This is the one thing I'm not a fan of when it comes to Rage: HL can survive on very little power, but Rage is power hungry as gently caress when it comes to DPS.

Yeah, I've gotten very comfortable with my weapon (two-handed) to compensate. I'll do the doom spin for regular encounters and then use retch+enrage 2-3 Times throughout a major one. Of course, if I have amazing pot and recharges then I'll go all out.

Also, any word on if the update is coming today? I can't wait to waste my marks on trinkets/masks/weapons/jewelry.

Hey, I was an EU player back when this came out, thought I'd come back and see what's up, can someone tell me what's the deal with this prosieben bs? I'm pretty sure I'd bought the Green Lantern expansion before, but I recovered my soe usernames and I have like 6 for some reason, no idea which one it's on, any idea if I'll be able to recover my characters and junk if I ever find out which one has it?

Holy poo poo, if you can chain One Handed and Shield, I will be so happy.

Someone uploaded a screengrab of the flowchart:



Shield goes to Two-Handed and Dual Pistol, and nothing combos to Shield (I assume because Shield is locked behind DLC access).

One of the points they made during the stream is that they tried to have each weapon combo out to both a ranged and a melee option, AND they tried to couple combos with animations that looked decent together. So some of the options seem kind of wonky at first.

e: This is all still a work in progress, they have months to tweak and even make deeper changes, that's the whole point of them doing it this way, instead of unveiling it when it's almost done and pretty much set in stone - there's time to react to player feedback with this so none of it is concrete yet.

Being that Handblaster and Dual Pistols are my favorite weapons in the game, I am glad they combo into each other. This looks really cool, can't wait to see more.

Dual Pistol combos into Hand Blaster, but HB can't combo into DP. Only Brawling or Bow. :(

In this case it'd be Dual Pistol, Hand Blaster, Brawling, Martial Arts, Dual Pistol.

60fps mode is on by default on PS4 now, which is WEIRD to get used to.

Edit:
Also for feat unlocks you need to log in with one character at least once before their feats can be shared between every other character. And yes the 'feat achieved' box pop up goes on forever.

Yeah, but Bow combos back into Dual Pistol. Alternatively, Brawling combos into MA, which can combo into either DP or HB.

I now want to know the most efficient combo chain that allows you to cycle through all the weapons.

No, you can't. Hand Blaster combos into Brawling or Bow, and then the combo ends. It is not an infinite-combo system like Light has. You get to switch to one alternate weapon and the hit that weapon does ends the combo.

Comboing through would require a UI change and the ability to equip every weapon at once.

Ah ok, that makes sense. Would this mean that you'll end up with a different weapon equipped, or would you retain the weapon that started the combo?

The latter.

Basically, as the feature is currently set up (and they said they're showing it this early so they can get feedback/tweaks), you're rewarded for further investments in one weapon by allowing it to gain extra combo which is tuned to be competitive with clip damage, and will have some timing-based windows where you get triple crit percentage (allowing, yes, for 100+% crits) on any powers used during those windows. It's going to encourage more weapon use, keep things from being "use the same 4 attacks over and over", and allow for a bonus that any role can benefit from, since it sounds like by "crit percentage" they also mean "healing/power crits" too.

When they did the live stream this question came up and they confirmed that it was only damage buffs, but they've gotten so much feedback on this particular issue that they're taking suggestions for what kinds of side-effect buff to implement for other roles.

I wouldn't suggest reading the Weapon Mastery WIP thread, it's almost 70 pages long and at least 50 of them are just arguments over the jump canceling change. Apparently it's a NGE-level change and will ruin the game and all the elite vets will quit over it.

Ah man, that makes me a little sad but I understand why they have to take that route. Only so much you can do with an engine.

Also people should get in the Mumble more often. It gets lonely in there.

I'm about to hit 30 on my first character, what should I be doing once I hit it to gear up?. I hear people talking about Tier X gear on here and assume it works sort of like WoW where you gear up to run tougher stuff over and over, is that the case or is there more to it than "run these alerts 'til you have the gear to run these slightly tougher alerts" ? Does it lock you out of them 'til you have the gear level needed or are there alerts I should be avoiding as a fresh 30?.

Just hit 30 and did a few duos with my friend and a couple of them were surprisingly tough for a Rage DPS/Light controller combo, some fights We'd end up having to use healing barrels a bunch to survive. I ended up being able to get my tier 1 Chest/legs/back right away and then bought a PvP weapon and found out inside the instance that it doesn't work at all in them. Luckily I was Light and weapons are for chumps.

I'm a 30 villain healer. I stopped being able to level because I ran out of ability to kill things - turns out when you spec pure healing, your DPS goes to poo poo.

I wouldn't recommend you buy role specific T1 gear since you're only likely to be in T1 for about 0.3 seconds (levelling gets you about 80 MoT these days) and after that the solo content/duos/alerts drop role specific stuff which is much better.
