I am going to try cognitive soon and see how it works. The confuse is low mag and low duration, but will be interesting to see how well it stacks when you’re attacking a lot.
Plus my character is psychic themed so will fit nice!
REmember to test this over Brainstorm. It'll save you incarnate materials.
I still remember testing the one that saps enemies and having killed the +4 rikti with their blue bar still intact.

They also will proc differently. The stun/kb will use 20s cooldown, and is a spherical AoE (15'?). The damage will use a 6s cooldown and has the area factor of a cone with 20' radius and 55 degree.
While I have your attention, Bopper, has there been any internal talk of letting Fault work with Hover? Just asking more pointedly to know if it's a hard no and no point in requesting it, or talk about it is ongoing with a maybe in the horizon.

What about non-SS sets?
I wouldn't mind some sort of ATO rework for brutes as the +fury one seems a bit meh. Stalker, Scrapper, and Tanks all got really good ATOs.
While this goes beyond just Brutes, getting a Fort to near completion has really made me think about what a build can handle.
I think any new brute build outside of that will likely be StJ with something which promotes a blender style build. Rad has the best top end in that it has +recharge and damage, but it has no mitigation in terms of -recharge as where Elec does. EA doesn't add damage, but it has -recharge def built in due to being def based and has a solid -recharge to mobs. I'm about tapped in terms of doing EA right now with one 50 and two others being leveled.
I finished DA with my Fort, so I need to bet back to my Rad/bio and start pushing it to see it finish off the area as well. So far that's doing well as a build.
Despite being perfectly happy with my EM/Fire I've decided to level a StJ/Fire next. Just because I like playing the game but don't really play the game much anymore. Leveling something is a good excuse to go out.
I've only done the combo with a Tanker and was not impressed but I like that the AoE lets me slot a FF proc so it's time to try it on a Brute and see how the differences feel.

New players can't afford Amplifiers even on live. The only way they could possibly scrape together enough inf is with marketeering tactics they are absolutely not going to know.
New new players don't even know amplifiers exist. New players who start in a new server or do a no-inf-transfer challenge can get them at level 1 by whatever tricks more experienced players know. In my case it was picking 5 merits from a badge around Atlas.
But if I know new players who are making new alts and I direct them at Amplifiers? Absolutely. Lets not pretend this game was not called City of Cooldowns for a long time between misses, waiting for recharges, waiting for endurance to recover, THEN MISSING! Amplifiers remove a lot of this in the very early game before we get comfy with IOs and slots. A new player (not necessarily a new alt) is the right person who will enjoy the big boost that amplifiers bring and avoid the drab levels where no powers, no slots, no money to afford SOs is prevalent.

I believe the issue, @Sovera, that is -trying- to be addressed with this kludge is that a player could make a new character, purchase a full 8 hours in each of the Amplifiers for 24,000 Inf, turn on their Self-Suppression Toggle, sit in an AE and level up to 50, and then reap the benefits of the Amplifiers for less than the intended cost.
Honestly, that seems like a lot more work than it's worth for such a monumentally small benefit at level 50. Meanwhile, players at low levels who truly benefit from the Amplifiers will see that reasonable price being taken away from them.
Yeah, I got that and mentioned it in my previous posts. I don't see people leveling a character from scratch, respecing, reslotting, probably hunting accolades (but probably skipping that if it's just a throw away character), only to save... how much was it for a full 8 hours of all three? 60-62 million? I'm not going to say that 60-62 million is peanuts, but someone leveling an alt via power leveling for the purpose -will- have earned 60 mill in raw inf.
I sound too much like a clever fellow trying to push it so I can continue abusing the power, but really, no. Don't use amplifiers other than on my newbies who can -really- make use of it by pushing the difficulty up in a moment of their lives they have no slots and no IOs bonuses.
-
I'm not super super fussed with the amplifier change because if we are on a full team it does not matter a lot. Solo, yeah, new players go royally shafted.
I STILL don't understand WHY though. The idea seems to be that players can easily stop the timer and only resume its use when desired.
But, again, it's not a command. It's a difficulty option in a TF. So how, exactly, are players going to abuse this? By starting a solo TF with that option toggled on? And then what? Never again team or do any other TF so that they don't leave that solo-started-TF which otherwise will make the amplifiers tick down?
If indeed it is a command like /stoprunningamplifiers then yeah, I can see the abuse.

I don't know how to respond to this without sounding like I'm saying learn to play. Lining up cones is not difficult. Golden Dragonfly hits 3 to 5 all the time. Hitting that many with Fault is considerably easier than that.
... Yeah, lets perhaps not go down that path, shall we?

If you think of it as a Line attack then yes it is dependable. If you try to use it like a cone on guys spread in front of you then no.
Yikes. Yeah, that's terribad. Old Shadow Maul bad. The CC is a benefit to the build but an early AoE to tidy it up until 32 is just or more important in my book.
Well, lets see how this goes.

