Late to the party, as usual, on these topics. My only input will be on the defense layering for PFF: Before a good number of posts from 2012 were archived, I personally worked with Gentleman Crush to get the layering adjusted properly to be the manner in which Ravenforce has stated at the start of this thread.
-
Any word yet on that fix for Energy Storm with the drain triggering the 60 second cooldown which prevents players from firing the blast?
-
Looks like I'm late to the party. Fashionably, of course. In regards to PFF, 50% instant restore, followed by double regen is a bit much if you ask me. I'd say 15/20/25% based on rank of the power for the instant restore if double shield regen is to be included. Activation level of shield seems fine and the lockout for…
-
To be fair, Kinetic Manipulation didn't exist at the start of the Force Powerset. Field Surge was tagged as an Energy Form for the purpose of 1) overshield (no interaction with PFF at the time of release), and 2) popping off FC
-
Lately, since coming back, I've seen my shield plummet very quickly after popping Field Surge. The whole defensive aspect of the Force Powerset needs to be looked at.

I made a suggestion for something like this years ago. It became a vehicle power.
-
> @pantagruel01 said: > Field surge is useless unless you use PFF Nah, its still pretty useless.
-
Wut?
-
Be careful making new power suggestions. Last time I did that vehicles got Singularity Bomb and Gravity Pulse.
-
I see a lot of dependency on Form duration here. I, for one, welcome the duration changes. Maybe it's my play style, maybe it's the way I build characters, but I've never had to depend on a Form to get the most out of my characters. My Photon Fury character is a good example. Pestilence passive, Concentration, most of the…
-
I'm quite fond of the way Ego Sprites is now. It's back to how it was when the game launched. Sleep a mob, run in with Sprites and other Telepathy DoT (they don't break sleep), and carry on with the next mob.
-
I can honestly say that I like the look of this build. It reminds me of when I had my tank built with Might/PFF. Sturdy, for the most part, and good damage mitigation with knocks. Hits pretty hard as well. I had a lot of fun as Might/PFF and I hope you find the same enjoyment that I did.
-
Does this mean males will be getting the Vixen and alternate Beast stances that females have? :tongue:
-
Pump Impact Prisms (highest rank you can get) into your Primary Defense gear. Cost/Cooldown redux into Utility, and Growth into Primary Offense. Compassion won't be all that useful unless you can receive some kind of incoming healing to trigger it. Rapid Recovery on Rec Primary is good for this because of the damage bleed…
-
The build itself was nothing special. Just a regular PFF Force build with Compassion. Single stat focus on Recovery. Specs were something similar to this: Specializations: Recovery: Gear Utilization (3/3) Recovery: Rapid Recovery (2/3) Recovery: Staying Power (2/2) Recovery: Super Charged (3/3) Overseer: Administer (3/3)…

This is the build for my PFF tank. PowerHouse (Link to this build) Name: Archetype: Freeform Super Stats: Level 6: Dexterity (Primary) Level 10: Ego (Secondary) Level 15: Recovery (Secondary) Talents: Level 1: The Soldier Level 6: Agile Level 9: Indomitable Level 12: Tireless Level 15: Shooter Level 18: Impresario Level…

