Mr. Vee

Yes these 'douchers' are hiding all the info unless you search for 'farm' or just scan the new post feed or ask the help channel. As to the dropping 60 mil for things to combine....are you talking about the couple of Hami-Os that people actually slot? Cuz those aren't 60 million because of farmers, they're 60 million because they're the only thing in the game that's both actually rare and sought after and they can't be made with merits. Piles of farm influence can't inflate the market in general because merits effectively hardcap everything else. So yeah, farmers have billions, but they're either just sitting on it or giving it away.

Shards don't drop in incarnate specific content so if a lot of your activity is DA or trials you're adding to the already rare drop chance. Of course that's more than made up for with threads etc.

I feel like we've kind of let down the OP by not mentioning that the delayed healing is kind of symptomatic of time as a set. It has about everything you'd want in a set but it takes a while to get all those things rolling and the animations are a bit on the slow side - on a good team by the time you get your buffs off first mob is dead, second mob dead after debuffs, maybe an attack or two on third mob but then oh, time to buff again, repeat. I made the mistake of rolling water/time which is two busy sets together. It's basically got so much going on that it's not even really a good toon. So it's a great set and it has all the tools to make time lovers feel like they've got something real. But even when i use nothing but time, time won't give me time.

if it helps, my kamikaze melee fortunata has practically no resistance (s/l/e/n is just shield wall unique, 7.5 from defensive amplifier and whatever i'm getting from the reactive defenses sliding at any particular moment) and i don't think it's ever died.

A mention! I've been waiting for this moment all my life.

temporal mending also doesn't work on an ageless heart

Don't waste the chance that you've been given.

you've switched modes on us but if you continue to faithfully pursue that you'll only see your problems multiply.

It's a heal over time, so if he's aggroed an entire group it might not be enough up front to keep him upright til the other ticks. Sorry there's no comfort in the truth.

All this time I was thinking Babs wasn't in there before and was just a poor substitute for States. And I was blaming incarnate stuff for squishies not dying left and right. Now I'm a sad. Yes, please, old LRSF in ouro, i'd run it every time. STF I don't care as much since the actual TF isn't affected. And while we're at it can we make Ms. Liberty not targetable? She's somehow always my closest target no matter where I stand and I have to manually target or rotate to the person I want next.

I've been +5ing all generic IOs, pvps and purples on every build. Because why not. It's the only thing i have to spend my thousands of merits on since I buy all my IOs with cash.

I left it out of my elec/shield build when i switched to stalker from scrapper. Don't miss it in the least. I always found it to be really terrible but took it anyway because it's an AOE. Much happier without it.

I just think it's nice that we're only worried about influence sinks to deal with piles of money from AH or farming addictions instead of the usual hyper inflation reasons for them in game economies.

generally #1 is less advisable since your losses from #2 will almost always be less than the 2-3 million a catalyst will sell for.

i generally do 2915 - the level 49 comic con meteor. I head into the middle, avoiding releasing the "helper" who actually is more of a griefer for afk'ing, pull lore pets, click hybrid and tab out (auto-burn, of course). Generally if i come back in 10-15 the map is either clear or has one mob left trying to walk through the rocks somewhere, occasionally there'll be two. So it only works well as afk for doing other things while you're around to restart. Great for house chores or playing other games or watching something but not a start and forget like you're wanting. I've tried various versions of the cave map but i find that many of the mobs don't get around to you or get behind you when you move up. As far as something you could leave going all day, doubt there are any options, as AE was specifically set up on live to avoid that sort of thing.

because the empy drops from leveling are huge for tier 4'ing everything, so snagging exp where it doesn't add too much time is a plus to me. i'm still only killing the mobs i have to so it only adds 3 or 4 minutes. but basically it's just what i've settled in on as my particular sweet spot. ymmv

i've taken to running the first and third mish on 0/1/no and the second and final on 4/8/with. good mix of speed and xp and you avoid having to chase on the tsoo boss spawn. with difficulty macros it's a quick switch too.

if you're only doing fire farms then go for fire defense (winter IOs and aegis are big sources). if you softcap that and have a reasonable amount of hp/regen you can afk farm 4/8/bosses no problem. you still want to go high recharge though since burn on auto will be your biggest damage dealer. should be builds out the wazoo if you look around a bit.

Resize your window. Maximized or just dragged out to a letterbox look will make it better. You still may not like the new look (I've not decided yet) but it'll work.

They're super streaky, they've always been super streaky. Seem to be WAI to me. If you feel you need more it's pretty trivial to make an afk farmer these days and just reset their map when needed in between missions on a character you're actually playing, or between shows or chores or work or whatever. And since purples aren't bound to the normal recipe drop rules even an SO'd toon could afk farm them.

are you perhaps running a level 49 farm? exemped you won't get enhancements.

You probably got them on either side of the reset time.

If mez is your only issue the defensive amplifier temp power gives 4 points protection to everything including the rare confuse and terrify. Most NPCs usually don't have the ability or sense to stack. If you're high enough for PJ you're looking at a million and a half or thereabouts for an hour but should be well worth it to carry you through the arc. Side effects include +5 defense all and +7.5 resist all.

Do you have them set to AV? I've soloed them on 3 blasters but I leave them on EB and 0/1 for speed sake just because i don't particularly care for the arcs. Can always plow to the bosses so you get help from the various NPCs if you're having trouble. But as to the cheaper temp pets - shivans are easy enough to grab in 5-10 minutes and can be refilled as often as you need.

Iirc on live, purples had a flat drop rate of 1/5000 independent of enemy class. I've not seen if that was changed for HC.
