So you can't have Sparkle Aura and Sparkle Aura, but you can have Sparkle Aura/Krackle Aura/etc all together. Or Krackle Hands, Krackle Torso, Krackle Head, and Krackle Aura all at once to overlap the same effect multiple times (this is what I do with the rainbow bind, it looks crazy). There are already 8-aura people running around ingame, I'm sure.

It turns out that with even the crappiest super-PRE build, Celestial Conduit is overpoweringly strong healing in alerts. Like, just with heirloom gear, Aura of Primal Majesty and Compassion, I'm doing 900-1000 HP a tick. And with Illumination, I can do that to my entire party at once, almost perpetually. I was able to keep people alive while they were attacking into Cimitiere's block. Also, pubbies absolutely love anyone who keeps them from dying in an obvious way.

Is there no healing that can be done with gun models? It all looks like it is mind-healing or hand-healing? Would love to do something like the Medic from TF2.

Is there anyone else the bind worked for who can double-check this? Because if so, that sucks. Though I imagine the reason they changed it is because they probably didn't intend for power-recoloring binds to also affect auras. There's a chance that, if it was changed, someone could figure out a new command to do the same thing maybe?

Doctor-based support builds do great at shielding and defense, but hell if you're going to find a reliable heal that doesn't involve mystical energies/the target getting hit. I guess I'm just weird; I'm a guy who was originally quite into the PRE primary tree, but now after learning all the cool stuff others can do (INT's defense ignore, END's high health, STR's defense and super-powerful severity) it just seems a little too mellow for solo-based builds.

Unless something was literally patched just this day, the binds should still change your aura color - considering that going into the power menu and setting all your powers to be the same color will also do it for your aura.

So I have my power armor character up to 30 and I'm feeling a bit fragile. I have endurance as my PSS and dexterity/intelligence as my SSSes. I was thinking about dropping the intelligence for constitution instead but I'm not sure how much that would help. I can't run 3 toggles at once even with endurance and intelligence, but I don't know how much things change once you get to 40 and get level 40 equipment, any advice?

Here's some questions 1) Are you using Wrist Bolter and Automated Assault? With that, you can run Mini Gun and Micro Munitions with little difficulty. 2) What passive are you using? I have on Colbert Invuln and by toggling Reconstruction Circuits with Micro Munitions, I can tank rather well even without threat advantages as the raw damage from Mini Gun, Micro Munitions and Plasma Beam is absolutely spectacular.

The patch tomorrow changes it so you can stack multiples of the same aura, even in different colors. Rainbow bind still seems to work on the test server from what I'm told, so this just makes it possible to be even more of an eyesore. I'm going to be spending a lot of zen on Krackle Aura packs, I guess. Also seems to bring a new Victorian costume pack with it? The dress from it is huge, I can't imagine what the kicking animations look like with geometry that big.

In every instance I've used it as a secondary, Con's made a huge difference. Decently statted Con is going to give you around 40% more health to work with. Something like that is the difference between an unblocked charge attack being a minor setback and a life ender.

Targeting Computer, this is a damage dealing character, not a tank. I'm just not sure if it's viable to spread out a bit with stats with level 40 equipment. Can you get away with some extra constitution/ego with the extra mod slots level 40 equipment has or do you need to focus all of those slots on your primary/secondary super stats?

You can definitely get away with level 40 equipment focusing a bit on other stats. Personally, I'd actually drop Dex from your current End/Dex/Int set. You're really not getting everything you can out of the Dex stat if it's not a primary. Inversely, it's really easy to boost your critical chances to high enough without dex, especially given you're using Targeting Computer (already +5% chance after you lock on) and the fact that top-tier gear can be specifically engineered to boost your severity and chance. Keeping INT, meanwhile, is going to maintain more of your energy efficiency and provide more of a damage boost through Concentration.

Automated Assault makes Wrist Bolter into a handslot toggle, which makes it (with Kickback) build energy while firing your actual weapons. It means your handslot rarely gets to do anything cool, but whatever, you can just rank up Wrist Bolter and never ever stop shooting.

Is Automated Assault on Wrist Bolter bugged? I was under the impression that you were not able to generate energy while maintaining toggles but lo and behold it does. I found so many bugs in this game. Like how One Hundred Hands does not proc Overdrive when it is a maintain.

Yeah, some folks seem to not like Automated Assault + Kickback - but on my PA guy, END primary, huge end pool... Micro Munitions + Minigun, with spamming of charge hand slot... works really well. Get low - turn on Wrist Bolters, keep on with micro munitions + minigun, never actually STOP attacking (sure, sure, wrist bolters is lower dps.... which matters how much in almost anything except the Forum Malvanum's duraclad round really?). But it's subjectively not for very long, and then I'm back to full and can charge-spam again for a good while. Moreso when I am spec'd in Avenger Mastery. Heck, I lose more DPS in Ranged mode when I have to block/heal (cancel toggles, hit heal, restart toggles). BUT my damage is higher when everything is on. And that's only in harder stuff like Gravitar mostly anyway - a geared out 40 should have NO trouble with mobs in unity missions in my experience. OTOH - he used to be Int primary, with overdrive (which actually goes off REC anyway), and Circle of Arcane Power prior to 40. It was HARD to run out of energy then. Might have to try that again, the defense penetration was pretty spiffy.

jerichojx posted:Is Automated Assault on Wrist Bolter bugged? I was under the impression that you were not able to generate energy while maintaining toggles but lo and behold it does. To be totally clear, the Kickback thing is this: Kickback sets up a buff that pops itself for energy. The buff procs when you hit with your energy builder, and pops when you hit something else. Automated Assault means that you're hitting with your EB on a regular basis, so Kickback keeps setting off the buff - but you're also hitting with your other powers, so it keeps going off, too. It's not a bug, just a secret way to make Automated Assault good.

Wow, thanks for the explanation. I did not realise that it wasn't the EB that was proccing the energy but it was a buff that procs off of other attacks. As mentioned, I am really impressed by PA's damage potential even in Hybrid Mode with Invuln. There is a huge difference when I go full blast with Mini, Micro and Plasma Beam. The boss's HP just melts. In true Colbert fashion, the relentless assault of the World's Most Famous Catholic withers even the most stoic supervillain! jerichojx fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Dec 13, 2013 |

The backlash when they hinted that they'd release Vibora as a paid expansion probably shot that notion down pretty heavily. In retrospect it probably wouldn't have been a bad 5 or maybe even 15 dollars if they had included just a bit more, maybe thrown in some costume parts with the package.

The highpoints for running vibora included: 1. Running the Apocalypse for the first time 2. Being a cool location with a nice, darker atmosphere 3. Therakiel's Temple, and its bosses being fairly well designed Running the apocalypse repeatedly becomes a chore, especially when you have multiple other characters, and the sequence of Vibora missions to unlock Therakiel's Temple (and also Unity 2) involves a bunch of grindy and/or buggy missions. It was a big addon, but it probably was the right move to not charge money for it - people probably would've been incredibly angry if they had paid money for this.

Yeah, but Vibora came out before the adventure packs were a thing. A good part of the backlash was that Champs was even more content starved (if that was even possible- I mean, look at the game NOW  ) at that point and here was some much needed content the and we had to pay for it?It was a really dumb move on Cryptic's part- of course most likely forced by Atari. But still, really dumb.
