  1. Resist sets are better on Brute, but this should work on either since you can build DA softcap with a parry relatively easily... Tentatively I'd say go Staff/Dark on Brutes, Staff/SR on Scrappers. That's off-the-cuff, though. Can't back it up with numbers, just an intuition. got ya
  2. Dark armor, easily. At low levels, DA benefits a great deal from Staff's endredux. At high levels with stable Endurance, it benefits a great deal from Form of the Body; which provides a combo-based damage buff to Death Shroud, an AoE -res, and a +res for self. Staff, meanwhile, loves the mez and damage auras; it's not the highest damage set natively and really wants to have a lot of people in its cones. To a lesser extent, Fiery Aura, SR, and Electric Armor; FA is a lot like Dark here but a bit more frantic. The endredux doesn't help Fire quite as much (although it lets you take Blazing Aura earlier), but the +res really helps FA down the road. SR meanwhile gets an early Parry out of the deal and a +recov/+regen proc, doesn't hate the +res, and offers a +rech which Staff very much wants to get its combos out faster. Electric Armor combines a bit of both. Hmmmm what do you think is better, Staff/Dark for scrappers or for brutes?
  3. I just made a Staff/Dark Brute alt 2 days ago. Imo a positional def boosting attack(Parry type powers) will always benefit a pure resistance set(FA, DA) more than a typed defense set(Inv, WP)
  4. Missed this initially, but I think seeing it as 50 is the wrong way to look at it. It's 20% more damage, which is significant. Depending on the power a second recharge could indeed have a dramatic impact on damage too, but will a second accuracy increase the powers overall damage by 20%? That is extremely unlikely. Sure if the comparison is 2 lvl 25 IOs vs 3 lvl 50 IOs but if you are looking at 2 lvl 50 IOs that is 83.32% enhancement which gets you 272.2 dmg & extra lvl 50 IO will barely get you more than 20 more points of damage!
  5. Green Lantern? I would say more like Red Lanterns. :D Well you can tint the set however you like lol
  6. There's also an option to save your chat settings as a default NANI?!?!?!?!
  7. I'm a fan of the set, I was looking for a set that could replicate Gon's JaJanken(rock & scissors at least) as well as Green Lantern powers, the set works well at that
  8. Thanks for the laughs!
  9. I remember running/leading the Old School Positron TF & falling asleep at my chair 2 nights in a row. To this day I have never completed that TF.
  10. All the time, someone told me you could slot 5 in theory just the other day. "Rule of 5" they said as if it was common knowledge. "May not be wort more than 3 unless you're trying to really max something", completely nuts. EDIT: even better now that I realize you pointed out that even 3 makes no sense ESPECIALLY level 50s, beyond common for people to go 3 even at 50. Make no sense unless you have an extra just laying around and an empty slot with nothing else to go into it. That is crazy to me.
  11. i24 nerfed PPM procs in 2 ways: -90% cap on proc chance -Modified recharge lowers proc chance(iirc Paragon Studios said they would change this to only work against slotted recharge) Back in I22/23 when ppl were just figuring out what you could do with PPMs there was great experimentation I remember independently realizing I could pack the PPP Hold with 2 hold Procs to hold EBs for about 8 seconds & the chance for buildup proc which had a greater than 51% chance of going off in those holds, it was awesome but "illusion of progress" is the only kind allowed in MMO game design it too had to be nerfed. That said I hope Leandro/Homecoming team ditch the PPM nerfs & restore the choice between PPM & traditional Procs.
  12. 3 of any lvl 50 IO doesn't make any sense, are people really suggesting that slotting?
  13. I don't use sprints in combat but I would love a no end cost ninja/beast stance toggle (or costume setting)
  14. my very first toon was Ma/Regen back in issue 0/ 1 (back before the katana animation changes)
  15. this I have a costume that uses that backpack just for the collar I'd love to have them separate
  16. you sohuldn't have to apologize for this, all suggestions, bugs & complaints should be understood from a "when we get to it, if we get to it" perspective.
  17. Ninjitsu for scrappers has a very convenient end recovery click
  18. Except for the time they said power customization (colors) would be too hard to do ... I've been an app developer for longer than many of you have been alive and sometimes it's just that devs get locked into looking at things a certain way. Don't lose hope; some new kid might look at the code and go "Aha!" They never said it would be impossible, they only said that it would be a massive amount of work. That's a big difference from "we can't figure out how to get there from here." I'm open to being surprised, however. But if it was as simple as removing the brawl attack from the pets, I'm sure the old team would've done that. I still recall the devs saying they didn't want to remove brawl from the pets in the old days, not that they couldn't or that it would be too hard. That is how I remember it too, they probably just wanted pets to run up & get owned.
  19. I'm interested
  20. the so called trenchcoat is just a jacket with a butt cape attached
  21. could the person have confused Knockup with Knockdown?
