seismic blast / kin - staligmite with fulcrum shift empowered... dead things, and your a corruptor, so scourge. - similar smash with the cone, aoe, and meteor... and snipe... and everything basically - its not fire, but its suprisingly potent. - you dont run out of end, just steal some - you can heal, and effectively - you have some safety from the knockdown aura seismic powers give you earth control / time - 2x hold placables - earthquake all the time - safe - bad / not good damage better, earth control / tac arrow - you control patches of land, and well - some proc opportunities - bad / not good damage

ive taken a break from d4, probably until season 1 starts. thoughts: xp is too slow. in d3 you could get a gem of ease or two into gear, grab a hellfire amulet and ring, and turn kadala shards into something early. in 3h or less, you be max level with a new character. and fron lvl1 you could rift. the immediacy was good, the 'i can play for 30m', in d4 thats a nightmare dungeon run or few, I suppose. too much travel. the horse makes you skip mobs, and get caught on things. it makes running to a place an activity that takes you out of combat as its function, and you traverse a world to get to a place. at least in wow a griffin/bat taking several minutes is met with some nice scenery and doesnt need a player to drive it about. Im not keen on the mounts. i havent the slightest desire, nor intention, of scouring the map for lillith statues, i want to chase unicorns in whimsyshire instead. im maining necro, with pets and shadow corpse explosion. ive been the same build for 30 levels. in d3, and im bored shitless of it. and i love diablo art, lore, and necro class styling. i literally cannot see beneath the cloud of blight, so end up making blackened paint over much of the screen, and dodge about resummoning pets. it gets samey in a way corpse lance didnt (imo). in d3, you could swap a lot and often, then runes to get yourself dialed in. again, immediacy, and no gold charge. paragon is fuller in d4, but its also VERY drawn out. so ya, imma let it settle for a bit, see where a longer haul takes the thing.

FFXVI - Joshua Rosfield inspired. [/img] View This Build In MRB decent ranged def, ok AOE def. has burnout, which I love for a snappy dps cycle ever so often, double inferno, rain, fireball... or double rez. has heat exhaustion for the debuff for tough-stuff to regen, does not have melt armor, nor does it take forge. for the incarnate things - I'll take pyro because its quick and throws like a fireball. barrier because people in chat wont stfu about it being REQUIRED!!! the pink amoeba / elemental ball pets bc favorite (w/ an intangible) damage'y other else. honoroit-joshua_rosfield.pdf

yup, it works in health.

if i had to snap pick top tier stalkers, for primarily grouping: ice/bio/the-epic-that-gets-moonbeam-and-def-press - the foot stomp and the cone, its cold damage. spines/bio/same - ranged stuff, toxic dots, skip the flippy one (too slow/small)

im for just removing the pre-req, just like thunderspy did in this case. keep the level requirement. and, you can only have so many powerpools in total opened. so a lot of people would pick a skippable in primary/2ndary, or flesh another pool. you might see a melee granting you invis 😉

right! so removing pre-reqs on tough/weave adds new options by giving you back what barring with kick/punch takes away, horray, kupo! (giving brutes stacking anything.new w/ fury makes them more powerful - on one hand, options open, like they did with fitness, on the other, new mechanic that buffs existing stats. minutia here is pedantic, but recharge improve limiting by end as a fixed resource is valid during lvling on the brute rage thing. that all aside, they're both proposed change, and what comes with.)

some people here are just generally unpleasant! they decry qol for *i dont want to take kick and unbar it, and my build variety explodes with a new travel power, a skippable, or something else!* as dangerous, probably sinister/left handed power creep.... but among the same folks wants for aim instead of beanbag on 'Assault Rofl' set (and complaining about my posts until some cooperative mod clips them silently) with reasoning of *no one wants beanbag*, ignoring balancing/set diversity entirely, or passing creep as 'lateral expansion' for this or things like reworking a brute's inherent (which I am also all for exploring!). look, thunderspy is silly. its silly because 1) I'm used to homecoming, and 2) homecoming doesnt take the piss with balance. (2) is a good thing, but important too is player enjoyment and buildcraft flex over a period of several years of play. it would be FUN, yes, heavens forbid FUN, for me (and others, and you conservator detractor) to not have to unbar kick/punch. in a smaller way, like fitness IS FUN as inherent - because it frees up 3x slots. its the dark controller who FINALLY has a shot of 'black hole', the stingy tight builder (me) who NEVER has space for a travel power... its fun, you monsters! its supposed to be, kupo. its supposed to get better. it does, by and large. but not by standing still. thats decay, and boredom resultant - typically and increasingly over time. -- honoroit, the cultist

it would be 'power creep' though, wouldn't it (any balancing is) - so absolute non-movement in any direction is the conservator's dream, kupo! i like the idea of a brute moving faster, like a charging bull. works for beastmen. good luck.

