The size of the graphics is a real problem for short characters. If you have a minimum height character and someone on the team uses earth control near you, you can't see the mobs.

I have a lvl 48 Illusion/Poison/Stone. It's pretty darn survivable in melee range. With 5 procs in Poison Trap, everything but the bosses dies almost immediately.

I know it's been talked about. I see nothing in the patch notes or the beta patch notes. Proof?

Alternatively, you can take Power Build Up instead of Soul Drain. PBU makes it easier to softcap defense with Farsight, and also buffs many of your other buffs and debuffs.

Reducing Umbral Torrent by 20 feet and increasing TT by 10-20 feet isn't balance neutral? If TT is going to stay at a 40-foot radius, its damage should be buffed. Frost Breath, Fire Breath, Electron Haze, Flamethrower and Steam Spray all do substantially more damage at a 40 foot radius.

I took another look at this. I think the metric you want to compare is not the area within the cone, but the chord length (straight line) or arc length (curved line) at the end of the cone. This tells you how wide an area the cone will hit at maximum range. This is what we currently have: Radius Arc Chord Length Arc Length Torrent/Umbral Torrent 80 30 41.41 41.89 Tenebrous Tentacles 40 40 27.36 27.93 Night Fall 60 20 20.84 20.94 With respect to Torrent and Umbral Torrent, if you reduce the radius from 80 to 60 feet without increasing the arc, you're nerfing the power by reducing the width from 41 to 31 feet. To maintain roughly the same width at a 60 foot radius, you need to increase the arc to 40 degrees. Here's what you end up with at various combinations of radius/arc: Radius Arc Chord Length Arc Length 40 50 33.81 34.91 40 60 40.00 41.89 50 40 34.20 34.91 50 45 38.27 39.27 50 50 42.26 43.63 60 30 31.06 31.42 60 35 36.09 36.65 60 40 41.04 41.89 My recommendations would be: Torrent/Umbral Torrent: Leave alone OR reduce radius to 60 feet and increase arc to 40 degrees Tenebrous Tentacles: Increase radius to 50 feet and increase arc to 45 or 50 degrees OR increase radius to 60 feet and leave arc at 40 degrees Night Fall: Maintain radius at 60 feet, increase arc to 40 degrees

I don't really disagree with any of your points, however, I've really been enjoying abusing the hell out of Umbral Torrent. I've got a bunch of +range slotted (so 80 is enhanced to 103 feet) plus a KB>KD. Point it at a group and they all flop. Not sure I could hit so many if I had to fire it from closer in.

The problem with Sonic isn't the IO sets it accepts (although you can slot Force Feedback into Shockwave). Its got 3 short cones, 2 of which do crap damage. Its got a virtually no-damage stun (compare Screech to Cosmic Burst or Abyssal Gaze). Its got no snipe.

What would they do? Resistance debuffs are universally set to ignore enhancements. Other blast sets don't have secondary effects at all (Archery, Fire), or have secondary effects that can't be enhanced (-recharge in Psychic and Ice), yet nobody considers them underperforming (well, maybe Archery). Fire outperforms every other blast set and needs no help.

Another vote for minimal fx on rock armor.

There is no reason for this. Paralytic Poison is a ST hold with no damage. Should absolutely be able to accept controller ATOs.

I've got 6 people on ignore. It's pretty rare, but I will ignore people for being jerks. Like quitting in the middle of a TF and then showing up in LFG chat looking for a team. Or insisting on running content at +4 when the team is clearly not up to it and is serially wiping.

Pretty much always been like this. I spam the heck out of my ST immobilize whenever I run this.

Yes

My Fire/Time Corruptor doesn't have hasten. Frankly, I find Chrono Shift to be kinda "meh". I certainly don't need it up all the time for the set to perform well.

I'm having the same debate on my Dark/TA. I feel like Blaster's Wrath should be slotted in Abyssal Gaze. If I want to slot the full set, I need to give up the Ghost Widow's Embrace proc. Defiant Barrage would then go in Gloom. My Ice/Temp has Defiant Barrage in Freeze Ray and Blaster's Wrath in Bitter Ice Blast.

I've got a SR/Staff tank. Running endurance form was very helpful until I got all my IO set bonuses. Generally run damage most of the time now.

Not needed. You can craft all alpha slot abilities using either shards or threads. If you use threads, you can use empyrean merits to produce the rare and very rare components.

Occasionally I'll get two out at the same time, but usually it's just one. I have it slotted in Crushing Field.

It spawns a pet that has a stun and minor damage aura. It hangs around for about 10 seconds. It looks cool but it's not very useful.

I don't think the sound needs to be changed, but the relative volume needs to be turned down. It's much louder than other power SFX.

You don't have to do raids. Just run MLTF or LRSF and choose HO as the reward.

Have you found any you can't buy in the AH?

Time's Juncture is a 25 foot PBAoE. I've never found it to be particularly good at grounding fliers.
