Gets worse: Combustion leads the way in suck with a 3 sec cast, then BoF AND FSC at 2.67 and THEN the T9 GFS comes in at 2.33. It's awful across the board. Edit: Oh right, scraps and brutes don't even get combustion.

Considering it offers NOTHING but more damage, yes, it should be at the top on both ST and AoE and yet it's nowhere close.

It all stacks. I bounce between barrier (core) and rebirth (regen side.)

Better than my french. Edit: I said a lot of "better than my german" when stationed in Germany.

Except for curbs when you've got rooted on. Loses all viability right there. Stone is garbage. Is it the absolutely toughest possible set in the game? Hell yea! But you sacrifice SO much when you can make other sets sturdy ENOUGH without those sacrifices. I say this with a stone/ma tank. Cuz rooted-granite feet to the face is funny. But it's not my goto character for anything other than a smirk.

You know you've doomed us all, right?

Monster bosses be immune to knock.

I've loved every bit of this show. Edit: Had me completely within the first 5 mins of Ep. 1.

All true. I cranked up a shielder on beta and was rather surprised at just how sturdy it is on a tank. Edit: I'm still trying to figure out how the bio users pulled it off.

Brawl and the origin starter powers are all I know of. I avoid power pool attacks because of it. All the weapon sets have the same issue. Claws, at least, has the no redraw option in power customization. I'm unsure if TW has that option.

Guess I should be glad I didn't actually delete my stone/ma tank.

Considering you have to use TF to get the 1sec cast ET, it'd probably be best to add both cast times and damage together. That said, considering the numbers I've been seeing come out of beta, EM certainly appears to be THE ST DAMAGE KING, especially with proc-monster builds.

Merit gain isn't arguable. Speed runs are the way to go if that's your goal. And my team will be leveling faster while we have said fun. No argument that fun is subjective.

I agree with this point.

Here's what I know (with what's probably my first post in this forum.. ) backin up the dog with painbringer and world of pain is a gorram HOOT!

I also had to use dog_howl_02.ogg to properly shut him up.

Dunno. I haven't done the math either. I'm just in it for the killin. What I do know is that people ding a lot more when you kill a lot more.

You left out "because it's more fun slaughtering all the things." Also, I don't think you've actually done the math.

We can do better than that. Working on it. Nope. Nevermind. I'm not beating the heavy proc builds. Did an em/bio brute. TF/ET/Gloom/BS/(either ablative carapace to survive or a long ET)/repeat. Still only sitting around 1:45.

Nah. I'll play it anyway. I like massive single target damage and the new EM provides it in spades. I like lowbie EM better than endgame EM as it is on beta but I'll never dig the set with the combo garbage in place. Don't get me wrong, there's some great changes in there, and those changes are better than the combo system sucks... but the combo system still sucks and I'll never not hate it. Still a better set than kinetic and fire melee. 🙂

What attack chain are you runnin? TF/ET/BS/Gloom/repeat?

Was wondering if you had gloom in the mix. Really startin to head that way on a lot of my characters.

I've slaughtered more pylons since Sunday than I'd really like share....

Wow. Considering I was getting 1:45 on the em/bio SCRAPPER I put together, I'd kinda like to see what build you're running. I did watch another em/bio scrapper get around 1:14 but they were using PC in their chain with a damres debuff proc and melt armor.
