That’s the current normal practice on Live, but in page 2 it won’t be so necessary.

When you try it again in the new build, consider using Roots, which does better damage than most other aoe immobs.

do you mind saying which powers in Plant and Marine you were using? Or if it’s easier, which did you not have yet or were not using?

I think “plant feels sluggish prior to the last couple powers” is valuable feedback.

Not totally sure, but I think the ingame numbers are the slow version? Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Unfortunately being a patch would not be very thematic… Glittering Column and Incendiary Aura seem to fill the spots where a patch would go…

Sure, but there’s a big range potentially between “not entirely insignificant” and “slog”. I certainly haven’t noticed any slog in my testing, using SOs and a few specials.

It applies to a lead off attack from stealth.

Has anyone playing on test ACTUALLY found it to be a slog? Or is that simply an assumption based on the patch notes?

I asked about this and the answer was “not in this page” I took that to mean “yes, but not yet” the why was “they are constructed differently and will need different adjustments”

Sentinel has the same issue.

This doesn’t sound right. To my understanding, AoEs check unlimited enemies in their area until they hit their target caps.

In which case you have teammates. A tank doesn’t tank a whole spawn using only one power. Why should a dominator or controller?

It doesn’t use endurance. It uses your HP.

The game is not, has never been, and should not be balanced around soloing team content.

It's set to Performance. 😕 EDIT: AFAIK there aren't other effects I've missed out on set to Performance, but perhaps there are.

Why in the world WOULDN’T you try to maximize damage, recharge, etc? THAT’S the game! This was always true! Kinetics was always great, destroying things fast was always the best safety (also true in most other games). It’s an accurate description, to say that people try to maximize enemies defeated per minute, but to position that description as a problem makes zero sense…because that’s the game!

Here's what I see:

I'll go look again.

It's not. Just Melee and Ranged.

I see the option in the character creator, but the graphics don't appear to be any different from the standard look.

I think you can probably remove the strikethru writing.

Huge! I wonder if there's a keybind command for that?

um please don't forget to also lower the recharge on Earth Control and Darkness Controls AoE Hold patches.

I totally get that, and sometimes feel that way, although it’s not generally a problem for me because I mostly solo and team with RL friends. I do think the fact that a lot of us are getting old, have jobs and families and such, so we don’t have a lot of extra time, is of relevance.
