PVP is an entirely different beast, yes, however the vast vast majority of this topic is talking about PVE changes, since PVP ones can be made independently, and the team has shown they are in fact willing to do so.

People need to stop making things up. Or at least be more specific with which Psionic set you're talking about.

Bio Armor. So -regen/HP recovery and some other debuffage mixed in with good mitigaton. Psi Melee is fun, but it is not anywhere close to being a DPS frontrunner.

Yes, I have a Psi Melee stalker at 50+3. And, naturally, I am pretty sure I could solo the ITF on it, but it'd probably put up a time of 45 min - 1 hr versus my time of 20ish minutes on my TW/Rad scrapper.

No one is coming for Psi Melee. If anyone comes for it, it'll be to mark it as a candidate for some needed buffs.

I use TW/Fire for farming, personally. Spines is alot less involved, TW is more active, which I like. Good AoE damage, great ST to murder the bosses. Easy to fit in a few different -res procs ontop of it. I just personally don't find Spines terribly engaging, more power to the folks that do.

Ah, the two hours to fight a GM must've just included the time being the charmer that you are to form a team.

I think someone's just starting to make things up wholesale in the face of, you know, factual statements. Well, "starting to" might be a tad generous.

The only miserable person here seems to be you, mate.

People who don't want TW changing seem to demand numbers, but different, theoretical numbers pulled from the Cleft of Dimension, rather than the numbers they're being presented with. As someone with a few TW at 50, I can safely say that 1) they do deal an absurd amount of damage in comparison to other melee classes, and 2) if they were to suddenly deal less damage, it's still a fun set to play.

Well, your ideas seem to leave a lot to be desired, so, it's best I think we leave the "Balancing Incarnate content around Incarnate powers" argument for another thread.

War Mace doesn't need buffs, it's amazing, just not as amazing as TW.

That sounds like a reasonable thing to do for content in which Incarnates are available.

My dude. It is better than the tests you did.

The only finnicky part is that rolling your face on the keyboard as TW outdamages an optimized EM chain.

Yeah, playing outlier sets makes it hard to go back to other sets for some people. Not exactly surprising.

Does this AoE buff affect pool powers as well? Like, say, cross punch?

The slow but steady addition of Stuff and Things. IO Sets, Costume pieces, powersets, that sort of thing.

AFAIK, there's no reason for it to do so, as it's a useless stat on the power. Above: The ability with a training origin end mod slotted in. Increases the [ ] value by 9.2%. Below: The advanced description for Electron Shackles.

Sounds highly desirable.

Man, Trick Arrow needs some help, clearly.

Creating a whole new UI system for what is ultimately just storing text sounds like the sort of thing that'd take a faaair amount of time to me, honestly. Like... nothing is likely to trump the current macro system, I'll concede that. But, I like my valuable power bar real estate and never built macros for the hordes of bases I visit. I just store the base passes in a notepad++ file, alt+tab, snag what I need, and paste it in. You won't be able to do that when the slash command goes bye-bye, granted, but, clicking a base portal and hitting alt+tab copy alt+tab paste is a pretty easy solution that doesn't put the burden of developing a new system entirely on the developers. Not a good permanent solution, maybe, but, something that you'll be able to subsist on until something else is put in place. Edit: Or perhaps just e-mail yourself using the ingame e-mail? But the way text input works in this game is sorta weird and doesn't like copy/paste from the game itself sometimes, I find the text file way more beneficial, typically.

On a similar note, it'd be nice if the powers in Earth Control that can apply defense debuffs accepted defense debuff IOs.

That is part of what I had said, yes.
