Do you have Hyrbid on for these runs or is Sonic Melee just this OP right now? If it's off, the set needs to be tuned big time.

Yes, on, just like Ston did in his tests

Gotcha.  And that explains even MORE.

 

The set will definitely be a force multiplier on teams regardless of personal DPS. Stacking -RES? lol. Ill/Son Dom, Col/Son Def, Kin/Son Def, something Bio/X tanker, and the rest x/bio melee? Lol target go PFFFT.

What's with the spamming beta powerset results that staff has indicated aren't final?

 

I remember that one set of changes that obliterated the pylons before the fixes were in place.

 

 

I figure it's not likely to get any real changes that effect the numbers.  They already said they're not changing the mechanics of the set.

 

I just heard the set was bad damage so I was testing it out.  Didn't think I was really spamming the thread tho. 😛

I believe only one attack has -Resist Damage, the rest are -Resist Debuff.

Oh, I see what you mean now. Good catch. 

 

Wait. This is still amazing. Especially for teams. And solo. This set won't suffer from debuff diminishing returns as much as other sets because of that.

Yeah. 

 

Every AT and combination posts in this thread, yet they have to dig for it in the scrapper subforum, so they may not look at all. I know there are players who don't play melee who would contribute to this if they knew it existed. Hell, I know I'm primarily a melee player and I rarely ever see the Tanker subforum. I know there are a lot of people that primarily play a ranged AT aren't likely to see this thread.

It's better it's here. Not sure why it was in the scrapper subforum. Every AT uses it. Been that way since Live.

Because it started in Scrappers and it was supposed to be that way forever.  Now we'll all feel it's a nerf to this topic. >_>

I really don't understand why this thought has permeated with some people. It's been created in other places and moved accordingly.
