Why does the Wolf head look like it's perpetually looking down, or perhaps the snout is... dislocated somehow? I noticed this to be a problem on the dragon head as well. It just looks really, really bad in my opinon.
Here's two gifs I did to compare. Unless 50% all damage strength means something entirely different. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised. Without Dark Transfusion: Blood Sacrifice. With Dark Transfusion: Blood Sacrifice.
Maybe, maybe not. I'm hoping that months isn't the case but hey, if they are still within the realm of accessibility without people going insane I'm for it. I mean, I hate to say it, but I'd recommend that if people are that serious about getting the best gear ASAP, get the currency boost from the z-store. On the topic of…
As long as the Q warzone gives GCR at a reasonable rate, I'm pretty sure that people will still be able to get their justice gear without touching TA/Cosmics. The way I see it, this is a move to give more options rather than take it away. Let's be real, real, REAL honest. Would you prefer to grind for a couple of…
I feel Secrets of the Shadow Cult should be changed. Instead of requiring 12 lore bits, perhaps only require one while also having a different mission requirement obtained by getting specific mob drops. The reason for this is because it will significantly lower the annoyance of having to both get the lore before other…
They did say they were adding more ways to get GCR in the future. Well, the future is now. Time to test and see how the drop rates stack up. If they suck, let 'em know.
I have no doubt in my mind that is what they're doing. Being able to charge up powerful attacks that have the second highest range in the game while moving is pretty strong. Take, for example, in Alerts. On my main I can just use Jetpack and hover 100ft away and almost every melee boss besides Ripper becomes harmless. Even…
Not paying attention to an aspect of the game because majority of the people don't bother with it is more of a sign that it -needs- attention. Just saying.
On the topic of grind, let me just say this. I don't like the Justice gear grind because of the RNG, but I'm sure there's something that can be done about that later. With GCR, well, there's definitely going to be more ways to obtain it down the line. That is what we were told, and considering they released a new Lair and…
It would be nice, but in my experience it's rather workable if you know what you're doing. Especially since Strength has a cost reduction for melee in its specs. Annoying workaround aside, though, having a melee focused passive and form makes this AT -Highly- damaging.
While it doesn't cause bleeding, when you have all that endurance and save up enough energy, or have that slow trickle from Wild Thing, you can actually maintain Chainsaw for quite a while. The best thing I've found is to take Barbed Lariat with Unstoppable, fully charged. Not only do you pop Wild Thing but the knock will…
So Imma talk about the new AT because I played it and like it a lot. Though I like it, I do have a few issues with it. As of right now, it doesn't seem like there's much difference between Cut Down or Thunderbolt Lunge. Baring the bug that makes nailed to the ground for Cut Down cost way more than it should, the only…
The way it looks, Reaper's Caress for Focus builds, Slash for everything else. Also another valid point, Caress is .3 > .4 > 1sec for activation times. Slash is .4 > .4 > .63. Another idea is that you can take both if you wanted to. Take Slash because it's faster for the Shredded adv, make Caress rank 3 for maximum damage.
I don't know how much DPS it pulls, but using Avenger Mastery with Pulse Beam Rifle and basically any blast power(I prefer Experimental Blaster) seems to give some good damage.
I saw some posts earlier in the thread about The Devastator being useless and like, I tried it out and was getting 12k Skewer charge crits. Not to mention soloing a 5man Hard Battlestation group. I don't understand how the AT is broken, or how the powers being changed is worth throwing a fit about. Theme, Eruption getting…
Because then you take Massacre and wreck face. Since Shred is now an AoE power you don't need to take any other AoEs unless you make the choice to have that extra bit of killing power. Otherwise you can use that to take another power, like an Active Offense, On-Hit device, etc etc. I guess it's less ST focus and more of a…
I look at it like this. You can get by with just taking Shred, sure. Though if you want to kill everything around you faster and have some healing, you can take Frenzy too. All these changes to basic attacks basically means that it frees up your powers if you want to focus on ST more, and you don't need to pick an AoE…
Frenzy actually stacks bleeds now, counts as a combo, hits more than 3 targets consistently -and- has the advantage to apply Furious. Furious is a crit chance buff -and- a healing defensive tool, so taking Frenzy is basically more AOE killing power and survivability.
