UltraAlt Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Okay, so this is kind of a surface dive. I haven't explored the IO sets. Basic SO and Basic IOs seem to default to the mentality of "the best defense is a good offense". I would call this the attack, offensive, or damage (default mode in DCUO) option. This, for sure, is a good starting place. Many players just want to "Hulk smash!"/max damage. I understand that entirely. It would be good to have a couple more options. One that is more based on defense/control and one based on reducing endurance consumption/constitution? defense/control example 1 - after the first two accuracies, hold, immobilize, debuff, slow, etc until all these types are covered by one slot each. defense/control example 2 - if a power has multiple effects, don't double up on one, place one of each type before putting in a 2nd of the same kind. [Shinobi has to-hit and defense options - instead of double slotting the to-hit in this mode, the selection would be to-hit and then a defense before slotting a second to-hit] reducing endurance consumption/constitution? example - after the first two accuracies (if applicable), any power that costs over 10 end or 0.52/sec gets and end reducer before a damage enhancement. The two of these could be combined together (instead of being attack/damage focused) and that tends to be how I set stuff up to insure that I can continue fighting during a prolonged battle. If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.
