No.

The KD enhancement converts the power to KD so no matter how much KB you've slotted it'll still just be KD. All you're getting for those extra enhancements are set bonuses and enhancements on non-KB attributes.

Correct, you can't use any of those "teleport to zone" type powers if you're already in the zone you're trying to teleport to. I forget the exact reasoning for it but it has something to do with the tech that actually makes those powers work in the first place.

Looks like they get about 30% extra tohit, which would match what you were seeing in your combat logs.

I remember seeing common complaints on the HC Discord shortly after I27 dropped about how players were having a hard time finding certain Blaster and Brute ATO pieces which made sense to me since 1) Blasters got a new secondary and almost every existing secondary got tweaked and 2) more new alts = more new farmers = more new Brutes needing ATO pieces. There are a surprising number of people who refuse to play converter roulette even though it would solve all their problems and probably cost less inf/merits than buying specific pieces.

It does, but this is hardly the only power in the game with incorrect text.

Considering prices have stayed fairly stable since they nerfed double inf while exemplared, I'd say we're at a point where "goes ins" equal "goes outs" and there's really not much reason to upset that. Your suggestion seems like extra work to solve a nonexistent problem.

Hi Damon!

You have a very odd definition of "inflation." Unless you meant the economy was massively inflated back on live? I'd agree with that premise at least - a single purple enhancement back on live could cost as much as an entire build costs now, and I routinely sold certain PvP IOs off the market for 3-4 billion inf each. Inflation hasn't been happening here because The Powers That Be have been careful to curb it as they find it practical - reduced merit costs, seeded salvage and super packs, bucketing, removal of double inf while exemplared, P2W vendors, etc. AH fees are a small part of it and while they may not do much on their own to keep the market reasonable they do work together with the other means of curbing it.

FYI, Group Fly doesn't do -tohit and hasn't for a long time.

Super packs average greater than one enhancement per pack so it makes sense they sell for less than the cost of the pack. Winter enhancements are the same way - when the price was 10 million per pack during the winter event the enhancements were hovering around 8 million. I guess the simpler answer is "because that's what people are willing to pay."

This encounter isn't necessarily supposed to be something players get involved in. Player involvement is only really required when one side defeats the entirety of the other side and the event gets "stuck," so to speak.

Who is this mythical "casual player" you keep mentioning?

It may be possible that Reaction Time is using its debuff radius in the PPM calculations in which case you'd have an extremely low proc rate and over short enough time it would seem like it wasn't activating at all.

I will usually prioritize S/L/F/C resist over HP but it's pretty easy to add on boatloads of HP with minimal slots to the point it's almost an afterthought (20% from accolades, another 7.5% from a single slot with Unbreakable Guard, and a whole bunch of 3-slot 1.13% and 1.88% HP bonuses that just come naturally through sets I already use).

I wouldn't worry too much about passive regen on a Bio. If you've got decent def/res numbers Bio's click powers will carry you through just fine.

If the question you're asking is "how much regen do I need to completely forego worrying about defense and resistance," the answer is "too much to reasonably obtain."

On live you couldn't have more than 10 enhancements in your tray at a time, full stop, which required several respecs to strip a character. I don't know exactly why the current limit of 70 exists other than it's almost enough to completely strip a character.

You could return Regen to its launch-day glory and it would still be a bad set by today's standards.

If I was going to buff AR I'd seriously cut down on the cast time for Full Auto and Ignite, make Flamethrower deliver its damage faster, and add more than a token amount of damage to Beanbag.

While this is true, it does nothing for those characters for the first 49 of those 50 levels.

Same here, honestly. I like the idea at face value but not being able to get these debuff resistances on your own incentivizes teaming and makes certain support powers useful. There are also quite a few PvP implications (example: slow resist is widely available via set bonuses now which is one of the factors making slows not-very-useful in PvP). At any rate, with the way the current game engine and IO system work you can simply build for defense and not really need to worry about debuff resistance because the debuffs just don't hit you in the first place.

The funny part is this one was really tame compared to one that was around last summer...

Procs slotted in a power will roll for their chance to activate when the power they're slotted in is activated regardless of any secondary effects. You could roughly math out how much end you'd get back if you knew an attack chain and how it was slotted, but Performance Shifter is only 1.5PPM so it will probably perform poorly in most actual attack powers. As an example: if slotted in Lightning Bolt, Performance Shifter would have a 24.18% chance to fire on each cast if Lightning Bolt had no recharge slotted in it and 16.68% chance to fire on each cast with a more-typical 60% slotted recharge. Even in Zapp you're looking at a 33% chance at best.
