Trip mine in Traps should definitely get the treatment Trip mine received in Device. Time Bomb on all fronts should be fixed.. I tried it out on my Assault Bot on Mastermind and it SUCKED.. BIG TIME !.. I posted about this a long while back. I think I was trying it on gray con mobs in Atlas and I was MISSING repeatedly.. But unfortunately I am one of those players that slots for recharge as well so I can get up double triage for 40 seconds. I am thinking making it moveable, which I like would hurt me though. Unless they split the nickel and increased the regen or something to make up for it. Or make this the option B power, at that level you can pick old school triage beacon or new school triage beacon. I believe alternate powers would spice up the game as well.

Look every suggestion doesn't have to super polished and beta tested out of the box on a private server. A suggest neither implies that it must be done, even if 1000 players agree with the suggestion. Let also add for analogy. I work in a corporate environment under cyber security and threat intelligence. The company has been around for over 100 years. There are different people working much longer in certain divisions like Networking, Exchange, Servers. I have also dealt with NUMEROUS outside breaches from third parties. I cannot tell you how many times we might say some common sense simple question and get back answers that no one has thought about addressing. Or a question sparks an idea or improvement that might already was in the start of being implemented but now has to be changed because someone just brought up an idea too good not to be dismissed. Mind you in these corporate places the It budget is within the 100s of millions. With 100s of people around the world. This is free to play, ask for donations monthly to cover the bills, staffed by a hand full of volunteers doing this on their spare time, if not full time 2nd job almost. I doubt they have the cycles to also sit around and think of ideas and improvements. But they can sure read what others bring to the table and read how other re-developed the idea/suggestion.

Maybe not disabling allows the team to take on the extra fight. Players options.

I take it as a derogatory No

Just wondering if I could just use Ageless to cancel out the Crash Force of Nature imposes.

Just wondering if anyone has a clue. I updated MIDS because it wasn't auto updating but now the center wheel will not add IOs automagically like it used to. Anyone have a clue how to fix ?

Not my intentions at all. I think it is just me not being happy with 43% in Range defense. Always looking to squeak out some extra points here and there. Some builds can take a few weeks to a month. Sometime I see something on the forums months later and I realize I can be incorporating that into my build as well. It is just how I am.

Looking at your video I can see you where holding him.. That is big.. Every time he is held, he is not putting out DPS.. Working on other builds now.. I am thinking Necro Trick Arrow. I did see you brought out your pet at one point as well.

To be clear this is for a Petless or Semi-Petless ( last pet only ) Mastermind build. So if you are looking to break balls about it just move on and save the drama for your moma.. Looking for help on DPS numbers. I have many Whips/Kin/Trap/Dark/Storm/Trick Arrow, Robot/Traps, Various Primary with Trick Arrow builds. Now I know many have decent debuffs but my Goal is to run a 8/1 ITF with no deaths. The problem is DPS output. They all can do 8/3 or even 8/4 settings on missions solo. I have tried doing it but ended in a stalemate on the 3rd mission with the computer, Stop Romulus. I just didn't have enough DPS output to kill his regeneration. I just was looking at this dominator post by Voltak: Voltak shared some numbers and defense wise and resistance wise they are comparable to mine. Being Dark Dark, he does have a bunch of debuffs. But again so do I depending on the build. So I have that covered. Voltak mentioned that Longbow pet helped him out very much. So I can follow the same route. BUT my big issue. Is trying to determine DPS output on a build without doing a pylon test.. I am trying to narrow down to a few builds and then maybe test it out. I have been just adding up the dps on attacks. Not counting boxing or kick or a power with a proc in it. EG acid arrow for example with a single proc. I also just was doing the Heather Townshend arc (Burden of the Past) and noticed that my Whips Kin could not put out enough DPS to kill the last mobs in 90s.. Which I thought was interesting and a decent test.. I know my Whip/Traps or Whips/ Trick Arrow can.. Incarnate I am thinking Agility if I have to for endurance reasons, otherwise Musculature for DPS increase. Judgement would be Ion for the hold. I am thinking stacking holds ,when possible. Degenerative for the hp debuff proc.. less hp to deal with. Ageless for endurance and recharge and recovery. Lore would be of course Longbow for the Cataphract and the -500 regen debuff. Hybrid - Bit torn.. So I see it doable.. But I need to understand how to determine DPS much better.

Not really true.. You can google several articles about random functions literally being broken..

I am pretty sure Mastermind EMP is broken as well

I really don't think the code to make it random is really exact.. The same for the 20 year old random function.

I don't want to take over the thread with my nonsense. 3 whip attacks, Trick Arrow minus ice arrow. unfortunately Only Oil slick is fully slotted everything else is one slotted with some sort of proc Full fighting pool. Mu mastery excluding shackles. 6 slotted Defenses 45 Melee, 45 range, 41 energy, 41 negative. Resistance S/L 75% This is why I asked his defense and resistance numbers.. I am trying to see how we compare. The thing is he has a solid hold.. I can see in the video he was holding the AV.. Mine would be a full on fight.. I have gotten as far as the 3rd mission with the computer.. But after 30 minutes of fighting I gave up.. I couldn't beat him down fast enough.. I have a bunch of different builds.. I need to see which primary and secondary would bring the most debuffs and of course DPS.

Wow.. Thank you very much.. Really appreciated.. I know being Dark Dom you had some hit debuff as well but this and the Lore pet info is very helpful to me in my quest.

Posted in your original thread.. But will ask here as well.. What was your defenses and resistance number if I can ask.

No I know thematically it sounds good. But Long Range Missile is not good.

I think Acid Arrow has the formula.. Just need to figure out the variables..

Trying to figure out the Toxic damage for Corrosive vial.. Was looking at city of data as well. Just don't have a clue how to piece all of this together to edit the database

Your Defenses and resistance numbers ?

I think you will get a lot of push back on this. But I get it. I think it starts to become you want a free fly power that is more customizable.

Well if they could allow you to get that Vanguard HVAS with INF during the the TF that is right by the Hami entrance that would clear up pretty much everything..

Same here..

You can't talk to a trainer once in TF mode.

Two questions Do you need vanguard merits Can you purchase while in TF mode ?
