Obsidian_Farmer

I have a storm/water defender that runs a proc-heavy build that’s pretty fun and a bit of a beast. I’m away from my machine to dig up the build but there should be a similar one in the defender forums in one of the old Proc Monster threads.

I do the same. I also have it set up so hitting a number 1-6 on my first row fires the power and toggles which one is on auto just in case.

I definitely remember the name PB Jason. I think you tagged along on a bunch of my stuff for a little while!

Yooo, I'm here, playing on Everlasting @Obsidian_Spectre and @Dr. Dusk Old mains: Obsidian Farmer - Illusion/Kin controller Annoying Customer - Fire/Dark Corruptor Current mains: Virid - Plant/Earth Dom Hitteberoerte - Mind/Fire Dom Obsidian Spectre - Illusion/Dark Controller edit: I just noticed I previously replied to this thread. Oh well.

50 is the start for the majority of mine. I always have a very specific goal in mind for my characters from the jump so when I'm rolling something new it's already a fully fleshed out character. I come up with an idea, put together a build, PL the character to 50, outfit it, then run through all of the task forces in order. That way I can get a feel for any powers or synergies I may be unfamiliar with and make tweaks to the build. There are a few exceptions, like if both sets are ones I've never played or if I'm unsure about the final direction on a build. I don't really play melee characters either so on the rare occasion I do I actually do the work.

I say embrace the ugly and go plant/earth! My Plant/Earth/Ice Dom is the closest thing I have to a main character and it's ridiculously fun. Plant's got the easy set up with SoC then you can just wade in, lock down what you need to, and smash stuff. I've played pretty much everything over the years and none of my characters ever felt as savage and strong as this one with the creepers slashing around and the big hammers and stomps from Earth. The right keybinds make it so you can just go through your active abilities and your time sensitive stuff like hasten, domination, and creepers fire on their own so you don't really have to juggle anything but the enemies.

I can 3rd or 4th or whatever we are up to now Plant/Earth. I main controllers and dominators and that combination is some of the most fun I've had in recent times. I actually re-rolled that character from a plant / nature controller that I couldn't get into and once I did it easily became my second favorite character to play. The first being my Illusion/Dark controller.

You can do those kinds of keybinds for sure, I use several on my PB. Here's an old guide from back in the day(it's on Live Journal! That's how old it is!) that still applies for doing things like tray switching binds and what not. You can just change the keys to be whatever key you want them to be to fit your playstyle.

I always thought it should since thematically it's supposed to be the same hold just "pushed" to a higher level, like up-casting a spell in D&D 5e. The situation I'm curious about and haven't had the chance to test yet is whether or not Gravitational Anchor's proc counts since it's just the Grav Distortion hold. I'm going to check that out in a bit when I get the chance. edit: Gravitational Anchro's proc does not count. edit 2: During testing this morning from what i've just seen it appears I was wrong about singularity. While just letting Singularity do its thing and not interacting at all I'm not seeing any IMPACT text popping up and I'm not seeing bonus numbers. Holding a target with Grav. Distortion and letting singy do its thing also doesn't produce any new numbers or the IMPACT text. That said I have definitely seen situations where IMPACT pops up three times back to back to back on a target when I'm casting Lift and Propel and singy casts its own lift. Maybe there's a bug or something like all the craziness that's going on with Illusion right now and stuff just isn't working as intended or maybe my previous observations were just wrong. I don't know at the moment.

GDF hasn't ever counted for impact and sing using its hold does count. Also singularity does get the impact bonus. edit see the second edit in my post below.

Yeah, the bugs with illusion right now are huge.

That explains so much. I just did a Tin-pex run and couldn't confuse the war walkers like I usually do, couldn't figure out what was going on.

I'm sure this has probably been requested before but I did a quick search and I didn't see it so I figured I'd post a few things I'd like to see from the flight pool that may or may not even be possible and see what you guys think. I'm a huge fan of minimal and noFX animations for powers and if I could get it I'd like that for every power that doesn't effect an enemy, especially for the Barrier incarnate and various Sonic abilities. Those legitimately hurt my eyes and make things hard for me to look at. Failing NoFX options an option on Null the Gull to disable graphics from such powers would be the bees knees. BUT that's not what this is about. Here's what I'd like to see from Flight and Afterburner. 1: An alternative animation for flight that uses the Hover animation with the various bright/dark/noFX options. 2: NoFX Afterburner. 3: A version of flight that doesn't interrupt flight enabled emotes so we can fly in the various heroic and villainous stances. I'd love nothing more out of flight than to fly like Darkseid or Magento.

This is the boat I'm in with my PB as well. I've got them in Solar Flare, Dawn Strike, and Photon Seekers. I'd toss one in Radiant Strike and Bright Nova Detonation too but I need those sixth set bonuses for the psi resist in my build. Don't get me wrong, he's amazingly fun as he is and is a hell of a tank but I'd kill to get those slots back so I could put them elsewhere and push that Psi resist over the 85% cap.

Drag and Drop doesn't work for me. Characters move around at the time but reset every time I relog. For anyone having the same problem this thread is likely the answer you're looking for. When I found this solution I didn't have the described account folders or playerslot.txt so I had to create them myself. I formatted them as above with the quotations and it worked. The downside to this solution is that you've got to do it manually like this any time you want to reorder the screen in the future.

I'll hit this thread too. Obsidian Farmer checking in! Playing on Everlasting @Obsidian Farmer and @Dr. Dusk
