Is Vengeful Slice really good on Stalkers for ST DPS?

I thought the Damage Bonus made it to live too, but thinking on it, maybe Staff doesn't have any +Damage boost to it.

I love a lot of the lower end sets, and while I think even at the lower end they're rea;;y not that terrible, but at the same time, I get it...they all get you there but when others can get you there a bit faster... As for your Tanker, did the damage reduction on Tankers not cancel out the Staff improvement?

Okay, yes, that listing does mean one is generally going to be focusing on procs, which will have a factor on the build. However, in the case of Scrappers, I'm not to sure the numbers are that far off. For Scrappers you're putting in 2 ACC/DAM +3 HOs in every attack. After that all melee attacks can take at least 3 Damage Procs (Touch of Death, Mako's Bite, Gladiator's Strike), which leaves one Proc left to find. Now there is the one Purple Unique that can fill in one of the melee attacks if multiple of them can only take from melee sets. So, looking at Slash. 4 damage procs & 2 +3 HOs (according to mids) is doing 262.4 damage. 3 damage procs & 3 +3 HOs is doing 256.1. So a difference of 6.3 damage. Yes, it would add up over time...HOWEVER should be noted, if one feels the ACC of 2 +3 HOs is enough, that third HO could be a Damage/EnduranceReduction for better end use. One could also just use a +5 Damage IO for 258.1 damage, so making the damage difference only 4.3 points. And I get that one will generally not build around this style (I don't...want to for some build maybe at some point), as people generally like more survival, I do feel the list gives a good idea of what to expect for all things equal. Now Tankers/Brutes who it says to slot 6 damage procs per attack...the list could look totally different. *nod nod*

It's the 5th best ST DPS set. Just behind Dual Blades by 2 seconds.

That is something I did forget. Power Siphon and it's -Damage being weak, but I don't know how how to really improve Power Siphon other than all the stacks to last longer. Would be nice to see it be considered as effective as Follow-Up and Blinding Feint.

I'd give Focused Burst Total Focus level damage. Concentrated Strike would do full crit damage and possibly Energy transfer level damage. Repulsing Torrent could use a damage bump to maybe make it more worthwhile to take and not just as a knockdown power. Could give Focused Burst a hold component, but the damage would likely be enough. Another thought is to make Focused Burst snipe level damage, even if that means locking out snipes in Epics, making it so you don't have two snipes.

True, but this amount of love, I figure is easy to implement and not require much in the way of testing, like other sets that could use some love would need.

You have Taskmaster there the same reason Suicide Squad had Slipknot. Gotta kill someone off to feel the pressure! Also, no one liked her. 😛

I wouldn't think anything fudged or else, why not fudge the other shows they had that didn't make it. Why do it for Iron Heart?

And neither Time Crawl or Time Stop do damage (unless one slots with procs). I was thinking Time Crawl could lead to Time Stop having a much higher -Regen, like 150%. So you'd still have to take Time Crawl to stack with Time Stop for that 250% total. I'd of course like to see it a bit higher. Split between two powers, why not Time Crawl to 150% and Time Stop to 150% or keep it at 50% but add another 100% if the target is effected by Time Crawl. So 300% total, which would still be less than other's 500% but would likely still be noticable.

Time Manipulation needs a -Regen buff imo. Get it up there to mean something. Either with Timel Crawl doing more than it's -100% or Time Stop doing more than it's -50% Regen when under the effects of Time Crawl. I don't think this will overpower the set, but it will help it more with the single hard targets.

Or give it the 100% but also let it have the combo builder.

Currently playing an EM/Psi Scrapper. Good thing about EM and PSI is the stuns of EM and Aura of Insanity stack and so you can also get the AoI debuffs if EM stuns them while they're in your aura.

I'm surprised. I enjoyed both movies and both movies were good, but I find Superman to be the more rewatchable (seen it three times in the theater)

This is handy! Thanks 🙂

Changing it now would make me have to get used to looking for it elsewhere!

Agree on the stalker fan. Meh on her. Figure she's more plot device than anything else. Enid I see as Enid but now possibly a little more popular. Still wondering if they're going to have Enid and Wednesday become a couple. Bianca has matured but I feel she was on that path as it was. Pugsly. Time will tell. The possibly dumber little brother. Also possibly using as a plot device to. Like getting the zombie into the picture.

For the hate it has seemed to have gotten, it made it into the top 10 with viewing, which the other shows I believe failed at doing.

This is what I would love! Don't need more content, but would be nice to be hard to out level content. I accidently out leveled the first Warden solo mission in Nova and had to wait till level 15 to Ouro it. Only have 1 pure gold sider (lvl 50+3) but it's on Everlasting so access to all the itrials hasn't always been easy 😛 Would love to get in on more itrials to get those itrial badges.

I don't think there's any need to be different or the same to be respectful. Ray died, the part continues, it has to be recast. The important part is just to give it the right actor. Any relation or ability to look like the deceased is not an issue. At least they're being smart and actually recasting it and not being stupid like they were with Black Panther. Maybe they've learned their lesson.

I'd guess the issue there, is it would make the use of the CS Proc random, as the toggle would only have a chance every 10 seconds.

Wait, does this mean that the 50% Proc in Kinetic Melee's Smashing Blow will allow you to keep that for the next 4.118 seconds? And does it only work for the next attack or does it work for for every attack you can squeeze into that 4.118 seconds?

I agree. He didn't come off as much of an asshole in the series and I thought it was messed up what they had the government do to him. Not saying they shouldn't have taken away the shield/title, but it's not like Steve didn't go about killing Nazi's, and John just killed a terrorist, who may not have been the one to kill his friend directly, but he was there as the group and things got heated. Also, in Thunderbolts, he came off as right more than once. Elevator shaft scene, while the others didn't like it, he was not only correct but saved them all (okay, Bob would've been fine :p) and when he told Yelena there was to many variables and then she acts like he shouldn't have moved when her plan fell apart and he was screwed 😛 Though, I do believe she gave him a compliment later about being a good soldier. Of course, on the digs, they were all going to do that regardless.

As I rewatch Thunderbolts, I have to say, I'm not sure I'd have considered the guy John killed, innocent. 😛
