Snarky

I generally use a Brute (done a few times live every story arc and mission redside) and currently on a Tanker my strategy is not to stealth the missions so much as to fly through And ignore the damage. It is a little miserable on the kill alls where i wish for a scrapper i have never run a Stalker. Maybe a day. But i have read a little on the subject and listened to the changes and opinions so in a tight group Boss Lt one or two minions you will not be able to kill the Boss with AS. So you kill the Lt and mebbe a minIon then go hide. Then you come back and ruin the bosses say. That is what i hear since the changes you Should be operating closer to Scrapper tactics in a very large spawn. Able to do sustained melee without having to go through running hiding stealthing swoop back in fight 20secs run hide etc. As i understand it the build was changed to have a different gear for ling extended combats. Since we do a lot if that gl

I am so picky. I have a difficult time with certain elements being heroic. Energy. Check. Electric. Meh. Ice sometimes. Fire - firefist!!! Water- water? I love energy. Can work that 10 different concepts in my sleep. Uilt for blapping. Water. Put on college hat. Study. Theorize. Hmmmm. Still working on it. Seems—- dry

The problem with this is you do not see the SG char of your coalies. Only Coal-chat. I have longed for a multiple SG for each character forever. It is all over the source lore. How many teams has that one guy been on. The guy with a pair of smooth criminals whise name rhymes with Pulverine? of course it is probably hard coded and baked down to one SG. Unless they could tweak Coalition chat to hear all SG chat in everyone you are allied with

Sigh. With a pure ranged build my options are very few. Ice/ice or ice/time? Not super fond of guns or bows

The best place to search for this is the ritki pylon threads. Pre nerf bat on live the Brutes were beating the Scrappers. After the nerf and subsequent tweaks Scrappers were ahead. Sigh as it should be Farm data threads can be useful as well although that can be affected by armor and survivabilty when here we are talking straight damage output

Still looking for my ranged build. I have only 50’d a few blasters and my only incarnate was an energy energy back on live i take zero melee on Blasters. If i want to Blap i will Brute. Just easier by far for me i am taking stealth invisibilty and hover. Am looking at Teleportation set. And possibly the 30sec insubstantial power in invisibility. Really want a powerful sneaky guy. Fast and efficient. But built as a team character. Not support. Just a character that works best with 7 meat shields around. So mostly task forces etc obviously looking at softcapping ranged defense how effective is the tier 1 time power? It Debuffs does no damage and the range is a little short. Its one of the 3 that work while mezzed. Thats all i know what other power sets should i look at. Hasten? Force of will? Etc

In the build Hyperstrike wrote for Invul DM it has a global +Per rectified reticle. To me i would pit in a + ACC Kismet. My thinking is DM needs the accuracy for it’s targeted PBAoE combat buff and targeted PBAoE endurance replenishment powers can someone help me understand the differences and benefits between these two procs and why + perception would be better here? thanks

I watched the reports on server populations this weekend a bit. Couple things stood out. 1) we are not a big community lol. 2) Everlasting, while not the most populated has slightly more redside players than any other server usually. maybe this is due to RP. Redside for me is the most convincing and immersive storyline i mean sure you can join Twinshot and the gang of wannabe Freedom Phalanx. Or you can roll up a criminal mutant alien demon freak and start smacking people down for cash with every door mission and contact dovetailing into a perfect storyline of chaos for cash and power.

Soooo. I use a private base. All my characters are in the SG. I know this does not work for more social peeps but it sol es my problems the base can hold 18 storage devices. Salvage inspirations and enhancers. Each holds 100. Your choice of what 18 base building is free on Homecoming. I put in TP to all zones. Inspiration sellers. Enhancer sellers (standard DO SO) crafting stations mission computers llar if ice and fire mini Ouroboros merit atm etc. it is convenient

Yeah. Agree. The NPCs movements are infuriating. Everybody running around like they have to pee. The dialogue is bland the first time. The 14th.... oof. Painful. The peemise had promise. The execution? Springtime for Hitler it wasnt

With incarnate powers you can heal/buff/ etc. so that solves most of those issues. It might take a while but that is badging isnt it i am running my first ‘badger’. Just started. Its a Tank. I doubt i will get close to all badges. My goal is the 1500 range. I have 200 but i just started him a couple weeks ago and i am slow leveling him for story arcs. Just cruise control gaming

So in Help channel last night someone asked about the badge for completing a TF with all different ATs. i put up a reply that while never running a badger i had never heard of it response: it exists i was like yeah but i never seen anyone advertise for it. Ever reaponse: it exists. You get it organically. Just happens i was like. I never got it. Ever. On any character response: it exists i stopped replying. Efore we started talking about the Chupacabra badge

I am still confused. But i dont want to ask anymore questions. This tooic makes my head hurt

I tend to alt. So i run a lot of below 40 characters. I tend to only jump on my 50 for 1) merit earning 2) helping someone 3) if i am faceplanting on a team and want to beat the crap outta whatver is smacking me so after a little (lot) of help from the boards here i have worked out a strategy that is making more than my previous strategy. Which was earn merits and use those to get converters and drop those on the market a hundred at a time now i take my orange recipe drops and use my converters to roll those to something profitable. Generally this makes a little more than my old strategy and sometimes a lot more. i Want to thank everyone for their help. I can see that i may be able to outfit a couple builds in a reasonable amount if time

