Bio Armor.

Character data is never going to be available. It's too large and too specific. If the HC folks lose some kind of legal battle, I assume some copy of it would fall of the back of a truck somewhere.

Do they stop runners? Taunt auras stop runners.

scrubbed.

How?

No work being done on trivially easy to fix power/AT inconsistencies.

In summation, it has no reason to exist. It only penalizes you and provides no advantage.

Chain Fences, why?

You're way off on the absorb. It's like 1/5th of your health, and only if you stay out of combat for like a minute. When you're in combat, you'll never notice it at all.

Where are you seeing a buff actually activate then?

There's nothing about /Plant makes it better at ranged than melee. It's still a melee set.

Good thing we have that figured out then.

Are we sure arcanatime is still really a thing?

I'm pretty sure the Soulbound Allegiance Build Up does not work in Voltaic Sentinel. In game that is. In the spreadsheet it does something, but what it does should be nothing, since it doesn't work in game.

Listen to those smart and wordier guys. Anything else I would add would just be shorter and less descriptive.

The biggest problem with Sentinel damage isn't their scalar, it's that Blast sets suck for damage.

Fire Blast is the only good blast set for several reasons.

Which attacks are you using between AS then?

Can ATOs go in epic powers?

See title, pretty much. I feel like I may be doing something wrong always waiting on that.

What is the conventional wisdom, or just your personal opinion, on when a snipe or targeted AoE from the Epic pool should be used? They conflict with the Assassin's charge accrual, so when do people like to use them?

1.67s is pretty standard.

OK, I've done an exhaustive amount of playing with this spreadsheet and making test builds based on it. The only comment I have left about the sheet is that no one should be trying to make perfect attack strings in the sheet. Not only because of averaged out haste, but because, in reality, you actually want gaps so that you can actually use all the powers you need to use outside of your perfect attack string. You need space to use Build Up, Hasten, Destiny, etc because you suck without them. And if you truly find a gap on one of your rotations, that's just time to throw an AoE. That's much more efficient than slotting up a Charged Brawl, for example. Now for an off-topic rant. Blast sets suck (except Fire). They are extremely poorly designed. This is an AT with 2 damage sets and no defense. However, in order to actually outdamage the ATs which have defense, Blasters are required to be punching an equal amount of time as those ATs but have no ability to do so effectively. For a Blaster to actually outdamage a Scrapper/Stalker/Brute, they can only use their Snipe, Aim, and Nuke from the primary set. Everything else has to be punches from the secondary. If you try using any other power from the Blast set, you'll go below a melee AT. And don't forget, Scrappers/Stalkers get snipe and targeted AoE out of the epic pool. This is mindbogglingly poor design. I've called Blaze completely overpowered before, but it turns out, Blaze is the solution, not the problem. Electric tries real hard to be good but still falls short. Dark at least smacks its head into the bar without getting over it. Every other set is complete garbage. To cross pollinate this thread with your other hugely noteworthy thread. This is why Sentinels are bad. They have a bad primary.

Thanks!

There's a Discord I should be looking at?
