We have peaked. There is Werner, then there is the rest of us. That's fine though, he's a worthy leader.

3 hours ago, Werner said:It was tougher and slower without amplifiers, but not too much worse than it was with them. Still did it on the first try. The large group of minotaurs and cyclopes knocked me into the red a couple times before I accepted that I had to run and pull. I got lucky with the final AVs, and only had to fight them one at a time by capping aggro with minions and lieutenants. Rommy got one good shot in, about 2/3 of my hit points. I should have run, but I kept fighting.

I would love a lot more minimal FX options as well.

Please all gather here my friends with good taste !
Together we can change things !
(maybe)

So this max diff ITF soloing business... that's something only a few people are doing? Or are you guys all stomping through it with your empath/psi defenders while no one is looking...
Are you suggesting there is a huge discrepancy between ATs? Anyone with something other than tanker, scrapper, brute... want to post ITF max setting speed run times?
I guess I'm just saying it doesn't seem all that surprising that the obviously stronger ATs still far outperform the obviously weaker ones. So what are we figuring out here? Defenders and the like need to be nerfed along with tankers to find game balance? I wonder what kind of insane buffs would be needed before the new FoTY was a "support" character. 'Spine/Fire brute? Hah! You should see this arch/TA tear through the mobs!' I know, it seems completely ridiculous...

We've had requests to run one there. So, we're going to try. But, if no one is there, I guess it's a moot point...
Sorry for you and i really hope you can make something in the European Ghetto.
Dont get me wrong, i m just sad about the Reunion situation 😕
That was nice during the massive Lockdown, we even farmed almost 5 bases full of IO and ATO to help the French Community to have fun in game in those hard time IRL.
Believe me or not, i m one the last french old timer from NC soft servers to leave.
I really hope i m wrong and/or it affects only the froggies...

I'm finding that after I completed a @Werner rules ITF, my desire to argue about game balance has gone out the window. I don't think anyone should be able to solo a max diff ITF with enemies buffed, insps and temps disabled, with zero faceplants.
But what I think doesn't matter. And I'm ok with that as long as I'm able to log into this game and slice apart enemies with my claws/sr scrapper. Getting 3 vet lvls per hour and raking in a TON of inf. 🙂

So I know in general it's not really worth it to take pools like Medicine, etc, as compared to just taking a support AT, but if you want to do one for theme/concept's sake, which one is LEAST BAD, if you want to take those? Was hoping to do something with Sword and Regen........
Shield Defence / Broad Sword Tanker :
The PalaTanker - Archangel Build !
A Paladin / Archangel is not a Babysitter, healing is not in theme imo 🙂
The Rebirth incarnate will be perfect for a lay on hands power.
Leadership Maneuver + Grant cover will give you the ability to provide 20% def all to your team around you.
Tactics and assaut will give them strenght and guide them in the darkness !
You will be protected by having them near you with Phalanx Fighting !
You will be able to summon angels with the Kov Lore incarnate !
You will be able to cast lightnings upon your foes with mu lightning and Ion jugement incarnate !

On 11/4/2020 at 12:45 AM, Tore said:This is upsetting and just overall I guess fits the theme of 2020. I'm disheartened and just sad this is the direction Homecoming seems to be taking.
4 hours ago, Tore said:Literally when the server was being put together by the homecoming team. If you were around then you would have heard that being talked about alot since several other servers wanted to implement all kinds of new ideas and the homecoming team made a conscious decision to make this a vanilla ish server.

Can you please post your build? SD/EM is exactly what I am looking forward to playin on live. I am surprised to hear you survived the AV's solo with +4/+8. I'm not able to do that on a shield tank even with an attack set with a healing mechanic. I'm not challenging your statement, just really surprised that you can do it while playing a set that damages you at the same time. I freely admit I am not a strong creator of builds, and would love to take a peek at yours to see where I can improve mine.
This was the build i used for the hours long slow ITF and EM aoe test :
Tanker - Shield Defense - Energy Melee V4.mxd
Just note :
- Stun as a place holder for Power crash
- The 5 ios on "Stun" are 5 armagedons (but dmg / recharge)
- The Solo run was long but note too that NOTHING was +5 on the build so, very very promising.
- This build is largely inspired by the monstrous SD / Martial Arts from @Werner our beloved bearded King 😄
- This was on Build 1

As-in "not enough Tanks there" or "Saturday isn't a good day", or "Coordinating through time zones is tough"?
Anyways, I know it's difficult with all the different zones involved, but we're Tanks, so let's make this happen.
I was thinking about starting it around 10:00 AM PT. That would give us (Times calculated off my Pacific-centricness):
Mountain -11:00 AM
Central -Noon
Eastern - 1:00 PM
England - 6:00 PM
Europe - 7:00 PM
And for the date let's look at November 21st.
Let me know what you think.
it's difficult cause Reunion is deserted.

