Yeah I was just musing out loud with a little hint of mourning for dozens of proc monsters. Balance is good - move along people.

Could we maybe just choose procs over balance tho? 🙂 People will make several of every AT eventually anyway.

I have never noticed anything of the sort across 5 /fire brutes with a total of >2K vet levels between them.

Your thread appeared to be interested in bringing greater parity to Seeds of Confusion vs Mass Confusion recharges. There’s two ways to do that.

Eh, they could still balance Seeds recharge and we’d be fine. Carrion Creepers still being insanely powerful, for starters. I basically agree with you that Seeds could afford to be less stupidly OP.

Working as intended. This is why you can 6-slot a power picked at level 49 if you just respec.

So Emilio Estevez is behind the infected huh. He must be stopped!

Yes, if you ever want to see the 4.5 you don’t slot it. If you want to be able to open with a high DPA s/t attack you slot it.

I’m trying to get back to the gym, but I don’t like my chances against that level 1 hellion minion.

Idk. If there’s one thing that offends me it’s the perpetually offended.

Do you think players should actually expect to be banned if they mention smoking a joint?

I’m aware. And like I said I’m fine with most of it. I say most because there are a couple items there that no one cares about / reports / enforces.

I don’t have a problem with most of the stuff Blackbird posted, for instance. But I am naturally skeptical of alleged offensiveness these days considering some of the things that tiny minorities of people have decided to find offensive in the last 5 years (and considering how much defamation is mainstream). So my inclination is unfortunately to disbelieve the offended without receipts. Not that you have to give details if you don’t want to, but if not I’m afraid I can’t back you up.

We have no indication at this point that any rules were broken.

Can we get a definition of poor tastes pls

You can now maintain mez protection and a full range of movement speed by just running Rooted but not Granite Armor. So that’s all you have to do if you want to move quickly as a Stone Armor.

Corrosive Enzymes, Wild Growth, Wild Bastion, and Overgrowth are all never-skip status. Skip other ones if you need to.

It might just be that people are primarily favoring corruptors for team pvp where vigilance is no longer leveling the playing field at all.

Corruptors are, on average, definitely regarded as more useful than Defenders in PvP. Be nice if someone could comment on that and why.

But that’d literally be an inevitable feature of randomness... gonna need more than a tiny handful presenting highly limited anecdotes.

I’m not aware of that because it sounds false (slash unsupported at best).

When I put 6 procs in Irradiated Ground on my Bio/Rad tanker, it was immediately crystal clear I had messed up on my Rad/Fire brute build. I’d say that’s the big difference maker between Rad/ vs Spines/, BUT also the feature most likely to be nerfed. So having Spines/ on standby is still likely to win one day.

Playing devil’s advocate here: they currently ARE exclusive because of the fun nazis and 9/11.

Why not give all melee AT’s scrapper damage modifiers, tanker mitigation modifiers, and stalker controlled crits? It’s a straight buff. Do you review your own thoughts before posting?

I don’t think you understand what the “creep” portion of “power creep” means. It refers to something that becomes a problem incrementally, not some overnight implosion of a game. So this is a straw man. Creep is also an engineering term describing how a structure fails due to very gradual deflection over a long period of time. You also mentioned giving Defenders Scourge etc, so acting like I was only criticizing the multipliers proposal is called moving the goalposts. All around shoddy performance tbh.
