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.

I mean the devs couldn’t really listen to feedback in that case considering typical feedback was requesting ridiculously overpowered things like just having 1-second ET all the time.

It’s extremely easy to tell that the system goes from the bottom up because (1) one look at the ingredients required shows that lower tier powers are pre-requisites for higher tier ones and (2) the higher tier powers clearly have superior effects. This narrative that the system is too inaccessible is wild. Ask for 2 minutes of help in game if you need to and boom, done.

I like what you did here.

Yeah… I did pylon testing back when it meant testing the S/T DPS *of your PvE build*. Zero interest in whatever nonsense is being done with builds like AA’s.

This thread makes me kinda want an Arse/ troller. Controllers are usually more free to proc bomb their primaries than Dominators. My dom only has the S/T hold proc bombed I think.

I haven’t had any characters built for pylon killing in a long time now (basically since 4* ITF came out and replaced the Ageless meta with the Barrier meta), but you’ll be the first to know if I get back into it. Or I can refer you to some of my entries in the Pylon Damage thread Ratch just linked.

Agree - the only info about Incarnates that you can’t get in game is obscure details like how much damage Interface procs do. The crafting process and what each power does is very well detailed in game.

Minimal FX doesn’t always mean No FX in this game. See also Ice Armor or Stone Armor.

There’s a button to convert shards to threads…

Yeah I like my Arse^2 Dom but this “Arsenal has good damage” bit had me like “wat”. It’s definitely most comparable to Earth Control.

Feel free to tell me which part isn’t 100% factual if you like, but more importantly I’d love your take on why I should care. Videra, Shin, and Sai have attacked and insulted me more times than I can count, so it doesn’t surprise me to hear that I slipped up on that front in response.

People aren’t posting in bad faith because they disagree with you. Calm down.

Why did you just give examples of the devs listening to but not integrating feedback (Rune of Protection, etc) if you don’t want me to think you’re conflating it with completely ignoring feedback? I’m not jumping through any hoops - I’m reading the words in your post.

I recognize that you are incapable of tolerating disagreement.

I’ve never seen someone so bad at ignoring someone. You talk about me constantly. No one is being disruptive or starting fights. We’re disagreeing with you. I know you’re used to “my way or the highway” but this is what we call disagreement.

Obviously the devs did the right thing by buffing Council and CoT. For years we have all been open about Council being a complete joke and basically free xp at +4x8. Now that they’re mildly annoying to fight, everyone is conveniently developing amnesia about the previous state of things.

A good point backed up by history. I too have observed that people demand answers so they can have something new to attack, not so they can come to terms with the devs’ approach. So it tends to strike me as very bad faith.

Over and over in this post you conflate whether or not the devs listened to feedback with whether or not the devs chose to integrate said feedback. The two are not the same. And I sure hope you aren’t implying that you or the OP or the OP’s favorite poster are any more neutral than I am here. Because that would be laughable.
