For fist heals, the above two have mostly covered it. Definitely use Healing Sparks and Empowerment, and a second Fist builder to increase the number of HoTs you're applying. If you still need more passives, Brawler is useful because it increases your crit power. For my fist heal build I use the Issue 6 Egypt healing headpiece with the healing signet, which builds blood resources. It's a bit unreliable because the resource building is random, but it means you get a free Exquisite Corpse every now and then.

I'm Biblical ingame, and I'm just starting to come back into the game. I need help on builds. Currently I am feeling I should have 2 kind of builds for different situations in the game. I was blade/chaos before I took a break, and have been trying to mirror a solo build I found on the internet. I don't have the details on me at the moment, but it has served me so far, until I got to Tokyo, in which I got my lunch served back to me. Currently I only have level 10 rares (the veteran stuff from the item shop) with two (10.1) purples from some of the issues. I prefer close combat as oppose to distant, so if anyone has a build that's has done really well in Tokyo, I would like to hear it. Second is for the dungeons (in which I revert to a distance dps) ak/elemental. Currently I just started running elites, and wanted to see if there's a good build around ak/elemental that would make my life a bit easier in the dps role as I slowly gear up for hopefully nightmare runs. I like distance dps as it's much easier to dodge things and people don't yell at you because they keep targetting the wrong person to heal. If anyone have a better build for dps, I'm all ears for this. In short, I would like help in building a solo build for tokyo, and a range dps build for elite dungeon leading up to nm. While I stated my preference (blade/chaos) for solo, and (ak/elemental) for range, it's only because that's where most of my points went. If there's another build that is much easier or does a lot better, I'm willing to grind out the ap/sp to do so.

I don't know if any of you care, but Bioware's new IP seems to be a Secret World-ish urban fantasy RPG that might or might not be called Shadow Realms. They've put out three teaser trailers so far: Teaser 1. Teaser 2. Teaser 3. This looks alright, but mostly it makes me loving angry that TSW wasn't a single-player RPG.

There's a lot of F2P restrictions but they all disappear if you pay for a sub. I've spent two months this spring playing through all the content that I wanted to play through and it was mostly a smooth experience. While you're at it, you can use in-game coin to purchase away most of the F2P restrictions. The only one I can think of that's annoying is a limit on how much money you can have without the rest going to escrow.

Traveling in SWTOR 0. Might have to get to zone near airport. 1. Enter airport. 2. Loading. 3. In airport, enter ship. 4. Loading. 5. In ship, travel. 6. Cutscene. 7. Loading. 8. In ship, exit ship. 9. Loading. 10. In airport, leave airport. 11. Loading. 12. In town, take flight run. 13. Maybe taxi ride. TSW has the best mount system ever.

When the first teaser came out, I only got some slight TSW vibes, but wow, you could throw "Everything Is True" onto the end of #2 and #3 and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Here's hoping they flat-out rip off the setting, story, and characters, because I doubt they'll be able to do a better job.

I haven't played this game in a while, but I was recently playing through Wildstar's lovely knockoff of the Filth and it got me wondering; is Tokyo actually out, and is it any good? How worthwhile it is it to redownload the game?

Tokyo is pretty average at best, unless you're some sort of japanophile with an anime fuckpillow I suppose. While the quests are okay, there's not much content. It also introduces a bothersome shield mechanic, AEGIS, and the grind for it. Thankfully AEGIS only exists in Tokyo at the moment. I'd say TSW is worth the download if you're still playing the main quest and all that. If you're at end game, I wouldn't bother. Unless you feel a compelling urge to grind nightmares and scenarios.

Getting to the Filth-clone zones was the straw on the camel's back when it came to me quitting Wildstar. I think I just knew deep down that it would never be comparable to "and you will be reborn... in a fashion".

Would this be worth reinstalling just for the story they've released since I quit? I think I stopped playing around the time they added, um...the rocket launcher I think? I keep remembering the story and NPCs and miss the game terribly, but I burnt myself out on it so bad.

There's plenty of good issues after #2 with the rocket launcher, but you'll want to consider the cost before you take the plunge. Took a screenshot from the tsw web store; Issues 3 and 4 aren't there so I'm guessing those are free. Note though that I'm not subscribing and if you're gonna get into the issues, you'll want to subscribe which gives you a store discount of xx% and xxxx funcum cash, forgot the exact amounts.

Looked at some Wiki that said issue 2, it's probably correct since I got a vague recollection of it being the first aux weapon. Looked at subscriber benefits by the way, it's 10% discount to store and free fc cash for  for one month sub.

Shotgun and Elemental were popular choices back in the day; not sure if Blood is viable. Pistol was a thing but I believe Zepho said the build we used -- I got it from her -- relied on exploiting mechanics that have since changed.

AR/Blood rules but your group will hate you as you bring no other benefit than DPS (although with the global cooldowns to BS/DS this isn't as bad as it used to be). It's been a long time since I played it but I believe it revolved around some shenanigans involving using Fire In The Hole and constantly keeping up the buff from taking Bloodshot into the negatives.

Hey guys we are going to try and run some elite dungeons (And maybe a nightmare) on Saturday at 12pm PST. Guppy the only mumble channel I know of is a desolate wasteland that is sometimes interrupted by EvilBillMurrays grumbling something about bugs and lore. Is there another mumble we use (Is it trolls mumble?)

I'm currently playing through Issue 7, so far it's pretty good. Last train (which I think is 6 is amazing). Vanishing of Tyler (issue 5) is also amazing. I played that one mission in further analsis (so as to bypass the grindfest of issue 8 in order to get to Tokyo). So in conclusion, I think it's worth reinstalling and playing through the issues at least.

Fire in the hole bug is gone, it will consume the elemental force change when used. http://www.tswdb.com/builds/dps/dungeon-dps-build-pistolelemental/ Change shoot out to a assault rifle focus move, and there you go. You got buffs, kinda weak aoe, and great dps. Do stuff in till elemental force procs then use your rifle focus consumer. Pretty much every dps build in this game seems to be do stuff and use a focus attack with elemental force. I don't recall what rifle gets as a group buff but most are interchangeable. Shotguns get group pen buff, pistols get group crit buff, elemental gets group damage buff. You pop these often a little after the fight starts and the hp just drops. Pretty weak solo build though.

He has all of us on Steam, and as he is the only one reliably in Mumble these days, he's a good way to reach the rest of us. Mumble is a desolate wasteland because the game is a desolate wasteland these days.
