They're open world targets and I don't recall massive rewards for them, with the majority of vanguard merits coming from rikti defeats. I believe the real thing, may be a start on timers, but there is an instance they can go to.

I recall taunt not working 100% on live. I'd have runners on my Ice/Ice Tanker back on live. Maybe not as much as I see now, but runners from taunt auras, I saw.

I've seen him run from taunts and taunt auras. I've seen plenty of enemies run from taunt auras.

As a Scrapper, I never question this. The only enemy I feel I need to worry about running, is some AV with nasty regen. A normal enemy, I'm a scrapper, I can run them down 😛

Made such a set in the Epic Powerset thread. Want a time armor set so much!

Also gives 2 EMP Merits, which turns in for 10 Merits each. A nice way to get those expensive 100 Merit IOs when wanted.

I don't know. Ice Mistral set maxes out the Slow aspect and it didn't feel like it did anything. I know I was hoping the slow would stop the need for the taunt aura (plus there's it's immobilize aspect).

There you go 🙂

Newest commission by https://www.deviantart.com/nicetsukichi of my EM/Bio Scrapper! Love it so much, had to share it 🙂

I originally slotted the Ice Mistral set into Mud Pots. I can say I didn't really notice the proc or the slow making a difference. I'm sure the proc probably helped in some very tiny way, but the slow being enhanced, didn't see a difference at all.

Scrappers don't get Darkest Night. Moonbeam you can still throw in there tho.

Energy Melee/Bio or Claws/Stone! Had some real fun with these combos. Enough fun, that I was sad that neither combo fit my namesake 😞

Hmmm...what this thread did do, was make me realize, I could go with the DAMAGE IO (Apocalypse) in Moonbeam, instead of the DAMAGE/RECHARGE IO. Still keeps it gapless on the chain (except for the 4.3 seconds of no Hasten).

I never considered it griefing myself. However, I never considered it griefing or rude if someone jumped in on a one on one match in a open pvp zone. Want to one on one without someone jumping in, use arena 😛

I did mean Moonbeam. As for the slotting and using the */RCH, I needed it to keep me on no gaps.

On my Claws/Stone, I didn't worry about softcapping F/C defense. I just capped it's resists.

Personally, I go... ET (Long or Short if I get the critical on TF for 2 Energy Focuses) > Total Focus (+50% Crit IO here for me) > ET (slotted with Hecatomb +5ed with no DAM/END IO, w/ 6th slot another Damage Proc) > Bone Smasher > Moonbeam > Repeat I know others have disagreed with my slotting in another thread, but I like it, as I don't feel it wastes End Reduction in ET, which costs no End to use. As for AOE, just using Whirling Hands. I feel no need for Power Crash. Edit: I did mean Moonbeam and not Gloom

I agree. But I would hope they brought up the others and not put Gloom/Moonbeam down. What I want in an Epic Pool attack, is putting it my normal rotation. It it takes down my damage, I wouldn't use it, at least not as much. I could see using a range attack as utility, but I want it for more than that personally. Normal rotation use.

Is it to much different than the Gloom/Moonbeam for the melee ATs?

Well, Build Up doesn't allow damage enhancements. Fulcrum Shift doesn't allow damage enhancements. I think the issue is, none of those powers do damage. What they do, is increase damage, which is different.

Except in the Marvel TSR RPG, his healing factor is called Regeneration and he also has Recovery. They didn't call it Healing Factor in the game mechanics.

My first thought is, some regens may not have the metal for Magneto to put a hold on them 😛

I don't grab Moonbeam and Soul Storm just for it's awesome looks and how Moonbeam helps all ST DPS. I love having a hold for Hami Raids and LGTF. So nothing wrong with going with Blaze for Char and Melt Armor which can feel like a nice fire ball.

If you want to just go for the 5 slot set bonus and not get the 6th for 10% +Recharge Bonus, sure, but the endurance reduction is wasted in Energy Transfer.

The best place is Total Focus. That way you can 5 slot Hecatomb in Energy Transfer, skipping the DAM/ENDRED IO of the set, since Energy Transfer doesn't use Endurance. Then if you have room, slot in an another Damage Proc. WP has a taunt aura too. However, secondary can go to lots. Energy Aura has a taunt aura. And how could I forget Shield Defense. That may be what you're really looking for.
