Bill Z Bubba

Exactly this. The vast majority of my bio users are so much "shielding" themselves with extra HP as they are just plain avoiding/eating/resisting the damage by X means.

One of my arguments for "rolling with the punches" way back in the day before the passive scaling resists were added was purely based on thematics. Yea, I'm taking too much damage, I'm not dodging as well, so now I start rolling to take less damage. Absorb VERY MUCH fits in with the theme of rolling with the punch when things get rough.

If you really enjoy killing your kill time, sure, go for it. I know that I build for constant murder.... not self-induced time-outs.

You are correct.

Bunch of this. I have FOUR Bill Z Bubbas on Excel. Tank, Brute, Scrapper and Stalker, all using Claws and SR. Elude has been a completely useless and skippable power since long before the snap. The only change that makes any sense for SR is add the Master Brawler choice as per Sentinels. SR is arguably OP as is in 95% of the content. (When built "correctly.")

I still get a kick every time I notice that I'm killing Green Dwarf, my RL brother.

I ran 4 accts the other day and stayed above 60FPS. This is on an Nvidia 1080 with other hardware that was purchased back in 2013. Time for an upgrade RV! Yea, I missed the bit about Hami raids. I don't even go to those. Only HO I ever need is a micro++ for sprint.

I cheated. My fire/bio sentinel definitely out damages my emp/nrg defender. But probably does not out damage the sonic/dark corruptor. She's kinda scary.

Bill Z Bubba was always a Wolvie clone. Cigar, bad attitude, claws. Only went super reflexes instead of regen way back when because it sounded cooler. And it is. 🙂

As a set piece, if you 6 slot panaceas into a click like dull pain, you'll always get the set bonuses. The PvE for PvE, and the PvE+PvP in PvP. The proc will only fire off when you click dullpain. So it's better to stick it in an always on passive power like health or physical perfection. The Preventative Medicine +absorb proc, however, works regardless of whether its in a passive or click power. For my take on click heals, I just 3slot three different heal/absorb/recharge IOs and call it a day. Probably not optimal but it saves slots for other powers.

Are the changes good enough to top DPS on the old attack chain of MG/Gloom/SL/Gloom/repeat? My bad. This is the scrapper forum. They don't get gloom. What about the soul mastery snipe cuz it's instant?

I got smacked down with a 2 day ban for being an asshat and I still appreciate the whole HC team for what they do. Keep up the good work and thank you. A lot.

My newest surprise is my staff/bio scrapper. Whole lotta +damage goin on there with the staff form and bio's adaptation.

May have been mentioned, but there are some oddities. The Preventative Medicine +Absorb proc functions even if stuck in a click or toggle that is never activated.

I can't turn off post or rep count... and I have addiction issues, so not a damn thing. 🙂 Proof:

666 is the correct level. /hail me.

Nice catch! Edit: Checked on my scrapper: evasion is solid for 21.8% DDR. Checked on my brute: evasion is solid for 22.13% DDR. Checked on my tank: evasion is bbbbbbbbROKEN, phasing in and out for 27.25% DDR with no change if enemies are around or not. I should note, however, that even with it gone, my tank sits at 94.51% instead of 95% so I doubt this was the cause of the OP's cascading defense failure. Edit2: Nevermind. From the screenshots, I can tell that he's not slotted up fully.

Men need fishnets and corsets, too, damnit.

I always loved these threads just for the alliteration.

144Hz 32" curved @1920X1080 and getting 130FPS standing in Brickstown. Only thing I had to do was disable the FPS cap I had set because Fallout4 freaks out above 70FPS. Settings cranked to 11. FPS, of course, drops when I'm in Atlas Park but generally stays well above 60.

How'd you do that?

I find that it must be noted that not all of us, possibly even most of us, valued Statesman the way you do. I always found him written to be a pompous and short-sighted fool. So, his death had zero impact on me. His return is of no importance to me.

Still have mine at 40ish. She is, indeed, painfully underwhelming and soon to be nuked. My fire/bio sent, otoh, is rockin. Still have a fire/nin sent, too.

There should be a "holy crap" emote as that was my response seeing that you still had this email.

I guess I'm just a junkie. The vast majority of all of my characters get all 5 health procs. In order of importance, PrevMed, Panacea, Numina, Miracle, Regen Tissue