I love the way you've done my Kr'anri. :smiley:
-
I share the same sentiments. I've recently gone through my bookmarks and deleted well over 30 builds that I had saved because I know that they will all be affected by change soon. I'm not even going to touch the game until they've settled down with power changes.
-
*faints* Haven't done anything CO except forums for a while now.
-
How about a better squirrel tail...one that's animated.
-
Too bad it's not a game-wide event.
-
Why are all of the new things focused solely in Millennium City? These things could very well be "global" events. I would like to see something come out that actually get players out of MC. Teleios Ascendant was an okay start, but it just takes players to one location in an otherwise abandoned zone.
-
Yep yep yep. More power sets would be grand.
-
These DoT effects are supplemental DPS, not the primary DPS. They just add a little extra oomph to the powers. I imagine it won't be so bad now since they're now affected by the toggle forms.
-
Actually...I've seen Spar use alts before. Nearly gave me a heart attack.
-
This....has just become part of my signature. :smirk:
-
Just going to drop this here, too.
-
Don't just take damage into consideration for cost. FAW yes is a cone, but it's pure damage with Challenging Strikes adv. Two Gun is now a narrow cylinder, Crippling Challenge, Nailed to the Ground, Close the Gap, applies Furious to increase crit chance, and from Furious comes Willpower which is a HoT. The cost is fine for…
-
My EGO Con/Rec Cascader has no issues firing off a full Cascade either. No energy form required and can still maintain enough DPS to hold aggro against most bosses when I run alerts with her.
-
I misinterpreted what you meant in your post. Sorry for that. I'm all for a faster regen, but it doesn't need to be overly complicated. We can do away with the varying shield regen, just keep it a static number and increase the shield regen tick rate to 1.5 seconds.
-
I don't think that my nearly 10% shields per shield regen tick (base at 100% shield strength) is too low. It only gets to be too low when this varying shield regen kicks in as the shield takes damage. At the 8.2k shields that I have on my main, he gets ~795 per shield regen (base). This gets cut in half at around 60%…
-
Here's what I did with Protogen (who is dual pistols + PFF) with this update. PowerHouse (Link to this build) Name: Post-Two Gun Change Protogen (not a leveling build) Archetype: Freeform Super Stats: Level 6: Ego (Primary) Level 10: Dexterity (Secondary) Level 15: Recovery (Secondary) Talents: Level 1: The Soldier Level…
-
I would like to see this as well. We've also got "teleport to " devices that could be implemented for these instances as well.
-
So, I got to thinking about the original pitch. Perhaps if Containment Blast had an internal cooldown that didn't affect the base power. Much like Kunai w/ Chain on the Shuriken power.
-
Two Gun Mojo cost is just fine. Killer Instinct and Concentration, even had a spare advantage point to put into Accelerate Metabolism on Two Gun. I can maintain it just fine 3-4 full maintains before I have to have a "breather".
-
Epidemic. Pestilence is the passive.
-
Honestly...I think that varying shield regen, whether up or down, is bad and probably why this power is such a fustercluck.
-
This. All of this. Also, AoPM isn't too beneficial with PFF since the shield regen hits a "soft cap" at around 8k shields (assuming boosts are just from stats and rank) and begins scaling very horribly. All AoPM would do in this case would give an okay boost to shield max and a negligible boost to shield regen. Whoever…
-
I remember the first time I attempted Serpent Lantern on Elite. Heh...that didn't go very well.
-
I'll say it. As the power stands right now...use something else for tanking lairs. Yeah, I'm able to do it but I've spent years overcoming this mess of a passive in order to do it. Also, here's my suggestions on getting started with making PFF look like an actual choice when creating characters: 1. Remove the shield regen…
-
While I was initially against heals affecting PFF in the previous threads that it was brought up, I honestly wouldn't mind my Holdout Shot + Stim Pack boosting my shield back up. Like it's been said numerous times, heals are pretty well worthless for a PFF character (which is why so many of mine don't have heals). For…
-
@crypticarkayne :open_mouth: *faints* So it would seem. :tongue: First and foremost...we need to get rid of that stupid and unnecessary shield regen penalty.
-
What's sparked the sudden interest in this passive now? I'd pretty much given up on the fight to make it better a few years ago and had just accepted it for what it is. A broken piece of garbage. Too long have I suggested that Protection Field restore PFF shield strength and apply a Bionic Shielding style debuff so it's…
-
You make a fair point. I propose a Camp Three. Those who see these powers as overperforming, as well as a vast majority that are still underperforming. I'll move to Camp Three. :smiley:
-
Sign me up for Camp One.
-
I've been doing the PFF thing since shortly after the game launched in 2009. I'm kind of the go to person in regards to that passive. :tongue: Also, I've seen a surge of PFF users lately. More than any other time in the game's lifetime. Only things that I have yet to tank effectively with PFF (primarily due to their…
-
Personal Force Field punishes the user for trying to mitigate damage to HP. Once the shield is broken there is no passive as steady damage is enough to keep the shield from regenerating properly, even while blocking to get the shield regen boost.
-
*cough*PersonalForceField*cough* :wink:
-
I'm in favor of the Two Gun changes. And these numbers you speak of are what? I know that if I were to take Two Gun (on Live) and pop it on to my Cascade spiker I would be able to net roughly the same, if not more, damage using Two Gun over Cascade for a fraction of the energy cost. Two Gun as it is on Live is vastly…
