And yet those that DID test it, thoroughly, and STILL dislike it, are jumped on at every chance by a certain group of posters until they're simply driven from the discussion is disgust. Some things never change.

No, thanks. If anything I'd rather see proper crits and fumbles for rolling that natural 1 or 20.

Stone Cages.

My only home before the snap. 🙂

Got it 1 slotted with 50+5 recharge reduction. Up enough to keep me rocking 100%.

Not sure I'd want to play it without conserve power. I find I click it whenever it's up.

My BZBs die only due to player error. Usually involving beer.

Before wings and hooves were added to the game. BZB and his old sg-mate, Joshua Glass. Same time period. Back when soloin hordes of rikti was considered difficult.

You would. But some of us, many of us, often lose sight of the important things and get weighed down in the minutiae. I still prefer mathematical purity and beauty in the underlying coding of the powersets. I still prefer balance. But in the end, I just like killin shit with the animations that the original devs gave us. As I've aged, so too have my opinions. Or my desire to fight on these here forums. It happens.

I love those. Specially at max diff. KILL SUPER STUNNERS FIRST! Twice for more xp.

Got the new shield/em tank to lvl 7. Probably won't touch her on live again til the patch hits. Am considering doing a full build on beta to see how she'll turn out, though.

This is pretty cool.

I'm finding that after I completed a @Werner rules ITF, my desire to argue about game balance has gone out the window. I don't think anyone should be able to solo a max diff ITF with enemies buffed, insps and temps disabled, with zero faceplants. But what I think doesn't matter. And I'm ok with that as long as I'm able to log into this game and slice apart enemies with my claws/sr scrapper. Getting 3 vet lvls per hour and raking in a TON of inf. 🙂

Correct and yes.

Thanks. I needed that today.

Thank the dark and elder gods that absolutely none of this actually matters as long as I can log in and kill shit.

And this is precisely why I really wanted the Dark Melee Siphon Life change (way back before the snap) to be ported over to the very similar Warshade Essence Drain.

Only thing that I keep noticing is that I get vastly more purples/pvps from farming in DA than I do AE.

None of which is needed today, thus my questioning that it was EVER actually faster to hit 50 than it is right now.

You sure about that? I don't remember being able to hit 50 in 2 hours with just my 2 accounts back in the old days. Granted, I soloed a lot so may very well have missed the whole padding at 45 or whatever shit. Edit: As for other games, I've got 3500 hours logged on Fallout 4 that happened when I had no CoH. And I'm eyeballing Outer Worlds, Borderlands 3, Cyberpunk and Vamp The Masq as my next buys which WILL pull me away from CoH.

Old test: BZB Brute Core and Radial Average: 4:26 Fresh testing: BZB Scrapper Core kicks the crap out of radial Core 2:43 2:55 2:42 Average: 2:47 Radial 3:19 3:13 3:39 (RNG really hated me on that last run) Average: 3:24 Edit: BZB Tank Core 5:54 6:22 5:55 Average: 6:04 Radial 6:03 6:06 6:30 Average: 6:13 Attack chain for all three is Followup, Focus, Slash, repeat with Pyronic thrown in when up. Slotting for Focus on all three: Apocalypse (wo the Dam only enh) + Glad's Javelin CF Toxic Slotting for Slash on all three: Hecatomb (wo the Dam only enh) + Achilles' Heel CF DR Debuff Followup Brute: AT IO Set with + Fury proc Followup Scrapper: AT IO Set with +50% crit chance proc Followup Tank: AT IO Set with + DamRes proc

I believe you!

I've PLed the majority of my alts and play every day. Yea, I like my main that much. I'm about to destroy 24 pylons just for testing radial vs core hybrid assault. Granted, I'm apparently a freak.

It is odd. The claws/sr scrapper, otoh, does much better with core than radial. Guess it's time to retest the tank.
