  1. Or is it detoggling because of status hits? Not a fan of status resist being a click rather than toggle, and unenhanced it doesn't seem perma.

     

    Pretty sure this is all that's going on. Your mez protection drops off, you get tagged with a stun/sleep/hold/etc, and AAO drops off. Once you get enough +rech, it should stop being an issue, but I can't quite remember if IOs will get you there or if you'll need sets.

  2. Quick question on the memorization badges. I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong. I think in the OP it stated the memorization badges kick in around after crafting 8 or 9 of a certain IO (might have totally misread that). I have crafted probably 24 accuracy and 24 damage level 25 IOs on my crafter toon and don’t have the recipes memorized.  Is there something in addition to crafting that I need to do to get the badge?  It would definitely make it cheaper to outfit my alts if I get the memorization badges.

     

    So the invention badges that grant memorization and discounted crafting costs aren't completed by single IO's being crafted, they're usually paired off, and not always in the combos you would think of. Check out this link for the full listing.

  3. First off, thanks for the info. So hard getting back up to speed...sigh.

     

    Two questions:

     

    What IO set would you slot into Tactics?

     

    Kismet: how does that work exactly? Does the 120 second duration go off each time you activate the power? (So you’d have to re-hover every 2 minutes?) Or is it something else?

     

    Thanks!

     

    To be honest with you, I'd either frankenslot Tactics with Gaussian's Synchronized Fire-Control end/ToHit, Adjusted targetting end/tohit and Adjusted Targetting ToHit Buff for the dmg bonus (or Gaussian's ToHit Buff for extra speed, up to you) although my goal would be to allocate 3 Cytoskeleton Exposure Hamidon Origin Ehnancements.

     

    I always use Kismet on my Combat Jumping because the Kismet is on as long as CJ is on, so it's the easiest choice to put it. Same would happen with any defensive toggle such as Maneuvers, Weave, Phalanx Fighting, Grant Cover or Gymnastics from Tactical Arrow. It would also work with Hover but having Hover always on during a fight is something I wouldn't do myself because it's way too slow. If you slot it on a pasive def power that is always on, such as Agile, Doge, Lucky, Tough Hide (I don't think there are others) then it would be always on no matter what, like the Numina or Miracle procs.

     

    I know most of the above examples are melee powers, for Blasters in general I'd say Combat Jumping is the best option, then Hover and then probably Maneuvers (unless Tactical Arrow where Gymnastics would be my first choice).

    Slotted Tactics up with 4/6 Gaussian (1,2,3, and 5) and 2/6 Adjusted Targeting (1 and 5), then slotted the Kismet into Stealth. The Kismet in Stealth (appears) to be 'always on' so long as Stealth is toggled on.

     

    I've posted my setup for how to get this slotted a couple of times now, but like Nightmarer said, you can put Kismet into any toggle power that takes Defense sets, and it'll work as long as the toggle is on.

  5. Maybe we could persuade a GM to hook me up (temporarily) with a boost to 50 and the IOs to try this out in game real quick? Or is there a Test Server that would let me build it out?

     

    EDIT: Just eyeballing it in Pine's, and Tactics alone is reporting 16.3%. Wonder if SCORE did adjust something to make it more efficient?

  6. Here's the latest build plan for my Blaster. I'm showing a To-Hit bonus of 22.4, which should just squeak over the line to perma-snipe. If anyone can check the math, great, but I think this could work. Slotted Tactics up with 4/6 Guassian (1,2,3, and 5) and 2/6 Adjusted Targeting (1 and 5), then slotted the Kismet into Stealth.

  7. iirc you can convert reward merits to hero merits and vice versa in the AH - the machine to the right of the AH in Atlas (the one you but rare io recipes from - i cant remember its name)

     

    That said i think everything is now purchasable via reward merits so hero merits are just a way to condense merits to send them to an alt

     

    Yeah I found this earlier. 50 Reward Merits converts to 1 Hero/Villian merit at the reward merit... ATM? I remember it being a person, but I also didn't use them that much on live. I've been doing a ton more exploring lately to see what's different, and this is a cool change, I think.

  8. Joined up with FF back in... 2009? Spread my wings with them and GH up until shutdown, then pal'd around with some GH alumni in LOTRO, DDO and a couple others ever since. Game is still patching, but looking forward to see all the familiar faces :D
