Do we have any idea what flavour of ToT'ing we'll get on HC? If it's the old style crazy fun everyone open as many doors as you can madhouse version sign me up. If it's the snooze fest that was door timers wake me up for baby new year.

claws is pretty much set for mitigation. my fire/invuln was retired well before avalanche and overwhelming force existed 😄

If you're doing a whole set, it can take forever.
I lol'd at this. I did 95 of them the other day. Key is to exit and reclick the power each time. You can eventually get into a decent rhythm but it's still super annoying.
/signed but really that whole interface needs a rework as i think has been suggested elsewhere.

A visit to echo galaxy city from a base portal works too. Grab your pupil plaque right near where you pop out then use the train to go to ouro for the explore badge there.

It was possible even prior to incarnates and new sets. It's easier now.

If the devs ban everyone who buys Inf for real money, who is going to buy my overpriced enhancements from the market with gobs of disposable inf?..
Me, and all the people i throw my gobs of disposable inf at. And I'm not even close to as wealthy as folks who actually enjoy the market or farming.

Any plans to add the p2w amplifier powers to the temp powers section? we top hat and monocle types who run those on every toon would love ya for it. ok we already love ya but still.
-
Neat trick, definitely situations I'll use that.
also re the macro - if you bind the command to the slot location of your RoA you get the targeted AoE without having to monitor the original's recharge elsewhere like you do with the macro. So mine, e.g. is /bind alt+3 powexec_location target rain of arrows

Using it as alpha with explosive arrow (with kb to kd IO) following it up will help that as the explosive arrow will actually hit first and knock them on their butts for the rain. I've also not noticed anyone running out when I use it from out of line of sight, but me not noticing doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

41s aren't that much more expensive and when you get into these in bulk any saved clicks are gold.
-
I've added a zero with converters and on a purple here and there but nothing like that in bulk before. Of course I've been using merits for boosters cuz even though i have the money i decided i should probably use merits for something since they're just sitting there piling up.

That's disappointing to hear. I really dislike the concept of the Fighting Pool's tough and weave as much as I disliked Stamina on live, it wasn't really a choice. Guess I'll continue to stick with non-melee classes as much as I like my tw/bio scrapper.
You can choose to do without it, you just won't be as tough as you would be otherwise. I really don't understand you character concept folks but what kind of sword fighter wouldn't also learn some hand to hand stuff on the side? or do cardio for that matter?

You could presumably cap melee fairly easily with a whack of defensive sweep. The problem is that unlike parry or divine avalanche or guarded spin, the devs for some reason known only to them decided to make defensive sweep melee/smashing instead of melee/lethal. Practically this means that all those ranged attacks that are lethal and debuff defense, i.e. tons of them, are hitting you full on and causing cascading defense failure. With basically no source of defense debuff resistance outside of ageless radial if you took it and your teammates, that can get bad fast. Now of course /bio has layered defenses so you're probably still going to cakewalk council no matter how many minions are pinging you from ranged with their rifles. But a couple of crabs at ranged adding to the bowl of pain arachnos already is can ruin your day.
As far as fighting pool, i wouldn't skip it, especially if you're planning on keeping offensive adaptation running.
-
I'd post mine but the last mids update decided to change a slotted electrified net arrow into an unremovable raptor pack so I'd have to completely recopy it from the in-game version for it to be accurate 😄

I'm a few seconds off on paper but actually perma-hasten with my offensive amplifier and the likelihood of the force feedback proccing a time or two over the duration of hasten. Really though I don't know that I couldn't get by without hasten altogether. At +3/8/bosses (I'm not level boosted yet) anything short of an EB is dead before I ever even get to use follow through, and that was true leveling when I didn't even have hasten.

"If you apply a Boost to an Attuned enhancement"
once you reach 50, there is no longer a need for attuned enhancements, they will examplar normally, so that's the time to boost them.
Just because they exemplar normally doesn't mean you necessarily want to dump your attuned. Exemplaring normally means you lose your set bonuses below level 47 on a 50 or 50+5 set that isn't pvp or purple. My general approach is to use all attuned of normal sets, and then boost generic IOs, pvps and purples. But then I exemplar a lot and keeping my set bonuses to 3 levels below the bottom level of the set is more valuable to me than the % gains from boosting them at 50, especially with the boost you already get at 50 from incarnate stuff. If you're only playing the alt at 50 or only rarely exemp for weekly tfs or something then by all means, boost away.

Namely that bar the usual stable big earners (LotG etc.) that big earners don't stay big earners for long.
But they often come back soon after. Unbreakable Guard is a good example - when the price goes down you can just convert them to the more stable aegis. When it's up they're worth good money on their own. Sometimes it's just a piece or two that gets too much or too little supply. People jump on and off these niches quickly so it pays to check things you know earned well in the past now and again.

Here's the one i just made. Mine's 47 so haven't tried it yet. Also note that it'll be keeping the amplifiers on so that's why defenses can stop at 40.

3 seconds on bonfire is glacial, unless you're behind a wall and haven't aggroed the mob yet, in which case it's leisurely 😄

Just went and checked. Certainly not happening anymore on my defender - checked on grey, white and red conning enemies.

This was supposed to have been patched in this week's bug fix patch. I didn't notice it on my beam today but I went back to opening with disintegrate as soon as the fix was announced before I got too attached. Have you seen it still happening since Tuesday?
-
Yes please. Did 75 boosters yesterday and even with the exit/reclick trick it's annoying. For someone who watches tv shows somewhere between 2x and 3x speed it's excruciating.

The swords in Apex have Parry. If you can't hit them, get out of melee range for ten seconds until the Parry defense buff falls off, then lead with a knock or mez when you come back in.
Off topic but i didn't mean i can't hit them, i meant i can't catch the buggers. Also gonna have to tap out of this thread cuz went tldr super quick 😄

Idk, it's strong but it has definite weaknesses. Most of the newer sets are really strong, and many of them don't have as glaring a weakness as TW. And its weaknesses aren't the kind that will show up well when you're fighting a stationary pylon. I've mentioned before how it is on good teams but even solo against moving enemies there are problems. E.g, most of us over the years have gotten quite good at lining up our cones for max targets even when we're saturated with enemies. But those techniques kind of depend on us then using the cone before the enemies move back around behind us. Now try doing that with TW - you might hit fewer enemies than if you'd just used the cones in the pile because they all had time to move behind you while you were animating. Now sure you can herd yourself into a corner to max cones but that's not always possible. Another thing - probably confirmation bias but it seems to me that if i'm going to miss with the set, 9 times out of 10 it will be on my first attack so that I have to have two slow animations before I hit anything.
So yeah, it's a great set, maybe even insanely great with bio or fire, but if it gets a nerf because of its pylon numbers or because a few people are savants and can solo apex on it when i can barely manage to hit those stupid swords with any melee toon, it's likely to become just crappy enough that the greater number of folks abandon it as has happened with nerfs in the past.

FIgured out the deal with the 49 vs 50 inf - to maximize your 49 inf you need to have patrol exp. But worry not about having to buy tons of packs for experienced boosts - with the correct settings (earn exp and no exemp exp 2x inf) you won't burn through it on the 49 map.
