Focused Feedback: Power Changes (Release Candidates)

Also the implication that Spirit Ward is half as useless as, say, Boxing or Kick is incorrect. Not only is it a decent power, but it’s a free extra enhancement slot via muling Preventive Medicine even if you never use the power.

I have never minded the prerequisite boxing to get tough and weave. Most of my builds use boxing for 5 absolute amazement ios. The fighting pool is a powerhouse for passive always active stat bolstering.

Currently on fire.

I've spent the last couple days building different MM's on the test for several hours!  Thanks to that new Macro!!! <3. I was able to make a lot of toons really fast. Super helpful!

Not a lot to report, here is what's stopping me from making one on live:

 

I still find it frustrating when your pets die in battle and you still have to spend 5/10 seconds resuming/buffing them in long animations. -
You have to pick every pet/upgrade for each MM to consider even doing some kind of dmg. The MM builds seem like they all are really tight. I really tried to make a good build with 1 pet and try to focus on my secondary a little bit more but you do no dmg without your pets. Also having/wanting  to set up 10 binds to keep your pets in check and keeping  your pets alive and buffed all at the same time is not worth the stress when you can play another class with not as nearly as much stress. 
-I am new to the class. So it might be something I need to adapt to. This is coming from someone that has never played the class tell this Beta. Still learning the play style. My option will definitely change! I'm gonna keep testing and learning the class.

 


I look forward to testing more MM builds in future updates! The buffs they got are awesome. Taking the right steps!

If no (do not roll back, keep unconditional resistance), that's a buff to a power that's already providing a lot of benefit many builds cannot get elsewhere.

Isn't this just a fix? Wasn't it always supposed to give the resistance regardless of when you used it? Nothing in the power description suggests that it should work this way.

 

P.S. please don't change RoP duration. Please just bring the other origin pool powers duration in line with it so they also have a 90 second duration. 3 power picks, 1 of which is almost certainly a complete waste, is enough of a sacrifice for a 90 second origin power like RoP or unleash potential.

kinetic corruptors

(This is in reference to him saying kinetic corruptors don't use RoP.)

 

Ummmm, yes we did/do. If the changes go through to 60s, we won't, but as the author of a very popular fire/kin (plus helping tons of other people build their kins), I assure you that lots of kins use it. I don't need to use it though, if this change goes through I will simply post a break free combining macro in my thread with a new build that likely takes goes m/r softcap with an epic armor so that fire/kins have greater resistance overall, but now need to use break frees for mez protection. Which, honestly, is probably a stronger build overall (60-75% s/l res at all times is better than 60-75% half to 3/4 of the time), but I have been resisting needing to use inspirations and macros.

 

The benefits of RoP with the recharge taken into account make it just worth it for me to take it. To be clear, if the duration was 75, I wouldn't take it on my fire/kin. If it was 80, I'd have to think about it and do some testing. A 3 power pick on a toon that has absolutely 0 natural resistance or defense is extremely strapped when they are looking for survivability. RoP is just barely worth it right now.

 

RoP is often taken on squishies whose power sets lack natural defenses or resistances (like kinetics and poison) because it gives those toons a way to get those abilities at a cost of not being able to use it permanently and a 3 power sacrifice. It's a high price to pay, but it is often worth the trade off.

 

I am also surprised to read you write (hear you say, but in forum speak maybe?) that blasters, kinetic corruptors, and cold domination users are at the top of the food chain when my brutes can go from mission to mission at +4x8 with softcapped defences, high resistances, high damage, and mez protection. According to the numbers, corruptors are not that common compared to brutes, scrappers, and blasters. There is a reason for this, those ATs often offer more power and ease of play to the user. 

 

P.S. I am talking to you here, but really only in the first part, you were a good stand in for my writing voice to talk to, at no point do I mean to come across as attacking you. It was just easier to write as if I was talking to you the whole time.

I mind needing to take boxing every single time. I can't learn to dodge without learning to punch? Wth.

I personally consider it this way, but they have explicitly stated that it was intended to not work that way originally and the power description didn't reflect it. So either way it's a bug fix, whether it was the power description or the power effects.