I think it's pretty clear that PTS 2GMJ needs its energy cost reduced. Maaaybe a 5% damage increase or something along those lines. Other than that it's a powerful ability that has much more utility. Furious is really cool, guuuys.
I used the Debugger to skip to 20 and took 2GMJ. Not exactly difficult to get out of taking Burst Shot. Honestly, the only problem I feel is the energy cost. It's way too much to consistently maintain. At the very least the inherent cone helps it absolutely murder everything. If anything, the energy costs is what makes it…
That's the problem. Most of Dual Pistol's abilities are lackluster, or serve as Utility instead of damage. 2GMJ and Lead Tempest were the only powerful ones, except one was t1 the other was t3. Now with the addition of Burst Shot, there's a little more variation. 2GMJ is kept powerful and is bumped up to t3, while t1 gets…
So what about all the other Frameworks that are like that, then. I don't see many people up in arms that Haymaker is a t3 power. Same with Massacre, Defile, Gigabolt, etc etc. I get that Burst Shot feels weak, but while the whole 'Superheroes should feel SUPER!' notion I agree with, you're also supposed to be a Superhero…
Just went to make a character on the PTS. Not only does Burst Shot replace 2gmj as a second power choice, but it does an adequate job of getting you through the tutorial. Just like every other power. While I agree that Burst Shot needs some love in the form of animation, it's a utility power. Just like Ice Blast is now;…
In what way will the game force someone to take Holdout Shot? Is it the second power choice on the PTS create a character screen? Because if so I seriously doubt that will remain an option. Burst Shot will undoubtedly be replacing 2gmj in that lineup.
[19:40] [Combat (Self)] Your Two-gun Mojo deals 2440 (2135) Piercing Damage to Regenerating Test Dummy B Int Ego/Con with Quarry. Guardicator specs. Honestly I really don't see the issue beyond 'muh ez build!'s being less easy, and the energy cost. That needs to be reduced a lot more than it is. Unless they're shifting to…
I figured that would have been a good place to start. I had the idea, just wanted an opinion. What do you think about, say, Dex Con/Rec and going with crit form with Dragon Kick for melee AoE and Shiruken Storm? Same beastial main attacks but different stacks. Would take Parry with the adv. I know I'd be missing out on the…
I dunno, I never managed to get it to work quite as well as everyone states it can be. Though as others said it's not that great for the tougher stuff which I tend to prefer. Like tanking 2-3 mobs in an alert for giggles. I don't even like Defiance for that. Edit: Even so, this is about Field Surge. Good points.
PFF requires too many powers to make it work properly. As of right now, it just isn't a good power beyond taking for concept reasons. I would not take out what you have already, and would simply swap Masterful Dodge for Unbreakable if you're looking to have a sort of damage shield thing. As for understanding Synergies,…
Guess I'll throw in a suggestion as well. PowerHouse (Link to this build) Name: Archetype: Freeform Super Stats: Level 6: Dexterity (Primary) Level 10: Intelligence (Secondary) Level 15: Constitution (Secondary) Talents: Level 1: The Master Level 6: Martial Focus Level 9: Physical Conditioning Level 12: Body and Mind Level…
I did that before with a tank build. Traded knock resistance for super-fast cooldowns. Turns out the knock resistance wasn't worth giving up. Probably best for a maintain PA build.
Yeah I run with around 150~ or so rec so I'm always at max energy, and so Overdrive provides me with more energy than PBR uses. Makes it perfect to spam Conviction for heals while also easily maintaining energy for whenever Sonic Device comes off cooldown. I had MSA in the past with Int as secondary, but after the nerf I…
