  1. My main blaster is BR with /dark as secondary. From my experience, darkness manipulation is under-preforming as a blaster secondary. Apart from thematics (Reason I took it), the power set's gimmick -to hit has little value. There is no build-up, instead you get [Soul Drain] and [Midnight Grasp], which requires you to be in melee range. Did I mention the set is expected to be "rebalanced" with longer recharge timers?

     

    Look for another secondary, I recommend devices, energy, electric, fire, ice for PvE. Tactical arrow and plant are good in PvP.

  2. My thoughts on VEAT improvements.

    • Add No-Redraw option to all Arachnos weapons; (Mace/ Claws/ Guns
    • Reduce endurance costs of Tactical Training powers or increase endurance recovery of inherent.
    • Change the Bane Spider's [Crowd Control] cone into an AoE with better dmg potential.
    • Allow for additional Arachnos uniform slots in the costume select screen

    I feel like the Fortunata specialization is in a good place, good def/ res/ mez potential, and a T9 Nuke, besides that the rest of the VEAT specs could see improvements.

  3. That's a good idea for a work-around related to HC's streaming/ video policy. I know a few people who would be interested in learning more about base building, but are unsure of the finer techniques. I would think that screen sharing on Discord should be fine as long as it isn't recorded and proliferated on social media.

    ...Another huge issue with Regen is that it's extremely weak against debuffs, especially -Regen, -Heal and -Rech out of which the last one is very common. Also given the lack of innate Defense, most of those debuffs are likely to land. Finally, we get to its main weakness: spike damage, which is prevalent everywhere in the game unless you play at very low difficulty settings.

    The "spike" damage taken when fighting higher level mobs is what kills this set for me. My experience with /regen has been awful in PvE. The set focuses too much on keeping IH/ Dull Pain up just-in-time to stay alive. Any -recharge or -regen debuffs are a death sentence for this secondary.

    I'd support adding the Sent's [Instant Regeneration] absorb effect to the set, or at least adding some dmg mitigation. As is currently stands Regen is a VERY under-preforming set.

    I'd be sad too. I love it as a QoL. I'm not sure what harm it's doing outside of the "avoid PVP death" crowd. It's been particularly appreciated during those shadow shard missions.

    It's also used to cheat death in "Master of _____" badge attempts.

    I always find myself going back to Mass Effect (2&3) and Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines.

     

    Old post but +1 for VtM bloodlines. I played the Clan Quest mod for it a few weeks back. Highly recommend it to anyone who's a fan of the game. Adds in a Sabbat story-line with excellent voice acting.

  7. Oh wow. I'm shocked to have placed first in the contest. Thank you for hosting the event. It was great to have the chance to see everyone's creations on Excelsior. The base builders in this game have some incredible skill and imagination. Shout-out to @Onemantankwall and @LordofChaos (Chaos Girl), amazing bases both of you.

     

    I loved the animal head wall with dagger teeth @Onemantank. @Chaos girl's gauntlet of death leading to the prison area really worked well to give a sense of foreboding.

  8. Seeing as how as how the /enterbasefrompasscode bug has been allowed to live, I'd quiet about it as long as it doesn't break the game; i.e. adding free inf/ killing players in any zone. The bug may even come to be an expected feature, given enough time and exposure on the servers.

     

    Purely theoretical, of course...

  9. I have a small-ish Arachnos themed SG on Excel. "Shades of Arachnos". Send me a tell in-game if you want in. Most of the RP stuff goes on at the Everlasting server if you're looking more for that kind of thing.

    Our base passcode, 1-6811

  10. I'd definitely play AR if it worked more like powers in Arachnos Soldier.

    My suggestions, Increase AR dmg, reduce cool-down of powers or add a similar CD reducing mechanic as OP suggested.

    Get rid of the bean-bag and replace it with another gun animation. Call it "Suppressive Fire" or something.

    ...and while it is very popular, I actually think it's in a good place and I don't feel like I see much of it in the wild...

     

    The numbers really speak for themselves here. TW is an outlier. it's OP. Everyone knows it, but not everyone will admit it.
