Counter-Rant: I have walked into the harsh sun of the Suggestion Forum. And did not sparkle, but burst into spectacular flames. 🔥 First, I now ignore nearly all feedback in suggestions. Or, more accurately, take each subsequent post as a separate “suggestion” the poster was not brave enough to start their own thread with. There are some exceptions for really thoughtful and on point responses. Opinions vary though, yours will be different than mine. Second, the Forum Devs do a good job of trying to keep everything sorted. They read most everything. Do you have a genius game changing realization like, I don’t know, Arcana? Probably will get acted on. Do you have the ten thousandth suggestion about knockback? 🤔 Hmmm… Lastly, this is an excellent place to get feedback from the community on topics. We have some laughs. We poke over things. The Devs are doing the hard work. But we are the crew schlepping thru the content and finding things. The game code is huge, the Dev time is small, and without the audience the show would not mean as much. Enjoy the show.

…. Yes. And i answered it. Dark uses both to hit debuffs, stun effect, and fear effect to mitigate incoming damage. Adding to hit debuff to a stun aura increases the overall effectiveness of your to hit debuffs on opponents

Because it is not how the sets play. Dark dark dark has a PBAoE nuke. So the fear cone, ranged aoe stun, come in as you tar patch and spirit drain, NUKE. Now. Leave. Now, for AoE you have 4 cones until your nuke recharges. So joust out and hose the crowd. This is where the +range works best The non stop to hit debuff (starting with fear cone…) helps keep you from getting attacked. Absolute Amazement has great set bonuses for 5 pieces. The ToHit debuff proc meshes perfectly with Dark. You are not Fire Blasting. You need the stuns and to hit debuffs. You are choking the life out of your opponents. The debuff toggle works great against hard targets. When using that i slap it on right after fear cone, which is my lead attack unless sniping.

at level 44 i have two SO Accuracy in it. I have run it with Absolute Amazement 5 slotted at 50, on high rech/high acc/high range build. THese things all work great for dark. I have just been running through some Knives missions, and a bunch of other stuff. The Stun works, long enough. I just need to get in to do my Nuke after all.

this is extremely abusable. do you limit it on instance maps? yes, it is a QoL improvement. a huge one. is it necessary? does it make things more fun? or just easier? and, again, ripe for gaming abuse. have you seen the freaks and what they do?

Here is one of my oil paintings….

Not lying, I have tanked a +4 ITF with that Fire Blaster for a squishy team. And when i started rambling in Discord and did not stay with the team they had deaths and problems. So I focused back in for the rest of the ITF. No more problems. It is insane how much damage it does and how much trash disappears dropping non stop fat and heavy kill zones of fire everywhere.

Just love that you say yellow instead of gold…

what? level ?-50 contacts not being unlockable at 50? i misread that. okay. i am doing those two at 44 out of satey. only two in game with that range i just went into full geek lock OCD cramps lol

they can never take away the simple pleasures...

On my Dark Dark Corruptor now. I have two, one I speed levelled and have run for 120 vet levels. One I have been running since March doing every Contact red/blue/gold every mission. Now 44. You gave a one sentence roll off on Dark. Fair enough, you are not wrong. Here is what you missed. I take all ST attacks in Dark Blast. This gives a solid attack chain for hard targets in all situations. The use of a targeted toggle to hit/damage debuff is very good against hard targets. When dealing with large mobs I come in hard. Fearsome Stare. Then I throw Dark Pit, Targeted AoE Disorient (mag 2), then I step into the middle of my new friends. Running my Oppressive Gloom AoE Disorient (mag 2) toggle. (stacking and very important in this time) Then I drop Tar Patch at my feet. Spirit Drain for a nice build up, Then Blackstar. Now I joust out to a nice corner. I have Fear cone, damage cone, immob cone, and Knockdown cone. Most with damage, most with to hit debuffs. I run +range out the yazoo. Those cones are mostly fat and wide and long. keep targeting things center mass and spraying. Non suppressing stealth, a ST heal for myself and an AoE Heal that is a to hit/dam debuff. Then a Rez that will yoink a whole league back onto its feet, while slapping -500% regen on the target. Oh, and a self Rez. (with a mag 10 stun...) Triple Dark. Or, as you say, "Cool set thematically with cool attacks and customization. No Target or Location damage AOE's, all cones so you need to play just outside the pack. -Hit is good early/mid but falls off later. Damage is workable but not the best, also PBAOE T9. Give it some damage!" I guess opinions vary. But I find either solo or on a team I always have an easy to choose tool for getting something done NOW.

Perfect thanks. I guess another few days at 44 lol. I still need to do Red 40-44, then Tina and Angus. Then one weird contact that tops at 49. Then, finally, 50 this very long run.

I have never been on beta lol

These two are listed as 40-45 in the wiki. I do not normally run blue. I asked this in general and got what looked like best guesses Does anyone know FOR SURE the level ranges on these two are 40-45?

This theme is a lot of fun. We been running two full teams. A lot of trollers. I am on a Ele/Ele Tank. A few other random ATs. Think we are mostly mid 20s after two gaming sessions.

We should solve this now. Snarky for Mayor! Please donate to the election fund @Snarky Together we can win this 😁

I have become… META!

These two goons? BAB has an inside joke in Pocket D about getting hammered and killing somebody. Blue Steel, isn’t he the one that beat some civilian mostly to death and basically created Clockwork King? And speaking of creepy, I know Clockwork King is a villain, …. But the obsession with an underage girl and the dialogue? I call this guy RoboChoMo.
