I find it highly unlikely the devs are going to make them into actual pets, which is why my suggestions tend toward improving them as bombs.

The choice isn’t between full crit and partial with heal. The choice is between partial with heal and partial with nothing.

In fact we were told a while ago that the macro was a dev tool players were never supposed to have. And this gripe about what they "could have focused on" is ridiculous. Look at ALL THE OTHER NEW STUFF in this issue. It's not like the Base Macro is the major feature of the issue.

On a lvl 20 Dark Armor/Titan Weapons Tanker I did not notice any unusual behavior while running the Cloak of Shadows or whatever it's called. But that could be because the taunt aura in that case does actual damage... so this could conceivably be a problem unique to Brute EA, I think it's the only Armor set that gets a Non-Damage Taunt Aura AND comes with it's own Stealth power...

On the /EA Brute the difference between running with Energy Cloak on or off is night and day. With no Energy Cloak mobs stick to me as expected. With Energy Cloak on they run as soon as my first few attacks have landed. On a tanker (lvl 30 Rad/EM) without any Stealth power I am not noticing any unusual behavior. On the same tanker running Stealth (Concealment pool) and Invisibility (Concealment) I also did not notice anything odd. Next I will try a tanker with an in-set stealth power, Dark Armor perhaps.

No, this is definitely not at the cap, it happened after I heavily reduced their numbers. They are behaving the way I would expect on a scrapper, when they are heavily damaged and unable to hit me. I will test on a tanker next.

I don't play Brutes that often, so someone with more experience should check this. I'm seeing enemies in a +4/x8 lvl 50 Radio mission running away (Sometimes). Now on this toon I don't have Taunt and I haven't Slotted any Taunt enhancements anywhere, but I do have Entropic Aura running. Is this to be expected?

Have you gone on test and seen what the other travel options are doing now? I barely notice the difference because of how frequently the other options are now available.

Exited the precinct and was still below floor level, with camera locked in first person...very strange. Tried to exit to login and the client had some serious problems reloading and reconnecting.

Here's a weird one. Tried to enter the PI police precinct to talk to Detective Selnum and I spawned in slightly below floor level:

Crushing Uppercut costs endurance and has more than twice the recharge of ET.

"Eden" text still does not show up when mousing over the city map. Also, now that the TUNNEL's are all connected, perhaps we don't need Two in zones like Night Ward, for example.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I have a concern that alterations to how Stealth and Taunt auras work may have gone slightly awry in at least one case. I'm testing on a level 40 Energy/Energy Brute and I am finding it is completely impossible to herd grays. Obviously not game breaking, but I'm just not sure it's working like it's supposed to.

At high levels all tanks have access to enough Regeneration buffs from sets, IOs, Incarnate powers, etc, they should have no problem keeping their health up.

You have to wind up to get the giant damage AS. Seems unlikely they’ll give you fast ET with no wind up.

Ya, maybe I wasn’t clear. The tohit debuff stayed.

Just discovered what looks like an effects display bug. I'm doing Save Matthew Habashy and Atlas from Arachnos! and sometimes the "stars in their eyes" effect from Flash Arrow will disappear (though the Tohit Down part remains). Might be unique to Arachnos base maps...

On another subject, on my Corruptor the info window for Entangling Arrow contains an error: You entangle a targeted foe causing their reflexes to become slowed and sluggish. This groudns them and causes them to have decreased movement speed and damage resistance. Weaker foes will also be immobilized. Recharge: Fast

I'm not suggesting it be changed back, I'm just saying, I think that's why it feels weird.

I think the problem is in the visually reinforced cognitive dissonance. You can SEE the field, but stepping into it does nothing. If it was, as before, a click buff, it would make more sense that it can't effect the caster.

Because the starting Gold zones are not a whole world, yes. I agree it would be cool if the game was set up to allow people to stay Gold side but it’s just not.

lol ok by “Praetorian” you meant someone who Never left Praetoria. You’re supposed to leave at 20. I thought you were saying characters who Started Gold side couldn’t do Number Six’s arc, which would be ridiculous.

What?! Why??

If possible make it a Click Self buff that spawns a new Seeker every 30 seconds for the duration.

I dunno, PB Build Up got changed into a longer lasting form that is also permaable, you can switch form in Light Form, and it really didn't cost me much inf to get where she is now. I feel like in terms of self buffs giving form synergy PBs are rather comparable to WSs. It's the pet that makes the real difference. ymmv I switch forms a LOT, so I don't feel restricted by the forms not progressing. They're just more tools in my kit.
