Dual Pistols is a blast set, not an assault set

I think we can all quit pretending to have any clue what the OP was even talking about.

The status res is not unique but the regen is.

You don’t really need a tanker for 4*, just any taunter that can grab aggro and move important AV’s around the battlefield, like Hero 1 or Dra’gon. All their res/def can come from Barrier and they’ll be fine. A heal or absorb shield helps though.

I am struggling with this right now. I’ve stripped most of my characters of defense and resistance, but I’m too afraid to do it on my Tankers. I have gotten away from the Fighting pool on said Tankers, but I’m still clinging to my unique res/def procs and my ATO set bonuses on those toons.

Good luck getting anything but debt without a very special league. Most leagues ignore the mobs and hunt fogs.

I think they’ll say like “page 5 ready” in the title oftentimes. Can someone else confirm? Either that or ask around for map recs. I use America’s Angel’s for the meteor.

The aggro changes and the Fire Sword changes are the ones you need to consider. The Fire Sword changes are easily countered by picking a map without Fire Swords. The aggro changes will impact you in maps like the meteor map where you’re surrounded by well over the aggro cap. You need more regeneration on your farmer than you used to to counter this. 45% fire defense is no longer going to cut it. My Spines/Fire AFK build has ~300% +regen and 3 power transfer procs, on top of the usual 90% res / 45% def.

You just want as much DDR as your secondary powerset allows when slotted. Pretty simple.

Stop making alt accounts, KingCeddd. It’s not happening.

Good thread. Not sure if I have that Snow Man or the Mini-VAS. Also still working on Benefactor.

Crippling dopamine addiction mostly

I could get on board with a modest duration increase, but I can’t get on board with turning single targets into AoE’s for reasons others have already covered well.

They aren’t impossible though; you just refuse to adapt your playstyle. This would be genuinely impossible for some players. Big diff.

Yeah it needs to be.

I think you need to specify what content you’re interested in. My 4* ready builds are a complete 180 from how I built things before 4* came out.

Sounds like a skill issue tbh

this got spicy

Does Savage Leap have this issue? If not, can the power just work like Savage Leap? Seems like the closest comparison I can think of.

Your post implies the game is too difficult when the opposite is closer to the truth. So, no, can’t agree with you here.

Everything they said plus Sun/Moon is not very far removed from Luminous/Umbral…

Nope it cannot be

*facepalm*

That would mean you don’t slot procs in Freeze Ray or Bitter Ice Blast, which I don’t believe from an experienced player?

Of course a single Aether is going to be worth more than a single Reward Merit, but as far as comparing 8 Aethers to 80 Merits, Vanden has it right. I don’t see any utility that Reward Merits have that Prismatics don’t outside of fringe cases (like needing Merits specifically to purchase Mini Tyrant from Luna). As far as the utility of turning them into Converters or Boosters or IO’s or whatever, you can of course achieve the same thing by selling your Aethers on the market and then purchasing said Converters/Boosters/etc. Although you’ll probably lose a small percentage of the overall value in the Auction House process.
