what’s the comparison of scrapper vs brute pylon times? i just feel that brutes are the jack of all trades and master of none

it may be a small difference but would you not agree that the statement of “it's not a contest who is doing more damage. Was Brutes back then and is even more so now.” is just not correct given brutes historically have always had the lowest damage? the detailed testing to show that brutes are generally not an optimal choice for people who want the highest melee damage if’s fine for people to enjoy playing brutes and like them as their favourite, but the data does show they aren’t the highest output - partly why the tanker changes have been made to round things off a bit

thanks for insight on procs is the statement about brutes true though? ston’s tests showed brutes were generally the slowest choice of out scrappers, tanks and brutes unless i’m reading the information wrong https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/39300-melee-powerset-comparison/

i’m also unclear on the outcome. these powers had an increase to their AoE size before through gauntlet, but now it’s enforced through a different mechanism - seems in my eyes there’s no difference in AoE size surely the main difference is the ‘overcap’ damage reduction

hey @Spaghetti Betty, delete this thread and keep it to yourself, you’re going to get regen nerfed again 😛

i just tried out dark mastery on test, underwhelming is an overstatement! the 10ft radius seems very underpowered for a 4 minute recharge power

😂

interesting i do agree with your point of view that it's now a very odd ability - if foes are resistant to trawl they get phased? that's quite a chalk and cheese variety of outcomes possible from clicking a power

i quite like it! there's something refreshing about seeing a good value build you'll find that you will have more spare slots once you start getting more IOs and similar. for example in fortitude you could use just two or three Membrane hami O's to get the same result. if you'd like a couple of them DM me your global and i'll send a few over

add a poll, would be interesting to see - hours per week and to add to the thread, i play perhaps twice a week thesedays for about an hour on each session i tend to only play if friends are online and we’re on voicechat. more of a digital livingroom thesedays whilst playing through a few TFs

i agree. the -res component of sonic will work nicely with illusion in my opinion psi assault is one of the worst performing secondaries available for doms but is buoyed by people’s memories of it being good 15 years ago on live

i would go the opposite route - various parts of the market are to no longer be seeded, or seeded less heavily so that natural prices exist with converters, seeded salvage and “any IO is all levels” the market has become a bit artificial

some thoughts as someone who mains a mind/fire dom - overall it seems fine, nothing drastically wrong - Combustion isn't overly great, the animation time is really long - Fire blast is a good power worth having - I wouldn't bother with tough and weave, all your powers are mostly ranged. Just lock stuff down rather than trying to tank mobs - I like the slotting of fireball - I expect you'll need more endurance, slot out health with some more endurance or recovery procs, put some more endurance into stamina - I don't think incinerte will proc that often give its fast recharge, i'd just put hecatomb in it - Rain of fire is awful - I'd 2 slot embrace of fire - Super speed at lvl 49 is a bit odd, you will never exemp a single time?

with mud pots and similar powers generally have a 2 second tick rate as noted the damage would be half that amount surely damage (base, before slotting) would be 7.59 x 5 = 37.95 over a 10 second period else you’d need it to cast 26 damage per tick, which if procced heavily could be achievable

yes as described in a recent thread by another player, all alts by page 30 will be converted into a perfectly uniform, grey cube you may play your hero cube through a number of challenges and click on your uniform cube powers T1-9. each T1 deals 10 damage up to T9 which deals 90 damage base this is the ultimate final form for perfect balance

what a peasant

we were given paradise but we destroyed it what have we done

yeah, even just completing 2-3 taskforces a week and using the merits to buy an LoTG +rech or similar will give you 5m inf a week and that’s a less efficient method than the converter strategy you’ve described

what have i started, can't put the lid back on pandora's box now

uh oh

have you considered donating plasma? i hear you have quite the collection

what is your playstyle? teams or solo? what sort of things do you enjoy? put 2 acc in each of your kin powers, heal in transfusion, recharge in all others. some end mod in speed boost and transfusion slot rad with whatever you like, load up irradiate with procs including -res as it fires reliably there’s no real build strategy required with kin and rad will be doing fine with the damage buffs. salt to taste and enjoy

rather than farming would you like a bunch of inf for your main? feels a shame to come back and be sat in AE rather than re-living the good times. DM me your global if this would help you get playing i would also say that IOs are nice to have but they arent critical when teaming. once you hit 50 you’ll quickly earn enough inf through playing to get kitted out, IOs are around 5 times cheaper than what they were on live

lingering radiation is back on the shelf, baby!
