Snarky

I said first thing respec. My ice/dark/dark corr had soul drain pbaoe changes to spirit drain ranged aoe. Plus, after a recent incarnate trial i wanted to move heavily into leadership toggles. I barely log in and there is a pug looking to try for the new LGTF badges. I join! I hit my base while leader recruits. I grab a mad handful of overwhelming force enhancers. Then log back to rwz2 and use enhancement unslotters to pull out the 5 pbaoe and slam in OF. The new LGTF setting is mad hard. And confusing. There were waves of team deaths. These were good players. We kept together and made the most of each sacrifice. Every mission is radically changed. New enemies new mechanics. Some of these folks, the leader especially, must have been running this on beta. The last fight was confusing, epic, grand. I was so lost if not incan’d to the right spot. We won, two badges. What a way to start! Then I did a major respec lol.

Well, they did warn you. But your recharge was so nerfed the message just reached you.

Mids used to allow two very good posts to the boards where you could eyeball sets. Then they decided not to support that any longer. Somehow, with a twenty year old game that has added a few sets and one AT, these folks have managed to slow Mids performance to a crawl and lose all export capacity. It is an epic fail.

Gravity is what is keeping you down man!

Just in time for a scheduled task about the crypt. 😆

in all serious i have a number of Blasters who never get CCd. never. But i have a very different play style and build approach. If you want a fire/fire/fire blaster more power to you. carry break frees and run leadership tactics. maybe rune of prot if you can fit it. I doubt you run the sets i run that are the most safe. Beam Rifle and Elec, both with Temp second and built for range. pure range. lot of range. i can post those builds, but the concept is... most enemies just mez those around them. or really even attack those around them. damn lazy.

here is a very old SS brute i still have set up it is so good Snarky - Brute (Super Strength).mxd

have you thought about Snarky in this damp old cave? just sayin'...

mom was the best.

they starting testing?

not entirely sure what you mean by that....

on my respec for the new version i will respec into leadership pool. there are two powers i could drop and not even notice and my end bar has never been an issue.

this is where you start to lose my interest....

you seriously overestimate the time i spend coding... can i haz urs?

so tempted to continue to do this after you end it now. on a throway alt acct....of course. me so smartz

last days get yours now

did you send an email to @yomo for 100 mill? still about another week on his giveaway.... i will bump his thread near top of general

i stopped opening the fridge. should never have invited that CoT mage over to help me with a spell.

Oranbega? Love to hate it, hate to love it. It is part of the lore now. Even reinvented on new everything they should keep all the old floor plans. The blue cave maps. ehhh... a hole is a hole. The pancake room sucks, the fly in a semi circle to thread the needle and find the tunnel to the next section lol? priceless. You could redo every real cave map in CoH and we would complain still. About losing what we had, the difficulty of the new stuff. the easiness of the new stuff. the color. the smell...

nuthin'

I use Rune on my resist heavy Brutes and Tanks like Dark Armor and sometimes Invul. Since (for me after Aeon discussions) learning Resistance is in fact "Resistance value debuff resistance" awkward and simplistic both. Whereas Defense gets Def Debuff Resistance thru various powers...Resistance just is it's own res debuff res. And that means if you go PAST hard cap to 100% your resistance cannot be debuffed. Except it is CoH and there are just a tiny tiny number of enemies who have unresistable resistance debuff. One is an odd Longbow Warden you meet randomly 1/1000 times. LB Wardens are odd. But basically in fights where people are slinging res debuffs (hey Brickers!) you pop Rune to shore up what you got from the coming storm. Or eat an Orange. And if you run Res heavy armors monitor those values friends. They do not clean the floors in Paragon.

Blueside suffers from this a bit. Redside... There isa rhythm. Load in a pug group of 8 intrepid souls on a Redside paper or story arc mission level 15 - 25. Set at +0. No 50s, just organic team in that level range. Almost always, Redside, one of your toughest fights will be right near the front door. Judge everything about the mission/setting based on how your team does in that fight against THOSE foes. But Redside was always pretty good for organic teams. Foes were hard. F-ing Longbow? Arachnos with its wackiness? Then later Carnies and do not get me started on CoT. But you could almost always tell right at the first fight Red. Now Gold....no idea. wackadoo land there with missions self screwing themselves with glowies activating things that you run back to the front door to interact with, although there is no indication of that.

I keep one storage rack for insp, one gor salavage, then the max left over 16? 14? For enhancements. Mostly sorted by type. Now i have 20-30 50s fully kitted out. One reason i do not shatter them for parts is no place for the parts to go. I went through yesterday and found 65 empyrean merits on a back page 50 i thought was stripped. Plus, as i searched through 30-40 toons about 20 purples and hamis and another 17 recipes for purples and pvps. I need to actually go through all of them but it would take a whole day.
