Ridiculous exaggeration. You’re the one being toxically positive about this nonsense article complaining about a patch that’s STILL IN DEVELOPMENT. If they’re allowed to criticize the game in their article, then we’re allowed to criticize the article.

Criticizing is one thing, talking shit is another. The article and the comments are primarily the latter.

No taunt auras for Scrappers. Not anymore.

The power works fine with SOs, slotted for accuracy and damage. With HOs and/or IOs it becomes exceptionally strong.

You’re describing Moment of Glory.

I agree. I don't understand why the set has BOTH a Lethal penalty AND a hole to Toxic. Take the lesson that was just learned on Electric and Regen, no more giant holes. A little hole is ok, it doesn't have to be tons of toxic res, just a bit.

It already has it, in Psychokinetic Barrier.

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!
