The last time someone tested this I think it averaged to 2.78 salvage per lockbox.

I posted about this a while back. From the tests I ran it looked like offense and criticals were on the same damage layer. This means that the damage bonus from offense does not crit. Non crit: total damage = damage + offense_bonus crit: total damage = (damage x crit_severtiy) + offense_bonus

This topic comes up a lot so I did some tests on PTS so we have some actual numbers to compare. I tried several of the primary single target damage powers from different power sets. Using a level 40 Ego/Dex/Int toon in ranged damage role. Passive was Kinetic Manipulation or Electric Form depending on damage type. (these…

A couple of quick points. MSA scales primarily with Int not Rec. Without any Int you won't get much out of it. Unbreakable was fixed a while back; it no longer breaks. I actually like it with Defiance as it works well against hordes of plinkers, which is a weak point of Defiance.

It's my understanding that you're not meant to be able to run a non PA power at the same time as PA power. Activating a PA power is supposed to lock out all non PA powers. Some people have figured out that if you're quick on the keys you can start some maintain powers right after clicking a PA toggle - but that's a bug. A…

You're not reading it right. Every character (new and old) gets a token good for one free aura. So relax and enjoy the good news.

Ego Surge - Nimble Mind and Vindicator's focused strikes and mass destruction give direct crit chance not rating. The changes to the crit rating curves have nothing do with these bonuses. Unless there's been a huge stealth change to how these work.

I did some further testing and I'm all but certain that damage from offense does not crit; it's added to your total damage *after* crit severity is calculated. If you have an attack that hits for 1100 with 100 coming from offense and a crit severity of 100% (crits do double damage) you get the following: Non crit damage:…

That not exactly true. The defense numbers have no diminishing returns but their effectiveness does. 100 defense stops 19% of incoming damage, 200 defense stops 32%, 300 defense stops 42%, and 400 defense stops 49%. In addition, the latest changes on live moved offense into it's own multiplicative damage layer so it's no…

If you can make the earth form aura work for you it's a great choice for mixing munitions, swords and ma because it gives the full damage boost to range and melee.

BUG: Quarry Audacity stacks still cap at 30 stat points instead of 20 The tooltip for Quarry states that Audacity stacks grant a maximum of 20 points to Int and Ego. The character sheet shows that Audacity is actually still granting the old bonus values that cap at 30 points. (i had posted this to the previous thread. just…

Haha. That's a good one. Oh wait, you're serious. That explains it. :tongue: I do actual development for a living. With development, testing, QA, etc, you're going to need a lot more than 200 man hours. I agree that a foundry would be fantastic but we need to be realistic.

100% dodge is not dodge anymore, it's defense. You should never be able to reach 100% dodge except for very short bursts (Masterful Dodge). Dodge is all about playing the RNG game. If you want predictable defenses we already have Defiance and Invulnerability.
-
That's probably more complicated than it needs to be. You may as well have bosses just drop "Justice Bucks" that you save up to purchase Justice gear. Unfortunately though most of the best stuff seems to come from chance boxes. Maybe a combination of the two. Chance boxes for the impatient/rich or long hours of grinding…

I actually did the same thing a while back when I setup the specs for my Soldier. Your numbers look good. Just as a guideline for everyone, EO peaks at a 7.5% crit chance boost when your total crit chance averages to 50%. As your crit chance goes up or down from 50% the boost from EO decreases. At 40/60 you get 7.2%, at…

Wow, so much great advice. With two reverse lunge powers, Breakaway Shot and Evasive Maneuvers, I decided that the dodge bonus from EM is too good to ignore so I'm dropping Breakaway shot. I really liked the idea of using Sonic Device for some damage spikes so that's in. Energy unlocks. I reviewed Mecha Teddy's thread and…
