I wondered the same but slash, which is now the two slash animation, has both entries in the 1st section.

Confused about something. What is that 0% chance of 18.7685 damage? It's not tagged with anything like fiery embrace. Side note, and I know this isn't your job, but dang, devs, swipe hasn't had the two quick swipe animation for a looooooong time.

As I said in another thread, yes please to a new assault/debuff(and/or buff) archetype where the debuffs are pbaoe-centric and act as armor. Yes, the AT will need some kind of functional mez protection.

Doom. The rabbit hole has returned! Awesome work.

I still want to be able to store inf in account-wide base bank. One with no cap.

How is this not true for buildup? It is. Therefore it's not a flawed example at all. It's true for every powerset. I don't believe this to be the case. Otherwise, brutes would clear missions faster. Or I misread your post. Either way, in actual play is the important part.

Mixed bag. While my claws/sr brute would seem to be more efficient thanks to holding aggro which decreases the chance of runners, in the end, the claws/sr scrapper still kills so much faster that when comparing 100% clear all DA repeatables at max diff, the scrapper still gets it done quite a bit faster. Sadly, thanks to the way tanks were buffed here on Homecoming, even the sr/claws tank is faster at clearing missions than the claws/sr brute just due to the increased power of their AoEs. Edit: the brute still wins against single hard targets like AVs and pylons, of course. Tanks were overbuffed, regardless. They should NEVER beat brutes on damage output, aoe or st.

To be fair, that still leaves me with one tactic: kill 'em all. Difference being they come to me to die rather than me going to them.

Should have the info you seek.

There's a general chat in this game?

I should... but there's just something about WW that makes me want to slot it for MORE KB.

This. Now that I keep all my squishies fully stocked with defense amplifiers for mez protection, my inf stores have to be rebuilt on the regular.

I've got one speedster with whirlwind. I use it as an attack instead of a toggle. Toggleon, send the spawn flyin, toggleoff, shadow maul, flurry, sands of mu, sprint on all the time, extra run speed from IOs. I don't play her much, but she is amusing.

That sounds right. Gut-wise... don't trust my memory at all though.

That's what matters. I have fun with my fire/bio sent and he has absolutely no control or debuffs. Just damage.

Ahh, but my mace/bio scrapper is a completely normal human mechanic who just happened upon a magic wrench that grants her abilities. Sooo, magic origin.

It's akin to having a job where you were hired to do X, you do X well and you get paid for it, but then they hand you Y's duties on top of yours without bumping your pay. Or even doubling your workload but not allowing for any overtime for it. At the very least, it's rude. And almost always bad for employee retention.

My bad, man. That statement was specifically in regards to the rezzes. (Two posts before mine.) Can't use them without faceplanting first.

And stated in this thread it's not something I do normally because there's no added benefit to doing so. As Mal said, I do the job and get paid. Sure. Variety is the spice of life and all that. Changing things up to make them more interesting doesn't mean they have to be more difficult. How so? Defeating a +1 minion grants more XP/Inf than a +0. Defeating 10 enemies in 10 seconds instead of 1 enemy in 10 seconds increases your drop rates/sec. That's not fallacious at all. It's exactly how the game works.

Is there really no different to you between self-gimping and utilizing built in difficulty choices?

Goes back to the self-gimping line of thought. I ran the Werner rules ITFs for no more reason but to be added to the list of those that managed it. But ask me to follow those rules for a random run and I'll laugh at you and go find another group. Edit: Unless the rewards for that were increased, of course.

I sell all non-top tier salvage at my base vendor. Same goes for almost all non purple/pvp recipes. The rest gets dumped on the market for 111 inf because I know I'll get the top bid for it. That's enough for me. Cuz I'm always *just* rich enough to fully kit out another alt at market prices.

I don't know. Kat's ST damage *should* be better than TW's but I've zero clue if that's true.

I dunno. From my experience, Kat's ST damage is vastly superior to DB's, and I fight a lotta AVs. Plus Kat is just plain more freakishly crunchy and brutal. Hell, now I'm pondering a kat/bio scrap.

I don't like faceplanting. I fully grok why other people don't care, it's a badge, debt is gone in an instant, etc. I just find that getting knocked out means I didn't build correctly. Taking a power that relies on me getting defeated simply doesn't work for me.
