My top secret data shows that the figure is cut in half when knockback posts are filtered out, so that’s a shame.

My Rad/Savage prefers more procs in the three mini nukes, for starters.

I have an Earth/Martial, but my build is all ranged (well maybe I have Dragons Tail, can’t remember). It’s an Earth/Martial/Fire so I use Fossilize/Trick Shot/Masterful Throw/Exploding Shuriken as s/t attacks and Trick Shot/Fire Ball/Rain of Fire for AoE. I wanted to fit Caltrops in, but it’s best with 5 procs, and I think I was hunting for bonuses by that time.

That’s def not a PvP build

Nice to have something like a tentative timeline instead of the “Soon” I’ve been misinterpreting for months now 🙂 thank u ❤️

Did you just publicly state that we definitely won’t see patch notes until November?

I saw the thread title and guessed the poster.

Conversations about roles are frustrating on this forum by default. Way too many people willfully see things in black and white when there should be shades of grey. For instance, implying people want forced trinity play when they express that maybe the game could require more thought and teamwork than 8 DPS AT’s dropping everything dead at max difficulty but with zero difficulty. Or, for instance, implying people are fighting Council when they try to talk about lack of difficulty.

Yeah I have no idea. And yet the changes are publicly available, whether they should be or not.

Well I’m aware of two new powersets, one powerset rework, and several individual power tweaks (animations, extra effects, etc) just from talking to testers - they just need to go public with the beta so the deets can be considered declassified and we can all talk plainly about them here 🙂 That being said, a lot of the new stuff has been on and off City of Data by now, so not sure how much of a secret we actually have to treat it as?

It means no and everyone who types it means no

We’ve already been aware of a few things for months, they’re just clearly taking their time moving anything to open beta... Heck I made a couple of characters to capitalize on specific power tweaks a good while back, and now they’re just gathering dust.

Did it used to be a DoT kick? I have a vague childhood recollection of such a thing. Could be making it up.

I’m guessing you came up with this assumption as a way of explaining why attacks aren’t constantly hitting for 2k damage, instead of taking into account mob debuff resistance, etc. That being said, with a lot of -res (like, Poison, Trick Arrow, etc.), you can in fact see wild things of that sort.

It’s already apparent you don’t understand how much damage defenders are capable of. Discussion’s pretty much over, this is such an obvious lolno. Hop over to the Defender subforum for build help, the AT already does enough of what you seek.

For the record, I have no problem with this suggestion if it’s an easy fix. My posts were simply trying to get at the true essence of the problem. As someone who hangs out in Ouro in a populous server, I simply have never once been unable to get out of Ouro via the portal. This leaves me wondering exactly how small and insignificant the inconvenience is. However, me questioning the extent of the problem does not amount to “aggression” or anything like that. They’re just questions. As for people that misrepresent every criticism of every suggestion as some apocalyptic phobia like “it could cause the world to implode”... well, logically, those people aren’t particularly worth listening to, are they.

Evasive Maneuvers buff is probably dropping off when you activate Maneuvers.

Yeah when I’m home 🙂 EDIT: @The_Warpact here you go: /macro_image "StaffFighting_PerfectionofSoulLevel1" "Build #1 - PvP" "select_build 1" /macro_image "StaffFighting_PerfectionofSoulLevel2" "Build #2 - PvE Flyer" "select_build 2" /macro_image "StaffFighting_PerfectionofSoulLevel3" "Build #3 - PvE Runner" "select_build 3"

My main just set up build change macros so he has a flying blaster mode, a blapper mode, and a PvP mode, and he has little “1”, “2”, “3” buttons from Staff icons. Blaster is definitely a good bet for versatility. Maybe also doms?

But what do you think of the “move your cursor a little” suggestion that has a 100% success rate for me on Excelsior?

Defender damage is fine, and far more than fine with IO’s.. Sorry but this one is definitely a no. When a solid portion of your vocal experienced players are acting like Defenders are so good they render Corruptors obsolete (I disagree but it’s a thing), this is the last thing you want to do. It sounds like you may want to swing by the Defender subforum for some damage help though.

What is the extent of the problem? As a daily user of Excel ouro, the QoL problem seems to amount to no more than “I had to move my cursor a little to click the portal.”

The only defense hole, yes, but I thought I read that their scaling resists didn’t include psi resistance on CoD. Could be wrong. But scaling resists are not negligible to the SR equation.

I put Scrapper second moreso because you get a snipe, making the single target situation bearable. Kind of the midpoint between Stalker’s no-problems-at-all and Brute/Tanker’s everyone-take-5-while-I-kill-this-boss.

ElecM is Stalker > Scrapper > Tanker > Brute specifically 🙂
