Why would anyone need binds or macros to use insps. Try your left mouse button FFS 🙂 (and right mouse button -> C -> 1-8 to combine). As DreadShinobi said: as fundamental to gameplay as enhancements, introduced in the tutorial.

The game has basically become far too easy and speedy for such tactics to be necessary. I can’t speak for lowbie content, but, in the endgame, if immobilizes are slowing you down... it’s not the immobilize’s fault. Every level 50 team should be shredding 54 mobs like they’re nothing, even if one particular player isn’t able to hit every baddie with his AoE’s. If someone complains about controls on a level 50 team, best thing to do is look at all the enemy bodies that just instantaneously fell dead and shrug.

I think we can immediately rule out that coming from someone who doesn’t think this game’s hardest content can be done without Frozen Armor or Scorpion Shield.

It’s impossible that I’m wrong in this case because res shields do work. If they didn’t, dozens of my toons wouldn’t function, and that clearly isn’t the case. I guess that makes you wrong 😄 And yes, number of 50’s is irrelevant. But considering you’re claiming something doesn’t work that I’ve made work countless times, it seemed like pertinent data at the time.

So an SR tanker 🙂

Yep. DoT exists. It’s not a problem.

Ok but Infiltration and Combat Jumping absolutely stack...

I’ve established that APP/PPP res shields work more or less as well as def shields after my first 88 level 50’s on HC, so let’s remember to tag our opinions as opinions 😉

Everything but the animation is great. It has a high proc rate and can slot Force Feedback, Annihilation, and up to 4 damage procs. That doesn’t sound bad to me. I use it on blasters that need extra pure AoE’s, like my Dark blaster.

Not making me shelf, but Staff’s Breakdance PBAoE attack kept me from making a character with the set for a long time.

Lol no

Infiltration is a good power; only the nubs will disagree 🙂

I don’t think comments like this come from a place of understanding the term “power creep”. Creep specifically refers to slow and incremental change in one general direction. A change isn’t power creep because it’s game breaking; changes create power creep when people ask “it’s just a small buff, why not?” hundreds of times.

And you made an awful lot of sacrifices in the process.

Would this animation change come with Clear Mind now doing fire damage to your allies? Sign me up if so.

The fact that he mentions radios multiple times does support the possibility that he’s not availing himself of all the options. Also, AE has very specific penalties since it’s so easy to game a system you can design yourself. So it makes sense that moving player creations into the city would be a hard no from a balance perspective.

Depends on the power I guess. I keep SS on always, Fly on except for end-unrelated tactical reasons, and usually SJ off.

Are you implying some people detoggle travel powers in combat? o:

It’s there to give you a survival bump in a pinch. Neither powers nor procs need to go off every 10 seconds to be useful.

Countless times and still think there are a few leaders that are over the top and just plain not fun to play with. Will not do MSR at all on certain servers any more.

I think it’s reasonable that they don’t want inherent junk muling several powerful IO’s. Letting people slot Preventive Medicine in Rest and Blessing of the Zephyr in Sprint/Swift/Hurdle would be akin to giving nearly every character a handful of additional free slots. Considering that would constitute a power creep solution in search of a non-existent problem, I’d prefer the status quo.

(1) Unused assets is a somewhat likely assumption but nevertheless an assumption. Will you and others step up, be honest, stop beating around the bush, and plainly state “I do want to see *some* names ‘stolen’ from players that will return if it means access to the genuinely unused assets.” (2) The “limit” on names is almost incomprehensibly large. We’ll still be working on claiming the first 1% of possible names for a long time, in fact.

Everyone needs endurance reduction. Only work in endmod if thebasics are covered. And even then, I’d rather do acc/dam/endred/procs (elec procs can do some fun things in particular!).

All of the EAT’s are down there for a perfectly legitimate reason completely unrelated to balance. You need a grand total of one of each EAT to experience everything possible within that EAT. You need hundreds of other AT’s to do the same. If you broke this down to powerset combos instead of AT, EATs would actually be at the top of the list, but again, that would mean absolutely nothing relevant to balance. TL;DR graph literally does not support your point.
