Well I never. Now I know. Thanks.

Is this a bug I just witnessed in Ouro? (server is Excelsior)

OK appreciate the feedback. I'm not a min/maxer but I definitely like my toons to perform well. I've been trying to put off diving too deep in to Mids. I guess I will have to.

Can a solid Scrapper Mids build be used as the template for a Brute build with exactly the same primary/secondary?

Ah got it. It is indeed the Archetype Origin Enhancements, such as Ascendancy of the Dominator or Defender's Bastion which have a minimum level requirement of level 10.

No it was definitely a level 22. Here's another on a level 39.

Interesting. Thank you.

I saw a level 22 Corruptor with "Gargantuan Improved Recharge Time Bonus". Anyone tell me what gives this? It certainly isn't LotG's

Thanks guys. Appreciate the feedback!

'Power Boost' ?

Can someone tell me what archetype/powerset/power provide the highest +Def buff to an ally? (not a self buff but one you can give to a teammate) I was thinking Electrical Affinity's Faraday Cage might be up there but its a static location buff and I was thinking more along the lines of a buff that an ally can receive and still move about freely.

Turns out I wasn't using Rage. I kept forgetting about it and didn't realize how useful it was. Thanks for the heads up.

Very much appreciate the reply and as I didn't know your in-game @name or forum name I hope calling you NUTCRCKR was alright lol. I ended up studying your build in a lot more detail after posting and decided to build it! Took me over 3 hours if I am honest and almost 600 mil inf. As a personal preference I chose to veer away from Char and Molten Armor (even though I know how good Molten Armor is) and instead went with Focused Accuracy and Physical Perfection. I put Power Transfer: Chance to Heal Self in to single slotted Physical Perfection and in two-slotted stamina I used Performance Shifter +End and IO:End Mod+4 I ran about a dozen PI 54 Radios and my health didn't budge at all which was amazing (to me) and Endurance was no issue at all. I had some Endurance loss fighting some Malta and during a prolonged fight with Scirroco but otherwise the build was rock solid. I am very happy with it and I must compliment you on it.

LoL. I left the game for almost 3 years, came back recently and its like I missed the 'big giveaway' or some such. I am not account rich on influence so have to pick and choose my way through. I have a farmer but I noticed that the inf gain (and xp) since I last used him 3 years ago has been dramatically nerfed so I guess there are other canny ways to earn money these days. I just don't know what they are. I love the honesty!

Does anyone have any alternative end-game builds for Invul that differ from the one made by NUTCRCKR (provided below) For a start I want to use Punch and not Jab as he has done (unless someone can tell me why Jab works better?) but also there are two factors that leave me a little reticent to commit to NUTCRCKR's build. i) Global Recharge. Not sure that the build offers enough to keep Foot Stomp up as often as possible but I am not a min/maxer-theory-crafter so not sure how to measure this. I think I am reading it correctly that the attached build has a 5.16 second recharge for Foot Stomp (presumably with Hasten active). Can it be reduced further I wonder? ii) Playing from level 24 to level 50 two things I noticed about my build using basic IO's were that I was struggling with endurance and had to keep stocked up on Recovery Serum and later also take Conserver Power from Energy Mastery EPP. Secondly was accuracy, I found I would miss on attacks occasionally and also ended up taking Focused Accuracy which is a massive end hog. Any tips from Invul enthusiasts with end-game builds appreciated. Invul-SS.mxd

That's an expensive build. I noticed +5 on set IO's. I didn't even know you combine Set IO's?

Interesting. Is Overgrowth perma on your build?

That makes sense re: Bloom. Thank you. Yeah I understand ED and usually slot appropriately. At the lower levels, when I have extra slots to assign I'll typically slap an extra one in Stamina even though the gain is marginal.

Excellent feedback and I appreciate the lengths you went to explain things power by power with examples of how they might be slotted. This is a huge help for someone like me that cannot get their head around theory-crafting and the math behind it or min/maxing without a template to work from. The only thing I still don't get with this powerset is the stacks of bloom. I really have no idea what the point of them is.

Would someone be kind enough to post a screenshot (full mids build nice but not necessary) of their fully slotted Nature Affinity secondary? Also any tips on how to play it well in a fast moving group. I am struggling to make the best of this powerset, the heals seem weak at my level (imo) and I'd be interested to see what others feel makes this a good secondary. Also, I am finding it is very endurance hungry and that's with 4 slotted stamina (current toon level is 33)

Well I did as you suggested and, ironically, it was the last thing I decided to change (naturally) and it appears to have fixed the issue. I have been running the game at a Refresh Rate of 165 in line with my monitors' refresh rate. After reducing the Refresh Rate to 120, the problem seems to have gone away. In all other respects the graphics 'appear' to be the same. Thanks for the suggestion! Edit: Actually no. The problem manifested itself again although not as prevalent as before. Still, some improvement is better than no improvement.

Exactly that! Except in my case, entirely only when I use a travel power.

Issue Since returning to the game recently, I have had to systematically turn off the Power Popup Tray with Null the Gull on every single character because if I do not, it activates and slides up normally when using a travel power but then takes an eternity to slide back down once the travel power is toggled off at a rate of what looks like 1 pixel per second. My PC is a high-end gaming rig running an NVidia RTX 4090 running the latest drivers so its not an issue of performance on my end. The game is utilizing the NVidia card and not the on-board intel graphics. Any insight gratefully received. p.s. Game graphics and effects are maxed out and everything runs flawlessly. Only issue experienced is this popup tray.
