I am a solid 70 or 80 alts into HC and not one of them ever taken the presence pool. But if you are mostly a soloist you can do whatever you want but between fighting, speed, travel, epic and planning out set bonuses ahead of time there is very little if any room for gimmicks even then, when something is feared it can still attack back now and again and placate goes away over the smallest of things like a damage aura or another dot out like caltrops

yeah

and lift

Because this idea is still not even in mids yet. im getting real bored just thinking of anything at this point im also throwing around the idea of a psi/psi dom and slotting dominate and mezmerize for damage to stay 99% ranged

Between permadom and the fact not a lot of things in this game lasts to full duration anyways I been thinking of a fire/fire dom with fire cages, flashfire, char and ring of fire slotted for damage, maybe even bonfire.

Yeah so many of them do. I think kin/bio and stj/shield are my most played stalkers because of that. But AS might end up looking like someone swinging a golf club

Id rather give up Pendulum for AS. And slap Cleave at level 32 The lack of simple easy to use PBAoEs are a big reason I skip many stalker sets and giving up Whirling Axe is an automatic skip

You are not wrong. I dont like it either but thats why I have a firefarming account. As long as you plan out your build with exemplaring in mind its not bad.

As for the level 47 thing, every AT blooms at max level with all their slots and masterminds just shine a little harder at 50 vs one just leveling. And as for set bonuses, I just dont go for them because they do not effect pets. And even if they did 3 IO sets (most of the time) will not be anywhere as good as jamming in 3-6 globals into 3 pets. Take a few of my corrs for example, some just do not have any Defense slottable abilities other than [Weave] on a few of them. Now do I want a 5/6 or 6/6 Red Fortune set? Or should I slap in 2 Cytos, a LOTG7.5/def, a shield wall and reactive defenses proc? thats 3 goodies jammed into 5 slots on top of [weave]s defense, way better than Red Fortune can do

Speed TFs Excessive caltrops/rains Slow pet movement Hamis. Most of my pets follow this general slotting formula, each set is different in some way, however acc/dmg hami acc/dmg hami acc/dmg/end IO/ATO 3 procs/globals, generally whatever is needed Going through how I slot each primaries pets is going to take way too long. even then for recharge intensive pets I go 4/6 ATO1 and focus on acc/dmg/rech, and 2/6 ATO2 to fill out the rest to really max out recharge on said powers while still raking in two 10% rech bonuses

I can only recall the /dev blaster web nade getting toxic damage added to it to get more inline with other blaster secondary t1s. But damn, even a single target version added to Mercs would help them out. extreme dream version is an area wide toxic grenade for mercs

Area Wide Web grenade Web Cocoon Merc Spec Ops Web Grenade Mace Mastery I may have missed one or two variants but these would help each one of these a little bit but mercs tremendously. Area Wide Web Nade for Wolf Soldiers would keep them competitive to their Crab counterparts. While all 3 Soldier specs still have access to it, redraw will be an issue for crabs and banes Web Cocoon for Bane Spiders would help then a little bit. a single hold is just not that appealing to a mostly melee spec Mercs single target damage is crap, but giving them toxic/fire damage on their web grenades will help, and even upgrading said power to an AoE with damage would also help the set Im not going through every AT that has access to Mace Mastery's area web nade, but cant hurt anything to add a minor/moderate DoT.

Its not really mass. the current ingame version only hits 5 targets. Also unsure of its mag or if it stacks with itself since I personally never took said power. but I do like the idea of it possibly doing damage.

I am sure you can read this thread for others who wanted to contribute.. versus what you are doing and have done in the past. Maybe your idea on what this forum is about is off. You do not have to reply to everything, you do not have to give only negative feedback. You can just... not.

eh? I asked if you and others were because it would explain a lot. The taking the suggestions part of this forum way too seriously. You act as if you have a say in whether or not it even goes to the test server. it comes off very abrasive and antagonizing.

im not going through your 3k posts to prove a point to a thread thats going to probably get locked soon because this isnt the first time we been through this lets just get ready to assault another innocent post later and repeat the process again inb4 you ask another question you already know the answer to as a front of power

