just pretend you're doing this

all my characters and the 40-person RP SG i run are on everlasting but ok most RPers understand that mastermind attacks are trash, and anyone who thinks that you can't min/max a concept build is probably an uncreative person

fortunately for the people who took 'you'll never use math outside of high school' to heart, there's pine's hero designer which does all the math for you

if you read the thread you'd see i've already made my measured response the rest is just making fun of people who think that forcing everyone to play in a certain way is unironically a good idea

my thoughts: if you are really dead-set on taking tactical training leadership, at least put the +perception proc in it. on my bane, where i regularly fight level 54 tsoo/BP/CoT in astoria, the only situation in which i have ever needed to use tactics was in PVP, and even then only for the +perception build up ONLY needs the gaussian proc + one or two recharges to taste, you can get the set bonuses from gaussian elsewhere more effectively six-slot tactical training maneuvers with reactive defences, you want the 8.75% recharge and 10% resist five-slot heavy burst with superior spider's bite for the +10% recharge. you DEFINITELY want the global toxic proc as well as the 10% recharge five-slot venom grenade with superior dominion of arachnos, you want the chance for -damage and terrorize diamagnetic interface is not that good, take degenerative radial for the -max HP and toxic proc (which even fits thematically with SoA) support hybrid is not that good because of the 50% uptime, take assault radial for the global doublehit proc recall friend is ok but you can get 999 prestige teleport powers, get super jump instead so you have some actual vertical mobility

Thanks! That's Starslammer, an OC based on Space Jam and Barkley, Shut Up And Jam: Gaiden. She has magic B-Ball powers.

That doesn't help anything. If anything it makes the problem worse because you have no real mitigation and your pets run into melee even faster than before. Seriously, until an admin posts saying that it can't be done or breaks things, this is the suggestion I'm backing the hardest. It *needs* to happen. Ranged pets running into melee needs to stop. They're just really, really eager to get in range of Fulcrum Shift.

None of these numbers are hidden, and they can all be worked out with gradeschool math if you really absolutely need to know how much of a bonus your powers get: Captain Billy has 0% global recharge. He picks Knockout Blow as one of his attacks, which has a 20 second recharge rate. He slots two recharge enhancements in his Knockout Blow that each gives him 40% recharge for this power. He then picks a power that gives him 20% global recharge. He then slots 2 enhancement sets into his other powers that give him 5% global recharge each. How many seconds does it take for Captain Billy's Knockout Blow to recharge? Please show your work clearly.

imagine unironically asking the devs to force random people to team with you instead of like making friends edit: if your social anxiety is so crippling that you cannot bear to interact with people unless an authority forces them to interact with you, you need to let your psychiatrist know this

Sweet! Can't wait to make: The Bolgy-Wolgy Noticing OwO Whats This Omega Wolf <Rogue Entertainment>

To be fair, Blasters aren't a ranged damage class, they're an every damage class. So, unless they want to hang back and play it safe (in which case they're being Sentinels, not Blasters) then they're going to be punching things as much as they are shooting things. Well, yeah, that's why there's a Suggestions board. It would be cool to see changes to Voltaic Sentinel to make it a little less of a hassle to use, even though it still is literally free damage forever.

Haha, imagine getting a free pony in the first place. Real men WORK for their ponies, like they did in the old days. You gold pony babies are getting it easy mode.

Hey, you should probably not jump to conclusions. All costume pieces are available by default. However, back options are finicky -- depending on what other costume parts you choose, you might not have access to wings/capes. There are a few of them like that. Here you can see that when wearing a jacket with a long tail, there's no back options available: You'll need to pick a costume part that has no 'flowing physics' like that in order to wear a cape.

"Play what you want" is a non-argument. If you're looking for what the best Brute build is, there are a few options depending on what you want to do. Spines/Fire is very popular for farming, for example, and SS/Regen will break faces in PVP.

Everything should be free and unlimited, but unfortunately, we live in a society.

If you wanna slam with the best, you gotta jam like the rest.

What's the domain name?

Elec blast's attacks numerically do as much damage as other blast sets that aren't Fire. It's just that instead of the 40-foot high damage blast you have the Voltaic Sentinel power, which does way more damage per activation but less all at once. So everyone pretends that it does really bad damage (it doesn't.) Seriously, Voltaic Sentinel is literally free damage, forever. Changing it to a straight up blast would gimp Elec Blast.

Literally nobody takes mastermind attacks unless they're Demon Summoning, so that's going to be a very low priority.

joke's on you

i think you're just wrong mate

True, but then it's a bit odd with it's own AI. I always thought itd be sweet if it worked like targeting drone and hovered around you, or at least if you could have multiples The reason it's a 'pet' is probably because the devs weren't able to make a toggle that does ST attacks work out. You COULD make it a PBAoE aura with a max target of 1, but that'd likely make it attack 'randomly' instead of focus on a single target at a time. A wide-radius aura where it hit one target with a Chain Induction like effect (that propagates from target to target) could possibly work, though. Elec Blast could certainly use the boost, since it's a criminally underrated powerset.

beast is bad because they're melee pets and melee pets die more than ranged pets beast is really good if you're /kin secondary tho please avoid listening to toxic statements such as:

I mean a melee/support would be cool but every melee powerset AT has defense secondary for good reason, so you'd need to make an armor/support hybrid set a la VEATs rather than just flextape together scrappers and defenders

They don't have the mechanical and thematic range of sets that an actual melee/support AT would, though. i give everyone on my team 25% defense and 30% damage and have res/recharge/def debuffs out the ass, not to mention having the two best ST melee attacks in the game, the second best PBAoE, and every single one of my attacks does knockdown/knockback five of my secondary powers directly benefit my team in some way that isn't doing direct damage (the three leadership powers, surveillance, web cocoon) widows also get mind link and vengeance, which are both mega OP pretty sure you can call spiders an actual melee/support AT
