arcane

Waiting for one of either Monos King or nihilii to call the other chicken at this point.

Since making this post, I have decided to revisit marketeering (which I usually find too tedious) and committed to making at least half a billion (hopefully a billion but it’s getting boring fast) on a character without any other gameplay. So no playing that character outside the market until this experiment is over. I have been logging into the character typically once at the beginning of my playtime and once at the end. As of last night, I was at about 350 million, having started with 5 million 5 or 6 days ago. Not horrible.

I mean 15 million to teleport bosses for a whole MSR is just pennies to a lot of the megabillionaire players here... but to someone who makes at least one new purply 50 a week, the budget is a little tight for it 😞

About the disruption of AoE teleports, immobilizes, etc... it might be an issue if the team stood to make real gains by coordination, but when the whole team is going to steamroll a +4 mob in seconds regardless of whether or not that all happens within the tank’s AoE radius? At that point, IMO it’s on the melee to stop complaining about nothing. I coordinate and use tactics when it’s needed and not when it’s clearly not (which is often).

True. But even when you make north of a million a minute, who wants to keep up with 500k a minute 😕

The only thing particularly situational about Wormhole and Fold Space is that their usefulness takes a sharp dive against level 54’s with bosses.

If you’re going to open up the Concealment pool, you might as well take all 3 of the first 3 powers unless you’re already to 5 LotG procs. Greatest concentration of LotG’s per pool in the game 😉

So to be clear, the issue is not with inspiration users (describes me) but just with users of some email trick (does not describe me)? I'm curious as to how these people send so many emails quickly enough that such a thing could become time-efficient enough to actually be OP. If you're capping all of those stats at once, sounds like more time emailing than fighting to me. What a bore.

I'm not sure how this is any more of a balance concern than IO's, incarnates, and what seems like a probably a pretty large number of other things. Would you encourage the developers to "stop people from doing exactly" those things too? And if not why not? I'm genuinely confused at why inspirations are specifically a high crime.

Yeah, it’s not that I actually think Electric Blast is as good as Fire on paper, it’s that I value variety more than the relatively negligible difference (at least negligible if you aren’t clocking your run times to the second on every little thing you’re supposedly doing for fun).

Can you please support your implication that America’s Angel’s post constitutes a problem?

I have come to the conclusion that the number of posters who don’t know the meaning of the English word “support” must be nonzero in order for this thread to exist in its current state.

Jab is probably the worst place you can put any proc. It’s tough since you don’t have a damage aura as those are great places for this. I would move it to anything but Jab though (probably not Punch either). It’s got a much lower PPM rate than MotT, too, so, keep that in mind as well. Your proc rates for this will be something like Foot Stomp (not actually high rate but AoE) > Knockout Blow > Hurl > Haymaker > Punch > Jab. And then, for whichever option you consider, off the top of my head, MotT will proc 4x as much as Gauntleted Fist. (Because from memory the PPMs are 6 and 1.5). On the bright side MotT is the better proc anyway.

I take it immediately and I’m 50 before it first runs out 🙂

Electric Blast is absolutely fine unless your goal is unconditionally to achieve the absolute best numbers at all time, regardless of what the margin over the next best thing is. Hardcore organized PvPers have to do this. Pylon time nuts have to do this. Etc. If you’re like me, and you already have several characters with Fire Blast, Ice Blast, Beam Rifle, Psionic Melee, etc... and you have given up on the PvP scene and only continue to create new characters because trying new powers is FUN? Electric Blast has zero issues in that case.

The fact that we’re having a thread with this title so soon after a thread in which a member compared supposedly marginalized support classes with the struggles of women... it’s just irony so rich and thick you want to drizzle it over pancakes. Y’all need to make up your damn minds.

I’ve never done /bind ever. I keep it simple. Though there is one macro I use from time to time.

Note you can also monitor absorb with combat attributes. You can monitor the overall attribute, or, if you look in the full combat attribute window, you can actually see the proc’s effect specifically.

Endurance would have to be the reason, yes. I like to be highly mobile in combat (kiting, escaping, setting up cones, etc.) and will always have Fly or Super Speed or their origin equivalents on. But then you still want Hover and Evasive Maneuvers on for all the in-combat benefits. I generally don’t build builds that are going to require toggles to be toggled off and on to function. Too much maintenance work I don’t care to be bothered by. There are a few exceptions like debuff toggles where that will obviously happen by default, but, otherwise, I just run ‘em all and build in the appropriate endurance fixes, whether it be procs/endurance discount/recovery in the low levels or cardiac/vigor/ageless/support in the higher levels.

Yeah I’ve been holding my tongue this whole time, trying not to get embroiled in a bout of verbal fisticuffs. But can someone remind me why a few wackos are picking the Fly pool but NOT running all three toggles now?

Make another alt! I get violent withdrawals if I haven’t made a new 50 every week or so. Foaming at the mouth, etc.

Well it has now 🙂

My two most common ones: - 3rd mission in Black Scorpion arc, the kill all. - First Unai Kemen mission (Banished Pantheon) so I can immediately get an easy farmable non-AE mission to play around in (Council Empire).

I wasn’t even aware you ever needed Invisibility. Super Speed + Stealth (or + Stealth IO) has always kept me safe unless the enemies had extra perception?

Did you try right clicking the power and “Close Tray” or whatever it says?
