Monos King

I would be very much for this. Would be great for casual PvP, and another method of giving people exposure to it as well. Being able to PvP from what's essentially their front door would be a good incentive for people that just don't want to go out of their way to incorporate it into their glancing fun time.

How about we not do this one though. There are already enough reasons to congregate at Atlas and Mercy, and some of us like going to those zones. Taking away even something like the pocket d entrance just ensures they'll be dead zones even more. Also I don't see any reason for this one to begin with, not everything needs to be accessible within seconds of making the character. If anything, just adding pocket d to mercy and atlas would be better, although wouldn't really fix the problem aforementioned.

Block of Ice inflicts all measures of slow But does not allow the slotting of slow movement IOs such as Pacing of the Turtle, Impeded Swiftness, Etc. Nor does it allow ordinary Slow enhancements. Update: This is also the case with Chilblain.

Very brief, minor suggestion. Doesn't make sense this power inflicts no -rech. This absence disrupts both theme and the layering of debuffs that would be expected of a power with a debuff secondary effect.

Well, most of the issues people have brought up in this thread already concern more than just stalkers, and rather the placate effect itself, so maybe this will finally get recognition.

Oh come on, you didn't even try to pretend you weren't ignoring everything I said there. My comments aren't a position, they are calling for him to defend his. Which it wasn't even originally, but it's become a way to get this debate out of obscurity. When you say "This car is faster than other cars" and someone says "can you prove it" you don't then say "why don't you prove your car isn't slower". That's asking for the other person to prove it for you. You're literally just going "no u". I'll be talking to @Obitus exclusively on this matter now, you may carry on once you understand basic conventions.

Not to mention I'm humoring the idea that requesting some modicum of proof when you make a claim is somehow "asking without offering". That's not how this works. When you put forth a position, it is your job to defend said position. If your position happens to be "Sentinels would, at worst, tie in clear times with a blaster" then when someone says "cool, I find that hard to believe, show me" it is incumbent on you to demonstrate, if you want your claim to hold water. Of course, I'm not saying he wasn't going to, because we were literally in the midst of negotiating before you decided to interject. Anyone sharing his position is kind of punching up here, because blasters are a damage class meant to ruin mobs, and most wouldn't think a non hyper dmg dealer would compete with them to begin with. If actually providing that evidence is somehow too much for him (which it must not be seeing how he responded, and not you) then it isn't a position he could even maintain.

Interesting. Well here's one. What was it I said in that very reply you followed with "blah blah..."

You see nihilii, when you assume the role of hypocrite, and deflect addressing explanation and evidence with You don't get to be taken seriously anymore. If you were paying attention, you would know that twice I have accepted to doing whatever Mr. Obitus likes because above all else, I want to see what I presume to be a good sentinel mess things up. Of course, I also want to see it surpass a blaster. That's why I offered to. Here's my forum warrior advice, it might sound familiar. Don't come in late. It'll make you look silly.

But I thought I wanted to see his Sentinel in action.

It seems disingenuous to ignore that: 1) That challenge isn't prohibited by my request 2) I am the one that discussed beta activity to begin with, and first expressed interest 3) That challenge isn't necessary to prove either of our points, and 4) I was addressing exactly the problem that he didnt seem to want to provide proof, via competition or by my audience. I quoted that line because, as it followed the other, it seemed to say "even if you come down here looking to verify , if that's all you want from me I'm not interested." Pretty much invalidating the offer. It's best you don't come in late and act the wise man. I was from the beginning, and still am, interested in seeing his performance.

Cool but this is why I want you to show me your clear times. In action. I'll believe it when I see it.

Oh I'm not even one of these people claiming blasters are Kings of the Clear, though the best blasters do have greater potential than the best of other classes generally. They're just better than Sents. By a lot. By the time you nuked a mob for half their health, the blaster just danced on their corpses in half that time. It doesn't take much to give the blaster enough survival to use damage as a defense.

So I want to be clear this isn't sarcasm or a trap or anything, I HAVE to see your sentinel clearing content at a comparable speed to high end blasters. Please transfer your sent to beta or something, message me, I want to see this. This is unprecedented.

Wait, what?

It's possible, although another placate that drops -res (misdirection) works fine in PvP on its own.

There's more cold damage than you think, although its primarily circle of thorns and still not a lot. Their demon ghost actually do negative energy/ice similar to dark Astoria demons. And they also have the less seen Hellfrost bosses and the even rarer Blade Princes. It'd be great to get more of them showing up places.

Didnt find any posts addressing this, so I'll make a thread on it now. This is a bug for all intents and purposes, seeing as it nullifies an entire mechanic from use, but I'll post it here just in case. Currently in PvP, any and all debuffs prevent placate from placating. Lingering debuffs, debuffs from pets, Lingering debuffs from pets, debuffs from an attack launched minutes before, debuff patches, even interface debuffs, meaning if you roll interface you don't get to placate, period. In fact, here's a list of things that break placate. Summoning a pet with debuff aura Your pets attacking Your pets debuffing (aura, past attacks, etc) Attacking Having a debuff on your opponent Any additional mez (dealing damage or otherwise) Respawning It's no wonder no one takes placate on stalkers here. Of these, condition 5 is the one that just can't keep happening. It's horrible! And only break conditions 7, 4, 2, and 3 should be off the table for removal entirely. That leaves 1 and 6 as wildcards, in my opinions. As it stands, no pvper can make use of placate in a practical or effective manner - with one exception that requires frighteningly withholding build "optimization" and is situational to exactly one type of play for one type of function (this being support). And even that is just relying on an over potent IO. Would love to see this fixed so placate can actually be used.

I think voltaic sentinel should get short circuit. And short circuit is replaced with a cool ST mini thunderous blast that also has a chance to zap a lot of end. Or tesla just gets the abyssal gaze treatment and voltaic sentinel still gets short circuit.

I just came to address the misconception that the RV temp pets are anything other than affronts to purpose itself, as those scrap piles do less damage than unequipped Lich and are absolutely nothing compared to their RV zone counterparts. They are a garbage fire in both function and composition, smoldering away at the lightest flush of wind. They suck, and I hate them.

This has been suggested many times, and I am again in favor of it.

I think those two exist already in paralytic and gravitic respectively.

Update: Bruiser also cannot slot disorient sets, such as absolute amazement and stupefy.

As seen, the Umbral Beast is enhanceable for immobilization via it's Shadowy Binds power, but cannot receive corresponding Enhancement IOs.

LS and Tornado are pseudopets. This is specific to henchmen and other true pets. Interestingly though, as tornado is known to proc force feedback on the caster, it should definitely also proc soulbound. This was a manual change which makes little sense, though that's a side note. Edit: Also it isn't due to lowered recharge. I had thought maybe that was it myself, and tested it 100 times, to no avail. Dark Servant for instance still works properly, but MM henchmen do not. Upon comparing files, MM pets currently are set to not allowing procs, which they did previously. This setting refers to the summon itself, not the pets powers.
