Hard no on the majority of these. Some of you guys have zero problem with even more ridiculous power creep I see...

This guy gets it ❤️

I voted no. Some of the least popular powers in the game are integral to certain builds. See Sonic Cage, Detention Field, or Confront in PvP builds for example. And doesn’t anyone else ever appreciate having more room for pool powers? A wide open build in terms of power choices is a godsend.

Also doesn’t mention defender paralytic poison but I believe someone here told me that was fixed too.

Any status update here as far as making a Mac version that people without IT degrees can use? Much of our PvP community absolutely refuses to post build text as opposed to just build files and data chunks, which is extremely frustrating...

Thanks for the helpful responses on all counts, mac

I know you have way more experience than me, but is it really as bad as you say? You've still got the -Special in the first place, albeit un-boosted, and your power boost can still do good things for your other debuffs and mezzing, no? I also haven't done any 8v8's since live and have predominantly only done 1v1's and 2v2's on homecoming so far, so perhaps that's the difference maker? I've been working on incarnates for my own Grav/Poison/Primal though, so I'd like to hear more of your thoughts. I would also assume this doesn't really affect your opinion of, say, Ice/Poison corruptors nearly as much, right? Poison's one of my favorite sets since my other favorites (Storm, Cold) all got wrecked by slow changes and offensive toggles dropping. Have a Poison/Dark and a Grav/Poison and eventually want an Ice/Poison corruptor too.

Two questions so far from reading this thread on my phone. First of all, does PPM for damage proc IO’s have a separate formula for pvp too or is that just a powers thing? Second, I don’t see Defender Paralytic Poison here. Do I get to keep my 4 second hold? 🙂

Awesome, thanks for the info. Didn't notice Spore Cloud's animation time. Definitely glad to rule out some power choices, as it looks like a tight build so far...

So, to preface this question, I need to say that I use a Mac and thus have yet to have any luck porting any sort of Pines/Mids software successfully. Therefore, a lot of the resources on, say, the official discord, are useless to me in instances where people are just linking data chunks. I've pretty much had to build exclusively from forum comments, in game data, etc. I am leveling a Nature/Ice defender and was curious which Nature power choices are standard for the current meta? I am likely to do both arena and zone, but more arena than zone. My current assumptions are that you would definitely want Corrosive Enzymes, Regrowth, Wild Growth, Spore Cloud, Wild Bastion, and Overgrowth and definitely NOT want Rebirth or Entangling Aura. And I'm totally on the fence about Lifegiving Spores. Thoughts? Any comments on typical nature playstyle/role/etc. welcome as well.

vinnie, you being someone with a lot of experience here, maybe you could take a stab at this yourself? And perhaps an arena-oriented version too? I'm curious as to what inaccuracies you'd point out.

Been trying to figure this out all evening. Managed to install brew and wine. But then I click play in Island Rum, it says "Launching" for about 5 seconds, and then goes back to "Ready To Play" and nothing happens. I feel like I've tried everything over the last three hours. Probably just not going to be able to play this weekend at this rate.

I was Rikti Commando and a few dozen others. I was also a child for the majority of the old game’s life, so I expect memories of me are not all positive. P.S. Hi Psy :)
