*Transfusion, your -regen debuff has an interesting secondary effect of a large aoe heal. fixt ;)

It was possible, though very difficult, before the intro of incarnate stuff and ATOs and new sets. I'd imagine it's still difficult but slightly less so. And it's well worth it.

It was just in build chatter on discord so several grains of salt are probably in order.

Depends on the tf. Respec had normal four spawns, I've done mantis and synapse and they scaled down. Not sure if it's a trial vs tf thing or not. AVs still spawn though so bring an envenomed dagger if you don't have a regen debuff from something.

Reminding me of fun with traps - phase shifting and dropping several mines in the middle of a mob then unphasing. Slow but never stopped being funny to me.

Claws is just great. Only downside is it's all lethal damage. Savage looks amazing but I can't speak to the performance. there was some discussion a few days ago on discord about the plus damage in its gimmick possibly not working correctly.

Confirmed the simultaneous glowies are gone. Two friends duoed it a couple days ago.

Think the consensus is it's not a good combo for brute since the slows and knockdown work against fury. Haven't tried it myself though.

Yes, though sprint is the preferred place since CJ can take lotg and the actual travel powers can take botz.

This is just not true. No minimum to start. I soloed the freakspec last night and have been doing tfs so or duo almost daily. You can even solo Dr. Q if you're a masochist. Bonus tip. - since you can start TFS and trials so you can also use the LFG queue as a free teleporter.

What Cmarnold said. Plus be careful to note that the stealth ios don't provide full stealth on their own and you can't slot two. So superspeed + unbounded or celerity in sprint is the classic combo. If you prefer fly, SJ, tp or sorcery then pool stealth works.

you don't need all of the first three single targets. lose which ever is your least favorite. i didn't really look in depth at the build, though. i'm too busy playing to even make my own builds these days :D

I suppose the OP is happy now since the new policy is essentially 'you can only do it on reunion or at weird times'.

IIRC there was some early squawking when they did it from people who thought it was going to nerf them but that quieted down quickly cuz they were improved quite a bit.

it's 100 merits but yeah i think you have to be 50 for them to show up. And no you can't convert to them except from other purples. That was a bug on the live servers that only worked with confuse and was pretty quickly patched. I only had time to get about 15 :D

You're in luck

If you keep playing that trio long I doubt the heals will get much use.

I'm no stalker pro but I quit taking placate and now use a big hitter out of hide for the crit rather than assassin's. Reason being the faster animated version of assassin's still hits hard and with the chance to hide proc in it often sets you up for yet another big hit. Placate has its uses but unless it's the AOE one you take a chance on it being broken by another enemy before you can hit your target. It just feels like a skippable to me now given the much more scrappery faster style you can play stalker with now. For me it's no comparison, stalkers are way more fun than they used to be.

I remembered, it's sudden acceleration. But a six slotted overwhelming force will get you an extra 4 KB protection which is nice for dark.

Unless they've changed to let them drop at lower levels. Iirc they could drop from enemies starting at 47 but y'know, 7 years away.

Overwhelming force has one, it's the universal damage set that's a reward from summer blockbuster. I forget the name of the KB set that has the other. I'm on mobile so can't really check and it's not in pine's either.

Just put a knockback to knockdown io in shockwave rather than removing it.

I got a catalyst drop on a moonfire last night, and incarnate shards/threads. So I'd imagine purples would be the only thing that wouldn't drop exemped.

Once you pick up the aura it becomes much better, even after they fixed the hilarious bug that was giving the highest recharge bonus for every enemy in range.

I kinda assumed they were copying all the announcements here since they've had brief ones there with links to longer versions here. But I guess that's not the case. Probably going with discord for the pings.
