Sonic is ok but it requires a semi-big bank account or some serious dedication and/or thought. The global pet based IOs are a huge must. 10+10+10(15 catalyst)% resists are huge for both Thermal and Sonics. Making your pets tough is a huge bonus. Also picking the primary to stack resistances helps. the -resist toggle needs a melee type pet or finding out what pets do not need to be at a range. Examples: Mercs: The Spec Ops DO NOT need to be at a range. Their AoEs are Target AoEs (fireball, explosive blast, etc). Meanwhile your Commando is very Cone based (fire/ice breath and so on) making your commando a bad Disruption Field target Bots: Your prot bots also do not have cone attacks, making them OK to send into melee for disrupt field. also an added bonus: the prot bots drones summon their seeker drones on themelves. and in melee it makes it so they have a better chance to hit more targets rest of the sets have a nice dedicated melee pet to do the job eh.. Demons and Beasts get the most benefit from Sonic reso due to inherent resist stacking, sonic bubbles and IO buffs. Necro sounds nice but smash/neg/psi/toxic damage enemy groups are rare. Pets have a 90% resist cap. With all that said, try Robot/Trick arrow. Not only does Flash Arrow 'add' to bots Defenses you also get Oil Slick arrow later to really feel the power of stacking DoTs. And glue arrow helps keep things in your assbots fire patches and your fire patch.

Those Stamina and Regeneration procs only effect you and only when you use said powers. So whenever you resummon your repair drone only you get the +regen. or if you use upgrade robots only you get +rec/regen Mark of Supremacy's regen will be for your pets Assault can be taken later. people praise it because they think they are adding like 15-200% damage because so many pets and team members but in reality its basically adding a DO's worth of damage, and for pets that have a low base damage is not much. maybe a travel power? Force Bombs radius is smaller than other aoes. it sounds great on paper but you wont always hit max targets Your epic pool can be switched to Mace Mastery for +smash/lethal defense and power boosted bubbles

For Stalkers: One of the major things that puts me off to old/launch stalker primaries was giving up their PBAOE for placate/AS and yes they were an afterthought when i made this thread Replace Vengeful Slice with Typhoon's Edge Assassin's Strike > Vengeful Slice = Attack Vitals. With ATO1 in mind this should be a nice serious bosskiller with or without. Placate > Nimble Slash = Empower, remember i suggested it last 30 seconds. Also I do not know the name of the mechanic where Fiery Embrace adds scaling fire damage to your attacks. I would suggest that mechanic add damage to the Placate > Nimble Slash combo while under Placate. a double crit. Another example of what im trying to convey is being a Gravity Controller. Containment damage + impact

Make everything 2 parters. 3 part combos just dont fit with the speed of the game. after 5 seconds combos drop off and rarely does one in a large group have time for that kinda setup. I tried to split the difference here having 1k cuts split into two branches for 3 part combos, but not much would be lost if said combos drop off. on top of all that im kinda tired of skipping minor damage attacks and thought Nimble Slash could get love/use Nimble Slash > Blinding Feint = 30 second Buildup, due to too many ATs I dont want to get into number specifics. 20% seems too low for brutes, but 50% seems too much for scrappers. Please keep in mind Blinding Feint also has +dmg Power Slice > Sweeping Strike = Attack Vitals, increased cone width Ablating Strike > Vengeful Slice = Cripple (new). foe -speed, -resist, -defense Nimble Slash > Typhoon's Edge = Vortex, minor -tohit for enemies, +def for user and draw-in. I wanted draw-in here to set up a better 1k cuts One Thousand Cuts > Nimble Slash = Empowered Slash (new), adds lethal damage to Nimble Slash and using Nimble Slash here can set up Vortex or Buildup combos oh god i forgot about stalkers

Exploration Badges Now grant 1 bar of Patrol XP (instead of a scaling amount of XP based on your level) what are the rules with this? do they stop at a certain level? is it each exploration badge or just a zone-cluster or whatever its called? do you only get the patrol exp with the tip? im fine with having over 500 exploration badges because thats 50 levels worth of rested exp and or maybe lots of vet levels or maybe downloading that maps addon so you can hit up exploration badges while on a task force on the way to missions really maxing gains per run im not hyyperventalating typing this

Exploration Badges Now grant 1 bar of Patrol XP (instead of a scaling amount of XP based on your level Is this per accolade or per badge? --- Is there a level limit on this? because 50s with a few hundred bars of patrol exp might be a little much. ---

@Ghost, @Greycat I meant to say Moonwalk

Issue 27 page 5 introduced -defense to Fiery Melee sword attacks. So if you are running an old farm thats probably whats getting you

