You ain't alone.

Power X should do the same base damage (affected by AT mods AND activation time,) cost the same end and have the same recharge across all archetypes. If archetype A has 30% more overall mitigation than archetype B, it should dish out 30% less overall damage. Etc, etc, blah, blah, blah.

The caveat being who can hit 100% to everything? Guess that's why folks are running back to the kill me now T9s for DASF.

I believe that has been shown to be true. Yes, you'll still take 10% damage with 100% damres on a tank or brute, but you'll resist 100% of damres debuffs.

I prefer teams without tanks and blasters. If I really want to steamroll, I'll run with nothing but eight corruptors. ITF testing showed me that. I honestly think this whole argument is SAF. Almost as bad as the knockback threads.

Numerical purity.

I may be old but like a fine barrel aged stout, I'm only getting more glorious with age.

And port it to tanks.

Too soon, man. Too soon.

I haven't played much lately. Hopped on long enough to PL an alt from 18 to 35, stared at Mids for a second, closed Mids, logged off. I agree completely that being cool, gracious and helpful to new players is VITAL to a community's well being. But what do we do to help keep the old fogies around? I mean, hell, the one thing I care about is generally ignored as unimportant by the majority of both players and devs. How should I be reacting to that other than with a shrug?

Claws is better for me on scrappers. Definitely superior on the AoE side and probably better for ST. Claws is the arguably the worst set on stalkers. It was horrifically gutted in completely ludicrous ways and I can't grok how it has been left in that state all this time.

Wish I could say. Every time I've tried savage I've bailed on it. Unsure why other than it feels weird. So I've never crunched any chains for it.

Such crunchy goodness. 2nd for me only to claws.

Yup. And nowadays we don't even need pads to start the majority of them. Just walk on up, say hi and get to the killin.

I laughed. But tab f kill has never done me wrong in game. Especially after tweaking tab to target enemy near.

Sounds like heresy to me.

That's already an option and helps greatly. Drop it to the lowest setting when teamed and marvel at the lessened eye strain. Edit: I misread. Disregard!

Ack. It would be, but the number of enhancements at 50 exceeds our 70 enh limit.

I'd be happier if I all unused enhancements started in inventory and I could move them to trash.

Not for claws. SA sat between Bio and SR. Edit: That was on beta. Figured I had enough claws users so haven't redone it live.

I'll admit... I love and abuse the hell out of fold space on my dark armor/stone tank. If it's up, I'm clickin it.

Very nice. I'm starting to get a better picture of who all around here are the truly insane.

I went seismic/kin. Figure with the KD from the seismic shockwaves, I'd feel safer hanging out in melee, and had no kin. She's 18 just street sweeping but I plan to PL her to 32 and run her for a while with basic IOs and the standard uniques for a while. Will say of the three new stoners I built, she's the most fun so far.
