Razor Cure

As totally COOL as this would be...it would end up with like 10 people actually running the mission for fun, and 219032109 people running it too farm ebs, and do it even easier than AE farming is right now. Giving people ways to farm with even less effort (that is, you dont have to make and IO a farming toon..you just go ahead and BE States) is a bad idea. Better off having them as Personal Missions (that we already have for the newer arcs) instead. As a perfect example, try out Belladona Vetrano's incarnate arc. Its very cool, as the last mission (as Tyrant!) is totally epic.

I don't mind this idea. It is also similar to one I was pondering...making any MISSED attacks cost no (or refund some) end, when you are sub level 20. Yes, yes, I know Stamina is free, but it is still super easy to blueflatline when you have no/minimal enhancements and get a string of misses. Or even if the game could somehow refund end when you attack something that is 'dead.' Like when you fire a shot at a baddie, but a team mate did it 0.0001 seconds faster (or their attack just lands quicker) and they go splat, before your attack hits. Another incentive to t1 attacks could be similar to Champions online, when powers could be Energy Builders.

Hurricane with NO repel would be totally, utterly broken. As is, I think it is about the highest -to hit in the game, and a HUGE AoE. Also, the -range part is stupidly awesome, as anything that can push close to you, normally cant even use melee (usually their hardest) attacks.

Backstory. Last night, I was on my new baby stalker, level 8. A friend logs in on her level 11 scrapper. I invite her, and we kick of a Posi1, since its the weekly. I did not even think before starting it, and we starting at MY (8) level. We get to mission 2, and Gearteeth is PURPLE. Purple..when I am set to +0. AT this point, I am like..oh shit..I am pretty sure Doc Buzzsaw is gonna be 'max' level for the TF (15). And she was. A level 15, +7(!!) elite boss. With us as unslotted lowbies. We couldnt dent her, at all. Now, to be fair, I DO know that she actually does always spawn at 15, cause I have done the tf a few times at 13-14ish, and the same thing happened. I just didn't think. My question is WHY. Why does she have to spawn at 15? I need to check the preTF briefing, but I am almost sure that Posi does NOT mention anything about a max level eliteboss. He just goes ahead and lets you kick it off, at the minimum level. Of course, perhaps with a full team of 8, she would be killable (but still, if everyone was unslotted, its gonna take a bit). Now, there are other TFs in game that have Max Level baddies, such as STF/RSF, Lady Grey. ANd in those cases, it totally makes sense, as you are fighting Hami, Recluse, the Phalanx etc etc. But there are also others where the final boss SCALES down to whatever the leader is. Morty Kal, Sutter, and even Imperious do this! I know because I have done them all, including a lvl 35 ITF. So if Romulus (one of the hardest 'normal, single, non incarnate AV' fights) can scale down to 35 (and with seemingly all the power he had at 50, just less hp etc etc), why cant a lvl 15 Elite Boss (with maybe 4? attacks) scale down to level 8..when the TF is started by a level 8? I am not sure what other TF bosses scale, since I usually do things above their max level anyway, but if some can manage scaling (especially ITF), there is no reason such a low tf (that is basically advertised as the lowbie tf) in which NO other, besides gearteeth, bosses are max'd, it makes no sense at all. AT the very least, the mission briefings should clarify the difficulty a bit. The LFG info is basically shit all, and just has rewards, length, and level ranges. Granted, it does have recommended player amounts, which in the case of Posi1 is 3. I doubt many unslotted level 8 lowbies could kill a +7 Elite Boss.

Ooh that's very true. I'd LOVE my vet (prestige) attacks in SBB, especially as an MM.

Just as it says. Prestige attacks, not things like sigsummons. The prestige attacks (black wand, nem staff, sands of mu etc) all are available in Incarnate Arcs and Apex/TinMage, and yet..not in any of the iTrials. In fact, during baf, the attacks start as usable, but as soon as the cutscene ends, they grey out. There really is no good reason for this. Those attacks aren't super powerful, there is only 3-5 of them, and you CAN still use things like Mystic Fortune (which gives some really nice buffs). Being unable to use ranged attacks, that were perfectly usable for 50 levels, really sucks, especially on a Melee toon, since so many iTrial parts favour ranged damage (baf prisoners, marauder fight, keyes fight, tyrant fight)! I really really notice it on an MM, since I have no personal attacks (cause they suck) so my attack chain is just those 3 prestige powers!

You mean DiB. DfB is pretty worthless at 20. And theres the fact starting in Prae locks you there for 20 levels. Sure, they can go fast, but theres no way to leave. I am not sure if it tells new characters that, but I know a few people who had no idea, found out, then said screw it.

