If you really get it, why do you keep bringing up all the aspects that make the set balanced among melee sets and concluding that they make it unbalanced?

I don't think you understand. Rage is a stronger self-buff than any other set gets. But Super Strength is not a better set than every other set is, because the advantages Rage gives are made up for by disadvantages elsewhere. Thus, balance. I'm not sure Galaxy Brain's got data on Super Strength, since AFAIK he's only done those charts for Scrappers, Blasters, and Masterminds, none of which get Super Strength.

That sounds exactly like balance to me.

It's absolutely fixating, the downside is in effect less than 10% of the time yet it's all you can talk about. That and the name of the power, which has no effect in gameplay.

They have the same sets except Sentinels have the Snipes and some control powers replaced with more traditional attacks. How are their ST attack chains so much worse, then?

I don't need Accuracy, Rage gives me oodles of +ToHit as well

It's incredible how people can fixate on the negative. With Rage you have Build Up 90% of the time. It's literally Build Up! There's nothing more Super Strength than having a massive damage buff all the time. If that means a trivial amount of time spent doing no damage for game balance reasons, that's something I'm absolutely fine with.

Of course not.

Then why did you say that increasing the damage would be a laughably easy fix to it’s prpblems?

Not really a fair comparison, is it? For permanent double-stacked Rage you need 300% recharge, but for permanent double-stacked Follow Up you only need 100% recharge. With 300% recharge on Claws, using Follow Up every time it's charged means you're spending 1 second out of every 4 casting Follow Up, and I have to guess at that point your DPS has nose-dived.

One stack of Rage is still stronger than two stacks of Follow Up and can itself be double stacked, it isn't subject to the 95% hit cap or enemy defense buffs or tohit debuffs and so never fails, you don't need to spend as much time activating it, at high recharge amounts you actually spend more time activating Follow Up than you spend in the Rage crash, it costs less endurance (even with the endurance crash), it looks pretty

It has a .95 ranged damage scalar, which is higher than Defenders, Controllers, or Kheldians. Well that's about a 6.5% increase in damage. Not really sure that's gonna have the effect you're looking for. I thought you said this was easy?

Just to clarify, are you claiming that the crash is a penalty for the damage buff bringing SS up to par, or that it's what keeps SS from outperforming everything else?

Yeah, it seems pretty hypocritical to me for one to accuse the original devs of a lack of creativity when one can’t even conceive of a character whose concept doesn’t follow its powers’ in-game mechanics 1-to-1.

Have you got the little articles and stuff about the actual game they’d have in the back of the physical issues, though? Now that would be a find.

So... inaccessible? Or you want them to put in a room that’s only reachable through map holes?

Spewing spent brass from what

If you want more passive regeneration, keep the Numina. However, as a Nature you don't really need that piddly regen buff either. I'd drop both and put a Preventive Medicine in there.

Male characters can’t have waist capes because the fluttering of the cape would be like a bright red signal every time they fart. It’s fine on female characters because as we all know, girls don’t fart.

They should just switch the IO to lock the slow snipe. Permanent fast snipe is pointless, it's trivially easy to get into fast snipe mode.

I use a high-yield explosive rocket launched in her direction with a note tied to it that says "i think ur cute ❤️"

So, as you know, it's only 173 days until Halloween, and the Halloween event starts even sooner than that, so it's the perfect time to bump this thread!

Maybe we could've had a cold damage proc by now if somebody *👈👈👈* had been able to come up with a name for an IO set that sounded like it would do cold damage...

I have no experience with this pet specifically, but I don’t think there’s a single NPC in the game with a toggle that doesn’t turn it on and off intermittently.

I believe the red blasts in Energy Assault were also new FX at the time, and Ice Sword Circle and Ice Slash were new powers, but made from existing FX and animations.
