    We're going to need some more information if you want productive feedback. What kind of content are you focused on? Teams? Solo? What attack style? Melee Mace? Ranged Mace? Gun attacks? Are you planning on taking the pets? How un-min maxed are we talking? Generally most people who are asking for builds will want to start with both ATO sets slotted, and all of the usual suspects (Miracle, Numina, Performance Shifter, Panacea, Gamblers, the def/res uniques). For the rest of the suggested sets, I can't help if I don't know what powers you're takong. If you're asking for non-IO set suggestions then just go with the standard "1 acc, 3 dam, 1 end, 1 rech" in attacks and "1 end, 1-3 def/res" in toggles. Gotta give us more to work with to help you.

    This is objectively false. Please don't spread misinformation. Preferably, please delete your post so others don't get confused For damage, see the link here, which shows the appropriate scales, which have nothing to do with primary vs secondary: https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Damage#Damage_Scale As you can see, primary vs secondary can vary wildly from Blasters doing 112.5% damage in their primary with Defenders doing 65% to Stalkers doing 100% with a primary melee attack to Dominators doing 105% with an identical secondary melee attack. Paragonwiki also has the scales for various support and defense sets too if you look on each ATs page.

    Yes, again, that's not a bug. http://web.archive.org/web/20140625171903/http://tomax.cohtitan.com/data/powers/ Here's the old powers archive. You can see for yourself that this is how its always been for all ATs. Go and click on one and check the stats between identical powers in APPs vs PPPs. Because the pets and different powers were considered a big benefit, the raw stats of the overlapping powers were intentionally left lower in PPPs. That's how its always been. Not a bug, but definitely something you can suggest for a change.
  4. Omega-202
    It's not a bug, that's just how most Patron and Epic sets compare in other ATs too. For example Soul drain in Corruptor/Defender Soul PPP has twice the recharge of the one in Dark APP. Back on live this was considered justified because the PPP's were usually considered to have better/more powerful options. For example, snipes for Stalker/Scrappers, Power Boost in the aforementioned Soul for Cor/Def and all of the pets. Whether it's still true that the PPPs are more powerful is up for debate, but this is definitely not a bug. If you'd like to suggest a change, feel free to post in the Suggestions section.

    I would also suggest Apex/Tin Mage speed runs. With a solid team, you can finish both in less than 45 mins and grab some Empyrean Merits and salvage as well as regular merits. I know its not solo, but they really don't require much teamwork or discussion with the team (especially TM). I've carried plenty of anchors through those TFs.

    OK, threads over. He's either trolling or mentally ill. I guess the Earth is also flat, we never went to the moon and JFK is hanging out with Elvis and the lizard people in the Area 51 pizzaria basement.

    You also do realize the Nictus Essences don't respawn right? So if you take out two, die, and come back, you still made progress. Ignoring the fact that self rezzes are totally a thing, including Return to Battle which everyone should have in their hotbar. You keep showing how little you know about this game every time you post. How do you keep digging a hole every time you open your mouth?

