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.

That’s ALSO not unique to CoH. Game design has changed in 20 years.

This is true of every mmo. Not unique to CoH in the slightest.

Nah, they have no idea what they're talking about.

Glittering Column felt best to me when I slotted it for -ToHit. EDIT: And with -ToHit slotted in both Glittering Column and Incendiary Aura, I was pretty happy with the combined effect.

The description SHOULD say that enhancements raise magnitude, but there ARE other powers in the game that work like that (Acrobatics, for example).

Well that’s personal preference I guess. In my testing AoI offered a lot of mitigation.

If they added something like that it would have to be based on incoming damage, not current hp. They do not want anything to incentivize keeping your health low.

No definitely not. Heavily slotted AoI becomes very good.

It’s not the only power like that.

I’ve never seen a better argument for nerfing procs. A no damage ability should not be able to be turned into a nuke.

The debuff resistance stacks. If you fire off the power often enough you can have significantly higher debuff resistance.

Pretty sure they do not balance around that. They take it into consideration, but primarily they balance around performance on SOs.

Maybe a bug?

If Obscure Sustenance no longer interacts with enemies then it should definitely not root.

Yea, Brutes are good. Still tougher than Scrappers, now unequivocally more dangerous than Tankers.
