Animation time. Bitter Freeze Ray is the same animation as Energy Transfer. It's about three seconds and it just feels like forever in combat.

Fashion Show: Your best "Just a Normal Person" costumes!
Major_Decoy replied to Zombra's topic in General Discussion
It doesn't. Breasted is a binary. There is breasted, which has any non-zero number of breasts, and unbreasted which a zero number of breasts, the trivial set. -
Well, this is what I threw together. I tried exporting the data, but every export option just seems to crash mids.

What are your build ambitions? Hasten or no?

This is City of Heroes, it should be the Primal effect. A large population of Paragon does not remember growing up drinking Enriche. This is a real problem. (Even in a world with multiple dimensions, false memories would still be a thing. How much harder would it be to argue with someone "No Ted, You did not come from a universe where the Pringles Man had a monocle. Ted, it's been mapped. There is no universe where he has a monocle. No, I don't know why Unai did that research either, apparently he just has that many heroes doing reconnaissance for him.")

Help me settle on some things with a new character
Major_Decoy replied to Photon's topic in General Discussion
Ninjitsu is better for Scrappers than for Stalkers, but then, so is Willpower (which lost Quick Recovery for Hide). Of the two, Ninjitsu is more of a defense set and if you want a revive you can go into the Presence Pool for Unrelenting (Invoke Panic would also be pretty thematic for a ghost). -
Bad Decisions Man would like some build help.
Major_Decoy replied to Major_Decoy's topic in Scrapper
Thanks. I don't think I'll get the ideal rotation because I kind of hate hasten, though I suppose Fiery Melee/Regeneration doesn't have any other powers I'd need auto-fire for. -
WST Respec week. Challenge suggestion.

That's a man speaking from experience. -

Major_Decoy replied to Major_Decoy's topic in Scrapper
That's part of my problem. I don't entirely know. Doctored Wounds was my first pick because I was just kind of frankenslotting, getting the best enhancement bonuses for the lowest investment of slots, because, while I knew I didn't entirely have enough slots to go around at lower levels, I didn't know which powers I'd need. It's my first time playing regeneration and fiery melee. But as I've gotten to level 43 now, slots aren't quite the sticking point they once were. I still haven't figured out an attack chain. By this time on most characters, I kind of have an idea of which attacks I use most often, but with fiery melee it just feels like button mashing. -
He solos fine and he's one of the few characters I have that can actually get all of his toggles back up before the untouchable portion of Revive wears off, but I don't really have any particular build goals. He's an meta-concept of "I'm going to fail all the missions I can possibly fail" combined with "Well, if I play a character who just makes really bad decisions all the time, maybe I can stomach doing some of the creepy villain arcs.

Yeah, I'll be able to use Temporal bomb right before or after I use poison trap. Truth be told, when I say "surprise nightstar" I haven't actually been on a BAF yet, I'm only level 38. I've used Trip Mine a bit while trick or treating, but I never remember to lay trip mines and pull enemies to them when I'm soloing. I did get duray to half health just by sitting at his spawn point and laying trip mines and poison traps until the rest of the team had defeated enough turrets

How is one supposed to beat Silver Mantis?
Major_Decoy replied to Ultimo's topic in General Discussion
All of her attacks (except for caltrops) do -def, so you might be better off with oranges if you're not already at 90% resist lethal. If you find yourself running out of inspirations you can e-mail yourself some before the fight and just load up your tray from e-mail. -

Envenomed Dagger. Edit: the "taking no damage" might be an issue you have to reset the mission for, and you might have to kite Silver Mantis a bit while Unstoppable is active just to keep refreshing the envenomed dagger -regeneration. -
If they're not going to make a Rikti Monkey archetype, they should at least make a Rikti Monkey prestige power.

A sword is Tech origin. It is a lever. A gun is science, it uses chemical fuel to propel a projectile.

Well, the presence pool did get a rework too, it's just that provoke was left alone. At launch, the presence pool only had four powers: Challenge, Provoke, Intimidate, and Invoke Panic. The rework dropped Challenge from the Presence Pool and picked up Pacify and Unrelenting. They just didn't really change any of the existing powers during the rework.
-
I'm not sure that most people end up using all four power pools these days. But I'll agree that Provoke should get another once-over. When it was set to use and accuracy check to taunt, Tanker's taunt didn't have -range. Also Tanker's taunt was still single target so the Provoke pool was just about mandatory for tanks back then. So it got hit pretty hard. Since then, however, Taunt and Confront have improved. The to-hit check in PvE seems unnecessary, and the -range would be nice, but could be limited just to the target if they're worried about it.

I'm almost certain that Afterburner was on the live servers and both Gadgetry and Utility Belt were still in development afterwards. I think that Gadgetry and Utility Belt are still in development now. I remember a post about the first page 7 test build where Gadgetry was accidentally available for players to select.
