Time Defender

Hey I knew prices were messed up hours before this thread started 🙂

Sensing a pattern between this and Super Strength Rage. All of your problems seem easily explained away but some sort of mental block makes them still feel like problems. I just upped all my bids from 5k to 25k. Pennies, so no big deal.

No comment on particular implementation ideas atm but I like the concept. Love the Elementalist class on Guild Wars 2, rapidly rotating between all 4 elements.

@PeregrineFalcon halp we need the gif

The other option is don’t try to keep them from running at all but use Burn with the understanding that, on a Scrapper, its useful component is the initial burst…

EDIT: I have tried to develop a potent counterargument to this idea because Troo is sometimes turdlike, but, alas, his proposal is airtight and I am forced to enthusiastically endorse his entire portfolio of game-related suggestions.

Yes

Need is a strong word. Anyway now this has devolved into being strictly an RP problem I’m done 🙂

Dunno, I can’t imagine circumstances in which I’d skip Meltdown or perma-Light Form.

I do this one when I’m reeeally trying my best to make a build work without Ageless. My Rad defender and one of my Poison defenders use this slotting plus Vigor Core to make proc monster Clarion Core builds playable. Can get your end consumption down near 1/s even after 8-10 toggles or whatever.

Lots of powersets have crashes that have nothing to do with the concept of rage. So, no, nothing inherently angry about the powerset besides the 4 letter word. You just need to decouple crashes and these imaginary RP rage issues in your mind and you’ll be fine. Otherwise we have lots of other sets.

Right but your problem with the powerset is literally that a power is named “Rage”. Isn’t that about as [not] meaningful to gameplay, as, say, if a Katana user were to claim their light damage attack unfairly ties their character concept to the stigma of gambling addiction? The only thing that ties Super Strength to anger is the word “Rage”. Seems silly to let the name of a power keep you from playing a powerset.

I just want everybody to know that I already checked: the name Amber Turd is already taken on Excelsior 😕

I’m guilty of some truly obscene “buy it nao price” HO / D-Sync purchases to keep the Micros, Cytos, Heal/Rech D-Syncs, etc coming. Do you have a catalog of assets plus prices you have for sale? Lol

(1) As TheZag said, sometimes three attributes are enhanced. Good examples: Enzymes in Venomous Gas or Radiation Infection, Cytoskeletons in Invincibility, Membranes in Farsight or Mind Link. End/Rech/Slow D-Syncs, etc. (2) Sometimes you aren’t slotting for set bonuses so the raw value of HO’s is better. A +5 Uncommon/Rare Acc/Dam IO is 33.1% enhancement vs 38.3% for a 53 Nucleolus. So anytime you are frankenslotting or 1-slotting or not caring about bonuses for whatever other reason, you should consider if you’ll get more enhancement value out of HO’s. Examples include 1-2 slotting Microfilaments instead of Travel/Ends in your travel powers, slotting powers with 1-2 Nucs and 4-5 procs, etc.

KM struggles from (1) crappy alternative to Build Up and (2) horrible animation times on everything that could possibly be a heavy hitting attack. KM Stalkers have Build Up and Assassin’s Strike, addressing both serious problems. Same pattern for Electric Melee, which is still great at AoE on every other AT but is only great at single target damage on Stalkers (Scrappers not completely horrible because Snipes but still).

Do you analyze all power names and powerset names with this degree of literalism? Now I’m wondering what other names could be problematic to such a rigid imagination.

Kinetic Melee is known for being 10x better on Stalker than on anything else, so no not quite 🙂 My 109th character is in fact now a KM/SR Stalker. Literally because I wanted to play the good version of the powerset.

Just a snowflakey QoL request I’ve had in my mind for a long long time. Sometimes I use global hide features, but, like many here, I’m working with north of 100 alt characters. It’s a mild annoyance that they can’t just be on the same page settings-wise. Imagining an extra field in the global hide settings window that allows the user to apply those settings account-wide. Not a big deal but thought I’d throw it out there.

Give it Mako Knockout Blow as an extra consolation melee power and I think we have a winner 🙂

They’ll have to update the prices very often to keep them accurate in this market.

Nothing with Kinetics can ever be the worst anything. I like where your head’s at but try again on the secondary 🙂

It’s possible that a /Dark Scrapper could make the shortlist here with lower res caps, but I doubt it because Dark Regeneration is too good. Once you’re a Brute or Tanker with higher resistance caps it really takes off and leaves any problems in the dust. I’ll maintain that /Electric Scrapper would be hardest along with /Regen here because /Dark’s heal is too good and /Fire’s damage is too good.
