Energy Blast: Swap Explosive Blast and Power Push Gravity Control: Wormhole and Dimension Shift Invulnerability: Invincibility and Resist Energies Cold Domination: Frostwork and Sleet Illusion control: one of the invis abilities and Spectral Terror Staff Fighting: Serpent's Reach and Innocuous Strikes Mind Control: Telekinesis and Terrify Thermal: Thaw and Forge Super Strength: Jab and Punch. Hand Clap and Rage. Knockout Blow and Foot Stomp. 3 in 1 so here: Jab is useless on SS. Boxing which you are going to take anyways does more damage than Punch. For tankers, this frees up a power selection slot, for brutes, nothing changes. Examples of other sets having the stronger attack at tier1: Broadsword, Katana, Energy Melee. Hand Clap is 99% useless, swapping these two does not do much for brutes in the way of Rage. but for tanks it has it available before level 20(15) when exemped. Before you say anything, note Rage will not be perma at lower levels Swapping KO Blow and Foot Stomp makes everyones lives better. This game is all about AoE damage and pushing SS's aoe to 32/38 really sucks ass for the 10-25 TFs, which are coming up in a few weeks I think. Tanks get it at 20, and brutes at level 8.

Regen with Absorb effects makes me think of wounds scabbing over creating a little shield

Ditch the ranged attacks or speed up their animations. Id love to get the Whirling Smash thing that mace has or even a second melee cone the two AoEs are low damage, but fast recharge with horrible activation times and they do not minicrit from Cloak

At least bump up Full Auto or Throw Spines to 16 (from 10). But to the OP, many Cones are half the recharge of Targeted AoE and generally less end cost but roughly the same damage. Not all tho.

How do you know they are not? For all you know they are fire farmed in 2 hours to 50 alts, never left atlas, no enhancements, probably not even fully trained up

FF14 had a semi unique answer to names. a first and last name. In this case, why not slap your Global Handle on everything you type/in your info Not on your characters head, not in a group/league. Sure there might be the big battle of the Goku's now and again but damnit I know more than a handful of names are still being held by level 1s who dont even play the game/shard/HCservers anymore

Rise of the Phoenix with Overwhelming Force is still throwing many many enemies back and away Bonfire with Sudden Acceleration just flat out seems to not work anymore Seeing some enemies being thrown around by Energy Torrent/Explosive Blast both with SA enhancements - Defeated Enemies still ragdolling is normal, nevermind this one Nova, Dawnstrike and Eclipse are all high chance of knocking back all with 5/6 obliteration and 1 SA KB to KD

I think -end and -recovery on enemies are nice side little bonuses like fire's dot or cold's -spd/rech. its cool to see them kinda work but not worth slotting for. elec blast has been a solid set since the instant snipe patch pair it with /energy and blap a bit pair it with /fire and be a pbaoe god pair it with /elec and wish you went /energy because your +end/recovery power is at level 35 and they get theirs at 16 pair it with /psi so you can have another ranged aoe and yet another pbaoe and call yourself the Synaptic Something Having enemies at zero end all the time falls way back on the "fighting statues" bit which got trollers nerfed in early issues in the first place.

ooookay 9 attacks 3 sets lotta numbers and then 3 attacks.. divided by.. or multiplied with a decimal or negative integers times 3 yeah its more than 1.5 bitches, ill give ya that.

lolno the summoning animations x3 + upgrade animation x2 < others woulda killed said speed target already. synapes, ITF, LGTF the list can go on for the 3 enemy hostage, or a boss room, or a blahblahblah

Came here to ask this, but i cant even login.

Maybe it is time to make it 20 to 1. Reasons: 1.) playerbase died down a lot. while there used to be 3000 people per server, its more like 1500 across 4 servers now 2.) still a nice chunk of merits in the 20to1 ratio. Hami Raids take maybe 20-30 minutes and yield 160 merits. a 20to1 ratio will be roughly in this range. I will be the first to admit I never went to a shipraid in months because of the nerf +... 3.) the lack of interest in MSR. It is painful as hell to watch a MSR spam for hours, meanwhile a hami raid doesnt even have to recruit anymore and guaranateed to fill, start and finish before the designated start time 4.) the other rewards are not really worth it salvage sack was phased out from paragon point storage increases merged into base game 99% of people use threads to make alpha slot stuff the temp pet is rarely used due to 1. forgetfulness 2. master of locking them away 3. incarnate stuff being more than enough other rewards i cant even remember. there was a bomb maybe i guess So please, consider 20:1 v:m ratio in the future

If I remember right, Back Alley Brawler said this was a bitch and a half to animate for those 3 attacks/1 buff So good luck getting a buncha volunteers to add 6 other attack animations to this.

Joke masterminds, pimps/whores thugs, bikini babes with guns, robots as giant dildos (spectrum flesh with white slime auras), bikinis the same color as skin tone demon females. yeah sure you will see these but these are the kinda alts that barely make it out of atlas due to "hey i did this its time to move on to another alt/another game" But the masterminds who will at least make it to end game will be more creative Ninjas who are more stealthy, more ninja like or mind controlled office workers under your command Thugs who make Clown Masterminds a thing. dont tell me you never thought of the arsonist to be a flame thrower or the bruiser to be a stronkman Mercs who are more green or more official. dont tell me you never thought of a merc mastermind who are bodyguards or longbows Demons with the plethora of demon options we have now (hopefully with a smaller .. size radius) Clockwork robots, motherfucking preatorian robots, cyborgs built for defeatingmaking robot masterminds ALL CATGIRL MASTERMINDS or all cat masterminds whatever. crazy cat ladies or lunatic cat bros RPing as the final fantasy 14's gentleman zombie squad leader or a necromancer of necromaniconimancy of ye elden yesteryear who time traveled because reasons Minion customization is something that would breathe some sorta life into this dead as fuck archetype that is further outclassed by incarnate abilities and the ever evolving "speed only tf gatta get this done now" mentality of the shrinking playerbase.