    A full vid of both a blaster and tank were posted in this thread on the previous page. Go watch them. You cannot seriously tell us with a straight face that there's a conspiracy going on where 4 different people (two of which are blasters) have faked solo ITF videos.
  9. Omega-202
    Cool. Now address the 4 videos of people soloing the ITF that were posted.
  10. Omega-202
    You guys should cut back on the sarcasm. I honestly don't think Rial is smart enough to tell that you're joking.
  11. Omega-202
    He may not run it in combat/standard play, but pocket full stealth (when combined with the io) is awesome to have in any build. None of my characters ever run without it. It can turn a 90 min Manticore run into a 50 min run. You can't always rely on someone else in the team to do the stealthing. Also, kind of fits Homelander. He is shown to have a penchant for moving so quickly that he pops up behind people without them knowing he's there.
  12. Omega-202
    Please check the above thread in the guides section.
  13. Omega-202
    I would recommend closing this thread. It's completely devolved from its initial discussion and just become a dozen people telling one person they are wrong about every facet of the game. Rial can't be helped and its just wasting everyone's time.
  14. Omega-202
    I'd do it on test so its free. We can make a spectacle of it and have a bunch of people come watch him get embarassed. Hell, anyone confident in their skills can also make their own 50 Blaster and we can take turns making him look like an ass.
  15. Omega-202
    A) Incarnate trials dont scale at all. They are always at a set level. Have you ever even run one? B) I'm game to walk you through a solo'd ITF. On the condition that you give me your login info after I prove you wrong so I can delete all of your characters. You must also agree to never create a new account. If you're cool with that wager, I'll set up on the test server and we can figure out a date to run it. Being that you're too much of a moron to even watch the posted run video, I doubt you have the balls to put up or shut up.
  16. Omega-202
    You're not getting hit with Psi attacks because your positional defenses are covering for it. If its a ranged psi attack, the game takes the higher of your range and psi defense and uses that.
  17. Omega-202
    You don't have any clue about the game mechanics. Nothing scales to Incarnates. Why are you commenting on things that you're completely ignorant of? You're arguing against people who know this game like the back of their hand while you have a child's grasp of the game. Please stop. You don't know what you're talking about. To make it worse, people are trying to educate you and you refuse to look at the evidence. Anyone with half a brain knows its possible to solo every TF in the game and with some practice could do so on the test server if asked to.
  18. Omega-202
    Yes, all of that new content we have coming... Have fun waiting for all of that. There's a real disconnect with reality in this thread.
  19. Omega-202
    So instead of playing your preferred way by instituting self limitations, you want to take away any option for other people to play their preferred way? Does that not reek of entitlement and selfishness? "Play my way because I have no self control!" is all I'm hearing from your arguments
  20. Omega-202
    It really seems like RialVestro hasn't actually played a competently built Blaster. All of what's being argued is wrong and sounds like someone who only experienced Blasters back in i5.
  21. Omega-202
    You are making no sense. There is a difference between grind and "content". Grind is the reptition of content for no other reason than artificial inflation of play time in the pursuit of a reward. Playing through a mission is fun for its own sake. It becomes grind when you're playing said mission for the Xth time and the enjoyment is no longer derived from the activity itself and is instead derived from a carrot on a stick being waved in front of you. Then its pure operant conditioning and you're just one of those morphine mice hitting the junkie button over and over. I know you bowed out of the thread, but come on...you have to see the stupendous hypocrisy here. "I can't accomodate other people's preferences because its breaking my own legs, but everyone else should accomodate me and 'grow an imagination'". There's an amazing lack of social awareness in you arguments.
  22. Omega-202
    The old city of data has the total cast and interrupt times. I think that you can estimate by subtracting one from the other. http://web.archive.org/web/20140705012748/http://tomax.cohtitan.com/data/powers/archetype.php?at=1 1.33 is accurate for the "one arm sniper blast" animation for Sniper Blast and Zapp.
  23. Omega-202
    Why are you comparing "the solo specialist AT" to the "Glass Cannon AoE specialist AT" in a solo based metric test? You sound like a complete idiot who has lost the thread of the conversation. Of couse the Scrappers going to win here. You're racing a sports car and a jeep on flat terrain. Of course the sports car will win. But change the scenario, put the Blaster in a large team situation where their AoE matters or where the Scrapper's defenses stop mattering when they're both IOd out at the defense cap, and the Blaster will put the Scrapper to shame.
  24. Omega-202
    Hard pass. Do you have every available badge yet? Do you have a star next to every story arc in Oro? There's plenty of grind in the game still. What it sounds like is that you want something to lord over people's heads to say "look how much more dedicated I am".
  25. Omega-202
    None of what you're describing has anything to do with the aggro cap. You're remembering things with rose colored glasses. I was there in those days. I remember everything from Warwolf farms and "dumpster diving" and original Dr Quarterfield. The "heart pounding" you feel is lacking is completely irrelevant to the aggro cap, it has to do with power creep and knowledge creep. Players are just better now and characyers are 5 times more powerful. Every character I have at 50 is defense capped, regardless of the AT or set. That just chamges things in ways that make your above example impossible to go back to (ignoring the fact that your examples are fictitious fuzzy memories of gameplay that only existed on bad teams in the time between ED and IOs).
