  1. scrappers seem underpowered, to me. id much rather take a stalker and get things like moonbeam out of stealth, without having to take ninjutsu/ea. tanks are fine. buff scrappers. brutes are THE farm solo active class, mostly. theyre fine. tho, a 'i run fast because im enraged' - among OPs original suggests - sounds fun! i always forget sentinels, because theyre not great. they pay very heavily for an armor secondary.
  2. eq2 enchanter gets clones. you can name them as your character, and they cast most of your spells. they look just like you. can save your life in pvp. sorta like pa, but decent in that you might well confuse them for the player. couple that with vanishes, insta stuns, confusions, dots... well, its the bestest of the classes imo.
  3. all change is or can be considered so, against a rule of an absolute static homeostatis in a given version, if everything that could adjust to compensate does not. its what gives a shifting meta, and keeps building fresh over time. but, to those concerned about balance, a change can appear as a growth of weeds. to be carefully monitored with keen eye. some other servers are just whatever-goes-f-it, and it does diminish play exp. step out for a moment. bloodborne. these days there are hacked 'false depth chalice dungeons' which are available in a search function like our most popular AE maps. inside, instead of a ludicrous challenge, with catastrophic debuffs, is instead a single corridor with a trapped defensless treasure beast which will always drop the equivalent of a 55 purple IO. that straight up ruins pvp, you either get these or you dont, because everyone has them - you know because you get hit 4x harder than you should. an extreme of how decay in a thing and lack of guard, can really shift about a meta. but, still, you shouldnt have to kick/punch to tough/weave 馃榾
  4. did it have 馃惢 bears? the lot that do this are crawlers. to the xenophobes, its a nice song: Now your mouth is foaming like a rabid dogAnd where the river flowed is now a clouded fogYour teeth are gnashing louder than your monologueAnd I just stood there bathed in the quiet ----- 诇诇讻转 讘诇讬 讚讬诪讜诐, 注讚 砖讛诐 转讜驻专讬诐 讗转 讛讘专讻讬讬诐 砖诇讱
  5. i think its always been this way. firey embrace is an odd one, and works best in double fire pairings. longer lasting dmg buff for fire (20s), and a smaller damage buff for all other types (10s). youre seeing dmg thatd include from that. shoukd it be hidden if player does not have firey embrace? you could make a strong arguement for yes. from: https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=scrapper_defense.fiery_aura.fiery_embrace&at=scrapper it does (% vary by at, but scrapper): +125% Fire Strength (self only) for 20s +100% Damage (Smashing, Lethal, Cold, Energy, Negative Energy, Psionic, Toxic) Strength (self only) for 10s
  6. ffs excelsior... 'don't feed the pandas 馃槢' (titter titter) xxx blah blah... pandas... blah xxx blah blah... bamboo.. blah so, ok. either [coded xenophobia on a perceived 'red menace' / the equivalent of calling someone a 'wily xxx gentleman'], or... [an obsession with a board game]. imma go with the former... the latter looks a bit shit (you can say that on PBS) honoroit - the disappointed like boggarts in a closet some of these folks - trying to frighten, and only ridiculous
  7. geomancy blast (mixed dmg types) - it would be difficult to change skills based on the terrain, if in air, etc. basically geomancer from ff tactics. wind control, one day assassin dual weapons - like dual weapons - claws/dagger skins, stalker only primary. a hop/combat tp like the blaster martial set.
  8. doms quicksnap - i have come to make everyone happy! - honoroit of good fortunes whats better on controller: - stuff with placables that dont benefit from domination - this is sometimes offset by signature abilities (staligmites, synaptic overload) - damage can be BAD from a primary, but youre operating at double mag in late bloom perma dom earth: - still good, but your be better dark affinity, nature, or kin imo. plant: - seeds. - creepers - can argue for a /kin with creepers, but hassle - pair with fire, or earth assault, or thorny. dark: - s'ok, pet damage is overestimated by many forum goers - dark/dark controller is a monster, or dark time if you want dual hold aura placables - harrumph. dark/ dark assault is ok. grav: - grav/kin. its silly with fulcrum. symphony: - is ugly - works well with dom - gimmicky on the stun cone - energy assault can boost range on occassion. do that for cone coverage ice: - is better now - arctic and world of confuse combo is overprice and tight on range. if youre doing that use earth assault, thorny, or savage. elec: - is so good for control with pulsing sleep patches, always up chain knockdown, a chain confuse... - ...but... on a controller you could bring real team support. fire: - not into it - its not a wonderful control set - pair with earth/savage/thorny something pbaoe'ey, i guess illusion: - pa no taunt - hands off primary allowing for focus on 2ndary - martial is quite decent with this, 2ndary to your liking. savage probably optimal for assist perma pa / warp to group. mind: - my personal favorite on dom - mass hypnosis is 馃憤 good! - dominate os a fantastic hold power - mesmerize gets range, and high mag sleep, esp w dom - cd on mass confuse too hight, but ya, and wide coverage - telekinesis, despute monster nerf, is v useful in hold mag stacking or gtfo me monster 馃懟 - savage works, as does earth. dark for power boost thingy. or thorny because its generally great. opinions differs, but generally, you do middling damage (compared to a max level blaster or scrapper) you have very good slotting diversity on a dom (many types of abilities) but... generally... yoy bring more to the table as a controller, imo. /city_of_kin im afraid. /emote tantrum
  9. the ammo typed ones in particular kind of look like tracer rounds, which could be confused for small bolts, kupo. i wish we had a 'no weapon option' with emit point from the hand, so things like using the prism costume of the rikti with the arm rifle would work. as is, any wrapon juts out clipped from an arm that otherise is a perfectly functional beam rifle / ar, or even a bow - were the emit point to be the hand where the gun attaches. anyhow, hand crossbow things, that might work well. a power set for crossbows would be also v nice, perhaps with a long reload skill thats like build up but gives ammo charges that do stuff. a shoulder bash (dark souls 3 most crossbow L2), and puncturing shots, splinter ammo (bleed), and a bear trap. 馃惢
  10. we do have a compound bow, if i recall...
