*nod nod* Latest challenge for me has been making Claws/Everything...and some of those builds, the concept just can't take those nice snipes.

See, I still enjoy it. I don't chase after those perfect DPS builds, as those require sacrifices to the build I don't care to do. As I did back with Paragon Studios, I just want to be able to solo AVs. Not going to grab Cross Punch for that better dps. 😛

While I don't have the build anymore, I made a Spines/DA Scrapper who could attack non stop with no END issues and I used the usual Musculature Radial Alpha and my Destiny was Barrier. So, no, Dark Armor doesn't need that. I believe the issue is being said, one power is better than the other.

Something I'm sure others had to have said and I was thinking while working on a Sonic Melee Stalker, would be nice to see some alternate animations to go with the attacks. Like just a punch or kick that has an added Sonic FX to it.

I was averaging 1:30 Pylon times (using Ston's method of testing). On Beta we see Earsplitter is getting more damage against Attuned Targets for 20% more damage (instead of the 10% it did). Not sure if the additional time of the bonus to Echo/Thrust will make a big difference. Looks like the AOEs will do more damage if used around an Attuned target, but I'm not 100% sure on that, but honestly, I never had issues with the AOE myself, except that I wanted Sonic Clap to be as good as Cross Punch on attuned targets.

I'd like a little longer on the stacks. However, I'm thinking that may have to be a later addition after time playing.

o/ I love taking Thugs personal attacks! I'm shooting two pistols! I was using them before the benefit to use them. Thugs/Time! \o/

It was a nice basically free proc bomb every 45 seconds or is it some other reason people are getting upset? Aren't most PBAOEs in the primaries basically up more often for more damage (especially if you proc them)? Or is it that it was basically free PBAOE damage?

Because it started in Scrappers and it was supposed to be that way forever. Now we'll all feel it's a nerf to this topic. >_>

For the more AOE damage, it might be as bad if one slaps it on the boss, then hits the AOEs and not just put it on any target and hit the AOEs.

Evolving Armor having the choice between -Resist, DDR, or -Regen Resistance depending on stance isn't bad imo. Not sure if the -Regen is all that worth it, but I like that the change was just removing the -Resist from Defense/Efficient Modes. Okay, so when I switch to Defense Mode I no longer get the damage help. I'm okay with that.

Could just roll this one out now, so it can be enjoyed on Christmas. 🙂

The TF does come with a temp power to help kill him 🙂

I don't think anyone is saying you won't take more damage, only that people are blowing it out of proportion. Rage crashes aren't killing people now. Tankers and Brutes have higher resists and health than Scrappers and the -Resist (which is really what people seem to be complaining about) will put them down to Scrapper levels...for 10 seconds. Now let's go with the 50's game...what are you going to have to go along with this crash...oh...things like Barrier or Melee Hybrid or Rebirth. So it really shouldn't be a problem at the 50+ game. Oh, you know, also those little inspirations. Then there's those who just happen to over cap that resistance. But sure, look at percentages make some people all scared when people have been running rage on less than optimal builds and staying alive. Now other complaints, like why can't SS get new Hand Clap just because of Rage, that seems valid.

But it's always been that and as you said, they get it early, they're likely using it early and how many of them are going "Oooooh noooo! I shouldn't have used Rage?" So, all those people used it before their builds were made solid did just fine, they'll do just fine again. It's 10 seconds after 2 minutes of up time.