Yeah. I made the mistake of following the Tank possible mods too closely. By that i mean i asked a question. I will wait until it is live. I want nothing more to do with the topic and any possibilities

If you are on Everlasting i will PL you. I dont have a great farm character but my main can run the rainbow fully cranked no sweat. Just kills a little slower than a rad/fire. (Ss/invul). In game all my characters start with Snark. So team search for that and send a tell. Snarky. snarkrot snarkbot snarkdoom etc

The responses in here are pretty smart and accurate one thing i want to add is context. It was not always this way. It was changed specifically to make the common 70-80% the natural operating range. The 70-80% is a number i have done zero research on. Just playing Brutes it looks like that is where it hovers in heavy fighting why was it changed? Because Brutes were out-damaging Scrappers. With better armor and health. so if you rolled a scrapper it was for concept or choices not available for Brutes. Not for bring ‘the most effective”. Because Brutes was better. In every way soooooo. The nerf bat swung hard. I play almost all Brutes. I dislike any nerf but i fully agree with this one. Bonus points. They got the math just about perfect and everyone is happy again well. Except can we get it removed? I wont abuse it i swear

I did the first one on my “Arc-er”. Um. Storyerer? Quester? Noooo anyways on the character i am doing everything Redside on. first time i ever did it. It was a little meh honestly. I thought it was going to be filled with odd mechanics like itrials and i was going to flail. It was 3 radio missions with a LOT of npc dialogue. Hopefully there are no oddities i. The later ones i have to research to complete

Okay so Sunday i was on a new alt and did not quit a Posi 1. Although by the end i think everyone on the team prob wished i had. Re-using the name Snarkbone for a new zombie Savage Will Brute. Scrapperlocking with no armor to speak of. It was brutal. the first team wipe. Not my fault. Someone did the doorstep thing. Second wipe. Half my fault. I charged one if the two inside groups. Did not coordinate or anything. Someone pulled the second group. My armor folded like a taco third team wipe was my fault. The doppelgangers and i thought i ate enough inspiration efore jumping in. I was wrong but the fourth attempt we pished through. 1 hour. Happiness. Sadness. And scene

I started a Energy Melee Willpower Brute just because I like it. It fits my concept and i enjoy the powersets animations and ease of use Easy mode is what i want as this toon will be running weekly strike forces for merits i may or may not fully i/o him. I had a ton of useful stuff laying around so i started slapping that on semi randomly. Definitely not optimal. Definitely tons of fun if i was going to build it would be to Barely softcap s/l and then concentrate on healing. Increasing health. And then damage. No recharge. The build just doesnt really benefit from it much.

Things are going well on the Story Arc strategy. Really enjoying the build even at low levels. Level 19 183 badges 36 souvenirs and 458 merits. I am doing Hero TFs for badges and merits but just once. I might repeat a few i like later but Posi and Synapse. No thanks. Just turned on exp and will be cranking 19-24 then turning off again to do all content. Time to jump to Shark one question on the Hyperstrike build above. There is a rectified reticle proc in Invincibility. Why is that better than a Kisnet ACC global? Dark Melee feeds off Acc for heals PBaoe buff and PBaoe end restoration thanks

I can think of exactly one example. You are in an ITF. Running through the 5 generals mission. you leapfrog the team to gather agro at the next General. He is surrounded by 20 surgeons. Grind. To. A. Halt scatter that group. But really far or they still heal. no. Even then smart move is on judgement footstomp and anything to knock them down fast. It would just be nice if we could knock them all to the next map there is no regular combat situation that is better knocking targets everywhere

Thanks folks. Looks like this was way more complex than i had believed. I had thought they were increasing rankers base damage modidier slightly and increasing AoE footprints. Then testing that it appears it is in fact a can of worms. I dislike worms. I am rolling through Redside on a Dark/Invul Tank doing all story arcs and side missions until contacts wont even talk to me. And thats how i like it heh. I will put this down as possible for a future tank but not probable at thos juncture I am going slow. Not that slow

Just wanted to take a minute and be grateful i have gnarly 50 i can rip around incarnate trials and level 50 task forces. Special thanks to Hyperstrike there. i have started and deleted dozens of characters and builds having great fun with costumes and powersets i have a handful of 50s i have started and quit trying to solo blueside two times. I am on my second attempt at soloing redside and i have as much energy for it as i finish 15-19 content as when i started. Going to be a winner i am hoarding enhancers and salvage and burning through cash on the market to get the toys i join in with PUG TF allatime and am usually helpful if sometimes Snarky i have my world back thank you. Happy Holidays

Sooo. I been thinking about this response. I appreciate the input what does that mean. ( do not explain what a test server and a patch is, i’m the Snarky one here) seriously though is this the last step before it goes live and that will happen in a week or two. Or is this part of the development process and uploading to live is months away. the data is nice. It just means nothing to me
