Teams would dig having you around.

Drop stealin bastiches, the lot of them!

So that's why I only play here.

I go the other way. Choose a defense armor so you can skip DA completely as its low DPA kills your overall DPS. That said, my only existing stalker is kat/inv just cuz.

Use lots of very tiny bricks and you won't notice.

Are you asking if diminishing returns a la ED should be applied to all buffs from multiple sources? So first layer of maneuvers is 100%, second is 50%, etc?

That plus No Redraw often makes me a happy camper.

Found another claws in my stable. Claws/WP scrapper. I should finish her up.

But then you you found incarnates and better slotting and learned that aid self was nothing but a DPS killer. Cuz you smart.

Ok, I'll do some pylon retests. After pizza. Cuz I need pizza.

C'mon @Sovera give us the summation. What's best on the simple?

My vote is tank.

And I ran an ITF with my time/fire defender where we slaughtered everything because everyone on the team had IO set bonuses. Like I said, I need data from the devs. Anything short of that ain't enough.

Citation needed. Until we have it, this opinion is nothing but that. It may have been true back before the snap. I find it a ridiculous assumption now.

We ain't got no rails here, man!

They deserve it.

I miss my 30 year old eyeballs.

What attack chain was this?!?!

Sound choices. SR and SD are also common picks for natural fighters but both come with click mez protection which some find annoying. Hell, I main SR and *I* find it annoying.

Truth.

Eva Destruction's Praetorian Invasion arc gives you a single map with all the Praet AVs. Even has a built in timer. Run it at, say, +3/x1 and you'd likely get some decent data after a few runs if you're bouncing between different incarnate powers.

See also Elude, Power Surge, Overload and Kuji-in Retsu.

I was one of those number crunchers. It wasn't true before AT IOs and it's certainly no longer true. Although, it was damn close before AT IOs. The reason BZB scrapper was turned into BZB brute back before the snap was, ironically, because the extra mitigation provided by being a brute exceeded the extra damage from being a scrapper. Funny, that, considering the current discussion.

A chance that can be easily calculated over time. If you're stating that "a brute can exceed a scrapper's damage when the scrapper gets a slew of unlucky crit rolls" then you should have said so. If you were trying to state a single attack with a capped damage buff for a brute can exceed the same attack from a scrapper at the cap only IF the scrapper doesn't crit, then you should have said so.

Again, false statement. No brute is going to surpass a scrapper's damage unless you're comparing a powerset like EM against Spines where you specifically stated we aren't allowed.