I'm personally just on the other side of the fence of "barely worth it right now" and it goes from "not quite worth it" to "not even worth considering," which is where I lump the other origin pool T5s. That's why I was saying that, if the intent was to normalize the durations, the shorter durations should be increased to match Rune's rather than the other way around. They should be tempting, not dismissable.

Intentional but not communicated. Jimmy confirmed in the first power changes thread.

I was speaking more to speed runs and that ultra min/max kind of thing in the writing. Often, fire/fire blasters, at least one kinetic and at least one cold dom are used.

 

 

No kin, but they're eating tons of reds. 

 

Whatever the intent of the change was, all it accomplishes is reducing diversity. It will not impact the meta, that was the point I was making.

Since I didn't have RoP experience I made a build on live with I/Os that I thought could benefit heavily from it... rad/dp Defender currently in its 30s running choking cloud and the main rad debuff toggles going up against mezzy mobs.... I'm probably too low level still, but am pretty unimpressed with RoP even with the 90 sec duration. With just ok recharge from slotting, AM, Hasten, and a couple set bonuses I still try to use it reactively and it hasn't really been that great due to animation time and long recharge. I will switch to proactive use asap. 

 

I will also keep going toward 50+, but I think if this goes live I may jump ship to the new flight pool for the extra defense and flight control (also dislike how loose mystical flight is but do like translocate) and just use the sorcery slots on the epic shield that I'm currently not going to toggle most of the time b/c endurance.

 

This character's  concept of sorcery doesn't hinge on the rune graphics enough or even at all. I feel anyone that is doing a rune mage will be less likely to be able to walk away and I don't think origin pools should feel weak even compared to primary powers. So if anything I would be in favor of buffs and not nerfs and would keep it 90 sec until more assessments could be done.

i haven't exactly been active lately, but i'm trying to get back into the game.

 

my "main" character, such as it is, is a mercs/time "tankermind" build. for complex reasons not worth going into here, i am intentionally not getting incarnate powers on the character.

 

even with that constraint i'd barely managed in my build to get rune of protection to slightly better than 50% uptime1. but despite time being a rather strong set, because of the minutia of mercs2 i'm limited in my options for dealing with a lot of problems. i pretty much designed my entire build around trying to make rune of protection help me survive difficult spans of spite.

 

going from 90s up/~86 seconds down to 60s up/~116 seconds down is a pretty big swing for a mm that is tanking for pets.

 

if there turn out to be valid, necessary reasons for rune of protection to be nerfed, i will be sad, but figure out how to adapt.

 

but please, provide those reasons? "let's make it consistent, but incidentally savage the survivability of the characters which relied it" isn't very nice.

 

notably: it doesn't serve exactly the same role as the 'equivalent' powers in the other pools. they all clearly have different purposes in what they provide. how is duration parity meaningful given that?

 

1 notably, i use it on demand rather than as part of any rotation, due to lacking anything else to bridge the spans with. 

2 while i'm excited about trying the full auto changes, mercs is very much lacking in reliable control options, and barring a substantial redesign i don't see spec ops becoming viable utility

I'm kind of amazed that there are ardent defenders for keeping a pool power untouched that is basically better than T9 Strength Of Will from the Secondary Willpower Armor sets, with (still) potentially a bigger uptime.

It really shouldn't be surprising that one of the only "high tier" Pool Powers that people can justify sinking multiple power picks into has people who don't want it to become another dead power in a sea of dead powers. It being "better" (not universally true anyway, depending on AT) than some random armor set's T9 while still being a rare, niche pick says more about the sad state of that armor's T9 than it does about the strength of the pool power. Armor T9s have been mostly a waste for most sets for a long time in general anyway.

my position is: if it's a problematic power, then yeah, sure, action might be required.

 

but please demonstrate that it is actually problematic, and how the action taken addresses that problem.

 

as other people have noted, what you have to take in order to get rune of protection in the first place is somewhat questionable. making those bits work usefully in a build is hard, and for most builds you can get better, more practical results investing elsewhere. probably even with better slotting options.

 

and speaking for myself, i'd prefer nerfs to other aspects of the power before reductions to availability. what it provides how often is what matters to me, not the magnitude of what it provides. i don't want to be unbeatable (and this power can't get me that even as-is), but i do want a build option that's meaningful. as alluded to above by others, i've always skipped T9 armors because they're usually not meaningful build options in my eyes.

