Pulling "source: Bro, trust me," then demanding someone else provide proof beyond you taking a patch note incorrectly is pretty good.

Did a 4* Lady Grey, had a good time.

Can confirm, 4* team got the diversity bonus on accident. Dang, it's like it was a perfectly fine mechanic in its initial phase. Ah well, badge get.

They're just badges, it's fine. People'll are gonna get one of them accidentally go, "huh, neat," and then keep on moving.

Clarity is already the set's T8 power. Agreed on repulsion, power has just active anti-synergy with the rest of the set. Sonic Cage's intangibility also has niche uses that are largely out of practice nowadays due to build availability. Sonic Siphon wouldn't be so bad if it didn't take a half hour to cast.

This is going to encourage bad behavior. I don't have any proof of this, but it's a hunch and I think we should act on it supremely, decisively, and immediately, by reinstating the aether bonus concept, thank you. Your thumbs down mean nothing, I've seen what you approve of.

Yeah okay badges sure neat I guess. I'll get them once and then totally forget about them? I dunno what to say about this for feedback.

hell yeah i'd love it

I dunno about that, I'm in there and I yell about shit all the time

Important news flash: Any equivalent term to "wet" is definitely being used in current practice in the same manner as you would use "wet".

I fucking LOVE the idea of power combos, I'm just not really sure this is the place to set it up. Edit: Mostly because, well. Gesturing vaguely at response to it here, where it's not "cool! combos!" but "why isn't this just base kit" which, y'know, can't fault.

Wild to see folks hatin' on buckshot, it's insanely good.

They don't have to, the news was advertisement enough. There's been a lot of new players who need some walking through the general game concepts and returning players trying to get their legs back underneath them on teams I've been on for the past week.

This is not coming from the point of "an average player," this is coming from a point of "we're all tricked out and playing our faves".

That data is actually explicitly how the game works.

377 x 2s being huge support is maybe sort of not really a thing, no.

Damage, because corruptors get the double damage rate up when the enemy is below half health and their primary power ability is a blast set. I could tell you about a class that has a stun in almost every ability, a fear aura, and epic pool with further chances to stun. Spoilers it's still a Tanker e:BRUTE, because the primary is Energy Melee, secondary Dark Armor, epic Earth Mastery and the other incidental stuns are just that, incidental. No one is relying on their tanks to do all the mezzing. Going "uhhh, excuse me, what about this one ability" doesn't change that.

Sitting back and buffing someone as a peacebringer is really just putting a power on autofire and doing nothing while you go to the bathroom because you just have glowing touch. Photon Seekers if you want to lie to yourself and put that on the pile. There's no RPG trinity system in any point of this conversation. It'd be more of a quintipartite, but, I digress.

Hi, fellow defender soloist of +4/x8 ITF, yes, it is infact, still support.

I think you're wildly over-estimating how many different web animations are in the game. Also wildly underselling how many people wanted gadget/weaponry related control sets since live. Web'd mostly be related to maces. Unfortunately I don't think it's enough to make two entire powersets enter the copyright infringement verse, but, that's unrelated to the topic at hand. I can use Dark Servant to absorb an alpha strike, this does not make it a tank. Scrappers can get Moonbeam, this does not make them a ranged damage archetype. So on and so forth.

Set just doesn't feel great. Can do +4/x8 but it's a bit of a slog (tried Arsenal/TA Controller and Arsenal/Arsenal dom) but, y'know. I'm not sure where the devs necessarily want Controllers and Doms to be, either? Should those classes be able to handle new Council at that level? Should they not? Is it okay for the average player to do this. or should it only be top-end players? The main thing I can say is it just feels like a grab bag of disjointed pieces. We can sleep but if we do we have a rapid fire chaingun waiting behind us to immediately light up anyone who dozes off. Also the -ToHit with +confuse, and, just... eh. I mean, a player can make it work, yeah, but, it doesn't feel great regardless.

Turning the difficulty from +4/x8 to +3/x8 is asking a lot, yeah.

knockback is good and it is my friend

Okay but I suspect it won't.

because one of the first posts was someone being an absolutely perpetually online weirdo about the usage of the term "diversity" if I had to guess
