I like spinners.

Choose Claws. Six slot Spin. Profit.

My fire/bio sent managed it at max diff, no faceplants. Can't recall if it was also no temps/insps. Hover blasting kept me alive but the main problem was low DPS on top of AVs running all over the damn map. Pretty sure the time was around 3.5 hours. For comparison, my shield/nrg tank does it in 1.5.

It does. As does irradiated ground. Should have specified it as secondary damage auras. Still dumb. Hell, Burn should crit. Ain't holdin my breath for it, though.

Plus base crits and the even higher crit values as the two scrapper ATOs come into play. Edit: Ooops, nevermind. Crits don't come into play with damage auras for some stupid reason.

Yea, it's a chasm. Easier to have fun with it when you can turn off the analysis. I get the drive to cut the edge but ya gotta find a balance.

Since we can't have one without the other, (meaning, the powers work the same way in both,) both.

Not gonna say I've never known this... but it sure as hell ain't in the current brain-db. Thx.

It is damn good for that. 🙂 Edit: When I was doing that swipe-only scrapper, I rebound tab to targetenemynear (unsure if that's right) and have been wondering ever since why that wasn't my default... Edit2: I remembered... can't quickly tab through a spawn to see what's there. But still... damn fun on melee cuz we don't care.

I tried it once. Horrible experience.

It's been made abundantly clear that most people around here don't want that.

This. Also, it's impossible to mimic in game her ability to partially phase another person, say their leg, into the ground and then let go. You do NOT want to mess around with Dark Shadowcat.

Tab-F-1-2-3 repeat has been how I've played CoH since the first day I played it. Follow will always get you into melee range if you're on the ground and the target is not running away from you, where it will always fail even if you're running 10x as fast. It will always fail to do so if you're hovering. If often works if you have Fly on due to drift unless you've otherwise killed drift.

Said every majority to every minority throughout human history.

Hope springs eternal. And then gets whack-a-moled by reality.

But at that point, it's important to go all in and slot for max KB. And then invite me to your team one night so I can play something that grooves properly with it and it will absolutely be a frellin hoot. This is not sarcasm. Every manner of all X whatever teams in this game are freaking awesome. I'd happily bring my PB or Emp/Nrn Defender on one of those.

This sounds like a decent compromise.

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that mindset. I have sg mates that only slot the kb-kd io in aoe powers. Hell, even I see the benefit of KB when I'm solo. Let's not forget that my first character ever and still main had knockback in shockwave for YEARS before I was given the option to change it to KD. This is precisely why player choice should matter. This is why a global IO to change all KB to KD (or even an All Knock is Disabled option) is desired, be it an IO or a Null the Gull option.

My only argument lay below. Electric Shackles has better DPA than BOTH Snap and Aimed Shot. Hard to make the argument that it's not supposed to be considered a damage attack. Especially considering that these three attacks are the ones you get to use while mezzed. And this is NOT only the case with archery/atomic. They just happen to be the first in the list with Mids due to alphabetical order. Edit: But of course I agree that the highest damage attack chain probably doesn't use any of them.

It's still a CC power. Knock is CC. Be it down, up or back. They can't attack me when they're on their back. Changing it to down and adding damage procs makes it actually useful for a blapper so that I can follow it with EP and BS. Absolutely zero difference in that than procing out any other non-damaging power, like Infrigidate (yay, I finally spelled it correctly.)

You've made me realize that I was assuming drop rates were affected in the same way as XP... and we all know what happens when we assume things.

I'm starting to believe that Darkest Night and Fold Space need to be taken on every tank/brute I build. Edit: Gloom and Tport Other are damn nice as well.

This thread is dildos?

We've all had our "oh gods below, what have I done now" moments.

Are we in the same SG?
