That’s the case. NPCs can’t really interact with NPCs from different spawns. Most of the time they’re not even able to use targeted ally buffs on an NPC from a different spawn.

Those are Malaise's signature costume pieces, it doesn't make any sense that we have access to the ones we do have.

How am I saving 5 slots? If I six slotted an attack with a damage set it's obviously an attack I want to use and I'll six slot it either way. 6-slotting Overwhelming Force in something is slotting smarter because it gives decent enhancement values and set bonuses, and gets you knockback protection without having to devote a mule slot.

Unless, like Rathulfr said, you six-slotted OF to get the KB protection but don't want every attack you have to become knockdown.

...In which case you'd lose out on travel speed or a spot to put a LotG. And you can't put Zephyrs into Swift, Sprint, or its equivalents.

Has Fline Blaze been unpersoned?!?!?!/1

I'm sure @arcanaville had some kind of tool to let you pause and take control of the camera in a demo around the time of the shutdown. (I remember because she posted a video showing it off where she looked around a recording of a Magisterium trial in progress, and took a moment to look directly at my character.) It doesn't seem to be on her YouTube channel now, though, at least not publicly.

What if they turned ET into a targeted AoE with only 5 max targets, similar to Thunder Strike? Each target besides the primary takes some Energy damage, but if you don't hit some extra targets you take that damage instead. As an example, if you hit only the primary target, it's identical to how it works now. Hit 1 other target, and you take half the damage you take now. Hit 2 or more extra targets, you take no damage. I dunno, I'm just spitballing. I like the animation. I figure making it an AoE means the animation is more justified.

Actually, Field Medic only removes the interrupt from Aid Other. Aid Self remains interruptible, but restores some endurance with Field Medic.

You’re gonna want Build Up much, much earlier, you maniac. Tough and Weave are also not worth putting off Blizzard. If you’re gonna 5-slot a Power with purples, like you’ve done with BFR and Ice Storm, skip the Damage IO, not the Dam/Rech/Acc IO. You can boost one or more other IOs in the set to +5 to still hit the ED cap for damage. Slot Freeze Ray for damage, not hold; it’s your highest DPA attack outside of Blizzard. Put recharges into Energize so it’s perma. You can take the slots from Health; perma-Energize will do much more for your HP and End than the Numina and Miracle uniques will. For my money, Intuition Radial is the best Alpha for Ice Blast. The only thing you can’t benefit from in Intuition is the defense debuff, everything else it gives is useful.

I don't think you guys understand how badly some people can play. For example, I once teamed with this Blaster that wasn't actually activating his attacks, but saying things like "I use the Fire Ball ability!" in Team chat. When he faceplanted, he just said "Sorry guys, I don't play with killer DMs," and quit. And the other day we had an Empathy Defender that wasn't healing anyone no matter what, and spent the whole mission destabilizing the government of Georgia. What other way to describe these playstyles is there besides "wrong?"

Yes, I understood that. My point was there was no "if" condition listed for Dark Consumption.

That's not the story Red Tomax tells. On the page for Consume, the endurance recovery portion says "20 Endurance (after 0.25 second delay) If (@ToHitRoll < @ToHit) or @ForceHit". On the page for Dark Consumption, it only says " 25 Endurance (after 0.25 second delay)", no mention of a ToHit roll.

Well that just makes no damn sense. Even Dark Consumption is autohit for end recovery, according to Red Tomax. There's no reason Consume shouldn't be.

Then why does the combat log say it's autohit on the targets?

According to the combat log, it's autohit.

I'm going to guess "probably."

It looks like there's a green badge on your map underneath a waypoint at your position, is that not the marker for Nocturnal Pilgrim?

I tried this and was sent to Cimerora as expected... I think you had both TFs selected when you queued and it chose to send you to Harlan.

I always choose to save both and just wipe out the Knives with a Judgment. At -1, No Bosses with 3 level shifts it's a one-hit kill on all of them.

Several times now I've used the Consume power on my Fiery Aura Brute in range of mobs, and seen it restore little to no endurance. I have no idea what's going on with it, unfortunately. All I can say is that I can see in the combat log that it never hit anything, even though I was in range of enemies.

Good call.

It might not be the best for powers like Charged Brawl or Ice Melee's Frozen Aura, where they're actual attacks with a sleep side effect, but moves like Mesmerize and Flash Freeze are rendered useless by interface DoTs.

Wide Area Web Grenade.

If you could find a way to make it not hurt sleeping foes, that'd be a great thing to add to the Interface powers (after addressing the bug that makes them suck), because the added DoT makes certain powers like Mesmerize and Flash Freeze useless.