And pretending to be one while disguising it as conversation is insulting because it sounds like you were not aware of it until now most sets have a 1.5% s/l resist bonus which is super easy to max out. 2.25% is relatively underused fire and cold damage is.. pretty uncommon, meanwhile most healing set bonuses have this. energy resistances is what I really wanted from a new healing set, anything from various willpower alts to corrs. from posi to itf.. energy damage is there. And it took a few alts that accidentally stacked enough +dmg for me to notice it to want more. And the 6th set bonus being also an uncommon recharge bonus is there, but 6 slotting a power just for this will be tight enough for the player to make a choice. or not, if its a unique proc. Kensai mentioned a -regen resist maybe a flat 5% max hp maybe a 5% max end cant think of much else without stepping on other procs, but that didnt stop Impervious Skin from getting a Regen added to it

... are you, arcane, bopper, peregrine or any of the other forum regulars game devs using alt accounts? Because this would explain a lot over the past 3 years or so And in my mind, 99.9% of the suggestions on this forum just dont ever make it into the game, even the long winded threads. and to me, this is just something to put out there. I mean hell, when looking for an image to properly convey what I am trying to say.. someone monetized it! https://www.ebay.com/itm/333589087413

i think there is already a baseline on how sets work with little variance end/rech heal/end heal/rech heal heal/end/rech a proc, but we already have a regen, regen/recov, recov, a raw heal and an absorb proc already so ganna leave this blank but open but yeah, i just wanted a healing set that just does not suck

Im sure there is a formula for IO stats and stuff by now so ill skip the set bonuses 2 piece: 2.25% s/l resist 3 piece: 1.5% e/ne resist 4 piece: 1.5% c/f resist 5 piece: 3% damage bonus 6 piece: 7.5% recharge The Basilisk's Gaze Hold set has 7.5% rech and does not interfere with LOTG procs, so just keep that in mind before nutting. Also the thoughts behind this is that all healing set bonuses are kinda crap. +healing bonuses do not do much at all, even for emps who can slot a lot. +healing set bonuses does not effect regen, so regen aura, AB, painbringer, etc just flat out do not benefit from this. same goes for dull pain, true grit and so on While this does sound like another Regen thread, there are plenty of Armor sets with healing or health boosting effects out there as well as entire archetypes like corruptors who want to do a little more

Animation/activation time speedups for many things spines radiation infection dark toggle rising or whatever bitter freeze ray sonic stuff/alt animation sonic stuff project will etc im just too bored to type it out

Mesmerize - Bump it up to High damage Lift - Add a Mag1 hold, to stack with Dominate to hold a boss quickly Dominate - same Confuse - add a chain/jump effect up to 5 targets. This is to set it apart from Forts, Dark and Illusion Mass Hypnosis - unchanged Telekinesis - use the Singularities new draw-in effect for this on a target. Now assuming the effect would still stay on even after defeat like /radi or /dark toggles just imagine all the usefulness that toggle debuffs would get Total Domination - switch with Mass Confusion Terrify - add a -tohit debuff to this, the fear alone is junk and the psi dmg is meh Mass Confusion - same, but at level 18 Now, since Mass Confusion and Total Domination are both 4 minute cooldowns there should be no difference in control abilities at low or mid levels, but stacking confuse effects at a lower level would make Mind Control feel different than other sets Now, while this was typed with a Controller in mind I may as well talk about Dominators Mesmerize being High damage this can allow for some ranged only builds for Dominators Lift wont be much except a mag2 with Domination up. Sure it might stack up to be something And the Telekinesis change would be extremely helpful for bundling up for melee aoes

First time leveling and taking your time? /dark or /time Got a firefarming account ready to power you to 50 so you can get all slots and enhancements? /traps, /cold /dark and /time are just powerful to keep your pets alive and they all have something greatly overlooked, and that is a snarepit. At level 32 your assault bot has a bigass burn patch that spawns per enemy hit. fear effect takes hold and they scatter. dark pit, distortion, caltrops and sleet/snowstorm comes into play. Now, traps and cold are great but you need hamis and as many slots available to really cram in enhancements to get as much DEF as you can. cytos in prot bots, ribos+3 defs in fog, maneauvers slotted up, etc

as long as they toned down the crystal spawns im in. motherfucking cysts stopped a few posi and synapes in their tracks

staff/wp to remain 'natural' as possible. staff/fire to stack those dots staff/bio for stance dancing while you stance dance. but not really. red staff stance and offensive stance 95% of the time.
