See, Blasters ARE the new Scrappers!

This is what Scrapperlock is for. Also Elec/SD is made to deal with this problem as well. I suggest making an Elec/SD Stalker or Scrapper and telenuking into mobs before the Blasters can. Treat it like a contest, whover aggros mobs first wins. This is how I play my Blasters and Scrappers.

I haven't done any math to back it up, but I only add damage procs if my enhanced damage is high and I can use it for a set bonus, or I have an extra slot or two to spare somewhere. But as Bopper mentioned I prioritize survivability, so an extra slots are in very short supply.

I have a compromise! The enemies are +3 to whoever the highest level shifted player is. That way players can have their +3 level shifts, and the TF gets tougher as a result. I solve problems, all the problems.

That's just what they want you to think!

A rose by any other name?

Influence per minute for dedicated farmers on the low end is 333,333 influence per minute, and just starting out on my Ice/Fire Blaster I'm already around 400-500k a minute, which will only get higher as I upgrade Incarnate abilities and become more efficient in general. And I don't think I'm anywhere near the top end of that either. That also doesn't take into account drops which will raise that number likely a significant amount. Now this is all running solo, having door sitters will lower those numbers. I imagine the better farmers doing it a few hours a day can easily surpass a million influence a minute. edit: This is for when farming at level 50. On farms that exemplar you to 49, you can double the numbers. I completely forgot about that.

I need this in my life. How do we make this happen?

I'm starting to think Blasters are the new Scrappers, at least maybe for me.

I had no idea about running that first arc via Ouro! This is huge and awesome and going to make upgrading my powers so much easier.

This is what I do.

Since we've touched on it a few times, and the thread is about challenge, what do yall think it would take to solo the STF? I'm most experienced with Scrappers, but I'm not so sure that's the right AT for the job. The damage is there, but it's only gonna take two hits for Recluse to kill you before you knock down a single tower. Thinking definitely Shivans, nuke, T4 Incarnate powers for all six, and a tray full of Super Inspirations. What restrictions should be put on such a challenge? Or should there be none until somebody actually does it?

I have mine in LR and it usually triggers when I use it. Since I'm pretty sure LR doesn't crit(not positive though), then having it there means I can follow up with Thunderstrike and/or Jacob's Ladder and have a high chance to crit on multiple targets.

How would that work? So if they strike a deal with the HC team does that mean all the other servers magically disappear? Do they start sending out notices to them after the deal is made? Wait for them to die off on their own? Either way your version sounds like more work and more time when NCSoft could copy and paste some text then send out emails and/or letters to various hosting companies right now and do the same thing. And it would take less time which means they spend less money.

How do the negotiations make this any easier for NCSoft to squash anything? All it will take is a C&D to the hosting company and the servers are gone. Nothing about this makes that any easier or harder.

For Willpower specifically, I imagine the Brute is going to be since they'll benefit more from Willpower's regen due to the higher HP. In a TF the Scrapper is going to out damage the Brute in most cases. Both will be good and offense and defense, so it really depends what you want more. Unless you have a pocket Kin giving you Fulcrum Shift, then I'd absolutely go Brute.

That's fair, I absolutely understand and fully back you(or anyone) that has a problem with a company refusing to give them business.

If NCSoft is offering me something I want at a price I'm willing to pay, I'm in. They don't care about me and I don't care about them, so no hard feelings from me.

The stats of the enhancement also exemplars down with you, so if your level 50 character exemplared for a level 35 mission, the acc/dam/etc effects will be as if the enhancement was level 35.

This is what I do. Except when a buddy and I made two Time Defenders that we only plan on doing end game content with, never exemplaring. So I boosted most of mine instead. I can't think of another character in which I would do that with though. Great characters, but we liked our Cold Defenders more.

Has anyone done a solo Ms Liberty TF? That seems like a good challenge. Gross

You don't have to maximize defense for it to have an impact. With Weave and the two 3% defense IOs, you'll only need about 9%-ish(I think, don't have Pines in front of me) from set bonuses to reach 20% and that will be helpful.

They haven't this time, and I agree wouldn't be surprised if they don't. But the last major extension from 1998, The Mickey Mouse Protection Act, was lobbied for by Disney. They weren't the only ones, many big companies fought for that corporate welfare. And when I say lobby, I really do mean pay off. My biggest problem with such changes(of many) is how they apply retroactively. Clearly longer terms were not needed for content created before then, so they should have been left to expire according the law at the time they were created.

What Disney actually does to retain control is pay off politicians to extend copyright. Though there are rumors they are considering not doing that again here in a few years.
