To be fair, most of those old sayings are bad.
-
Quarry is great for a Force build. It gives nice damage with a bit of a boost to durability. If you really want to go defensive, your best bet is Defiance or Invulnerability. Doing that kind of makes you mediocre at both damage and durability, rather than really good at one, but it is an option.
-
Fixing healers needs to be fixed. I agree, every top-kek healer is almost exactly the same as every other. What I would like to see is a massive fix to Auras. 1) They should simply scale with Super Stats, like other passives, and apply the same boost to both user and to friends. 2) The boost they provide needs to be…
-
Still wouldn't use them, but at least that way they might be a little sellable.
-
I like the limit on chat. I also wish they would limit posting frequency so people can't spam cross-posting. Nothing draconian, maybe like once every 2 seconds. I do see your point on doing binds, though. This could prohibit a long, complex bind command. But, I thought the bind text file could be edited directly, which…
-
I like this, as long as there is an opt-out.
-
This is actually caused by poor CC builds.
-
I actually like the Darkness revamp, as well. For a while, now, I have been trying to make a viable AoED build and never came up with anything decent. After the latest Darkness revamp, I went with that and it works very nicely. Shadow Manifestation was a great addition that made the build viable. The only thing they still…
-
This.
-
I'm saying Fire simply because they put TWO idiotic toggle forms in that scale off of REC. One would have been insult enough, but two??? That's just plain mean. Smoldering is particularly rude as it requires you to do damage to increase your healing, while giving no benefit whatsoever over Compassion. Fiery Will might be…
-
I would have said Fire because it was pretty nice, but it still does not perform as well as some of the other sets.
-
Utterly stupidly ridiculously useless. If you are a DPS pulling too much aggro, just don't mash your buttons so hard, it really is that simple. Or take a threat wipe power. Or die. I mean, the real way these things reduce your threat is by knocking down your crit damage since they take up offense spots. But, really, the…

To snag it and hurl it against the something to smash it, about 100 MPH. To tear it apart into chunks faster than it could get hurled, something like 400 MPH. To literally pulverize it into tiny pieces, oof, I'd have to guesstimate something like 14,000 MPH. Note that we are ignoring lots of side effects of high speed…
-
Note that with your current version, Molecular Self-Assembly is going to give you almost no energy. It only procs when a power comes off recharge. Which powers do you have with a short recharge? Conviction is actually pretty good for that because it is a good self-heal and has a short recharge. Also, the energy it gives…
-
It is exactly what I have been asking for. I mean, really I would like to be able to manually order them, but I realize that may not be possible. So this is nearly as good.
-
OMG this is awesome! You guys are crazy, though. I would have paid extra for this.
-
What Spinny means is that Aurum performs adequately in most content except end-game level, e.g. Cosmics and QWZ. If you have an FotM build (basically most of the MA sets and Bestial), you will perform passably at all the non-Eido Cosmics. This means you can start gaining GCR and SCR. So, you can get around on Aurum, but,…
-
Good stuff all around!
-
Ahhhhh, that's pretty secksee! Can we keep it this way?
-
Yeah, I recommend Burninator on Incinerate, instead of challenge. Especially now that there is a fire mod that converts damage to threat, making a high dps fire tank is a solid option these days. Also, if you neeeeeed to shave a point, you don't need Challenge on Conflag. Anywhere you are fighting a group, like…
-
Cool cool. This definitely helps.
-
I've tried a number of damage-output debuff builds, and the only place I ever noticed any difference was the Gravitar Rampage. The Cosmics are either immune, very resistant, or do so much damage the the difference is irrelevant. Regular mobs do so little damage that the difference is irrelevant. I recommend Telekinetic…

Yeah, I'm not seeing any benefit from Dex PSS in this build. If you really want to do that, take Power Swell instead of Gear Utilization. Also, for Combat Training, you would want to go with Wardicator to boost your offense as high as possible to get the extra Crit rating. Well, then that means you do want Gear…