When we toggle athletic run with ninja, a strange glitch happened : after the "crossfit", the toon seem to do some... squats.

Hi all,
This topic has come up a couple of times now and us getting over to Reunion is a bit difficult (time zones, limited number of Tuesdays... ), unless we 1) got on a 5th Tuesday (in which case we won't be there very frequently), or 2) run an event on Saturday. On live we did the to make it to the Euro servers on selected Saturdays, so there is a precedence for an "off day" TTT.
Anyone interested? Also, I think I saw at least one, or two other Tank enthusiasts asking about TTs on Reunion, if you're out there and can join the discussion we'd like your input. The next step would be to decide on which Saturday to hold the event.
Thoughts, comments, suggestions?
Good luck :x

Speak for yourself.
ET was strong before it crit at all, now it's very, VERY nice.
I disagree with Powerhouse on a lot of things, but I will say it here: He absolutely nailed energy melee's overhaul and should get praise for it.
100% same.

Do you really think they would leave the damage of TF-ET untouched if they allowed full crits?
No way 🙂

Exactly 🙂

Yeah, took a couple stabs at the regular-weight (no buff/de-buff settings) +4x8 ITF with the Kat/Rad as he stands, and it's just about too intense for my clumsy hands on this 15" laptop. 🤣
It's like the ad I clipped out of an mountain bike magazine years ago when I used to ride every weekend. "Maybe it's not your bike that needs the tune-up."
I'm still convinced that a Scrapper in the right hands could pull off the "heavyweight" challenge, just not so sure that those hands happen to be mine! 🤣
And yet, I'll probably give it several more goes with various Scraps as time goes by. Choose a side? Scrapper. That's my side. 😉
To paraphrase the great Bruce Campbell .. "Defense? Resistance? I'm the Guy with the DAMAGE!"
atm, we saw 2 scrappers finishing the werner itf.

I apologize for the delay in replying but I do not get to read the forums that much. Anyway, it appears my use of “double downer” had an implication I did not mean. It was meant only in relation to energy transfer. I really appreciate the changes made to the set. I enjoy testing it and agree with whoever stated the set performs better now than it did in its original incarnation. My reason for the request was to help with damage mitigation on tanks that do not have built in healing mechanics. It is my opinion that your response to play dark armor kind of proves my point. My suggestion would still have tanks taking damage from every other use of energy transfer because of the reduced recharge compared to the twenty second recharge of total focus.
I mean no disrespect, but I’m not sure how you intended the “ancestral” comment, but if it was about the damage from energy transfer being an original trait, then it is my opinion that wouldn’t be an appropriate response for two reasons. The first being that scrappers and stalkers have a chance to have energy transfer heal if the attack crits. I don’t see anyone championing for the heal chance to be removed because it is a signature of the original power. Second, I see anyone requesting for the older, ancestral recharge rate of twenty seconds. If I misunderstood your meaning, then I apologize.
I would like to ask, judging by your comment, if your interest in energy melee is for the stalker or scrapper archetype and not for the tank, correct? Regrettably, I do not have the availability to read through all the posts.
I playtested tons of interactions of EM on Shield / EM tanker in extreme conditions for more than 40 hours (i "found" animations glitches as the flying female with Total Focus and the flashing Combat jumping and tested interactions between all the epic / patrons powers with the Beta EM) :
Solo Imperious Task Force +4x8 no inspirations, no temporary powers, no Amplifiers and enemy buffed (+50% dmg / +50% accuracy) :
First mission in 12 minutes :
Solo Mo ITF with same ugly parameters (took ages because i choose to take only EM aoe powers to test them in intense gameplay) :
So yeah, ET loss of health can be tough for leveling builds, but in endgame +, it's no issues.
I choosed Shield defence cause it's a well known armor set without Endurance management powers and no self heal, for the very reason of ET nature and to check if the endurance drain was well balance.
I choosed Tanker cause if one class need to know if we can survive ET loss of health, it's this one and because tons of others good testers was already deep-testing the stalkers / scrappers.
And i must admit that as much i like EM stalkers, i was really not sold on EM scrappers and feeled them boring : now the crit balance of ET on scrapper solved this, we have the luck to have devs really patients and open to comments, constructive and polite.
Happy to read you have really tested EM 🙂 And if you still fear EM tankers are not good enough of left aside, i hope those screenshots witnessing dozen of hours of testings will give you faith !
