You are correct, it got buffed.    adding -def however was meant to screw with firefarmers.

If you still enjoy the game but hate how toxic the forum has become - why not just chill out from the forum for a bit and just lose yourself in the game? I so rarely see toxicity in there.

I can’t understand adults getting stressed about something so minor. It’s the same 15-30 people arguing in every thread.

Then why not have -def on every attack?

I mean if you are blinded by a dark blast attack, would that not effect your ability to dodge?  @Snarky

And super sub zero cold temps shivering reducing something and a thing

And getting hit with a rock wait it already does this

etc

Dark (almost all) have a beautiful, simple to hit debuff.  No Effing idea the magical connection or in game justification.  You get hit by dark, you take a Neg?  

 

On the other hand Dark/Dark Blaster is a train wreck of mismatched and poorly performing powers otherwise.  

 

The game Devs give with one hand, and punch you right in the nuts with both hands afterward.

 

Welcome to the Party pal.

There are quite a few toxic power sets now.  Do you even care about us anymore?  Really?

Because if you are blinded, how can you dodge?

Yea, I see it, too. But as others posted, folks found away around that, too, like they always do. The AE crafters aren't morons and it ain't rocket surgery. They correct, they move on and with very little change to the output. It's ok. The benefits outweigh the detriments.

Which brings up the point on why even do it in the first place.  -4% def wont make or break someone solo, or in a group

And not doing it for others is just as baffling.  Dominators still have the longass Combustion.

Except for the people who "stopped playing" and go as far as changing their sig to let everyone know "they're out of here" yet still post here constantly?  Those people?  I have a hard time believing *anyone* really quits.

 

Given that I could make a post that says "I like puppies" and you would still downvote, I have a hard time valuing your input on the matter.

oh man, and fire control

 

 

Off topic, somehow, but hard agree with this. Mentioned it on both the focussed feedback pages for FM and FA. The consume one in particular woulda helped.

he had years of training and he fell into a vat of chemicals after touching the beacon of insight while in the lair of supermans cryptocrystalcomputers, in this particular instance someone who was not blind before got temp blinded somehow keeping all their defenses

Yeah. I'm happy about both the buff to Fiery Melee and the buff to Sentinels. I didn't even play yesterday because I still can't decide if I want to keep Peregrine Falcon as a Fire/Shield Scrapper or reroll him as a Fire/Willpower Sentinel.

Being constantly offended doesn't mean you're right, it means you're too narcissistic to tolerate opinions different than your own.

Cuz of what I've been talking about since issu1. Balance is good by default. We argue about where the balance line should be, sure, but any move toward balance is a good thing.
