It doesn't bother me at all with EM either. On teams I have almost enough recharge to ignore the long ET. There's technically 0.something seconds before TF recharges, but whatever. Solo, I often energy punch to fill in the gap since most enemies are either dead or at a tiny sliver of health at that point. Stalkers get to experience an entire powerset with no AoE. They changed it so even missed attacks count towards your combo for DB. For TW, momentum is just on a timer, and you get it even if you miss. It's 5 seconds for any momentum building attack and 10 seconds for using build up. Personally, I don't like the lockout mechanics in general. On my Psi/ stalker, I just ignore insight period. But even then, all it does it reduce the consistency of damage. I'd rather they just get rid of the mechanic entirely and just give a small boost to damage overall instead. Insight is just unfun, random, and almost pointless.

Didn't know that. I don't know my seafood well. Yeah, Bio has no DDR. This TF is suffering from that perspective, as all the melee attacks from the Cimms are also defense debuffs. I'm pretty sure my defense was in the red the entire time. I already have pretty sad S/L defense on this character for the sake of slotting for damage. My strategy is to run in and out kiting with heavy hitting attacks to whittle down mobs while my absorb is still active. I can't hit anyone really when they clump up so I pick around the edges after stringing out the mobs. I target surgeons first, then whoever is convenient.

It's Praetoria though, so notLinux is actually the established mega corp's product. Meanwhile, the open source Bindows is only used by niche enthusiasts.

You ever just find the Praetorian version of yourself?

Tried again on my EM/Bio Scrapper. Got up to the Nictus ambush, but their numbers are just overwhelming. The "Buffed Enemies" challenge mode makes it quite hard. Does anyone know what the exact effects are?

Just did this at +1x4 on a level 32 katana/bio scrapper and on a team at level 30 +0 with an exemplared IO'd em/bio scrapper. Solo, I died twice to the EB's at the end. Could not survive even their normal attacks on a long term basis. New cheese strat discovered though. You only actually need to kill the named EB. The remaining ones just become untargetable/stop moving when you do and the mission is accomplished. On the team, I think most everyone else was at the natural level for the mission, and we came close to wiping at the Ward turning on us/Clarity escort part. You face enemies on two sides and it is hard for the tank to aggro manage both the ambush and Ward's summons. The EB part we handled no problem though. It is just a hard mission. Personally I like this mission but I was playing fairly meta/built stuff (I have been IOing a lot of my powers as I level on the katana scrapper. She's a self contained Praetoria solo character with no seed money for a true lonely experience, lol.

I know giving unsolicited advice usually just pisses people off, so I do it all the time for fun.

All cimms have zero psi resist iirc, so on an ITF you can alternate doing full damage on cimms and half damage on 5th Column robots.

I think the set is fine as is. It's AoE is weak imo outside of the very excellent fast animating nuke, but it's single target is good enough that it is still a well balanced set. I think the main thing that makes it special is the damage type, which is good for getting enemies in god mode, though screws you over on robots.

That is also my least favorite buggy thing too. I heard the market code in general is just a complete mess. I'm guessing that's why it hasn't been fixed for all these years in live and HC. it would be nice though.

At the end of the day, Mids and the forums are not actually part of the game though. Is it ok game design to have the main source of information and the main build editor be independent of the game? I don't actually know. It is extremely difficult at best to teach someone just through help channel or try and fix a build. Is there even an in game way to look at someone else's build? There's lots of stuff that is just not taught by the game. The defense soft cap was derived by smart fellows on the forums, there's nothing telling you about the rule of 5, nothing that tells you that purples should not be attuned since the bonuses work at all levels already, etc.

The one I can think of is St. Martial and all the building interior mission doors. I just mission TP to them since you can't tell what doors on the building exterior lead inside or are just mission doors themselves. The actual waypoint is not helpful since it is pointing to the actual mission door, which is in the building interior underground.

I tried it on my Elec/Elec brute just now. It is pretty damn hard, lol, ngl. I can't stand and fight or their defense gets too high to hit. It is theoretically possible to go through though I still died on occasion (player skill problem? TBF I have not played this character in a long while).

There's a mod on the mod manager for that thankfully. On min fx, the only thing that shows is Adaption and DNA contamination for me.

My two ice toons are both magic origin, and the good thing about magic is that you ain't gotta explain shit.

What were all the settings that you ended up running on? +4x8 no insps I'm guessing? I have an elec/elec brute and a claws/elec brute I can run this on though I am not fully T4'd.

You have my respect for even attempting such a feat! I'm guessing one of the fails was from a certain mission in Roy Cooling's arc?

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I hope for your sake no one uses Howling Twilight around you.

Willpower also has a self rez right?

Can confirm it is hard. I used cheese strats of hitting and running iirc on my scrapper and stalker solo runs.

Rain of poisoned needles? Full auto style pew pew of thousands of shuriken? If we make it more if a general ninja powerset, bombs are a thing that they utilized, at least in popular conception.

Night Ward skies.

I'm the same way. I don't read comics and only half heartedly watch Marvel/DC movies. I do not know who I am... I don't know why I'm here. All I know is that I must kill.

We do, but only get to ride them every 25 minutes. Funny to see everyone clown car into a Chaser or mini Flier though.
