[Incorrect bonuses on Summon Demons]

Looks to me like the dmg/resist "bug", and it is using the resist ED softcap rather than the dmg one?

[Latest patch tripping antivirus]

Nice quote  ;)

[Fix Soul Drain - Soul Mastery]

I didnt even realize dark mastery had a larger pbaoe than soul's. 

Soul mastery feels like it is using the dark melee template, where dark mastery was actually tuned for ranged AT from the start.

 

Imo the level unlock (power order) of the epics seem a bit arbitrary at times, and shouldnt affect the power's effectiveness.

[Endurance Regeneration Suggestion]

This is WAI, the difference is, you are using LESS total % of endurance because you have MORE end. This is accurate, because the static number, has remained the same, while the percentage changes based on values

[Make Frostwork an Absorb Shield]

Imo, as a long time cold defender, current frostwork is sub par. It has very limited usefulness, as it is single target with a decent cooldown, and works best as a preventative measure. The max HP caps limit its usefulness further at endgame with accolades and set bonuses come into play. The minimal regen bonus is mostly negligible on most AT. 

Making it absorb however allows the power to function at intended capacity from min level into incarnate territory, it allows it to be a 'save a teammate' type power, or 'beef the tank' if needed. Which would actually make me want to use it in more standard situations. 

As much as i would like the versatility to heal as a cold, healing is supposed to be the lacking element in this powerset.

 

[boost burn]

Burn has an accuracy check on the large upfront damage, then lays a psuedo-pet that ticks away, causing enemies to want to reposition. 

The power is perfectly balanced for it's intent, and does not need any changes.

[Power goes off before completion of animation]

This is just another symptom of the age/spaghetti-ness of the code. Certain targets/actions will break or cancel animation sequences. It may look a little funny, but has no negative impact (aside from immersion)

[Cold/Sonic or Sonic/sonic]

For how great Cold is, it doesnt seem to be a widley used powerset (from my experience, maybe due to being late bloomer.) However, once you get your last 3 powers, it begins to shine. Then you stack global recharge and it starts to become godly. 

I love my cold/sonic, turns AVs into marshmallows.

[Steam Pack recharge bug.]

Once per map meaning you need a loading screen to allow the power to be activated again.

This is how i remember it from live, i may be wrong

Detoggling early allowing its use again is intersting to know

[Perma Elude]

If what i hear is correct, the bonuses stacked up from IOs allows SR to softcap defense without elude, effectively making it useless as it doesnt add any extra effective survival, but still crashes you at the end

[Reactive interface DoT not working]

As far as i have heard, all interface DoTs are not functioning properly atm, but the debuffs are

[Steam Pack recharge bug.]

Steam jump and the jump pack were designed to be used once per map (for whatever reason i cant remember atm) but it being grayed out after recharge (and detoggling after a certain period) are WAI (working as intended)

[Let's talk about the Knockdown Proc.]

Other winners include but not limited to: Energy blast/manipulation, storm, fire control: bonfire, any nova/resurect with kb component

[Suggesters - Why The Standard Code Rant?]

Theres a reason programmers have the unfortunate nickname 'code monkeys', users and executives are IGNORANT to exactly how intricate and precise coding really is. Heck, even simply changing a variable can throw the whole system out of whack. 'Minor' alterations in how a program works can end up being a task of reinventing the wheel. I have great respect for people who work tirelessly to make us only have to simply 'click' thing x to accomplish y

[Enhancement Catalyst drops]

Can I complain I dont get a purple every run as well /s

My main is vet 23 and ive got maybe 10 catalysts, so no, ther likely isnt anything wrong

[New player - 'account and password incorrect']

No, no. Please head over to getting started, and go through the ingame account creation.

[Add headbands to Standard]

This, i have a certain short, red character that would love to have a headband, because it looks way cooler than a belt.

[Do scrappers use up Endurance faster than brutes?]

For a more specific answer: all powers have the same endurance costs across all AT, EXCEPT masterminds, who have a multiplier because their pets do a lot of the work

[I Knew an MMO that...]

To be fair half of those features took a while to be introduced into the game, but the fact they are there, and so starkly contrast the modern gaming 'model' of carving up content to sell to you as PrEmIuM sErViCeS, is glorious. I am actually kind of glad NCSoft dropped the game. "You either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain"

[Are there any underpowered power sets you'd like to see buffed?]

Broadsword: add just a couple more feet to the cones (swipe? and headsplitter) to make them feel like im not swinging a dagger length weapon. (My BS/FA scrap seems to do ok, with proper buffs/debuffs from team it hits pretty darn hard) 

 

Little OT question: do powerset changes affect enemies that use them?

["I Need Healing" - A Beginner's Guide to Defenders]

Can anyone explain why cold is tier 2 when the only missing components are healing and damage buffs(which is made up for with def for survival, and -res, which is way more valuable IMHO)? 

My cold/sonic has had some of the fastest TF runs out of any of my chars, and it feels like most people just gloss over the set completely for more 'flashy' or thematic sets

Such a heartwarming story of a degenerate getting a taste of their own medicine.  8)

[Numina’s Convenience vanished multiple times]

Have you changed builds? Have you checked ALL of your enhancement pages? Did you accidentally buy the recipe instead? Do you have the delete enhancement prompt disabled? (Right clicking and pressing 'd' is the shortcut to delete, which usually pops up the prompt unless disabled)

[clicking bottom of screen brings up windows taskbar]

Im pretty sure it is some kind of hotkey setting in windows, as my toddler decided to play my kb like a piano and now am having the same issue.

 

Upon further testing, this appears to be an issue with windows and certain active programs in the background, try closing any extra programs until it goes away

[Kin/Sonic defender vs Sonic/Kin corruptor]

I agree with Hjarki in that kin can be a bit busy. I run sonic on my cold, where i lay down sleet (and benumb if AV) and then just rotate through all my blasts. Just howling is ok, but thinkgs like bosses and some lieuts need to be hit by a few single hits to make them fall closer to the weaklings, giving a smoother clear. 

 

Not to say kin is bad, just doesnt have as much room to utilize sonic to its most.
