I’ve prepped my respec builds for my Dark/Dark Controller and Dark/Storm Defender. In both I just slotted this with two Recharge IO’s. Sound good?

Did something happen to the farmers? 🫠

IMO they should just go with the BU/Rage modifier change and the radius/base damage nerf and drop the overcap stuff for now. If further nerfs are still needed they can add that back next page.

Don’t want to make this harder for those fighting the good fight, but, to those saying they would take radius reductions for their base damage back, I am not personally convinced I want to make that trade.

If you use this power on the wrong enemy group, and it does wind up doing a bunch of phasing, can you cancel the power in your buff bar and cancel the phase?

Sorry for the misunderstanding. That’s better but I think my point stands. “The AV can only knock me on my ass for the first half of the fight” doesn’t really make me feel like I can forego Blessing of the Zephyr procs. And if I don’t feel confident doing that, the buff really is meaningless to me. Assuming there’s a zero sum approach to balance where this buff has some value in the equation that keeps the set from getting a different kind of buff, I would most likely prefer a different kind of buff. Or just a reliable version of KB protection even if the overall mag is lower.

Basically Plant Control got the Sorcery treatment at this point. In other words, the backlash to nerfing part of a set was so intense that the devs felt they had to give the set an overall net buff.

Does Sudden Acceleration even affect knockup? Isn’t that a separate effect?

Feels like a next week release could be likely here 🤔 Considering whether or not to take a couple days off lol

If you want to make CoF feel mandatory, I have no problem with that. But the situational KB protection dependent on how many foes are in range really doesn’t interest me. I’m still going to invest in KB protection IO’s for singular hard targets. So, to the extent the set could have something else if this situational KB protection were just deleted, I’d be in favor of that. Either a singular non-stacking normal amount of KB protection in CoF or another power or something else entirely. This feature as is is sort of useless considering the highest mag KB powers you will ever come up against are from solo AV’s and GM’s.

This is why I love Tankers. I do the most minimal slotting on the mitigation side and am immortal. And I get to do more interesting things with my offensive slotting as a result.

Note: 2 of 3 reasons now gone.

Thank you so much for posting this! I was loading up abandoned alts to farm for easy emp merits this weekend (prepping for the new page), and this trick helped a ton! EDIT: I guess it’s a really old post tho lol. EDIT 2: Trick is also very nice for transferring a stack of aethers after a 4 star TF.

If I’m reading this right, it is suggesting that Tanker offense is now a hair behind Brute offense. Isn’t that what we want?

It’s small and I can multi-box so not sure what the confusion is Jawbreaker 😉

Did you ever like CoH?

IIRC the best players play CoH on a 14-inch macbook with no mouse

As someone who is absolutely terrible at first person shooters, I am offended and challenge you to a duel IRL.

I thought that too. Giving Tankers the no-crash Overload after allegedly worrying that the other versions would be too strong is pretty wild. But obviously I’m looking forward to it.

Tesla Cage buff is appreciated!

3rd build in 4 days! At this rate I feel like I need to be ready for launch by this next Tuesday.

So to be clear, you guys fight 6-8 baddies with the help of 8-10 confused baddies and die often?

Ultimately I think many of my Controllers/Dominators will have to drop their 4th pool (usually Leadership for Controllers and Concealment for Dominators).

I don’t understand this bullshit argument about “I’ll die if 6 of 16 enemies can attack me”. I build for like 0% resistance and 5% defense and even I smell some bullshit.

Thank god there isn’t another T4 released with the new page. IIRC you only need ~500 aethers to catch up with the new page.
