That’s what I read too. It was based on his own arbitrarily defined concepts of balance and equity and nothing more.

Will these likes come with dislikes

I provided nothing but hard facts in my first reply to this thread. “This change sucks” on the other hand, is a tad bit less supported.

I see an awful lot of nonsensical opinions, and, in the middle of all of that, the only genuine problem I’m able to detect in any of this is that some people are extremely upset about Afterburner losing toggle status. Everything else seems completely unsupported. Oh and yes to a better Group Fly / Team Teleport fix if that wasn’t obvious. I don’t know who in their right mind would go near those two powers.

If you want an all-encompassing “rule”, that’d be the wiki link above. If you’re not a loser mac user like me though, you don’t have to use formulas; it’s just built into your shiny mids. Note that a fraction of your Alpha incarnate is applied before ED formulas, and a fraction is applied after.

Probably also sold them some of that volcano insurance

Do you really need solar panels when some of your citizens can produce electricity or atomic energy with their hands?

Fond memories of making the leaderboards running Dreck maps during summer break, alongside all the Fire tankers, with my Spines/Dark scrapper 🙂

Umm, Hover has defense and flight control and Fly has flight speed. How is this NOT an improvement?

But some people want both toggles on at once so maybe just turn a toggle off manually?

This has it’s pros and cons, but I just take Ageless Core without hesitation if I have to. This leaves me with small issues, like how my Shield/EM’s health bar moves a little more than yours, but it’s just a lot easier than worrying about endurance. Either that, or a lot of my proc monsters take Vigor Core. I’m just an aggressive/reckless player and only have Barrier/Rebirth/Clarion after end is clearly established as a non-issue. Oh, and if I don’t have Ageless Core, I slot recovery powers more than most people because I can’t stand endurance problems. 2 Performance Shifter / 2 Power Transfer (+95.9% plus two procs) is normal for me for Stamina, Quick Recovery, Blaster sustains. Though a large chunk of fliers would be Blasters who can handle their end just fine.

I thought we were talking about Hover sorry. This change made Fly more than an LotG mule pool to me. If I pick the pool now, it’s all three toggles on all the time. Nice to have Hover’s defense feel usable (I don’t slow myself down for nobody).

I didn’t cave on account 2 until after 30-something 50’s. There’s still time 😉

Kindly go to hell, love ❤️

Man, I used to regard PvP IO’s and sometimes Purples as plain and simple out of reach stuff for the Bill Gateses and Jeff Bezoses of Paragon City. LotG’s were as expensive as I would even bother with. Now I have at least ~70+ of my level 50’s all purpled to the teeth. Yep, *nothing* is expensive in HC, put in relative terms.

Aid Self now gives you endurance if you have Field Medic.

Good thing the defense is usable in combat so this sniper red herring is irrelevant.

So still within the rules: a build with no AoE’s and bad mitigation. There would be a point at which, the better the pylon time, the worse the build is at the rest of the game. Some test I guess.

Just asking because I could totally see someone setting up something impressive proc bombing Fossilize, Infrigidate, Seismic Smash, etc... but it’d be nice to know people are answering the request in good faith and actually making playable builds that don’t skimp on mitigation, AoE power, etc.

Don’t you pylon guys feel the need for an additional guideline like “Must be build for general gameplay as opposed to being built exclusively for a pylon test”? Or is that assumed across the board already? Because obviously anyone can load up a few S/T attacks with procs, but I imagine the point is to achieve something good within a generally usable build.

I think permanent pets being designated as a special treat for controllers and dominators and masterminds is just fine tbh

Fire Cubed Blaster with capped Fire Res and Fire Def is my blaster farmer. I don’t recommend soft capping S/L def or ranged def for farming. S/L def capped blasters tend to get there with Scorpion Shield or Frozen Armor, which means lower resistance than a fire capped character. Ranged defense means you’re stuck hover blasting, and that will never be as fast as being right in melee.

I’m not running around with nothing. What I meant is that I powerlevel my character myself. I don’t switch over from farmer to actually playing the new alt is at least 50+1 and at least mostly slotted IO’s.

I don’t slot characters until they’re 50+1, yeah. But I’m done arguing fwiw. I was merely explaining with DPE why I thought the endurance penalty probably existed. Change or don’t change though, I doubt those attack powers are consequential enough to shift balance meaningfully either way. Have a good one 🙂

Point taken. Don’t know what I was thinking. Maybe I’m just capping it with Ageless. Yeah sure to original suggestion. Signed.