" It's also important to remember that stacked resistance debuffs always use the undebuffed resistance value when calculating resistance." I do not see where -resist is multiplicative with +DMG buffs on that page

Elec blast already had a few buffs: Short Circuit being quicker ticking as well as number of ticks condensed Ball Lightning being mostly front loaded damage Instant snipes The only thing that is shitty about elec blast is the pet long animation short pet duration high end cost cannot control And with the right secondary (/energy and /fire for example) you dont even need the pet or returned "sapped" endurance since [Energize], [Blazing Aura] and [Many other Blaster Secondary +end/recov] abilities. My Elec/Fire is a PBAoE King as it is Said proposed +end changes would just get rid of the need to slot miracle/numina two final points: 99% of mobs dont last long enough to see zero end. most important mobs can still attack without end/have low/NORMAL TO US end cost attacks while having a gigantic end pool ex: boss tier enemies have 200 end, eb/avs have like 500-800 end pools and even a minor +end tick can end up being 50-75 end to them. May not sound like a lot but NPCs also follow the percent based regen/recov mechanic

+Jump added to Nova Forms for Flight Control Taunt Aura added to Dwarf forms White Dwarf getting another melee attack instead of a heal

Something new, I will give you that. But spines/fire/pyre will always pull ahead. The "no building of said mechanic after using mechanic" shit is what pulls savage melee down across the board across all archetypes. But Tough serves ZERO purpose in fire farm only characters. Cave/moon are 100% fire damage. those slots are best used elsewhere. no, 6%~ fire def is not worth it Vengeance is horseshit as well. 7.5% lotf is not enough to justify it ZERO knockback in firefarm maps as well Melt armor is ONLY -9.75% resist. Please note that ALL BUFFS AND DEBUFFS ARE FROM BASE, PRE-ENHANCEMENT DAMAGE. that -9.75% WILL NOT BE NOTICEABLE WHEN YOU ARE RUNNING 200+% FURY. Example, a +11% damage and -11% resist (controller/mastermind assault/melt armor) are literally the same. Meaning, you WILL get more mileage out of Assault on all the time even with Brute numbers Consume is up there on the uselessness menu because insps, solo or group, will drop like rain. You should always be spamming the F1 key when fire farming to eat whatever falls into said slot Add an extra RECH to BuildUp/Embrace (2 max). Agility Alpha will take care of the rest Panacea in health is NOT required as its chance is EITHER OR hp/end a 10s tick. meaning you can get both a tick, or one a tick. You WILL NOT ever need more than miracle/numina in health in fire farms only character

Other than Invul brutes/scrappers (28) - thats right, no taunt aura for you for anything below level 23. regen brutes/scrappers (28) super reflex scrapper/stalker (level 35 for aoe def omg)

Swap Thaw and Forge. Wont effect defenders much, but it gives Trollers, Corrs and Masterminds to be more useful sub level 23 (exemp) Add +resist to all but PSI to Forge. Trying to make it somewhat on par with Fortitude while not stepping on the toes of Sonic Resonance. Right now its kinda crap, the +dmg is negligible and the +tohit is not great/useful at higher levels. And even with a perma hasten build, should never have it on more than 4 targets. Power of the Phoenix: Remove the knockback or make it .67 mag, or allow it to accept Knockback enhancements for Sudden Acceleration. Melt Armor: Cooldown reduced or make it a toggle. Right now the -def does not help as much as you think since the power is available in the 30s, where most get their IOs and while -22% resist is neato but diminished by the cooldown.

Can the devs apply this mechanic to pets? The current pets I can think of who suffer from the old 'turn off on defeat' crap: Ninjas: Oni > Rain of Fire Ninjas: Jounen > Caltrops Illusion: Phantasm > the clones/duplicates Right Side Rularuu Lore: > i cant remember, but its a shadow based rain of fire that debuffs. i switched lore because this would go away upon target enemy death There are probably others, but I hope the point got across

I did not even read the post, only the headline. And I have to say: Fuck. That. Shit. Tanks back then being cunts and herding entire maps for 10-15 minutes IS NOT FUN and as it is, I see my fair share of Brutes/Tanks trying to herd in various situations. The 16 target limit is fun, includes the rest of the group and is not a stall for the rest of the team. You, as the tank, might think not having an agro limit is fun but fuck that shit as a whole. Going group-to-group is the way city of heroes needs to be.

Nope, /ignore <character name> also ignores the @handle

How do you ignore someones character, without ignoring their entire account/@handle? Situation: Really cool person on my server, i join their groups, they join mine, see them very often. But recently on one character they took up spamming all the chats all the time for a supergroup and another person constantly does the same thing about costume contests, all chats really hard, very often.

I have been thanked for removing people with Hurricane on all the time. Frequent users of Dimension Shift and yes, even Energy Blasters. Its bullshit to you because you dont want it to be true. Because you cannot refute them other than calling them bullshit I have never ever once had someone else leave/or the group falling apart because I removed someone being a detriment/troll/bad player And you are correct, I hate knockback. Not sure why it had to be said by you since it was said by me the entire thread.
