Pfft, no body mentions Crosspunch from Fighting. Fast recharge, decent wide cone, and nice quick animation...very easy to line up then Mu/Maul. Doesn't hit hard, but it is back up fast and 3/5 times guaranteed you are gonna hit more than 2 targets with a nice knockdown added in.

I started using a taunt IO in burn when the change to Burn happened awhile back do to a bug, it made "fire fear" terrible for awhile. Didn't help to much with the IO, sometimes they would bolt and keep running to the other side of the AE map; not sure if it helped that the guy who designed this map might of given the NPCs swift/quick-innate speed; they have a SR aura around them sometimes and I don't know the full power line up (they seems to have a blaze/snipe as well). Anyway, the taunt didn't seem to help that much (and like it actually made it worse sometimes) until I took it out about 2 weeks ago and now I see very few run off; with the IO I would see them lining up and bolting like a 1000m dash while team mates pass each other a baton. In missions, I don't notice to much as they die real fast but my farmer is a SS/Fire (an odd ball with less AoE to spines/claws yet easier to use and the Footstomp has that knock down control to keep them in place)

I see what you are saying. I wasn't saying the damage itself, more so like the random chance it goes off. Hell, even a 25% baddie won't even "Scourge" if you hit so hard, you see double damage numbers flying from the first hit which could of been far past the actual amount (25% health which is 100hp, 101 damage attack, SCOURGE 202...didn't really scourge as the initial damage killed it, just a flashy number to look cool). Oh yeah, boss or higher is where it shines. Lieutenants are just minions with a +rank when it does off. T9 as in an attack? Or ranked up incarnate ability ? I have no idea about incarnate powers really as they didn't exist when I stopped playing around I13/14 and we did things the hard way; punch them repeatedly until they hit the ground. Only have a farmer who has Incarnate which I am still working on, I get bored and jump around with a lot of alts around level 40; which I really want to get back to one of them...but alas there is another one I must always start 😪

Scourge doesn't double the damage, it works like scrapper crits with a random roll of the dice and then doubles the damage of the attack starting at 50% health. It is also very finky, it may not even go off at all based on NPC hitpoints that trigger it until very low health well passed half heath of the target. If anything, consider scourge to be like a built in proc.

I can tell you this, there is a lot more source material out there if you look hard enough 😒

Seeing as how water blast is OP in versatility and awesomeness, you can't NOT skip anything. Also, because awsome.

If you want to keep a name, better keep an alt on a server. Your main Soandso may be on Server1, you move to Server2 where it may/may not be available; but leaving Server1 leaves the name open to who ever wants it. Simple solution is change the name of the main character, transfer off, and name the alt as the name to hold it.

lolno Not every mission would require blitzing, so pets isn't always needed unless clearing a mission completely. Now if your group is speeding a TF for merits, it isn't really necessary except when needed. They are gonna kill that AV fast so yeah you need them or rescue a hostage that is clear the single boss group at the and is 6 babbling minons need for 5 minutes in a mission? Escorted hostages, yeah your gonna need to clear the mission.

Try not running -Dark Embrace -Death Shroud -Murky Cloud -Obsidian Shield -Cloak of Darkness -Cloak of Fear -Oppressive Gloom -Combat Jumping -Maneuvers -Weave -Tough -Ninja Running -Sprint All at the same time, but I don't know which you have/use. Could do without the utility abilities minus the cloak, got to squeeze in the standard staple power pool picks for +def that most people build into. That is just a massive amount of toggles.

3 endurance reduction on CJ is over kill, you could go commando with nothing. Slot a luck of the gambler and move 2 slots.

Well, people have gotten used to easy mode, they need a challenge instead faceroll on AFK mode. Best approach is to Gibson Head Slap and face the challenge head on. Counter proposal to stacking issue Change buff to an NPC special ability, not a copy reduce the +def, still stacks Shorten the duration, slows down group without the frustation Really reduce the diameter when it drops, forgot the superman mode when you buff an entire room....el3\/entibiLL0n × infinity Problem to not stacking, completely does nothing with incarnate abilities and the amount of +tohit/accuracy. You can't fix stupid. The new "meta" of dumb down games just leads to the lowest common denominator. My biggest beef with F2P games is the lack of challenge, starts to feel like a child playing in a ball pit and easy to lose interest. Best option is to change the buff like I suggested, any type of change if not mine instead of a single crappy cast of Veng you are going to steamroll through anyway.

Escape tool? Unless the animation is long, why would anyone take it aside that.

Stealth blitzing would assume you dismiss and resummon when you need them? Otherwise if you are running SS while cleaning the mission of baddies front to back....turn off SS? You got to be more clear as what the problem is in a mission, if you are just facerolling the mission it isn't a big issue as everyone/thing is AoE kills and getting 1-2shots off so lagging pets would not be an issue.

