Mathematically, it doesn’t seem worth the cost of not adding a stack of assassination. Am I misunderstanding what people are doing with snipes?

Not at all.

Or is it a proc?

Yes, the server is the source. It can be verified by anyone in actual play.

I was asking about the same sets compared to the same sets. Obviously a fire/kin defender will outdamage an elec/dark corrupter, for example. Basically, under what sets does vigilance+better buff/debuff beat scourge+scalar?

Electrical Blast is objectively the worst of the blast sets. 1. Endurance drain is pointless. NPCs don't have costs to their powers. They have drain. The "cost" is deducted from their endurance. The only check which is made is if they have any endurance. So if they have 1 endurance, they can use a power that "costs" 100, at which point they'll have 100 removed from their total endurance, 99 of which was meaningless. So for endurance drain to be a meaningful mechanic, you have to get them to 0 endurance and keep them from recovering any. If you think that's what Short Circuit does, see the next point. 2. -100% Recovery doesn't zero out endurance recovery on NPCs. It halves it, just like 100% deductions on recharge, or endurance reduction. On this point, I'm not actually sure. It's just the most likely explanation given that you can demonstrably prove NPCs get endurance back while being chain Short Circuited. Eventually they get endurance. 3. Voltaic Sentinel is much worse than the high damage single target attacks other sets get. Just simple math on this one. It does 1/4 to 1/3 the damage of the heavy single target attacks. It also does this less often given practical levels of recharge, as its rate of fire never changes. And you don't even get to decide who it shoots. 4. Thunderous Blast has 25 second longer cooldown than other T9 nukes. It does the same damage as them, but takes longer. It also has a longer animation time.

If we’re talking about pure solo play, which AT actually does more damage in apples to apples comparisons?

Comic Con arc will be gone soon. Also, any data gathered on those rank 3 radials instead of rank 4s?

Why?

Until you get held. Death is out of combat.

There’s no such thing as perfect software in a complex system. I have a career in knowledge about the following: NASA is by far the best when it comes to code quality. They have to be. They’re coding around once in a lifetime opportunities, with billions of dollars, and sometimes lives on the line. They’re quality is so good that it makes defense contractors (those also responsible for billions of dollars and lives) look like some college project. They put men on the moon with less power than this pocket device, as the saying goes. NASA once obliterated a millions of dollars lander on Mars because one team used feet and another used meters. That’s the pinnacle. Why would anyone expect a video game to be well designed.

Aren't we already doing that with this thread? We're already capturing tiny, tiny percentages of difference in things.

Force feedback on a power that recharges that fast is barely ever on. I have it in storm kick and it’s active maybe every four minutes.

If you're strictly farming, don't use attuned because you can't +5 them.

Your rotation includes a power with no slots in it though. Enough Haste removes that.

Do PVP IOs auto exemplar?

So what explains why Thunderous Blast has a longer recharge than the other Blaster T9s, and does the same damage?

Good explanation.

Well, they're all useless except for damage. Why not just turn everything off except red?

This will take awhile to process. Thanks though. Edit: going well so far. Do awakens not combine or have I messed something up?

I never understood what you guys were talking about with macro attack chains and mouse wheel who sits. I just put powers on the buttons and push them. Can you give me a first grade summary of what you’re even doing?

I would never have considered so little recharge.

What sets are you using to achieve that ranged defense?

What do you like about Temporal specifically?

Which do you consider skippable and why?