You don't have to jump back. I took a Stone/Stone into a 4/8 mission and Fault was definitely making a big difference. It's not Foot Stomp, no, but it doesn't have to be.
I'm not asking for that. I haven't actually used it so you're ten steps ahead of me. I was just surprised at seeing CoD say it had 35% arc. You've used it, how does it feel? Old Shadow Maul style? Actually dependable to hit 5+ enemies?

It’s Ranged. Comparison to Shadow Maul is hardly appropriate.
We are meleers. We are in melee range. People are not going to jump ten feet back to use it. I think it's appropriate. It's on the line of Fire Breath.

Scrapper data doesn't appear to be up on COD Beta yet
Interestingly the Brute version has greater range and radius. But COD is a couple of builds behind on BETA right now, so that may have been normalized/fixed/however you'd like to say it.
Thanks Jojo. And holy crap, 6 second recharge? Wat? 35º cone? Wow... That's... pretty terrible? Back to the bad old days of trying to fit 5 mobs in Shadow Maul, is it?

Isn't this being updated in Page 3?
I could have sworn I saw something about it in the patch notes.
Some minor bug fixes. Incidentally related to Fiery Embrace, but nothing huge and nothing about tweaking the raw numbers of Hemorrhage itself.
'Fixed' was the incorrect word. It's just so undertuned there is no point in taking it other than for cool factor (which is still a good point in itself).

I'm not sure I understand the geometry of the new fault. The patch notes suggest that the damage cone only extends between the caster and the target, which would make it have variable length? No other cone effect in the game works like this to my knowledge? How does it react to range enhancement and +range global bonuses? Also just to confirm, it is affected by the tanker arc buff right?
If it is a variable length cone between caster and target and you have a separate radial fault effect around the target you are then torn when targeting. For maximum damage coverage you would want to target a critter at the back of the pack but you are then wasting fault radius extending beyond the pack. For maximum control coverage you would target a critter in the middle of the pack but then the damage cone would be shortened.
I've had a quick play with it and it seems to work ok but it's very hard to tell on screen exactly what is going on! Another thought; if a critter is in both areas of effect is the power making two separate hit rolls against them for the damage and control effects?
Also, neither the dev notes nor the info on the power seems to indicate size of the cone and depth. Or perhaps I'm blind. Is it a 90% cone? More? Less?
I also feel it's quite a complicate solution on all levels as opposed to a short range Shockwave clone with the CC changed around.

Some stone powers require you to be on the ground. Fault in stone melee and Geode in Stone Armor. These are earth based sets, after all.
Roleplay is nice and all, but shouldn't be mixed in with gameplay. Two travel powers are negated with that, and we have other powers that 'need to touch the ground' and that work while we hover as low as we get.
I mean, I can certainly kludge keybinds with powtoggleoff for my attacks where Fault toggles off Hover and my normal attacks toggle Hover back on with powtoggleon, but that seems kinda much dumb when powers like Footstomp can stomp the ground as long as we are hovering on the ground.
Overall it's the same roleplay but it understands that a character goes beyond coding and can just, y'know, extend their feet and touch the floor even when flying.
Granted, the dev silence on this matter makes me think the keybinds will have to be the solution but hope springs eternal.

Some things have changed with the patches. On the whole Fire Armor is still an offfense based armor and it is now more durable. But despite Burn having been tweaked to be (mostly) back on par with the bugged version it is (mostly) not worth using in a ST situation. This may require testing on a per case basis.
I'm messing around with Brutes and dropping builds piece meal into the forums where they will get lost. Might as well make a second compilation thread. Maybe I'll call it the Branker.
Yeeeeeeeahno.
Anyway.
Perennial Claws/Fire. Can't go wrong with it. Might be better on a Tanker? That's because Claws' Follow-up work better on a Tanker. But also because by level 20 a Tanker has Spin -and- Burn -and- Follow-up and the team is merely following the ball of scratchy flaming death.

------------StJ/Fire. I remember getting annoyed with the piano rotation because of Crushing Impact's rotation. I've gone around this with a simpler Crushing Impact, Burn, Heavy Blow, Rib Cracker, Heavy Blow. This leaves a one second ish gap. Adding another Heavy Blow before Burn fixes it. Again a Tanker might get more out of this as Spinning Strike has an anemic radius making it act more like a cone than a fireball effect. Tankers, of course, get 50% more radius. This build is not bad at all in my opinion. The FF procs in Spinning Strike work about as well as Dragon Tail in Martial Arts and just like Dragon Tail the soft CC is invaluable.

------------MA/Fire. It's nearly as good as the Tanker version with 45% to melee/ranged/AoE and 90% to S/L (hole in E/N though), but the first AoE comes out at 26. Cringe. Can't see myself leveling something to 26 without AoEs and always have that Damocles sword if wishing to exemplar. At least a Tanker gets Burn at 18 which fills the AoE needs.

------------Stone/Fire. I'm not touching this until the patch hits (and then I will have to rebuild it to include Fault (assuming the devs kindly give it the same code that allows Burn/Footstomp/Tremor/etc to be used while Hover-ing near the ground)) because again, first AoE comes at 28. Bless the current devs who understand a set shouldn't level without AoEs! Tanker again gets Burn at 18 so (until the patch at least) a Tanker version will be easier to level.

