arcane

I just slot it two recharge IO’s to optimize its use as my big bad -regen power when soloing AV’s on Ill/Dark. No dead dudes needed.

Is something actually wrong with Exploding Shuriken or do people just not like that its AoE component is weak? I like it as my non-snipe heavy blast on my Earth/Martial/Fire…

Sure but it’s more of a bug fix than a buff since it’s been thoroughly proven by the numbers that Envenomed Blades toxic proc is currently total trash compared to every other set’s damage buff.

They just need to fix the toxic damage proc to be more potent and the set will be fine.

No convo needed. StJ is fine 🙂

Hallucinogens and video games are stressful together lol

I think the electric lettuce is covered implicitly

Having a single target focus =/= set is bad. Get Fire Ball or Dark Obliteration or Ball Lightning if you’re struggling with StJ.

So you’re purposefully playing a very bad defender. Playable in this easy meta? Obviously yes - that shouldn’t impress anyone. Making the contribution you could if not for your own RP reasons? Nope, you’re not - don’t sugar coat it 🙂

Looks like a @Snarky build so maybe he can weigh in. He is famous for maxing out ranged defense while being completely allergic to procs 🙂 Too far removed from how I’d build it for my input to be useful to you.

Sounds fast AF for no Assault and for being non-/Bio or non-/Rad. I guess -res procs firing at the broken proc rate in Irradiated Ground completely mitigate the latter part? My newish Kat/EnA is on the shortlist to test once its non-Lore Incarnates are done 🙂

The analyses in question seems to only highlight that Punch has T1 damage and Jab has even less and Hurl and Hand Clap are meh - the fact that Haymaker, Knockout Blow, and Foot Stomp are perfectly well balanced (and are just about all you ever really need) tends to get conveniently shoved under the rug. I have zero problems believing an SS could function just fine without Rage if absolutely necessary to sate RP concerns like those of the local vampyr. Of course you’re missing out IMO but oh well.

I typically pick Psy for anything that cares about the single target attack chain for Dominate with 1 Acc/Dam 5 Damage Procs. Yeah, large amounts of -regen appear to equate to high DPS.

Five runs on new toon Fire/Thermal/Psy Corruptor T4 Musculature Core / Degen Core / Pyronic Core / Ageless Core / Assault Radial Had Offense, Defense, and Survival Amplifiers 1:39 1:41 1:43 1:28 1:23 Average 1:34

It could still fit 6 procs easily firing at 90% proc rates if they gave it the Total Focus treatment. Super fun power when it hits, but once cast times pass 3 seconds on damage powers, the corpse blasting potential deters you from using it in regular fights 😕

No that’s definitely not true

Fire Melee’s issues are NOT comparable to Kinetic Melee’s level of badness.

Yeah “jerk”, “troll”, “idiot” - not helping me see your side. I raise my own bids sometimes because I need the purchases to go through. Sometimes someone else wants their purchases to go through just as badly and I get boxed out so I raise my bids again. Point is, put a few buy-it-nao guys like me in a room and I just don’t see how we can rule out the possibility that this is one big accident. My bids are still high because I still need the salvage. This doesn’t make me or anyone else an idiot or an abuser or a dick. Though other aspects of my personality may.

Honestly if they just added DDR to FF all over the place that might be enough for me. Good DDR is the shit.

Obviously - thread is full of them

Huh? I never denied prices were moving and that people making high bids would contribute to that. Maybe if you can’t prove motivation you shouldn’t be accusing people of bad motivations like that?

The fact that people are willing to call each other dicks over someone paying a nickel for what’s worth a penny is where I take issue with this thread. You can earn said nickel faster than you can even type dick in this game.

People in this thread haven’t just alleged that the market has been moved by high bidders. They’ve alleged intent and malice. Still no sign of that.

“It wouldn’t be hard to get evidence” is, shockingly, not itself evidence 🙂

I would need evidence to go along with a “someone is doing this purposefully with the sole intent of raising prices” theory. No one has presented that so market forces are all we have to go off of. Though I’m starting to want to keep my bids high because of the obnoxious weeping and gnashing of teeth in this thread, so it’s plausible. The amount of finger pointing over 25k influence is absurd.
