Just for kicks I decided to see how well I could protect myself from -Fly.
I have Hover, Evasive Maneuvers, and the Hypersonic: -Fly Res special, and I am STILL getting -Fly'd by ONE Arachnos Lieutenant's Web Grenade.
WTF??
These numbers need to be rebalanced so there's a POINT to these powers. Alternatively, just remove -Fly Resistance from the game, since it clearly doesn't work.
Part of the problem is that there’s really no argument to be made that scrappers in general are all missing something, either offenses or defensive. It’s one of the best balanced ATs in the game. If you want a scrapper with a teleport power, they exist. If you want a scrapper with a ranged damage attack, they exist. And if you want a scrapper with a little bit of tanking ability, they exist as well.
Honestly, I’m not certain that I prefer the design where the ATOs are something so important that they vastly improve the character and add functionality that you just couldn’t have before. That creates too much have and have not; I don’t mean among players, I mean for yourself as you’re leveling up. If there’s something missing from an archetype I’d rather have it just added to the archetype as opposed to being something you have to buy.
Comparing Sentinel AoE to Blaster AoE is silly. Blasters are an outlier AT as far as damage goes because it's basically all they get.
Comparing Sentinel AoE to SCRAPPER AoE, correctly shows that Sentinels do somewhat better AoE than the average Scrapper. Clearly not as much single target damage in MOST cases. That's where Vulnerability comes in.
Comparing Sentinel damage to Scrapper Electric Melee should show how the ATs are relative to one another.
I know but it’s a pain in the ass to constantly watch that, especially since the buffs are constantly moving around, and sometimes even disappear. The rings are more consistent and easier to keep your eye on.
I'd like to see a little change to the way the indicator rings around the icons in my power tray work for Savage Melee.
Basically, I'd like a Green ring to appear when I have FOUR stacks of Blood Frenzy, in addition to the current Red ring at five stacks.
This would let me know when to use my finishers in order to avoid getting Exhausted.
There's nothing "hypocritical" about it. What a bizarre misuse of the word.
Energy Aura's Taunt aura is Entropic Aura, which increases your recharge PER ENEMY IN RANGE.
ALL Scrappers with auras that boost per enemy in range also have Taunt. Those without don't. That is the rule, and they should stick to that rule. If you want a Scrapper with a Taunt aura there are options to do so. If you want a Scrapper WITHOUT a Taunt aura there are also options to do so and SR is one of those.
You are misusing THAT term too. You are not being trolled, which is to try to get a rise out of someone for no other reason.
I GENUINELY want windows added to bases. I don't CARE which zones get represented, as long as there are at least a few options, like 3 or 4 to start.
YOU are trolling US by putting up a poll for base options that doesn't include a write in! MY wants for the game are just as valid as yours!
It's like saying that it's "unfair" that no Whips set exists. My character concept is a Whip user, and isn't represented by what you can do with Demon MMs, so it's unfair to me.
That's not how fairness works.
Why on earth would such a thing matter? Put it on whichever wall you like!
All players would have the same access. Your assertion that it would be "unfair" to those players who didn't get "their" zones represented is just that, an assertion. I disagree with that assertion. It might be a bummer, but it would not be "unfair". You are misusing the term.