Notsurewhatyouaresaying.meme You remember it did or did not phase? I know they did in the past; level of eyebrow twitching anger post 40 for annoying factions Carnie Devouring Earth dropped buff plants Nemesis Malta Malta is easier (like 5th Column) then the rest minus the sappers and the teleporting cowboys, that stupid hold and wears off before you can mez them they port off or stunned during their animation.

Reduce level difficulty, your damage doesn't reduce and does more vs the lower NPC health. Change Boss and the EB setting. Everything is now easier. Problem solved. More minions are dead before the LT and you are left with a boss. That's the more annoying part, of course you could kill the boss first then faceroll the minions. But you know; lack of tactics and being used to Incarnate badass faceroll mode dumbs down the game. If you don't have the time in life to go get a sandwich while Veng wears off you could avoid Nemesis.

Try water/Martial combat, fun times. Water only if you prefer; kinda OP in versatility in debuff/KB/heal and combo effects.

And Cryptic is mourning the loss of such talent they could of used back in the day....

tl;d realize - first come, first serve. Doubtful you would like losing your seat at the movies if someone forced you to move. Someone decides to take your car, are you squatting on it while it sits in your driveway? You are not using it.....confusing definition but only saying, if its not being used doesn't mean someone can take it. Does it suck? Sure. Doesn't mean you are entitled to that specific name. There are a ton of resources available to generate a name to your liking. Everyone just seems to desire another personals name when in fact they can make up something of their own. -Thesaurus -Different language -Punctuation mark -Obscurification with alternate letters like capital i or lowercase L -Name the character as a relative of the one you had on Live To clear it up, Humans are not as clever as everyone thinks; when a person thinks they did it first when in fact there is a good chance that someone else did it already. Chopsticks/Fork are no different than a Chimp with a stick they jammed in an ant hill. So many original ideas are just the same thought made by someone else. I am neither against or for it, people just have to get over the fact someone else has a name until a forced change is implemented. Calling it squatting is stupid, someone claimed it first regardless if they play it or not. No need to get angry and annoyed about it, I have gotten 50 different names in reserve at the moment of which 40 are not part of my stable of characters from Live on Triumph (Go Triumphs!). I am happy I managed to get a new list of original names I never used before, annoyed that I couldn't get my main from Live but I would not want to take it from someone that has it first Get creative people! Find a name already open and enjoy the fact that it is original, then play it to 50. Problem solved.

** their stacking vengeance, especially when playing against large groups of nemesis is very annoying. ** ION JUDGMENT!!!!! is kinda a lack of judgment when everyone is throwing AoE around like it is New Year's Eve in high end groups. And they are used to it. Full on Incarnate I don't know their ability to hit when +def is through the roof, kinda a penalty for being a bad ass if it's a problem. Not so much at lower levels, still sucks. I remember back in the day killing priority targets first (sapper) or saving for last ( Veng Lt), separating when necessary (Malta robots). Now? WTFBBQ ROFLCOPTER faceroll keyboard licking easy mode; everyone is used to being a bad ass forgetting tactics. Edit: Damn phone is pain to edit with

I don't know you why quoted me but maybe missed the joke I attempted to make, I know about Knives of Artemis and the caltrop patches as jacks.

Oh a new powerset! Pistol Whipping! Unloaded pistol thats like War Mace but much faster recharge. Maybe like 2 or 3 short ranged attacks, would be awesome!

What? I like to play jacks with the girls, was a challenge when they threw out a few hundred caltops.

Looking at it, it is probably not considered an "recipe" in the code like other recipes. With no required salvage, it just adds directly to the character "You have X number of free respecs" when you use it. Kinda like when you get a free costume coupon from the winter packs, sits in the mail until you claim and then "You have X number of free tailor sessions" is tied directly to that one character only. Can you mail it to an alt to hold? You get 7 free respecs and 3 trials to get them, plus the 3 alternate build types (have to pick powers and slot, just like a respec but can change for free from one build to another and back). At 140k to "craft" and 1 million cost on the AH its kinda pointless to horde them, lots of possibilities unless you are respecing like a woman shoe shopping.

I could agree with this. Except for the prestige powers, just delete them from the game but whatever floats your boat. - 2 that sorta look like invulnerable. They almost look the same. - 1 that sorta looks like super reflex, don't see the point. - 1 shit slide, the first one. I cringe every time I saw people with it. It was just horrible particle effects with that color. - 1 Quick type, that looks the nice. I just stick with good old sprint, looks like a normal person. On top of beast/ninja, you got a mini-jump/SS power. Let beast/ninja just use the normal sprint animation with the normal sprint speed added....I would be in heaven. Gonna have to reroll this low level character, I don't want to see 5 travel powers in my power selection I am barely gonna use. Would be nice if you could select each from P2W or revoke it instead of getting all of them.
