It'll still help with (non-melee) cones though, by extending how far the cone reaches (but not the angle). Circular (PB)AOEs don't get any bonus to their radius though, as @Snarky said.
-
If you're just looking for a visual effect (and not any combat effect), you could try some of the CC emotes - Light Magic or Pure Energy might do what you're after.

Horray for immunity by virtue of not liking coffee! I will, however, vouch for one of their secret menu items - spiced apple cider (steamed apple juice, with a couple pumps of cinnamon syrup & whipped cream). They're the perfect pick-me-up on chilly fall mornings. (Though, I'll never turn one down, even in high summer. They're that good!)

Macro to select an ally and buff, all in one.
Akisan replied to Sheeshab's topic in General Discussion
IIRC, you can make a macro that'll target a specific minion and buff them, but you can't do that then switch back to your original target (unless you've macro'd that target by name, which isn't really practical). If that's what you're trying to do, you can gamble a little - casting a buff on an aggro'd enemy will cast said buff on their target (same system as targeting through an ally), so if your boss minion is that target... (I use this trick fairly often on my Empath Defender for heals, it's really convenient!) -
But... but... he's doing something, I just know it! You didn't see that massive pile of cathode ray tubes in that base I raided the other day!
-
You may be on to something with that - I just noticed that none of the regular pool sets have *any* ranged attacks (only Origin, Epic and Patron pools do). There are a lot of melee attacks to chose from though. Edit to add: I appreciate the ranged power pool, it's just wildly out of character for a medival knight to use...
-
You don't think... Nah, Nemesis *couldn't* have found a way to crossover to other games. That's just the (totally unjustifiable) paranoia talking... (Is it bad if I think it'd be fun to watch a "Nemesis" mode in some of the newer FPS games - like CoD? (for clarification - this would be a mode where one team is a standard, modern army with normal player loadouts, and the other is Nemesis Army troops, with steampunk gear that has high power but odd limitations))

Making the "Weave" power more accessible
Akisan replied to Shiro-Nethermore's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Translation: SEND NUDES PLZ Oh wow, it's been a while since I've laughed until I started crying. Not at all what I had in mind, but it does fit (both as a translation, and Switchfade's request demand) (And, an excellent example of one of the reasons I generally use words, and not Emojis) -
Perhaps they meant, as an alternate to placing a thumbtack, one could follow a teammate that is near (or soon will be near) the location you're trying to mark?
-
I'm not understanding. Sorry. Teammates are already marked on the map. As are NPCs you or the team has picked up. You can. Click on the teammates' arrow on the map, and they'll be tracked on your nav compass (including distance to), just like a stationary waypoint. (click again on that teammate's arrow to remove it, or simply set any other waypoint to track it instead)

Making the "Weave" power more accessible
Akisan replied to Shiro-Nethermore's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
🏆🤲⌛💢 (🙏?) -
This set sounds nearly perfect as a side set for my Knight (Sword/Shield Scrapper). The main request I have for it is that the thrown knife be one of the 2 starter powers - I need something fast to throw at would-be runners, and the utility of if goes down substantially if I have to burn a power pick on a weaker version of the powers I already have (possible position swap with the AoE slash)