 

but that's just me.

Spot on. When I read that I was like "People still take armor T9s? Even with IOs? Why????"

One more hand raised for "Was surprised to hear there are people who believe RoP is a significant barrier to taking armor T9 powers." That's not been my experience. Rather, the generally low value added by taking T9 powers has been the biggest barrier to taking T9 powers. 

You could go further than just low value added and say negative value picks as there are a few that are just delayed suicide buttons.

My limited experience using RoP reactively makes me want an Absorb or small Heal added to it since mez drops toggles that may be needed for survival (thinking of debuffs) and you need time to re-anchor. I realize that other ATs can just layer good pool powers on already good survival but at some point focus on defense impacts potential dps.

 

I am currently taking it slow leveling this Rad/DP/soul Defender doing arcs I don't usually do. However, at 35 with RoP fully slotted I believe that this character will struggle more than most of my many other squishy characters without RoP if I try to use RoP instead of clarion and then if I do get clarion I would do better just using insp than keeping RoP. I wanted RoP because it is a thematic origin pool and was hoping it would allow more incarnate build choice but even with it at 90 sec I am considering a melee hybrid rotation just to keep other destiny choices on the table. 

 

I suppose that devs concern themselves with min/max mindsets and while I casually min/max I am not interested in breaking theme to solo AVs and GMs (not saying it is always necessary to break theme). When there was no Homecoming I played that other game where you can pick any power and I know that pool powers have to be kept in check. However the way origin pools are restricted to one in conjunction with the prerequisite in-pool picks there should be sufficient controls in place to allow tier-3 origin pool powers to shine and attract players.

Why do stealth powers lose ANY Defense when in combat?  I'd like an honest answer.  And saying it was always so isn't good enough.

 

If the player character can be seen by the mobs and gets aggro, I think the first attack has the full Defense because the PC is not flagged as having attacked, been attacked, or clicked an objective.  Unless somehow being attacked somehow flags the character before being hit or even the roll to hit, which is not what I think happens.

 

From that point on until all of those flags expire and go away, the Defense is affected.  Rarely untouched, usually halfed, now sometimes quartered or removed entirely.

 

If the player character can't be seen, then it's only by happenstance affected if the player is in an AoE and gets hits and then flagged as been attacked.

 

So, the vast majority of the time doing anything useful, the player is going to have the lower value of in-combat Defense.  Which makes the higher values of Defense out-of-combat effectively useless.

Powers Changes

Power Animation & Rooting Update

  • Power animation time and rooting time have been decoupled - meaning that powers now decide how long they should root the character for, not the animation
    • This greatly increases our flexibility in making adjustments to power timing, animations, and rooting, and also fixes various issues surrounding animation cancelling
  • The following powers will now never root during their activation:
    • Ally-targeting abilities that do not hit enemies (eg: Healing Aura, but not Twilight Grasp)
    • Self-only abilities that do not hit enemies (eg: Build Up, but not Soul Drain)
  • The following powers will still root during their activation (and will do so more reliably):
    • Any power that applies any kind of effect to enemies (this includes attacks as well as taunt and damage auras)
    • All powers that summon other entities
    • All interruptible powers (snipes/assassinations/etc) will now root for their uninterruptible window
  • Weapon redraw should no longer cancel attack animations
  • In addition, many powers with excessively long cast times have been sped up (listed below)

Mastermind Summons & Henchmen Buffs

  • Mastermind Henchmen Summons have had their recharge times reduced:
    • T1 Henchmen: reduced from 60s to 5s (25s in PvP)
    • T2 Henchmen: reduced from 90s to 10s (35s in PvP)
    • T3 Henchmen: reduced from 120s to 15s (50s in PvP)
  • These summon powers are no longer affected by recharge buffs or debuffs
  • Mastermind Henchmen Summons have had their endurance costs reduced:
    • T1 Henchmen: reduced from 19.5 end to 5.46 end
    • T2 Henchmen: reduced from 19.5 end to 9.62 end
    • T3 Henchmen: reduced from 19.5 end to 13.18 end
