arcane

There’s zero reason this needs to be a null option; it should work as a simple costume option since it’s solely cosmetic and does nothing to how the power functions. Signed, as a costume option 😉

Fixed slightly 🙂

Well yes and no. You can plug those holes completely with IO’s if you really want to. Though the caveat is I often neglect to plug a hole in favor of more damage. I guess you can’t plug absolutely everything though. My Dark tanks can only access so much DDR from Ageless Radial, which I wouldn’t get to begin with on toons built to be hooked on Ageless Core.

This option pls.

My first stop is my iTunes library

You’re correct it’s a bug. However, I’m using the more informal definition of nerf - that is, the removal of any shiny toy, no matter how obviously justified - because that’s the definition most forum posters seem to react to.

I’d rather it be a bit punishing though because a buff primarily beneficial to vet levels 100+ is a buff primarily beneficial to farmers, and, as a daily farmer with several 100+’s... I can assure you we’re doing just fine in the grand scheme of things. Maybe when they nerf Burn’s proc rate I’ll get a little frustrated or something, but right now we’re already living on easy street.

We already know for a fact that empyreans are worth more than 20 threads. You can get a rare incarnate component for 8 emp merits, or for 4 uncommons, 100 more threads, and a sizable inf fee. In other words, they would be undercutting their own existing system if the conversion rate was any less than.. (60*4+100)/8 plus more to account for the inf fee. Any ratio more favorable than 50 to 1 would be broken.

I don’t understand the problem. Can you not open Mids and CoH at the same time? (I don’t have Mids, srs question)

Yes, that’s exactly what we have here. I keep telling the OP to wait and see before continuing to pass more judgements on how the game works without having a clue what the endgame feels like.

Ok let’s try a different direction: Will you support “Looking For Group” only allowing farm team recruiting, and the creation of a new channel with a different name for all the people who want to find a group of a different type?

shit take tbh bro I would create a thread asking for MSR attendants, lowbie task force leaders, etc to be segregated away from the rest of the community, but I don’t because I don’t have a problem sharing the game’s chat channel space. Do you see how that works?

I think you’re speaking too soon, Diantane. Once you experience fully kitted out IO builds, I think you’ll see that nothing in the game demands a tanker so tough that he couldn’t make room to slot any attacks. The best builds are the ones that do both primary and secondary roles well. I’m excited for you to figure out IO’s and Incarnates as they’re obviously a missing ingredient behind most of your forum threads, waiting to be experienced.

Put most of those in autos or toggles. Preventive Medicine is the exception here. You can put it in a power you never use (Experimental Injection or Spirit Ward are good examples) and it will still proc as if it was in Health or whatever.

Lolwut No vote from me. You have to share LFG with everyone, not just people who play the way you want them to.

For each attack in the chain, you just add up the arcanatimes of all other attacks in the chain, calculate recharge necessary for each attack to refresh in its corresponding required time limit, and the highest recharge buff required is your answer.

Yeah you’re a real kook 🙂 My Elec/Dark feels pretty meh, but I played my DP/SR for the first time in awhile last night - and damn. Pretty nice toon. Has Vigor Alpha, 6 procs in Bullet Rain, Executioner’s Shot, and Dominate. 5 procs in Psychic Shockwave. 2 in Mind Probe, and ATO sets in T1 and T9. Those procs cover all purple damage procs, all -res procs, and force feedback, so pretty broad coverage. Sure seems to both shred mobs and be sturdy af to me. Were it not for the target caps and build up, I’d be damn near comfortable calling it Blaster level damage.

CoD is pretty well up to date. It even has powersets that haven’t been released quite yet. You can do this calculation manually with ease using CoD; all Bill’s idea would require is for CoD’s recharge times and Arcanatimes to be accessible to some calculator tool.

My best guess is, based on how Snark slots Blasters, he’s probably slotting Sentinels in a highly suboptimal way.

100% and 1 are the same thing mathematically

I think you’re going to be much happier with your experience once you (1) get your first IO build going and, to a lesser extent, (2) get more comfortable with inspirations. Both are powerful tools that can offset your AT’s weaknesses. For instance, Blasters need break frees and a smidge of defense. Sentinels are dying for damage procs. PM me you global chat handle if you would like to ask questions more in game 🙂

Game does not need it’s defaults switched to the opposite 17 years after we’ve gotten used to it. And then your annoying post format just made it 100x easier to justify blunt disagreement 🙂

No.

Yeah I think you need to get over the existence of different playstyles. I am not saying your binds are too much for me to wrap my head around. I’m saying I don’t want them.

Also can we not compare under-the-hood adjustments to the base game to simply learning how to play the base game. Kind of not even similar.