Make long-range teleport points a P2W buyable?
Akisan replied to hollow effigy's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
I thought that was disabled? Not last I checked (has been a few weeks though, since I've all the LRTP destinations). All they disabled was the ability to instantly TP away (since it was being abused as an exploit). I mostly only use that trick to quickly visit other people's bases if it comes up while chatting. (If I don't just drop a base portal instead, so they can join me / give tours / whatever). Oh, and also worth noting - /enterbasefrompasscode still works as original if you're inside *any* SG base. (or near a base portal) Edit - summoned base portals count too! -
Make long-range teleport points a P2W buyable?
Akisan replied to hollow effigy's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
I'm... sorta ambivalent for this one. Partly I'm not a fan of P2W and the unlocks are easy enough as it is, but on the other hand... all these unlocks save you is a loading screen. LRTP drops you at the SG portal in the destination zone (same as the base teleporters), and you can use /enterbasefrompasscode for a few seconds after casting LRTP (10s?), so there's not a huge advantage to buying these. -
And I suddenly have nightmarish visions of DE Swarms getting Tsoo Sorcerer powers - because who *isn't* terrified of dozens of small, fast targets flying around with Hurricane & healing each other...
-
Maybe... I don't suppose, by chance, you also split your powers into those trays by: Attacks vs. controls (blasters/doms [or ranged vs. melee]), support vs. attacks (def/corr), and ST vs. AOE (melee ATs)? (And yeah, it's interesting to see someone else using the exact same binds - did you also set the F keys to alt_tray so they keep working when tray swapping?)
-
They're hybrid sets, and named to reflect that : Blast (ranged) <-> Assault (mixed) <-> Melee (hand to hand). Which powers you pick depends on your playstyle, though having a mix of both is nice. Similar with the Manipulaton sets: Melee <-> Manipulation <-> Control Manipulation also has some utility in it though (build-up, sustains, etc)
-
WASD movement, top number keys for power tray 1, F# keys for power tray 2, numpad for convenience macros (targeting, base entry, etc...) Mouse for turning, non-hard targeting & activating powers that are on my other trays.
-
You do have a good point on this - can we also have a way (perhaps through Null) to equip a specific one of the earned hundred badges, assuming we've earned that one? (e.g. someone with 80 kills could select 30x, but not 85x) Certain values have better rings to them (or are desired for other reasons), so that'd help prevent people from just leaving

Somewhat related - More details that work with animal heads (like monocles/hats), along with more animal heads, please!

I've never really bothered slotting any of the slow procs in it, I just treat it as a combination Health/Stamina and let the +Slow from Radial Intuition cap out the slowing effect. I have Power Transfer End.Mod + Chance to Heal & Numina Heal + Regen/Recovery in it (Perf.Shifter End.Chance in Stamina, Panacea Heal + Chance for HP/End in Health). I don't tend to have endurance issues, unless I'm boosting my recharge & casting only my Holds & Immobilize. (I'm also not going for the Numina 6-set bonus, so this may not work for you) I don't think you can even slot a couple of those listed procs (IIRC there's no to-hit check, or at least, I can't recall it ever not affecting an enemy), and I don't know if the Chance to Stun from Energy Manipulator will even trigger - if anything, since the End.Mod is on you, not the enemies, you might be the one stunned (though, I think they put protections in against that, since a few people had done that with Stamina).

TP foe in PVE should stack from different sources
Akisan replied to Chance Jackson's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
I'd rig it as each TP reduces TP protection by X amount (4 to allow bosses to be tp'd in one cast). A successful TP clears all stacks but does not grant further protection/resistance. -
I know those feels - it is pointless! I had a fully-kitted Emp/Archery Defender on Live, and yeah, it's boring playing with fully kitted groups/toons - nothing to do with the primary besides the occasional Fort, RA, or Clear Mind. Much more fun trying to do things your team's probably not geared for. (also, WOW is that a lot of HP - I think the best I ever got Absorb Pain to was about 1600 hp, enough to fully heal most squishies. I'd be rather frustrated if I'd tried to heal you from critical and only got you to 2/3)
-
My faves are: Shield/Electric Tank - because tele-fragging every group never gets old. (Seriously, alternate between Lightning Rod & Shield Charge to initiate each group. Every other tank feels so... pedestrian afterwards) Sword/Shield Scrapper (in full plate) - for when it's time to get medieval. (Kinda wish we had lances & tabards for him though...) And of course, my main - Archery/Ice/Fire Blaster (who's never gotten old - RP + Badging + just playing/chatting with friends adds so much longevity!)

Add a Bit of Wiggle Room to 'On the Ground' Powers
Akisan replied to TheZag's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
I would pay money to see a superhero attempt to Foot Stomp a sandbar without a) flying/hovering or b) sinking up to their knee in sand. Oh, and, c) obliterating the sandbar doesn't count either. (nice try, you Rules Lawyers out there) As for the OP, I'd be ok with a lot of those restrictions being lifted. Many of the other, strangly restrictive stuff's been tweaked (like being rooted by Unyielding). As @Rudra mentioned though, some have very strong thematic reasons to be grounded, but not all. (Some could simply get alternate, mid-air animations though!)
