My Ice Patch sometimes works and sometimes not. Most often not. I suppose yelling does make the ground less slippery or something. Yeah, I forgot about that one. Shout Of Command; Lts and Bosses have it. Giving them the floor from PF to stack that seems to have had an affect. Good stuff. I like it. You see a mousetrap? I see free cheese and a f$%^ing challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shred Monkey Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Clearly the solution is to add more knockback to your powers to disrupt their formation. 2 4 Active on Excelsior: Prismatic Monkey - Seismic / Martial Blaster, Shadow Dragon Monkey - Staff / Dark Brute, Murder Robot Monkey - Arachnos Night Widow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarky Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) Finally a place my Storm/Water Blast with no KB mitigation will get some love. Bill, add Snarknado to your team.

In all seriousness, I do remember playing with no KB->KD in Shockwave for many a cycle... it's so much better with the proc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZemX Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 The text descriptions of Shout of Command don't list KB protection but City of Data has it as +Mez protection (All) whatever that means. I've also noticed them stop falling down on Ice Patch so it's gotta be this power. It's a huge 30ft radius so it's hitting pretty much every Cim in the room with -10 protection for 15 seconds and it comes from any of the boss or lieutenant types, I think, once they are damaged enough.

Bill Z Bubba Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 Grabbed some Amps for my shield/em tank and went back in. It was a touch better on the whiff-fest front but I felt so dirty for having amps on a 50. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is Earth Mastery, so you'll still feel dirty. 😁 3 Get busy living... or get busy dying. That's goddamn right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninja surprise Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I think we should form an all-Shield ITF and give them a taste of their own medicine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skoryy Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Hey wait, Actionette (Rad/Atomic) is a rolling -def machine. I'm not transferring her to Excel, though, don't want to risk someone ninja-ing her name. Everlasting's Actionette Also Wolfhound, Starwave, Blue Gale, Relativity Rabbit, and many more!

Shred Monkey Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Paralytic interface incarnate has -defense. Not sure it it's worth much, but neither are the other interface procs... might be worth a try.

voyager2001dl Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Do yo out think the Nerve Alpha Incarnate series might help with this? It sys its +account, but to hit would make more sense as it applies to all attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Nerve would act as an Accuracy enhancement in all your powers that accept Accuracy enhancements. And in all likelihood you'll benefit most from To Hit buffs and least from Accuracy. Accuracy is a multiplier and multiplying a small number doesn't help as much as making that number not as small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AerialAssault Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 It wouldn't surprise me if some devs were watching the replies to this change intently. I think it's genius, really. A small but powerful change that turns the AoE spam on it's head. Oh? You like City of Heroes? Name every player character. I'll be waiting in my PMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