As far as Int vs Ego, she used to be Int. It's been a while, but I think I tested Int vs Ego, and Ego comes out more DPS. With 2 debuffs and NW, you've already got a lot of penetration. And the Insight spec gives more energy discount than Int does. Also, Ego just for the fun of knocking things across town.
-
I've been wondering when that would happen. Expected it ages ago.
-
Tried this in the QWZ and pretty much rofflestomps. I'm not even really sure why. Just used the addition of a Psionic Accelerator (of course) and the spider sidekick device (actually part of her background/theme). The Shadow summons are significantly better than I expected.
-
Okay, updated. I moved stuff to the end that I might want to change. Violeta Darkness Support v3.29:31 Super Stats Level 6: Presence (Primary) Level 10: Constitution (Secondary) Level 15: Dexterity (Secondary) Talents Level 1: The Witch (Con: 10, Int: 8, Pre: 10, Rec: 10) Level 6: Acrobat (Dex: 5, Con: 5) Level 9: Finesse…
-
Yeah, I might dump Summon Shadow for Ebon Ruin or some other good ST attack, but really I figure for group content I'll spend most of my time spamming Lifedrain and the other heal stuff. For CCing, I'd unslot the passive, probably. I could just dump the idea of doing any CCing at all, trash Ego Sleep and take Ebon Ruin. I…
-
And now with the other reworked pull powers, Gravitic Ripple seems even more lame by comparison.
-
I was really really REALLY hoping this would be on an important issue. That of just Zerging Phase 1 at every Kiga instead of spending time CCing it. So many tanks and healers have the ability to withstand the onslaught of 4 dogs these days, that doing the old CC and pull 1 should only be reserved when the Zerg format has…
-
Well THIS is cool! Also, I'm really happy about all the powers that had their scaling damage changed to fixed
-
In this game, either way it is pay to win. Literally everything involving time is pay to win around here. You could either spend X hours working to make some dough to buy what you want. Or, you could spend time grinding it out to get the same thing. Maybe you like playing better than working, so the fact you need to spend…
-
Really? I see it plenty. I mean, not so much these days because nobody cares about scoreboards, as much. But, yeah, I've seen it.
-
So, I mainly went Ego primary for the knockback fun, but it turns out to be pretty efficient all around. The Insight spec 3/3 at full Ego (645 currently) gives me a 47% discount, which is more than I would get from full Int. While giving up Dex did kinda suck, with using the Sixth Sense and Follow Through specs, I still…
-
This is all really epic knowledge that I wish I had like 10 years ago. I'm going to try upping my settings from "Potato" to "Stick Figure" then use these other things to see if I can actually keep things going.
-
I've tried this 7 ways from Sunday and it just does not work well. It is just too many special effects to fit in one build. I mean, how many different ST or AOE attacks do you need? My recommendation would be to do something with a few of the temp or pseudo pet DoTs, like Dust Devil or Wall of Ice. Then pick up a solid…
-
You must. I have gotten thanked many a time for BTing. Maybe not individually, but lots of people give a general tank thanks in zone. And, if there is a request for a tank or something in a channel and you respond, people often say thanks.
-
I guess I'm happy they can be sold, now. Other than that, I can't possibly see what the issue was with hoarding them. I was less hoarding and more completely ignoring.
-
Kind of a moot point at the moment because the chicken is taken all of people's time, thanks to expensive shineys and only 1 week to get them.
-
This is the real issue. As far as the "soak" tank attacking or not, unless they are an unusually high dps tank, it hardly makes a difference. Certainly everyone should be attacking during DPS check, but a couple tanks attacking during the non-check periods is not going to significantly shorten the length of the run. The…
-
Heck, I use keyboard and touchpad on my laptop.
-
This is correct. Tested this extensively when I first made my healer. The OP is correct, healer targeting in this game is a huge PITA. I set up keybinds for targeting next/previous/nearest friendly player. I never need to target the "friend" crap that includes NPCs and dogs. That can help some. In certain cases, I will…
-
So, it turns out that Engine + Orbital works really well for soloing Portals! I keep being surprised at how well this build works, I had really low expectations.
-
I've been fiddling with my PA forever. Haven't been able to decide between Ego and Int PSS. But, Ego is definitely the better choice?
-
For hard targets (Cosmics, bosses) it basically goes Tap Chest Beam, Tap Burst Shot, Full Force Cascade, repeat. Full FC after boom blocking for Retaliation buff. Re-up the AOs as they recycle. Drop Neuroelectric Pulse if energy is a problem (usually not necessary). I may drop one of those CB taps and only refresh it every…
-
I mean, it's an open mission. Not like anyone can block anyone from being there, barring zone caps (but those affect everyone). Like you said, there are only a few actual jackasses, so it should not be hard to find one of the nicer Eido runners, make friends with them, and ask them to invite you to runs. As long as you…
-
Sure, there are rude people everywhere. But that is really easy to get around. As you said, most of the members are not like that. So, just ask the nice people for an invite.
-
Updated The Orbital Cannon and Implosion Engine are there for theme, mostly. Haven't decided whether to keep them or get something decent. Vortex Any / Multiple v3.27:30 Super Stats Level 6: Ego (Primary) Level 10: Recovery (Secondary) Level 15: Endurance (Secondary) Talents Level 1: The Impulse (Int: 10, Ego: 10, Rec: 8,…

Cool, thanks for the tips! I didn't notice Unified Theory as a good EU, but yeah, that works better.
