I also just wanted to make it clear, I have actually not played any Hard Mode content yet. I want this IO for fun reasons on various characters, it has nothing to do with being super powered for the endgame. I had the idea when I recently got to 50 on a new Sentinel and wasn't really sure what to do with my last slot. A +Range unique would have been perfect.

No.

Yea, 25 seems like too much to me. but the set could also include a range bonus as well…maybe 7.5 on the unique and a 7.5 3-pc bonus for a total of 15 if you slot the whole set?

I would love to see a set with a Unique IO that gives a global +Range bonus. Nothing extreme, maybe around 5%? Hey, if it could be even better that would be cool, but I'm erring on the side of caution. Maybe it could be in a Universal Travel set? Tactical Foresight: "You know where to be, and when to be there."

Seems to have been down for some time... Where'd it go?!? 😢

I just got Mission Failed on the mission "Defeat Archon Archon Leery and his guards" from Lorenzo DiCosta. Yes, the boss's name is incorrect, but that's not what I'm posting about. This is a mission where you have to stop the boss from escaping, thing is he started running BEFORE I ever saw him! The mission failed without me so much as laying eyes on the boss. In fact he started running before I had even OPENED THE DOOR to his room! HE opened the door himself and ran away!

If it happens when you level it’s not such a big deal. You’re now all buffed up and you should resummon anyway to get more powerful pets. Still annoying though.

There is no way to fix it on the user end. I agree it's bad.

Not super likely to be the issue for you, but I've noticed I sometimes hold both mouse buttons for no reason without thinking about it and suddenly find myself running forward when I didn't mean to.

Arachnos can also stabby stab and pew pew.

I have experienced this many times but I have been completely unable to figure out what causes it.

No class is "needed" nor is any class pointless. That's how this game has always been. You can bring almost any combination of characters to anything.

Honestly, proc changes can't come soon enough. Lowered recharge and raised damage should NEVER be seen as a nerf.

I think people wanted more single target damage at lower levels, which this change does. In the long run I think the way procs work will probably get changed so I wouldn't worry about that aspect.

Actually I would accept disappearing shields as a close second. Right now I’m ALWAYS holding it as long as my toggles were on. If it only appeared during combat, like weapons, I would be happier. But sheathing on your back would be the best.

Ideally someday even those restrictions could be resolved. There's certainly no balance reason that I'm aware of for them.

I for one want Holstered Shields more than I want Shield Sentinels.

I like the idea, but it seems like it belongs in a Sentinel Primary not a secondary. I don’t think we’re ever going to get a Shield attack set.

Doesn’t have to be.

I liked the idea of “Shield Bash”, a single target, or maybe slight splash zone, Teleport attack. Shield Charge but small.

I'm pretty sure the real reason is they are not going to make a Sentinel secondary that gets another nuke. So IF they gave Shields to Sentinels you would most likely LOSE SHIELD CHARGE. Do you still want it?

Interestingly, Fire Blast DID get buffed...Regen still hasn't though...

This is the problem here and it's not a design problem. It should not take you that long to adjust.

This a thousand times.

They also changed Piercing Rounds so you don't need to use Standard Ammo to achieve its debuff. It seems clear to me the intention in page 6 is to make it so there is NEVER a reason to NOT use special ammo.
