Bill Z Bubba

Doublechecked. Still 7 hours of dbl xp left. It could be senility. Maybe it was always 33 and I'm not remembering correctly. Now that I'm pondering it, maybe it was 10 maps to 40 then another 10 to 50 and I rarely stopped after just 5.

Since I began fire farm PLing, I follow the same route. Get double XP, street sweep to 6. Join SG. Go to Talos. Run 5 maps of Brigg's fire farm. New character is now 35. This morning, however, I did exactly that, and the new character just barely dinged 33. Anyone have an explanation? Edit: Explanation found. My memory sucks.

ohh... tentacle PIE.... /leaves disappointed

This is why my floppy drive is USB.

Inf is split after being buffed by number of players on team.

Yea, I can grok that.

I ended up going the other way. Being able to fully trick out a new 50 with purps/pvps/other sets and then T3 all in less than 8 hours of gameplay ended up causing me to go back to slow leveling and, lately, just playing Cyberpunk instead. Hell, actually buying IOs and slotting them was more time consuming than leveling and unlocking incarnate powers. But for two years, I was absolutely on that alt-account-farmer ride and it was good. Side thought: I really don't get the folks asking for more door sitters. More than two on the team drastically kills leveling speed of the alt you're getting to 50.

It's a non-issue. After softcapping, build for +resist and +HP, then natural regen and the various heal/absorb procs more than cover the HP loss.

Negative. Just because you're playing with yourself doesn't change the fact that you're duoing the game. Might as well consider 8 boxing soloing which most can do with even moderately decent rigs theses days.

But that's the point. On melee, there's no fumbling through anything, there's no slowing down, there's just wading through the masses with no need for situational awareness or tactics. There's burn farms, then there's melee in standard content, then there's everybody else lagging behind. The situation changes dramatically as the team size becomes greater than 1, of course, but solo? Nah, no blaster is going to outpace a meleer from 1 to 50 there.

Same case. Blaster would actually do better post 50 than 1-50. (Edit: But still won't be able to touch the solo speed of a meleer.) When you can hit max diff and not die at 30, you're going to pull way ahead of those that can't on leveling speed.

3 vetlvls per hour solo in Dark Astoria with BZB scrap. Granted, that's fully kitted out and T4ed. I don't see blasters pulling that off. I also don't see any blaster soloing faster than any scrapper/brute solo from 1 to T4ed. I honestly have to call complete BS on that. Hell, even a tank will probably solo faster than a blaster just due to mez protection and being able to crank the diff up far earlier. Zerging for mission complete can't hold a candle to max diff clear all XP. Blasters rock at 50 after they've got all the cheat powers in place. Until then? Nah, they'll be wasting far too much time bouncing between mission and hospital/base while meleers are cranking through without issue.

That's so evil even I approve.

Specifically from the three passives. With all three, starting at 60% health, the resist scales up to 60% at 0 health. Throw in a fully slotted tough and then set bonuses for more and you start hitting ridiculous levels of resists while still being softcapped with capped DDR. Well built and played, it's cruise control immortality. Some notes: the scaling resists from the passives do NOT include psi protection. All other damage types are covered (toxic was recently added.) But many psi attacks have a positional component, so those get covered by your defenses and you can again shore that up with set bonuses should you desire.

Comes up blank for me in browser. With discord open, still opens blank in browser with no access. Would still very much like a new data dump here in the forums of the latest info.

At first, I was left wondering why I would need high tech roller blades to fight a gang but then couldn't figure out how I'd get them over the hooves. I then realized my reading failure.

But Sent SR's passive scaling resists go to 80% instead of 60% for the meleers. ... while capping at 75% which makes total sense...

/jranger

I resemble that remark.

Because your Corr is doing 1.5 scale 30% of the time.

/jumps into the fray and attacks both SaintD and TheZag with Spin. BATTLE!

I still don't. Much like the tank buff, where you're left with too much damage output in comparison to the mitigation you have, going procmonster is easily covered with Ageless, Tactics-FocAcc and HOs while still benefiting from a ridiculous level of general power creep from set bonuses and incarnate abilities. And if you want to solo a Posi you just use a second build.

Oh c'mon.. it's the internet. Have you met any people? It's all got to be laid out in its entirety with footnotes and citations.

Got a hundred somethin vet lvls on my fire/bio sent "me" character. Gotta be somethin good there.

Numbers don't lie. Some people lie about the numbers while some others don't understand them.
