fire Tanker and my Bio/Ice/Fire Tanker, I’m not seeing anything wrong with the proposed powerset combination.

Force Field is not lackluster.

Right there with ya good buddy

Maelwys is basically correct here even though I take issue with the word “sucking”. My Spines/Fire Brute has a high veteran level so I refuse to abandon it as my primary farmer. But I have done a few tests where I stuck my afk Spines/Fire Brute in one meteor map and an afk Stone/Rad Tanker in another meteor map, and the Tanker had a clear map sooner. Not so much sooner that I’m going to scrap my Brute, but it was clear who the winner was. My Brute also has 3 builds, so I can at least change to a much higher damage active farming build when I know I’m going to be present to click Healing Flames. Though I’ve never tested a Tanker active farming build so I may be taking a slight L there too.