  11. ^ ill have a look, thank you! i figure tank scales armors easier - being primary, has the bigger range / radius in attacks where ever it applies past burn, which is low at 5 target on brute too - but that is more for the initial strike procs versus the dot damage, and i dint think that varies? fire/claws 'feels' as fast or faster (on fire farms specifically with 54s - and grouped with buffers versus solo), when compared with my staple spines/fire brute. im 42 on dalton, with incomplete slotting and crafted ios filling in. not 50 with incarnates all maxed out. thats with buffs though from a team - which is how i want to play him, not another farmer. this just an example as i was astonished by how he compared. in general use, hes fun, and 'seems' effective so far. its hard to judge the availability of buffers on teams, like nature, kin especially, or else that buffs your damage. to me, that as a common mechanic directly diminishes brute. with a kin, everyones at their cap. albeit brutes is higher, but then were back at range on things and target caps. the truth will come of it at 50, where his compare is a sitting bio/staff.
  12. do a robots one!? id drop the end chance from stamina if you gonna 2x 50+5 - maybe put to power boost another recharge - maybe to absorb proc on temporal selection does vengeance work on pets?
  13. theres a live action one coming too in august. its about a guy who works for an exploitative company, who works him near dead. he keeps at it because the first girl hes liked works there, and keeps his spirits up. however, everyone turns into zombies suddenly - and he is happy. because he doesnt have to go to work the next day. its on netflix. this, devilman crybaby, love-sexy-robots (approximate title), castlevania, and cyberpunk edgerunners are all worth the time on netflix, imo. oh, and 'keep your hands off Eizoken!' -- easy breezy honoroit
  14. @Spaghetti Betty this is great - thank you! *remembers pokemon sleep releases this month*
  15. why closed? guessing: - private club control - not beholden of vision - people cant challenge work as element of contribution - pipedream of a payoff or placement in a game dev team they dont have to tell you anything, and can ban you for insolence, should they choose (or stealth delete posts here), with no accountability. - it is by one's good graces... however, you can always apply for 'platinum standard': i made a thread about that in excelsior forums.
  16. it isnt easy expanding a project, and this is closed source. changes from whatever was made available way back when have happened. exposing that or portions of it to folk comes with risk the team assesses with criteria unknown to us. human eccentricities grate on a person. so finding people who can work together (skipping all that prior) without wanting to rip their own eyes out when they encounter each others' code, is a thing. tolerance and screaming on the inside comes with xp, one hopefully supposes. likewise, some as journeymen can think of an implementation as owned art, as opposed to team shared executable artifact. whats silly to one, naive to another, or flawed to a third can be moment of an inspiration in the realizing of those following sentiment. 馃 we have no idea where these volunteers are at, intra-team dynamics, and so. its just not easy to do, were they even open to the hassle.
  17. i like the tank AT, its extended reach on things, bigger ranges in aoe and whatnot. the hope is i can muster 'enough' survivability to play it more as offensive melee, as opposed to something like my shield/stone (virtually immune / hardy). i want to get dipped of health for phoenix rising. the heal is decent and quick recharge. so, yup, offensive.
  18. hi, here's Dalton Crey; 3rd son of the Countess. I'm trying firey aura / claws. * he like figs, nature programs, and radio plays when falling asleep. * he disapproves of his brothers' irresponsible behaviors. * to the chagrin of the Crey family, he's taken up mantle of a hero. a tolerated nuisance, to be told - family summons are often charged. View This Build In MRB I'm trying to optimize this, keeping if I can: * spring attack * pheonix rising (because its a nuke now if you drop below 75% health) * i wish i didnt have to take 'punch' in fighting pool, but they haven't fixed it yet. can anyone see improvements? I definitely lean more attack than defense.
  19. come on @Vindicator - it's a big world out there... youre dredging through threads from a month back down voting 'them odds' and someone trying to assist in resource hunt. that's not nice, AND it's Sunday. the two you selected were - this one: helping a player find in game resource. the OP: a player inquiring about in game resource. I can hear 'I am entitled to my opinion', the question pops 'on what'?
  20. I'm sure they're very nice!
  21. that makes sense I guess! ty
  22. objectively though, what's good about it? I'm not being wicked, nor inviting summary dismissal - unless the reason is 'cuz' with nothing more to add.
  23. does shock work on a corruptor? does shock scourge? if either or both are yes, elec kin becomes enticing. it looks very 'dark' is you set it crimson, black, dark mode power colors.
  24. im hoping more sets get the battle axe treatment. its short cone being concerted to a small sphere aoe is play changing. you go from clipping a few... to chop!
  25. never taken a sentinel past 20, and that only once. the AT pays steeply for a 2ndary armor set. effectively, youd do low range aoe better on a spines stalker, and have valid use of your armors in melee range, great ATOs, and hide. it is categorically inferior to blaster, corruptor. despite having a few abilites swapped here and there. i dont see the appeal. honoroit, the philosopher
