I’m not sure how arbitrary it is. Seems plenty logical that you would expect above average performance from a character *specifically built for one kind of mission, one kind of damage, etc.* If I pass on my character being viable in the entire rest of the game, it seems immediately reasonable - not arbitrary - that I should get better kill speeds in return.

I don’t even know what a popmenu is. It sounds scary, like binds.

I played my Ill/TA last night and it has a buttload of these macros. It’s almost too much to handle.

I think I’d prefer you remain off the project after this little display 🙂

Who told you water was bad?

The fact that you’re asking this question tells me you don’t understand what power creep is (a big thing that happens in small increments - iow, a change being small in no way prevents it from creating power creep). Let me simplify this for you. I oppose buffs to farmers/farming because farmers/farming clearly need zero buffs. Full stop. I don’t care if you get 2 extra emp merits per hour or 20. The correct answer is zero extra emp merits per hour.

I wouldn’t worry too much about SO / generic IO advice. Now that you’ve figured out basic survival at 90% fire res, it’s only a matter of time before you move on to IO sets and replace the cheap stuff.

Fiery Embrace gives fire damage to all your attacks now.

I don’t have mids but hang in there and don’t give up - a good moneymaker will solve a lot of your frustrations with this game 🙂

A person can both farm and oppose power creep.

You can get 45% fire def with only IO set bonuses.

Get temperature protection until you have IO’s so you can be at 90% res. 45% comes from IO set bonuses primarily. Some people get some defense toggles in the mix too there, but you’ll need bonuses either way.

Seems like this is one big nonissue now that the one poster with a giant chip on their shoulder has stepped out of the room.

You absolutely don’t need 45% fire defense to farm. You only need 45% fire defense to farm completely AFK. None of my farmers take healing flames because it’s useless to a fully kitted out fire farmer (except as a set bonus mule), but if you do use it whenever it’s up, you can easily make a very cheap build work vs +4x8.

My Traps/AR who has been gutted and later reslotted and still kinda sorta blows cuz AR... feels this feel

Was there a point at which Faraday was stackable?

Irradiated Ground is currently broken and extremely OP with procs. They’re aware of it though, so I wouldn’t expect it to be this way forever. Shield/Rad would be a fantastic combo.

This. If I was focused solely on making the most money, I would marketeer. The only reason I farm is because marketeering bores me to tears. I once managed to make a billion marketeering, but I was screaming internally the whole time. Even if marketeering wasn’t so clearly superior to farming for making money, there are other activities I would also do if the rewards were my sole focus. More hami raids and more WST’s, for instance. As someone that farms so much, I frankly consider myself a relatively slow reward earner.

Sappers are not dangerous. Punch them in the face 🙂

Both of my SR tankers are proc monsters with Vigor Alpha. Since SR needs less slotting investment than any other primary to get invincible, lots of room to tack on procs for offense. Many attacks with 4-6 procs. So both have wound up feeling pretty good on damage. My Ice/Staff’s damage is definitely worse, yeah.

You posted in the incorrect subforum if you don’t want to deal with disagreement.

I’m for proliferation of min-FX options, but this sounds like what they should be doing in the meantime. Their computer is clearly a potato and these things happen 😕

Captioned “ACKSHUALLY my boobs thread was atypically informative”

Yeah not sure why you need it to taunt but it’s a great power for AoE damage/procs.

Yes. Tanker inherent boosts radius, not range.