------------Rad/Fire. Amazing passive AoE that kills a group while a boss is being punched. This build uses Devastating Blow but I sing the praises of the Contaminated Strike variant over here. It will do less damage in pylon tests but achieve the same result in practical tests without 2.9 second animation locks.

------------Ice/Fire. What I consider the best blend in offense and defense. The lower damage is offset by Brute and by Fire Armor. At 3:20 it has nearly a minute worse times in pylons than the EM's 2:30 (but EM is a beast) but one minute better times than the Tanker version. No -res procs involved. For a new player who wants to be safe but be punchy this build is my advice. Just start fights with Ice Patch.

------------DM/Fire. To be honest Touch of Fear is kinda weak (just compare it to Shadow Maul's damage) and the contortions to reach the goals while slotting it may not be worth it in a build that already has Burn to complement Shadow Maul. But, welp, here we go.

------------It's minmaxed to make use of the scaling resist IO and Barrier to finish capping S/L defenses and resistances.
ST chain is something like Crushing Impact, Burn, Heavy Blow, Rib Cracker, Heavy Blow. It's not perfect since there's about a second to start the loop, but slots being so sparse as usual I didn't feel like adding another attack. It can be circuited by changing the rotation to Crushing Impact, Heavy Blow, Burn, Heavy Blow, Rib Cracker, Heavy Blow. It's not terrible to spam Heavy Blows since it has the FF proc in there.

I'm biased so my opinion is thus biased. As someone who only buys amplifiers once (but who -always- buys them) and never again past level 1 I am obviously in the opinion that those initial 8 hours (that usually last me until I reach Manticore) are more important than them not dripping down at level 50... obviously because I don't use them at level 50.
Some sort of compromise would be good since levels 50 are people too though we could always argue levels 50 make a lot of money and can afford the amplifies ticking down.
But rather than diminish a level 50 annoyance at seeing their amplifiers ticking down a compromise, yes. Not sure what would be satisfactory though. But the 'worry' that someone makes a new alt, buys 8 hours, and then toggles them on and off just when doing TFs, seems a bit minor, no? It still takes someone making a new alt, leveling it for 3-5 hours, collecting accolades, slot and respec... to save buying amplifiers for 8 hours?
Dunno, I can understand the point of view, but even if it happens it's going to be a once-per-character thing. Can't imagine people making an industry out of it.
The more common worry seems to be that a character will make that large investment and then dole the use of the amplifiers to make them last. Can the amplifiers actually be paused via a command or does it take doing a TF with the 'no temp powers' option? If it takes being in TF/flashback mode with that challenge toggled on then that character will need to live 24/7 under a TF they started solo so that the amplifiers would not run down. They never again team for whatever group activity because they would leave TF mode and the amplifiers would once again start ticking down.
I'm not going to say I can't see people doing that or having a dedicated alt for the effect, but since amplifiers don't run down while logged off a dedicated alt already achieves this by logging off.
My opinion is that leaving the prices as are while keeping the new code will not impact the economy negatively.

That's good enough for me. Thanks 🙂
I do think the whole thing needs at least reworking descriptively.
I'm having exactly the same issue with Destiny. The descriptions leave so many unanswered questions hanging there. With Destiny they all seem to be PBAoE +Ally. Does the caster get any benefit at all? Do pets benefit? There's a drop off in effect over time but how does that work in practice?
The short answer is :
- If you need a panic button OR 5% defense + resistance to complete a goal, then Barrier 120 seconds.
- If you have endurance or not enough recharge, then Ageless 120 seconds.
I realize this does not answer your question(s) but it's an obtuse system and I feel, IMO, after having looked and poked at it, that it's better to just ask which is best at what and then pick it without going deep into the mechanics.
Long answer:
- All the numbers stack. If you look at Mids or in game (you can right click the powers and then click on the Info tab) you'll see a row of 'Gives X for Y seconds'. They all stack together. But once the duration ends it removes itself. So in the case of Barrier it starts as a huge boost for the first ten seconds, then a bit less for the first 30 seconds. Then less until the first minute has passed. Then the last minute of the two minute duration it gives 5% to defense and resistances. Once the two minutes are over it can be used right away making for a permanent 5% to a build. It's usually used when you know there will be an ambush, or about to go fight an AV, or if you see your HP going down to the red and your heal was already used.

Forums have double XP going on. Already went from newbie to rookie.

I guess lowbies getting 8 hours of amps was too OP. Or something.

So, important question about the forums update:
Are there forum PvP badges?
They would have to rework the whole Forum PvP system since I got warnings (do those count as badges?) for 'attacking' other users.

I'm in the same boat, and I'm still mad that stalker hemorrhage was nerfed in the last page. I acknowledge that it was a bug, but it provides a real reason to play Savage.
A rare case of managing that a power is not taken on all ATs 😄

Not if you're fighting one or two enemies. But if you want to, sure, go for it. Other than that the S/L def&res is already balanced on the knife's edge and in exchange you lose E/N resist, which is what the build is lacking, recharge, -rech protection