Whats it called when freshly hatched ducklings attach to a human due to first introduction? I wish Imprintation was a word. Because thats it. In World of Warcraft people love Classic to death, less like TBC and less WOTLK In second anecdote people loved the vanilla and didnt care as much as chocolate because chocolate leads to marshmallows... or strawberry. -- enter tldr zone -- I do not care at all about stories in MMOs. I always forget, misremember or only remember certain bits like Countess Crey having visible nipples_through_clothing and getting killed and replaced by a lookalike. That said I do not remember what I did with The Radio or the Television or the dude in the cartruck in any amount of detail without googling it. Wanna know the only SSA I can recall offhand? The one with the fake nem farms. Thats it. Oh and the one where superman dies I love MMOs for the grind and rpg growth feelgoodtimes. Hitting up a nice smooth non-speed synapes at level 15 but leaving at level 28. or doing it as the wst on a 50 that has 8-10 bars of patrol exp to gain a vet level, a nice chunk of merits and an alpha rare thing whos name escapes me now. Or taking my twinked bard to slaughter goblins for 6 or so hours solo singing songs of pacify, haste and crippling. or logging on my wookie sharpshooter with a bio-engineered rancor pet dicking around Rori harvesting some good spawning leather while it lasts. I LOVE task forces for that same feeling of character growth, for both experience and currency, but Red Side is built for skipping and speeding everything as well as overdesigned horse shit that borders anti-fun territory. As a mastermind main I look at every single SF with disdain and disgust. Virgil: that outdoor mission to find the construction workers is just a pain in the ass due to being CoT debuffing to hell or teammates blowing it up by the time im done animating my summons. On top of that the last mission was not built for masterminds in mind. That one slow moving flaming testicle preferring to stay in the burning hot pet-fear causing lava is enough to why even do this WST when heroside has more plain jane ones. Mantis: that last mission on the boat with fire patch and toxic patch spitting turrets that cause pets to run in all directions including the Z-axis to just fucking die Kal: i dont know why we still have unlockable task forces in the future but we do Renault: the last missions water spouts just throw minions everywhere. and when their AI takes over to climb back up they will run into another spout. basically taking the pets out of the fight And again with the final room crap: ice mistrals rube goldburg room of resummoning And lastly, i fucking love mayhem missions so much. safeguards suck. And im not going to get into the unfun villain groups from the -resist stacking goldbrickers and wailers to the superfast super accurate slags only because i got bored typing

i guess use a backpack of some sort and try out /sonic

boomtown, eden and thirdname was here first

360 and walk away from a herding tank

yes squarelike leather backpacks single shoulder backpacks those tactical cylinder looking ones animal backpacks two straps connected to an ammo crate something anything other than just the school backpack

on one hand i have a thousand or so posts about minor things that i would like changed on the other hand the kheld vanity posts are getting to me

4pt will protect you from most of the games knockback 8pt will protect you from higher level things (+2 or so) like 5th/council robots or rocket/grenadeers 12pt is a little overkill because if you get knocked back by something it was most likely designed to knock anyone down. that said my ranged do fine with 4pt and my dark/fire armor melee do fine with 8pt i dont do 12pt anymore on recent wave of respecs

Compromise post: One person cannot fill more than one role at a time. Melee - St Ranged Support actually i got bored typing this out as it hurts mastermind mondays. either by denying them a prism or taking along a token melee guy

My point was anytime there is a carrot on a stick, no matter the quality of the carrot, someone will go above and beyond to get it and go just as beyond if they dont get it. I also do not know if this Class Checker thing still works if someone leaves/quits mid-TF

This makes me slightly fearful because I just like inviting the first 7 people that send a tell. or just joining someone else without an AT resume oh but kelika2 its just a small reward lmao people still freak out in dfb when a cadaver dies. some folks still think the death ticker and timer in TFs mean something this little carrot on a stick really is striking fear into me of backseat gamers getting mad over a prismatic and i dont see what new people will gain from this dont be the wrong AT at the time of recruitment? be what the rest of the team wants you to be for loot? go away sorry, others want loot there are few group leaders as it is and putting this added level of pressure on them for a prismatic sounds worse than the holy trinity even looking at the requirements makes me grind my teeth since both of my khelds dont even have dwarf form anymore it takes careful planning to have a fully ranged dominator you have to go out of your way as a controller to not be classified as a support character the base damage on khelds non-squid attacks are so low what is my Wolf Spider build with a Bane power(buildup) classified as? So unless ATs spread out more to cover more notches this sounds like a bad idea and it just gets confusing with build specific stuff like all epic ATs Like, everyone LOVED the Tanker melee damage dmg/range increase patch Scrappers still have taunt and some taunt auras. oh and khelds dont have a taunt aura still Most people select Corrs because of their secondaries. While Ice Shields and chill doesnt sound very support-like people love that fire n forget crap argh beast. ninja and necro masterminds maybe instead of using Archetype symbols you can change that up to the character creation symbols of Melee, Ranged, Support and maybe Tank

Change Heavy Blow to Shocklance. Basically Bayonet with a Taser. Or whip out the old blaster Taser animation I was playing Tribes earlier and it just came to me for some reason.

Can Storm Cell move faster? Jet Streams repel is the one thing stopping me from making more Storm alts. And even if the Repel got removed there are still debuffs and damage effects lost from a slow moving Storm Cell And if that cannot happen, how about an animation trimming + recharge reduction in Storm Cell to force it around.

Oh god I have so many Mind Control characters to rebuild and make.

The only thing I want changed in Storm Blast is removing the -repel in Jet without having to wait on Storm Cell to move

I dunno man. You took my "dont freak out" (nut) to a level it did not need to go to. Dont throw quotes in a glass house

Do it too much and why even dominator AT Leave it as it is and your only option is a Fire/Trick troller for damage Few complained about tanker damage since their buff, and they are just supposta tank according to old MMO/RPG mentalities

Fiery Aura.
