Good info. Thanks.

I was thinking about the uselessness of the +tohit/+dam it offers but I get your point.

Double-edged blade. Being a number crunching min/maxer can also cause us to see problems that interfere with our ability to just log in and have fun. Or maybe that's just me.

Figured this would be the place to ask. Let's say I wanted to investigate the whole "procmonster" silliness with my claws/sr main scrapper. Sounds like I have to go with conserve power, focused accuracy and physical perfection (geared toward even more end rec) and that means I should just skip followup and chain something like focus, slash, strike. shockwave, eviscerate. That sound about right?

Mag 30 confuse.

My fire/bio sent is in the top 5 of my most played characters. I wouldn't play him if he wasn't fun. Course, he can solo in DA without issue where my fire/time blaster is a study in aggravation even with clarion and softcapped range defense. But she's fun when teaming. Oh yea... and the sent? I did solo a max diff ITF with him. Which was a PITA due to the AVs running all over the map.

It's a seriously stupid statement. Might as well say every AT is training wheels unless you're soloing a max diff MLTF with a warshade.

Always a lot.

That would be nice. I'd slot that on my main claws/sr in a freakin heartbeat.

But FH/QR still > Health/Stamina on the buff values. So even with the inherents, you want to crank those up 1st.

<.< >.> Yes. On a sentinel. Now I have two regen Sents.

Ya have to sometimes enjoy when you're told "you're just doin it wrong" and it's actually the correct answer. Eyeballing savage/sd/mu as my next stalker attempt. I'll probably still keep my kat/inv and respec her some to go full-tilt ST boogie.

That's funny. Edit: You say since the start of HC? Why would it have been changed in such a way?

Running a Market Crash with my SG last night on my Bio/Claws tank and something very weird occurred. Ya know that grey line for Absorption that gets added to your HP bar in the team window that grows and pushes your HP bar out as more Absorb is added? (Classic team window, not new as shown below.) Mine suddenly stretched all the way across my screen and my monitored Current HP showed 1.00 (100%) (Missed the screenshot, sorry.) Discussing it amongst ourselves, one of my team mentioned that it appears all of Crimson Prototype's attacks come with a Max HP debuff and a screenshot another team member took showed all the debuffs I had on myself. (Included below.) It appears that I have 24 stacks of debuffs from CP. Is this working as intended? Is CP supposed to be able to drop a player's max HP to 1 point?

It should also be noted that the claws' aoe output crushes the em's and there's FAR less corpse blasting to deal with.

Absolutely true. I suspect the biggest change since the snap is that I've become even lazier.

Intended at one time, perhaps. But now we can separate a power's boosts and get them to work properly. Take Personal Force Field for example. It buffs Self +Def, Res(All except Toxic) but only the +Res portion of the power is set to ignore enhancements and other boosts. If it can be done for some powers, it should be done for them all. https://cod.uberguy.net./html/power.html?power=defender_buff.force_field.personal_force_field&at=defender

I just stripped/deleted both my triform and humanonly WS. Even with perpetual mez protection from clarion, the humanonly was painfully weak against hard targets. The triform might have been ok with clarion so that I could drop out of dwarf form and not be instamezzed, but in the end, the constant form hopping was trashing my DPS more than helping and having to wait until 50++ before getting proper mez protection means a whole lotta sittin in dwarf form and doing all other manner of things to get past the constant mezzing. Khels are awesome to watch in action and back before the snap I really did love my triform WS and PB. Now? With the current game? It's like stone armor. Why deal with all the negatives when you can dish out the same or better damage with the same or close to it mitigation with something else with far less hassle and annoyance? I still have a humanonly PB but she's not long for existence either for the same reasons.

Wait... what? I didn't strive for existence. That was thrust upon me. Does that mean my existence has no value?

Start using IOs for set bonuses early... and often. Pairing an aoe-centric primary with what is arguably the weakest secondary is brave and you should go for it if it appeals to you.

I waltzed my tank into @Linea's 802.5 AE mission at max diff. Hit rebirth, shield charged into the first spawn, hit whirling hands, ETed the biggest boss in the face and promptly faceplanted. The ability to create really nasty critters and missions is available and I, too, would like to see more of it utilized across the board.

... cuz the incarnate trials are so intricate and difficult? Hmmm. To the point, no thanks. I like being able to use DA for PLing alts when I get tired of AE.

Yea, I am. I'll keep this one to have one but I don't see getting much use out of her.

Guess you didn't bother looking at the build. Survivability isn't the problem. The problem is the ridiculously boring clear map speed due to lack of AoE. I can give up Body Mastery for something else but I'll be giving up a lot of mitigation to do so.
