Is there a place where good builds have been saved to a central location?

Has anyone taken a crack at this combo? Touch of Fear seems to be pretty nice now, doing good AOE damage, and I have only found old builds so far in my search that skips the old version of the power. I was initially thinking of trying out Fold Space for tanking but I've been talked out of it. I would appreciate it if you have the chance - I have one that just hit 40 and I should start looking into what I should be saving up for.

Yeah, a few of us were trying to explain just how tough an SR tanker can be in that one thread, which I assumed inspired the first post

Great work gang, hope you can get it back to normal once things are sorted. For now, on to doing some respecs after offering my respects!

Not really, everyone has been exposed to this level of power for years already at this point. I mean, there isn't any new realities we need to face that we haven't already for years.

More creep was planned, we were only going to get more powerful, by design, intentionally. ...granted new challenges were planned for that increase of course.

Always thought MA was a bit high on endurance usage and could really use another AOE. I kind of hope one of the attacks gets turned into an AOE in fact. Wasn't there talk of changing Eagle's Claw or something?

Would be interested in what you think of it once you get it up there

I thought it was a fluke. Interesting. We should continue to investigate.

Is this the same provider that gave Ascension so much crap?

If regen ever gets reworked, I hope it gains recharge debuff resist. You'd think lore-wise your metabolism is going at a ridiculous rate and recharge debuffs should be shrugged off fairly well, yet it's the set's main weakness.

How often has identical builds fought each other at all, let alone with an experience disparity though? Enjoy the testing. I think I will continue to avoid dice-based PvP personally and scratch my PvP itch in the FPS and Fighting genres as some examples instead. I don't want to influence development where I lack experience. What I said wasn't 'an almost entirely incorrect assessment' which is what I was responding to, that's all. 🙂

Yeah I was asking Macskull after he said that's incorrect. Glad to hear I wasn't!

Yes. ...and the build part is what I referenced, it's getting favorable dice rolls. That blast will follow you around corners no matter how fast of a reaction you have, because the dice said so, that kind of thing.

Yes autohit cheats do suck. One other that came to mind is one portion of one of the iTrials, I think the underground or whatever it is called, where the floor just keeps draining you as you walk down the hallways. Thankfully I don't think there are many development cheats like that in the game.

I don't remember when it changed, but was this prior to Rune's nerf?

If you are telling me that this game's PvP doesn't use dice rolls for calculating actual combat please give me details

Can I see one of your SR builds that you like?

Stone Melee? ...also, it's weird that armor damage auras on scrappers are the worst version for the melee ATs. Tankers have larger AOEs, brutes get higher damage ticks due to fury. Scrappers do not get crits on their damage auras.

Primary auras, true, you are right. There's two I think. Spines and Radiation Melee

Yeah I've brought that up recently; it seems unfair that scrappers get the least out of damage auras or basically secondaries when it comes to the main melee ATs. Brutes get higher damage from fury, tankers get larger AOE. Scrappers get no crits apparently, which seems contrary to their gimmick and thus get the least out of those types of secondary powers. Seems wrong.

I do test and give feedback; I just think if there is a bunch of PvP changes to test I shouldn't get involved. Dice roll PvP where it's more about getting favorable rolls than actual skill/reflexes has never appealed to me (well, most of us it looks like.) I don't want my limited experience to influence things that others care more about - isn't that the smart thing to do? Do the PvP players want PvE only players to help change the PvP?
