I apologize for briefly forgetting that battlewraith is a forum troll not bound by logic or reason. I need to do better and stop responding to his nonsensical bait.

Yeah “don’t like it, simply opt out” is not the design approach of any competent creator ever sorry.

Cheapening the teleport pool seems wrong but maybe if it comes with a high recharge or something.

If you think SR needs a buff in the end game I have no qualms just assuming you suck at SR. You really only had an argument with this mid-game stuff, but since you obviously think it needs a buff at 50 as well, I unfortunately cannot consider you credible 😕 Sorry

You said SR’s problem was mid-game performance. I said ok let’s just say I believe you. Now, to fix your problem, do something that will boost its mid-game performance BUT NOT its endgame performance (because everyone here knows SR is strong enough endgame). The only change that could possibly relieve your mid-game problem, while also NOT buffing a top tier endgame powerset, is reordering the powers. You don’t get to say only the mid-game is the problem so let’s buff the already-overpowered endgame. So all of your other proposals can be immediately ruled out for not being appropriately targeted at the only actual problem area.

KB->KD is extremely powerful for one single enhancement slot. No way should you get to do that effect for free. Many powers radically transform under the effect - Bonfire, Tornado, etc.

If SR is truly suffering mid-game (I'll take your word for it) but obviously not suffering late-game (simple fact), the only logical solution is to re-order powers and leave everything else the same. Further buffs will impact the late-game and SR shouldn't get any stronger late-game.

Creep is also an engineering term for when something deflects or fails very slowly and incrementally over time. 🙂

Mules = more slots for the rest = factually power creep

The suggestion is nice, but, its expected result… I don’t think giving every OP meta build in the game extra power picks (even mules add power) at this point in the game’s life makes a lot of sense.

Is there a sincere question or comment here? Usually meaningful discussion isn’t kicked off with insults. I will consider responding to you if you can reformulate your post in such a way that demonstrates that you are capable of a civil discussion. Thanks.

What is this thread even

Same deal, new toon Five runs on Ill/Cold/Mako Troller T4 Musc Core / Degen Core / Pyronic Core / Ageless Core / Assault Radial Had Offense, Defense, and Survival Amplifiers 1:21 1:18 1:17 1:08 1:08 Average 1:14

Medicine isn’t that bad right now. Aid Other as Preventive Medicine mule, and then Aid Self + Field Medic is quite powerful. I think a lot more people would pick it up as is if not for crippling LotG addictions.

Cannot view mids builds, you should post the text of the build

Agree with Voltak’s picks. The normal stuff doesn’t work the same in 801’s etc. I’ve been crushed in those on Time Defs. Can’t play the same old defense/recharge/damage meta in actual hard content.

I too would like a Regen tank 😞

Trying to imagine what’s left of Traps when you only take mobile stuff… why would you even play that at all, that’s like 2-3 powers and skips all the best ones.

I enjoy Relentless just fine, but have yet to successfully get the accolade badge 😞 I only find the accolade and Ripplesurge to be the worst. Most of the TF is not too bad on hard mode.

My level 50 poisons are: /dark def /ice def /dp def ice/ corr grav/ troller elec/ troller My Poison/Dark is my #2 main toon and will always be my favorite Poison, but, that being said, I picked a couple of these combos when I still PvP’d, and I would agree with generally prioritizing something with multiple real AoE’s over cones, like /fire, /rad, or /elec. Not that there’s anything wrong with Targeted AoE but something with PBAoE like /rad or /elec is really maximizing that synergy factor. For general play that will be most impressive. But you can also solo AV’s and stuff in which case my Poison/Dark is very good at that 🙂 Water would also be a nice option if you can’t pick between AoE’s of other sets and Dark’s self heal - Water getting both.

Have you thought of running one with Ageless Radial instead of Barrier Core to compare? It’s a hard choice on Regen imo.

Making soloing ITF without inspirations or even effort your baseline was bound to be limiting some day 🙂

My regen is ice/regen/soul brute with speed/leap/fight/leadership, no Darkest Night. But I want to make that regen scrapper with RoP/Shadow Meld abuse. And I’m seriously considering fire because, although I have all melee sets at level 50, fire is the only melee set I don’t have on a non-/fire brute. But maybe 2 low end sets at once is not the way, for now. Will maybe work on a build this afternoon. Why no LotG in MoG? Interesting just skipping GFS entirely… I feel like I would want as a Scrapper for the higher proc rate on critical strikes but not sure. No double performance shifters makes my heart hurt but if your end is fine.. Will maybe look more when home 🙂

Seems too OP unless most of these are super long recharge / low uptime. What stats were you thinking for each power? Looks like a lot of 600 second recharge powers as far as how pool powers tend to be balanced.

Never been able to get mids to work on my macbook. I have spreadsheets 🙂 Smite->Midnight Grasp->Gloom->Moonbeam.
