I know its not supposed to work that way. But sooo many times it does. Might be which boss though. I'm sure some have better recovery than others. But I do watch their End and I've seen them do Alpha strikes even at very low end. I'm just guessing that it costs them less End to do those bigger attacks. This is why in all honesty I don't rely on Sapping the bad guys. I think it doesn't work on them as well las it does on us. For me its Debuff (-Def and -Res) then Damage Damage Damage Die
Yes, them having attacks that AREN'T high cost, even though they are for us is totally possible.

I totally agree with Snarky on this. Things that don't get mentioned. When YOU get drained by a Sapper or Ring Mistress, etc. Your shields drop, and you cant use your heavy damage / powers at all. Time and time again I've seen Bosses and Elite Bosses drained to Zero (0), and they still manage to get off some heavy damage shots. Do THEIR Shields Drop? Perhaps, but nowhere near as much as ours do. And, their shields come back up instantly if they do drop. The Game Cheats.
That's not how it works. They cannot use high endurance cost abilities if they have no end. Often their toggles do drop and don't come back instantly.
I suspect what's happening is you aren't looking closely enough at their endurance when things like this happen, you think they're still at zero, but they're not.

Did the CoT or any of your teammates have +To Hit?
That can rip through SR's defence and ignores defence debuff resistance.Many of the fire Demons have Invincibility, for example. Some of the mages cast Fortitude on their allies.
-
The obvious ones are Quicksand and Earthquake, but there are others as well.

Fast Healing
- now grant 25% fixed regen resistance at all levels, for all ATs
Not working properly for Brute, Scrapper, or Sentinel. Still showing the old AT modded and level scaling numbers on those ATs.

I know that Sonic Attack is a Blast set but giving Deep Sleep to Siren Song from Sonic Attack would be a welcome change would possibly make the set a little bit more desirable than it is currently.
Not gonna happen. Control sets and Epic sets only. That power is already really, really good, and the set has an AoE Stun in its nuke.

okay, fair enough. i do not sap, so i am just repeating what i learned on the forums.
can we get a sapper in here?
They will be able to fire off cheap powers, but not costly ones. That's why end drain is useful even without -Recovery.

one thing i did not see mentioned. NPCs CHEAT with end. Say they have an attack that costs 20 end. They can fire it on 1 end. (you try that!) It makes the recovery suppression huge, because you have to squish it to zero and keep it there for it to be useful.
I've never seen what you're describing here. Exactly the opposite. If I can keep enemy endurance low they will not be able to use high cost abilities.

Damping Bubble is a big stretch, I agree with arcane there.
Well, I figured it would be nerfed in size, power, AND cooldown. But I'm open to different ideas. It probably needs to be a power that affects both self and ally, so no ally only Force Fields.

Energy Mastery for Sentinels:
t1 Repulsion Field (keep guys back, instead of an aoe immob or sleep)
t2 Bone Smasher
t3 Boost Range (probably not perma like the Manipulation version, but that's ok)
t4 Whirling Hands
t5 Damping Bubble (team debuff resistance)

Now an Energy Mastery EPIC for Sentinels, with a Force Field power of some kind, and Bone Smasher for a melee attack, sounds like a great idea! Let's do THAT!

Sentinels aren't buff/debuff. I think it would need some BIG downsides to justify giving Mez Protection to your teammates.
-
It is a toggle with a limited duration.
The toggle is autohit, but the immobs can miss, letting guys drop out of it sometimes.
If you use Levitate on the main target of the toggle, all affected foes will be tossed into the air and the toggle will shut off, regardless of remaining duration.

Living usage should now play the classic Dull Pain visual effect and sound
Living usage IS now playing the classic Dull Pain sound and visual.
However, dead usage is NOT playing the classic Revive sound and visual, so something is still wonky.EDIT: When CLICKED while dead it DOES play correctly. But if you get the automatic offer to get back up, from the Second Wind Temp Power granted when you click while alive, it does not correctly play sound and graphics.
Tested on a Tanker.-

I wish that instead of disallowing set bonuses/procs, they had just made escort NPCs ignore allied stealth. Two birds/one stone and all that, since often they lose track of you too easy even without it 😕
They didn't want to make that easier.

Propel has the excuse of wormholing in its projectiles? Where's your super strength guy pulling this stuff from?
That asked,I wish we could have it too.
I use my super strength to pull them from the Rulocool dimension.

Hurl, sure. Hurl Boulder though, nah. Besides the name, the concept of Stone Melee et. al is manipulating rock and earth and shaping it into weapons and such. Using it to chuck forklifts or sculptures doesn't really fit the concept.
Maybe for that set a slightly different set of options, but still options. Just like Spines has a variety of looks, so should this.
-
Leaving aside damage and dps...
I would really like to be able to customize the projectile. Let me choose between Rock, Tree, Forklift, Modern Art, and Random, or something like that.
That would really expand the usefulness of the power in fulfilling different character concepts.

I was citing the wiki page on Electrical Affinity:
And yes, 'Galavanic' is a typo on the wiki page.
Not sure where that info on the wiki came from, maybe an early beta version of the power? Definitely seems not to be the case. I believe Static increases the jumps from Circuit powers, and has some kind of buff for Defibrillate, but nothing for Galvanic.

Its duration increases with the number of stacks of Static the character has when they summon the Galvanic Sentinel.
Wow really? I had no idea.
EDIT: Trying to confirm that this is true, no luck yet.
EDIT 2: This appears NOT to be the case. Tested with and without charges of Static, 2 minute duration either way. If someone has seen different I'm curious to hear about it.

If I had to hazard a guess, looking at the sets in question (Hypersonic, Launch, and Thrust), I don't think the devs have any intention of giving every character free access to the bonuses in those sets. ESPECIALLY Hypersonic.

I don't really care HOW you do it. Make the power not work right there, or make it summon the vehicle a little ways away, or let the power work but the vehicle just doesn't appear, or whatever. Come up with some way to make it so you can't block the Oro exit with immobile summons.
-
Teammates are 100% EXPLICITLY your sidekick. It's actually CALLED Sidekicking, to have a teammate who is lower level than you.
There are Epic sets with pets in them, and there probably should be more, but I don't think there should be a pet in a standard Power Pool.
Customization options for ALL pets, Troller/Dominator, MM, Arachnos, Lore, and Epic, would be nice though.-

CoT defense debuffs?
in General Discussion

Yep, that makes sense. Powers like that, and Quicksand, are part of why SR gets decent Slow resists, so you can run out of a -Def field like that fairly easily.