They are in oro, but it would be nice to have them doable from lvl 10-40, WITHOUT having to start a toon in Prae (since that locks you out of DFB and a huge percentage of teams, more so because the arcs there are generally quite hard, especially as an unenhanced lowbie). The level 10-40 content bracket, I find, is pretty bleak, and full of so many old clunky arcs (much much more of this is blueside, most of red has newer and, again, to me, way more fun), with only newer ones like the Prea related talos contacts and president marchand being largely free of a stupid amount of cross zoning, hunts and errand missions. Granted, lvl 20-40 also has teh Night Ward/First Ward stuff (which are also excellent, and way underused, in my experience), and I cant remember what level those arcs cap at, but I'd love to be able to do all the Prae/Ward arcs right to 50, mixing them with the paragon/rogue isle arcs of a similar style. Would be even cooler if those arcs and tfs (sutter, kal, maybe some new ones?) counted for Praetorian accolades.

Let's be honest..how many khleds have all this? Or more to the point..how many have it without spending X amount on it? Saying PBs are fine, because you CAN get that, at super extended maximum, is hardly the same as saying a Khled on SOs.

The hitbox on the Seed of Hami and Rikti Dropships are also totally awful for melee. In the case of the dropship, it is made even worse by how fast it is, and travel suppression,

I like this idea! ANd letting us build out own sidekicks! We could get Fusionette killed..over and over and over..

Not an option, or actually impossible?

They are? Cause I dont see any posts from teh powers dev team in this thread. And fine, so they didnt remove brawl, but they STILL fixed (according to tewst patch notes, I am giving them the benefit of the doubt) it, somehow. So..why cant there ever ever EVER be some way to fix this?

Go check out the many many threads about MM pets, and you will see a lot of people saying it was impossible. Most were referencing comments from the Live Dev team, and Castle I think, who TRIED to fix them, and it flat out broke other stuff. Like a lot.

Great reasoning behind that response. Again, if they can fix MM pets, which was flat out stated as game breaking and impossible..why should this be? Maybe it would take ages to work through the code and stuff, but impossible?

Taking that with a grain of salt. The MM pet brawling was also apparently impossible and simply could not be done EVER..and yet someone (clearly a super genius!) worked it out.

Just thinknig more about the Stalker ideas in here (that of an auto Placate in the set), maybe the same could be used for Tanks? Give them a seperate, autotake taunt power (exactly as taunt in now, but no power choice) and give them another aoe/cone. That would help there damage, and with teh lower damage of tanks, wouldnt be OP.

No. No. As someone with both EM and SM doms, no. I LIKE being in melee, and that blapper style of play, on a dom (a squishy AT) is fun as hell and a rush. With no melee at all, the assault sets would just become blast sets..which are already shared by 3 ATs. Yes. I had a Kat stalker on Live, and ONE aoe was a pain. YES. Archery has one of the worst damage types, with only blazing arrow as anything else. AR needs a hard update, especially on the ranges and arcs of the cones.

No idea how hard it is, but it would be super cool. Looking at CoT in DA, they are basically teh same as 'normal cot,' while the Tsoo are a lot different, with new power sets and combos, and teh Talons/Knives are similar. Then the 2nd SigArc has incarnate Trolls.

Taking away teh rooted nature of the 'turnon' isnt a bad idea, but I still think the power NEEDS to have teh +rech part not tier no the utterly stupid (and totally unique, because it just makes no sense) mechanic of having to turn a power OFF before i does what you want. Sure, the +rec and absorb is really nice, but every blaster (I still think someone in the power area had a blaster with bad end issues, so just decided that all blasters need a huge recovery boost) gets that (with some exceptions, making the sets with that even better).

5 secs feels like a LOT of time, especially when there is a load of spike damage, all just waiting for that Mez to hit. Always gonna by different opinions for pvp.

Make it so!

The pet shouldn't work with dom at all. I am pretty sure none of the other dom pets generate dom..or Fire COntrol would build it super fast. Also I think it would need tweaking as a set..the two stealth powers at the very least (one would be replaced with an immob) but should one stay? Does being invisable AND have untouchable, aggro generating pets really fit the AT? I think it would be stupidly powerful. Two pets could stay..dark control has something similar but I'd expect )and it would be more balanced) if PA got a longer recharge and could take damage.

Ooh damn! Good job guys! So glad you all got that messy code figured out! Totally amazing to have bots etc STAND still and attack!

Sad. How do you not have room for 2 shields? I dont understand people not taking ally buffs (unless its a pvp build, and even THEN, you could make a second, pve one!).
