Major_Decoy

As I recall, the replacement has a shorter duration, but the last time I went diving through patch notes, the only documentation I found about "powers with reduced strength through flashback" were the Bees and Creeper from Vernon Von Grun and stuff like that, and it didn't offer a particularly detailed breakdown.

The wedding band can already be replaced. You just have to re-run Peeble's arc in Ouroboros.

Yes.

Someone asked to rework this into a debuff set, Same set of animations as discussed above. Hip Fire: Very low damage, just a quick shot, debuffs damage on a single target Single Shot: Poison Round. You take a moment to load a special round, debuffs regeneration on a single target. Covering Fire: You spray a cone of bullets a certain direction to make people duck out of the way. to-hit debuff, does no damage Focus Fire: Your attacks are most potent when targeting single enemy. Every attack that hits an enemy stacks Focus, making your debuffs more effective, wearing off over time. Aimed Shot: You aim carefully to incapacitate your target. Target - resistance, -special Rapid Fire: Minor damage, but adds multiple stacks of Focus quickly Wild Shots: Random shots to make the aimed shots harder to detect and react to. defense debuff does no damage Empty Clip: clears Focus stacks on main target, a number of targets within a radius of your target all get debuffed with -resistance Ricochet: As described above, a chaining projectile, but only does extreme lethal damage to the first target, moderate damage to other targets, and has a pretty high chance to stun and a damage debuff.

So, Shift+#1-8 will target your team members. If you're hitting just the number and targeting your teammates it could mean your shift key is stuck down. If your shift key is not stuck, alt+tab is usually enough to fix the problem. It might have something to do with window's "Sticky Keys"?

You might try pairing Dual Blades and Stone Armour. The proc on Brimstone scales with cast time, not recharge, and Stone Armour really only has Earth's Embrace as a click, so there isn't a lot to interfere with your combos. There are a couple of stone looking options for blades if you don't want to just play a variant of "The Sword in the Stone" where the stone becomes the one true monarch.

The request for a melee/support class (specifically, I recall mostly "I want a melee kineticist") dates back to the live servers.

You've made an assertion, but I've seen no data. But from abstraction, it is accepted that 45% defense is equivalent to 90% resistance. Regeneration is more effective for lower incoming DPS. High defense means you get spikes of damage, but ten seconds of regeneration is ten seconds of regeneration. If the defense character is taking the same amount of damage as the resistance character, then they're getting the same benefit from regeneration. The advantage of resistance is that it's more regular, more predictable. As to force field, the power I consider to be redundant is Insulation Field. Combine all the effects of Deflection Shield and Insulation Field into one power to free up a power slot.

I feel like your analysis is ignoring a number of facts: 1) Defense is stronger than resistance against debuffs unless the resistance has an equivalent amount of specific debuff resistance. Defense is also better against enemy attacks like Dark Regeneration, Siphon Life, and Follow-up. 2) 45% defense is roughly equivalent 90% resistance by the math. Every archetype can hit 45% defense, only tanks and brutes can hit 90% resistance. 3) Defense characters benefit from regeneration too. I'm not saying that your suggestion for Force Field is bad, I'm just saying that your section on Resistance vs. Defense is poorly argued and ultimately unnecessary to your point about improvements to Force Field.

I like it.

Check out the page 3 patch notes:

There should be one in that room, near the doorway, talking to a customer. The first time I did that mission, I had so much trouble finding that teller.

I'd still argue that it's unintended behaviour for the enemies in the mission, even if it is unsurprising behaviour. According to the story being told, there shouldn't be quantum gunners standing there while all their allies have been defeated. Your explanations are unnecessary. I didn't express any confusion as to why this was happening, my argument is that in the mission it shouldn't be happening. That all of it is contrary to the intent of the story.

I'm not opposed to a Giant Robot attack, I'm just opposed to it being triggered by Hess. Maybe Citadel? "Oh no, Vandal's been captured, release the Giant Robot to free him"

Sorry if I wasn't clear, yes, those spawns are supposed to all be defeated, the weird behaviour is the quantums not being defeated. And the rest of the spawn standing up and when the quantum is aggroed.

It doesn't seem too hard. I feel like I could get there with some adjustments to this build.

There are medical supplies destructables scattered throughout the map that, if you destroy them, will give you a buff to cancel outthe debuffs, damage, and end drain. I did not discover the purpose of those until my third run of the arc.

So, in the mission "Report to Councilman Hammet" all of the family when you enter the mission spawn defeated, they're just lying on the ground, except for the Quantum Gunners who spawn perfectly fine and are just standing around by piles of corpses. When you attack the quantum gunners, the rest of the spawn stands up as if to aggro you, but they're still defeated and untargetable.

I don't actually want this fixed, but when the maximum level of skulls was increased, Quantum gunner levels was not. Even in a level 17 mission, they're still spawning at 14s.

Yeah, a Giant Robot at the end of Hess makes no sense. But there's a badge about a Banished Pantheon thing called "The Unnamed"...

I just did the Scroll of Tielekku arc again, and it reminded me of the Blade King Caesar and that's a rank that never show up before or after. Also, it made me wonder what the Warriors would have done if they had been able to trap a god.

Finger guns for dual pistols

I re-read the increasingly misnamed Hitch-hiker's Trilogy this year, and so far the series had reminded me of the Ultimate Perspective Machine, but the version that shows Zaphod that he really is the center of the universe. So I was totally expecting this whole thing to be Lokis all the way down.

Yeah, they changed it when they got rid of bruising. Remember when they tested "Maybe taunt should have a 10 or 7 target cap"? This was the change to taunt that actually stuck.
