Mr. Vee

I've always only had a claw/fire for farming (never cared for spines). My old build was also for other content and not optimized for fire farms at all. The only time I timed it on rainbow and tried to actually go fast i did 4:27, but I don't particularly care, just wanted to know if it was competitive since it felt fast to me. I've recently made a dedicated farm build but I've not timed it. It can afk 4/8/bosses on 325, my preferred, or rainbow and its hp barely ever moves. None of my friends have needed a pl since I made it but it strikes me as about the same speed as my other build, just softcapped to fire so much tougher. It's always just afk'ing now and collecting inf which i pretty much give away as fast as I make it. Only thing I'd change if I felt like a respec would be flipping the slotting in dark oblit and soul tentacles - i don't even need the latter and the frozen blast immob proc griefs my using dark oblit to pull more mobs in.

That did the trick, thanks. Never would have occurred to me to re-validate right after a patch but I must've had some hiccup in the patching. Now to see about converting my bug thread to a hilarious screenshot thread 😄

Some bugs so far (the first i mentioned in its own thread) -Portable workbench spawning as a KoA pet - doesn't work for crafting. -Burn patch showing up as caltrops; /fa has gone back to original gfx on my guy apart from the caltrops. I did have him on minimal fx or dark, don't remember. A person who cares about costumes would probably be able to expound on this one. -some base items have been replaced by gremlins - basic reclamator, pillar of ice and fire, auto-doc, teleport beacons. Someone with an elaborate base could probably say more. The items still work so these are pretty ineffectual gremlins by gremlin standards.

Stalker melts minions/lieuts just as fast as scrap with build up and the telenukes. You're then left with the bosses to either whittle with the scrap or mow down with the stalker. WIth the brute the aoes kind of work against you as you need those minions/lieuts to buff both fury and against all odds to even whittle at the bosses. Telenukes need to be used in a mob you've already gathered on the brute and as 333.... pointed out fury doesn't work well on pseudopets.

I'll lean toward D. The proc doesn't last long enough to allow you to get off the proccing attack twice plus a third attack, even if it did stack. Also in no way tested 😄

If it's not already too late i'd encourage you to roll it as a stalker instead. I've done the combo on all 4 and stalker is far and away the best.

that's no longer required for the accolade - just have to kill 100 now.

Just imagine how much you'll like it after the upcoming bug fix, considering ill is completely borked right now.

There are quite a few that *can* be soloed and have been, but just probably aren't recommended. I was bored last night and decided to try soloing sutter on my 39 tw/bio, knowing full well I can't stand sutter. I pulled it off but it took forever and was just a miserable experience. I'd imagine lady grey would be a slog even if you had the holds for hami.

I think you're thinking of Dr. Q - Faathim not only has an AV but he's a storm summoner. That said it's the only half fun shard tf.

You were wasting an awful lot of slots for very low returns in the first one. Second is much better. Switch the 6 titanium in proton to 4 reactive armor. I'd invest one of those extra slots in the panacea proc. Also I believe I've read, though I don't remember where, that someone did the math and the performance shifter proc is better than one slotted end mod in stamina. Not sure if that's still the case with a +5. Really you should be all set on recharge - you're already perma-hasten with only the base recharge from beta decay. So stick with agility core rather than spiritual, you need the defense and recovery anyway. Consider ageless radial for the bit of debuff resistance it gives.

Everything as it is/is planned. I want the licensing to have no bearing on the HC crew's way of doing things as they've been doing a great job so far.

35. after 32 it no longer alternates slots/powers and you get 3 slots instead of 2. new powers are at 35, 38, 41, 44, 47, 49.

Just to be clear...because of a ~100k price jump in rare salvage peeps are now advocating for a huge price increase in packs to increase influence sinks and thereby help stave off a hyperinflation that hasn't shown any other signs of coming and is specifically guarded against by multiple quasi-hard-caps, including the price of those very packs? God I love forums.

Wow, so that's way bigger than I thought. I should just quit using mine for a while. Had just not been using phantasm cuz of the kb but I've been on teams with it mostly so hadn't noticed the damage etc.

Odd bug, not sure if it's particular to this instance or more widespread - Impervious skin unique in my bio scrap's evolving armor was granting the status resistance bonus but not the regen bonus. took it out and put it in hardened carapace and it works as intended. Evidently evolving armor has a hidden 'revert to pre-i24 version' effect 😄

Knew it wouldn't last. 26:15 Numina

and here i was blaming your phone 😛

iirc correctly they capped them at 25k/100k/1 million though they rarely sell for those amounts unless someone's either fiddling around with them or someone's just trying to dump influence on lowbies by overbidding. Just put up a normal bid and wait, should fill within the minute. We can all use that time to consider whether we're really up for the responsibilities that come with owning savages, and whether their savagery is justification for their being bought and sold so indiscriminately.

Numina - 31:50. This was a pug run so I know y'all can get out there and beat it while it's the weekly.

Do we know if the PTBs are on this one? They posted in the stacked hold bug thread.

Potato potahtah

If you do a lot of TFs leveling then yes, Fake Nems will be your only gap. But soloers or radio mish types it'll be a grind. And I usually have the villain equivalent by 31 if soloing - when I hit 30 i run to st. martial for papers to get hard luck as a contact. If I've been tf'ing the toon I'll jump over to grab his ouro at 35.

It was different at one time (there's a reason Brigg made the 49 ones after all). Not sure if that means they upped the level 50 exp or made exemped to 49 not fully double or if it's a bug or wai or when it changed. But yeah they seem to be the same now so back to the afk cave i go.