theres only so many people you can blow up with a grenade, before theres no shrapnel or shock wave left to go around. so target caps are good.

power creep, kupo! ohhhhh, power creep if you get aim. ohhhhhhhhh, kupo!

its best, for me at any rate, to think of confuse purely as damage mitigation, with a touch of dps. there is a small tax - put that from your mind. in steamrolled content, it is effective cc and the smoothing it brings outweighs any race for xp per unit time. now, if youre farming and it effects inf gain per mob, that balance comes in still. are you staying 'more' alive and killing more mob per unit time because of offset recovery youd otherwise engage? thats calculus for your character optimization. the sentiment (dont worry about it) remains.

this looks great, id play it! 'hypnotize' should be mag 3 or 4 sleep, imo.

got the name, and another excuse to fetch up 100x prisms for the CoT Guide robes. last build - think you were right to drop melt armor - you either stack -res or you don't, and the cooldown base is too high for a splashed debuff.

gaming my whole life, like much of you Id suppose. theres been a decline in capture for me in games over the last few years. dunno if its the ever-fps, a dearth of mmos, or an over grindy/spaced-stretched diablo 4 most recently. mercifully there still coh to mess about in! cyberpunk rpg way back when warhammer fantasy battle warhammer ropeplay 40k aos anime i dont talk to anyone, not since the attack. never really did before. was married for a good dozen years, they had cancer, got better, but became violent and threatening at the end. so loner, i guess, and nerd by all thatd define a person that way anymore. which i dont think is such a thing as it may have been 30y ago.

fighting doesnt necessarily involve (the attacked, in this case) knowing kick/punch.

from someone who's been jumped by thugs on the street, attacked by being hit to the ground from the back of the head, and beaten, for lols?, I can tell you from lived experience - fighting does not always involve knowing how to kick or punch. unfortunately I am neither tough, nor can I weave. PS - i will never go back to seattle, saw crime there you wouldn't believe, children in 'youth' uniforms, prostitutes in chains (i shit you not) at midday, hard drug use rampant, visible, violence. a cess pit, mismanaged clearly, and policemen with tattoo'd swasticas on their arms. military surplus or otherwise obtained non-civilian grade vehicles being paraded about. people buying SWAT vehicles that were somehow for sale. a man on a bus saluting the nth reich, and me glancing annoyed, only to be whispered to to keep my eyes down. I will never go back to seattle. a VERY long way from the nation's capital, is one way to put it.

my trade route stayed for the duration I played, maybe there's still a little pocket prompto.

well curses! id thought it was who discovered it first, and although massive in scale, in play youd certainly did come across names that stuck from other players past escapades. maybe the changed it, its been a time.

crumbs and stars! ive never heard the word milksop before. its probably deeply offensive? its probably a euphamism for effeminate in a diminutive way? milksop, one to remember, with poltroon, 'nancy boy' , and whatever a 'pantywaist' is. lacking in leadership (as historically rejected as so, this crafted a manner of means to an end in social effect. weird words in a twist, huh?) at my boarding school, people used to refer to others as 'feebs'. i had no idea at the time, it wasnt a sentiment i would not express as it was clearly cruel; that that was remnant of genetic selection of the wrong kind. such sorrows, this world. and infected of our children. so sweeps waves, shapes, hate, and Man in his caves. harrumph. if i ever overburn toast, i like to, if i have it, dip it in the head of unshaken full milk. its delicious. The name Milksop is thought to derive from the Middle English word "milksop," which was "a piece of bread soaked in milk." As a name, it may have evolved from a nickname for a "spiritless" man. It has also been suggested that it mays have been an occupational name for a farmer who dealt with milk products.

well, its more about the presumption of an adjudication, but you do you.

oh I really don't, nor do i wish to - you seem slimy - and thank you.

yin is great, and would be fun in a hard mode. you have characters that are slotted enough to be dangerous. everyone brings a spectrum of powers at effective 25ish if theyre over level. theres mobs to the side rooms in final map, that are easy xp to enjoy (just force the issue if youre a tank and grab them, you only have ~30s until the cutscene plays on entry because someone is trying to get back to lfg again). it doesnt make you kill n mobs in every zone through 35 (except hollows) they could turn on the reactor bubble thinger mechanic.

sure, but given druthers would you not rather have a free power choice to pick up: any given other pp available? fire breath on fire blast? black hole on dark affinity? inertial reduction on kin? thaw on thermal? clarity on sonic? or room for the rez in some builds? or dip med pool on a healer? repulsion field toggles? personal force field? a good couple dozen others that end up being sidelined because you need to get then unbar kick/punch? (better than 'kick' - popular dc universe super hero raven defends self using signature light magicks)

there are at least ~70 solar system in No Mans sky where EVERYTHING is named prompto. planets, station, plants, animals... i wonder if anyone passed them over the years. (popular marvel super hero - thor)
