Naturally the inclusion of Hail of Bullets is rather laughable, but it’d be easy enough to sub Bullet Rain in there.

Staff sucks too so…

Pet users need to be comfortable dismissing pets when it’s appropriate. This sounds like one such occasion.

You don’t have to be rich to buy Aethers. A full mini mode / effect at 250 Aethers costs less than a completed IO build.

It’s a blast set, not an assault set.

I really thought you only started threads. Good to know you can reply too 🙂

The truth is the middleground. The game is easy but not that easy. To say nothing in the game requires skill is just asinine.

Talk about being out of touch with reality. Most noobs can’t dream of 500 DPS in this game, and most pugs can’t dream of completing the hardest content in the game. OFC you’ve made this argument many times before - that anything short of Dark Souls has no skill spectrum. It was wrong then and it’s wrong now.

Range is arguably overrated. Top tier players usually hang out closer to melee regardless of AT because that’s where Transfusion, Fulcrum Shift, Wild Bastion, etc are going off.

Hard Mode also isn’t a very good measure of an armor set, considering the meta taunter is a Scrapper with minimal defense and resistance investment…

Yeah I still farm with a Spines/Fire brute cuz I’m invested in the vet levels.

I didn’t know anyone killed the blue and red towers.

Rad Armor is Lord Recluse easy mode.

No, I don’t remember. I smoke weed between our talks. Calm thine tits.

No, I genuinely can’t figure out what will make some happy beyond the non-starter of just getting everything they want and nothing they don’t want.

Can you give an example of what a desired “roadmap” would look like? Use the last page as an example. In my experience, the only people that have been attacked on this topic are those that are obviously asking for explanations in bad faith (aka, demanding explanations so you have another narrative to viciously attack when the page doesn’t give you everything you want, not so you can come to terms with devs’ approach). For example, there were many demands that the devs provide rationale for Arsenal Control not having Web Envelope. These were clearly in bad faith because the explanations didn’t put anything to rest; the people making the demands just wanted to stir up hell in the feedback threads and their demands for explanations were just demands for argumentative ammo.

Unfortunately there are people on the discord that I steer clear of. So, not an option.

This is not remotely true unless you abuse temp powers and accolades (which we know you do), count pet DPS on pylons that don’t fight back, etc. 700+ DPS is absolutely *upper* tier DPS under normal circumstances, even for Scrappers or Blasters. I can absolutely guarantee that you cannot take a mid-tier primary/secondary pick and get that much DPS under a reasonable set of basic rules. And if a Kheldian with 85% resistance can get to that level, it’s broken and in need of fixing.

You have to factor in the fact that one of Lauci’s data points is reliant on abusing a cheesy exploit/glitch that is way overdue for fixing. Comparing a human form to a changeling macro abuser is not the same as comparing a human form to a tri-form. In a balanced world where obscene bugs are actually taken care of by non-negligent developers, no Kheldian should ever approach 700+ DPS given they nearly have Tanker-level mitigation. EDIT: Oh hey @PeregrineFalcon I disagree with the devs on something. Them leaving the changeling glitch in the game for this long amounts to malpractice. Thought you ought to witness this.

I dunno; I’ve been kicked from multiple MSR’s in the past for participating then going to the bathroom. Back when I was on Indom years ago where the nightly leader was a real stick in the mud.

There are certain folks on this forum that you’re not allowed to disagree with, and you woke them up.

It works very well in Trip Mine. Give it a test if you feel like it.

I think it’s possible for intelligent people to occasionally struggle with something that is extremely easy and intuitive. Call it a brain fart. I have them too, I meant no disrespect.

It’s not a snipe. It just has an incorrect icon.

(1) I don’t see what’s so special about anchor powers needing time to activate. Lots of powers need time to activate. (2) These powers are strong enough (3) To the extent (2) isn’t true for any one power, activation time buffs would do the trick - no need for over-engineering. Sorry I don’t get it.
