Isn't the Shivan Obliterator in that one TF basically the giant monster version of the Galaxy City tutorial one?

I'm not hurting anyone by skipping them. Not even myself. You know how many mobs I haven't been able to beat because I skipped them? None. You know how many missions I couldn't clear because I skipped them? None. You know how much time I saved on my older characters that had them as compared to my current characters that don't? Pretty much none. Use them. They are there to be used. Do not presume to tell me or anyone else that they are essential. Do not presume to tell me or anyone else how to play, unless we specifically ask for it. We all ahve our playstyles. Yours uses Aim and Build Up. Mine does not. That does not mean I am hurting myself by skipping it or that I am a fool for having skipped it. Get over yourself. To the author and others. I apologize for this derailment.

I think if you have 100% mez resistance, then the duration of appropriate mezzes affecting you is reduced to 50%. The formula for mez protection, to the best of my knowledge, is 1/1+% resist. So if you had 200% mez resistance, the duration would only be 1/3 its normal duration. Edit: So mez protection and mez resistance serve different functions. Mez protection keeps you from being affected until the mez exceeds your protection, and mez resistance gets you out from under the mez's effects sooner when you are affected. (Edit again: So basically, if I remember correctly, the original presentation of mez resist in game for our characters was % mez resistance, but was changed to instead show duration reduction because players would see % resist and wonder why they were being mezzed with 100%+ mez resistance. However, that means that the duration reductions shown on the combat attributes tab is not linearly cumulative. It shows your current final duration (which is the only part worth looking at since the % resist you could have used to calculate the duration is not there) and the non-linearly cumulative duration reductions that get you to that final duration value.)

You can track your badges across any and all of your characters here: https://n15g.github.io/badger/ Not as convenient, but it works.

Then you are wrong. Aim and Build Up are options. Just like basically every other power in the game. If you want to use them for burst damage? Great. Good on you. I use it for my Stalkers for their initial AS. If you don't want to use them for burst damage? Great. You can stick with sustain damage and grab other options for that power slot. I don't use them for any of my non-Stalker characters unless I run out of powers I am looking to fit into the build. They are not essential for anything.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or serious.

If this is a suggestion for this web site, then the post should be here: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/forum/63-website-suggestions-feedback/ Edit: There are also sites that give detailed info on all the zones here: https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page and here: https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Main_Page

The Goliath War Walker is easy to duo, so I can't imagine it would be that hard to solo.

My attempt at a giant monster event for a currently not available for game content zone. At least it isn't just another giant monster just standing there waiting for a lone incarnate to stomp it.

You missed my self-correction. I saw it when I posted the Fury post. Edit: I still want to know why mobs in my RttC aura run away so often if it has such a taunt effect though. As opposed to your brutes apparently.

We already have lots of giant monsters. Seems like damn near every zone. More giant monsters for the sake of more giant monsters is boring. Not every zone needs a giant monster. If you want more events? I would vastly prefer something more interesting than just another giant monster standing there waiting to be smacked down.

And here is where the provided Fury link goes: (Looks unsurprisingly similar.) (Edit: Darn those raid tags on the long durations you cited.) Edit again: Okay, I see the exclamation marks now. It's at the start rather than the tag.

No thanks.

Wanna try again? (This is where the link goes. No exclamation marks.)

Gauntlet also has the raid tag. Standard Effects 100% chance Child Effects 100% chance 14.96 second Taunt (Mag 4) if target.HasTag?(Raid) && (@ToHitRoll + 0.2 < @ToHit) 100% chance 14.96 second Taunt (Mag 4) if !target.HasTag?(Raid) 0.5 PPM 6.0 second Taunt (Mag 4) Edit: And is single target only. So how does that work for an 8-feet radius aura? Best you can claim is a 6 second taunt.

Tag Raid: https://cod.uberguy.net/html/entity-tags.html?tag=raid&q=bears It's not just iTrials and the like. The Ghost Ship has the raid tag. Lusca has the raid tag. A lot of mobs have the raid tag.

I am? Because here is where I got that information from: https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=tanker_defense.willpower.rise_to_the_challenge&at=tanker It's kind of funny that this thread is about RttC and Entropic Aura, but you are citing... let me check your links... Fury and Gauntlet? Which is not what the OP is talking about. Edit: Also, I'm curious as to what you do with your /Willpower brtue as opposed to what I do with mine. Mobs are more than happy to just up and run from mine unless I'm smashing their faces. They don't stay there if they are on my flanks/behind me where my attacks can't hit. (Edit again: Which is why I didn't even know that RttC even had a taunt effect. Because RttC doesn't seem to taunt anything. As stated in my post you quoted.)

Yeah, if the issue that would prevent the OP from being implemented is that the devs don't want to increase taunt effects for just Scrappers, then it is a non-issue. Tanker Willpower: 100% chance 1.25 second Taunt (Mag 3) if target.HasTag?(Raid) && (@ToHitRoll + 0.2 < @ToHit) The issue isn't Scrapper versus Tanker. The issue is there are apparently two sets that have no mentionable taunt in their aura taunt effects. My /Willpower brutes have no mob holding ability. I didn't even know RttC even had a taunt component. So I agree with the OP. RttC and Entropic Aura should have their durations upped to the 13.6 seconds every other set has.

A timer would solve your problem without taking away the randomness other players enjoy.

That is how RNG works. If you want to simplify the process, then ask for the RNG to place a block on abandoned missions for a period of time to increase the likelihood of getting the mission you are after. Some players like the RNG element. Especially if solo. Some teams like it too. It gives them more missions to run from the same contact. Other teams don't like it. That's just how it goes. (Edit: Maybe ask for like a 5 minute timer to be placed on abandoned missions. That should be well more than long enough for your teammates to cycle through to the mission the team leader has with little fuss.)

I very rarely take Aim or Build Up. So nice to know that makes me fool.

Unless they are taking turns talking to Stephanie, I still don't get the problem. There is an equal chance for each character to get the same mission. Sure, her position limits the space for characters to gather around her, but still. Edit: And she doesn't really have a lot of missions. 5 missions in her arc and 2 filler missions. And the first and last missions in her arc are guaranteed to be the same every time.

All I have to say is that depending on the arc and contact, a set mission progression can be very nice and so can a random mission progression. Like I said, it depends on the arc and contact to me. The only issue I have with the random arrangement in Striga is when you get an unassociated mission popping up in the middle of the arc. Ouroboros actually includes a non-arc mission as listed on paragonwiki and homecoming wiki in the arc for one of the Striga contacts. (Can't remember which.) As far as the OP goes, if you are teaming, it would be nice if the contact(s) gave everyone the same missions when they ask if they are at the same point with the contact. Except for filler missions since those don't have a progression, just a completion. (By the same token, I've been on teams where the missions not lining up was preferred so they could run those missions again without having to go look for a new contact when the team leader is done. Team leader just selects one of the members' missions from the same arc, and they can keep progressing without needing a new contact. Though, those are more farming teams than anything else.) If you are solo, then different orders as long as the overall flow of the arc is consistent keeps things interesting. Though I do disagree with @Coyotedancer's comment that larger teams having to cycle through the contact to get the same mission becomes more exponentially annoying since all members can be talking to the contact at the same time.

Knockback isn't random. It is always away from your character.

That works. Is it a single slot each or a single slot per linked character slot? (Edit: That is, can the pets have different costumes to match the PC?) Is it still limited to regular character models or are there beast and plant customizations?
