Does the Sniper Glove nerf apply to Gadgeteer's Pulse Beam Rifle with rapid pulses? Can it not, please? I think we can all agree that Pulse Beam Rifle doesn't need a nerf.
It's not a good fit. The Cosmics were giant rampaging monsters, kind of a Godzilla thing. Kigatilik too, demon god status notwithstanding. Shadow Destroyer-turned-Eidolon is a separate and unique thing to himself. It's the game's culmination, and its climax. It's standalone. It shouldn't have been lumped in with the…
Hey DaZee. Definitely take Ego Surge with Nimble Mind. I also highly recommend the advantage on Ego Annihilation called Mental Acuity. Mental Storm is good for the debuff as well. Take those and you'll be, well...me!
Sorry i missed that, Jaaz. Must have been after dinner. I guess Kaiser Behemoth was right. Perhaps there were too many low DPS present for the earlier attempt. That's reassuring to hear it's doable.
Do you have any toons with JG? If not, then I understand. Your frustration is not with me. Sorry to have been so flippant; I'm just reporting my own experiences. At least now you can confidently farm GCR for Distinguished Gear.
@DaZee, I know some of people use the same toon to farm tokens for hours. When you do that, as I understand it, your odds diminish considerably. I usually get a token in the first 3 runs on a toon, or not at all. Switching it up is a viable strategy. And no need to be cross, I thought I was agreeing with you. @jaazaniah1,…
Persistence is more key that luck in obtaining Justice Gear. I'm a fairly casual player, but I was able to gear up all of my 40s within a year plus change, once I realized you could share tokens between your heroes. Get several 40s and run each on the rampage once or twice a day. You'll get tokens, I guarantee it. I'm…
Iniquity is great, but it helps to have Conviction for a quick self heal that doesn't demand retargeting. Also, Compassion is a must. I assume you have a high PRE, right? Healing gear offers some nice bonuses as well.
One additional, helpfully intended recommendation. If you're DPS, do not wear Gloves of the Defender against Cosmics. Especially against Qwyjibo and Teleiosaurus. You'll get aggro every time and turn the beast, drawing aggro from the tanks and murdering healers and your fellow DPS. I didn't realize this until the second…
Yeah, but at rank 3, Resurgence heals 100 percent of your health and gives you 1200 temporary hp. And if you have Regeneration, it still increases your healing rate temporarily. Not to shabby. It just doesn't crit anymore. Big deal.
Thanks. I was afraid Thrash wouldn't be effected by healing bonuses, just bleeds. Resurgence isn't effected by healing bonuses, I don't believe. Yes, I did mean Bite. Does Frenzy get bleed generation rate now as Shred? I missed that, admittedly. I'm glad to hear it, though. I have one Bestial build, and refused to take…
Flow, thanks for taking time to articulate your concerns. I like the mechanic you mentioned, where there's a proportionate decrease of some kind per bleed. That could balance nicely. Not having gone to PTS yet, there's one thing I'm unclear on. Do healing bonuses apply to Thrash's healing like they do for DE healing? If…
Just curious, but why are you guys so determined to nerf Thrash's healing component when it takes at least a full 8 seconds to get that many bleeds going? That's a huge investment in set up time. You feel it should be cut in half? I submit that it's already pretty balanced. Especially with a Regeneration or Bestial DPS…
Please provide a retcon with this patch. My FF bestial tank character has Bite as their sole bleed inducer to stack enrage. I love the new changes, but they do necessitate a rebuild. Thanks for the consideration.
Kaiserin, I love that you not only tell us what, but also why. That's class act. Whether I agree with a change or not, your transparency is genuinely appreciated.
Thanks for the guide, Silverspar. I hope everyone reads this. Twice! I've seen people post links to it in chat. I'll plug this guide too, if no one else is and it seems that the Leroy Perkins types are especially uninformed.
I have nothing helpful to add, I'm just writing to express my condolences. I imagine it's particularly frustrating that it was an F&I token. I feel your pain, hero. It might be nice if Cryptic allowed such hard earned loot to find its way into your overflow bag.
PS. I make no claims to being a build guru. At best, I'm an enthusiastic amateur who spends too much time listening to build gurus. My main, though, has been a TK blades guy for years. I wish Flow would chime in, for instance. He always shares helpful and interesting insights.
Instead of Ego Choke, please consider either Mental Storm (which stacks up to 4 ego dmg debuffs) or Ego Placate with Svegali's Guile Advantage. The latter offers a 10 percent damage debuff while the advantage buffs your whole team's damage by 10 percent. I'm not a huge fan of Exploit Opening from the Ego Spec Tree. I find…
Hey, brother! I was going to recommend taking Ruthless over Slaughter. But you're a tank relying on Siphoning Strikes. Since you're using TK shield's awesome Telekinetic Reinforcement, you may want to put some more points in to get rank 2. You should rank up Invulnerability too. You could do this by getting rid of Ego…
Biff said it all so perfectly, I won't quote or reiterate. I'd like to add my voice though, for whatever that's worth. Cryptic, please lower the prices on Heroic gear to something more reasonable. Like half what you're charging now. You don't need to squeeze your endgame players for more cash. Who do you think opens your…
This is great until you get a SNR issue and disconnect. This has happened to me twice now, as I try to get my alts into OV gear. I'd never deny players their kill. I go out of my way to provide that every time. But I'm stuck in the middle because of some bad apples.
Thanks so much for the guide, Pantagruel. I had inferred much of this from the PTS discussions, but the mechanics eluded me. Now I can finally try TA without embarrassing myself and/killing my team. Thanks again.
Great, heroes! You guys just HAD to point that the Distinguished Healing Gloves criticals were affecting more than heals. My tank is SO disappointed! :-/ So each piece of Distinguished Gear will require 36 runs through Teleios Ascendant? Am I correctly interpreting the information provided? Thanks, Cryptic, for most of…
