Bluhman posted:Gas pellets certainly isn't the only one. Aforementioned Strafing Run attack is another heinous culprit of this same mechanics exploit. There's also mines, sigils, zombies, and pets in general you can call up and have attack enemies without targets noticing you and breaking stealth. In fact, you can even combine this with a self-forcefield/damage absorb effect to even stop damage from uncovering you. If you've got a way to build energy without hitting other targets and just keep stealth on at all times, you can become an invisible damage support unit. I'm picturing a hero whose only mechanic is to stealth and summon up a horde of velociraptors. That would be the most annoying character to fight in that zombie survival mode. If you could get a full team of them it'd make for hilarious hijinks too. Just find a niche to hide in in the circle and then have everyone stand outside it out of the zombies pathing before summoning hordes of dinosaurs.

Oh lawdy Gadgeteering is fun! I was giggling and grinning the whole time I spent leveling this character:quote:PowerHouse http://powerhouse.nullware.com/ I have the two empty slots because I didn't want to take the boring rez/self rez, and currently have two active offense powers that I don't really need and usually forget to throw. I tried all three of the on-next-hit powers but they're apparently really buggy and the hostile effect goes on YOU instead of on targets. I guess I could take Lightning Reflexes and IDF or some poo poo I dunno.

Here we go. Again, edited slightly to remove boring parts, mostly the ranting while I went 'you've gotta see this' to a friend in tells. I will say this is someone who was featured on Club Caprice Bingo just recently, though I won't say who.quote:[Team] Idiot: the whole point of having a master in CO rp is for sexual relations, outside the game its different but here, it's pretty cut and dried After that I basically just told them 'you are the worst, most offensive RPer I've met, and in addition you are an idiot with a huge ego'. They tried fake-niceties and maintaining non-sexual contact for the few minutes after that but before I ignored them. To add to this, it should be noted that this came at the end of a do-over scene, because she angled for pointless sex fairly quickly in the first shot and I wasn't interested in that. They claimed to not be either, but the exact same thing happened the second time around. This erupted when I went 'yeah, no' to that one.

Also if a fellow player beats a mind controlled Wolverine by simply TK lifting them, Wolverine was actually filled with instant knockout needle grenades the whole time.

I just noticed that Telepathic Reverberation triggers off of Disoriented, which is the basic status effect applied by Heavy Weapons attacks. Gonna try to make use of that because gosh Heavy Weapons is rough on you energy-wise.

Not that many Might powers apply disorient, though (i.e. none of the really powerful ones). Which is a shame, because I find the prospect of a classic super-strength hero with the ability to make minds break a lot more attractive than some guy with a big sword with the power to make minds break. Probably the best way to get it to trigger in general is to hit the target with some Ego Sprites: It's a good, consistent damage trigger that only requires a single press to apply to a wide number of enemies. Ego Blast gets special mention, because TP reverb, combined with is advantage, makes it extremely damaging - about on par with Ice Blast.

Freshening up one of my original L40 characters, since I had two free retcons and some nice gear ready to equip, I decided to try a presence-based "tank mage" with the Protector specialty perk that grants extra threat when in Hybrid mode and using Aura of Radiant Protection. While it was certainly very hard to die, DPS was poor and I really only felt useful on the scrubbiest of teams because I had a lot of trouble getting and keeping aggro. I retconned again around Int/Dex/Ego and am gonna go with this - the support aspect is still pretty strong when required, but my damage output is much higher and the character is a lot more engaging to play:quote:PowerHouse http://powerhouse.nullware.com/ Lunge in, everything's feared and maybe drop Sigils of Weakness (really pretty enormous -36% to -54% damage debuff depending on mode), Evasive Maneuvers away, Dark Transfusion, Planar Fracture, Skarn's Bane, Lifedrain, poo poo dies e: durr had some wrong picks in that posted earlier, corrected Flesh Forge fucked around with this message at 06:30 on Sep 12, 2013 |

AoPM outside of a support role hardly does anything for your teammates and doesn't do much for you aside from give you more energy. And as nice as more energy is, taking a damage/tanking passive is a shitload better.

OneEightHundred posted:AoPM outside of a support role hardly does anything for your teammates and doesn't do much for you aside from give you more energy. And as nice as more energy is, taking a damage/tanking passive is a shitload better. Well yes I'd only run it in support mode, in which Sigils of Ebon Weakness debuffs -17% damage per sigil (and I've discovered they stack up to 5) and also heal shitloads with Lifedrain/Advantage (whatever it's called, I forget). Energy is really not a problem with Dark Transfusion, which is a fabulous power I think I'm going to be taking on a lot more future characters (with the advantage it also buffs all damage +50%).

Another tip along those lines is that if you take Swinging and spam it enough during an alert start, occasionally it'll be active when the bubble breaks and you'll go flying into the cutscene.

I've also seen some of the travel powers with inertia (ice slide, for example) send people gliding past the enemies, aggroing them all during the cutscene. Sadly, the news post mentions that the unlimited dance ball in the lockboxes "only causes self to dance" and so probably won't be any good for that sort of thing.

Welp my Munitions character came out pretty drat adequate. With mercenary gear (10-15g each on auction) I have something like 60% dodge, 50% avoidance - but with effects from Quarry and Lead Tempest/advantage employed, that jumps to 72% dodge/74% avoidance, along with healing from BCR/advantage, and 15 seconds of godmode with Masterful Dodge. And that's in offense mode. When did Munitions and Quarry get so strong? They certainly weren't anything like this at release time.quote:PowerHouse http://powerhouse.nullware.com/

So, I recently jumped back into this game after a long hiatus... are there any updated versions of the guides in the OP? I took a look at them to figure out how good the new Power Armor chest slot heal was, but half the powers in the set are missing from the guide. I kinda wanna make a Munitions/Single Blade character using the munitions for range and abusing the Bleed on SMG Burst Also I had a bunch of zen for some reason, I may have bought some the last time I played and forgot about it or something. But I picked up the Black Talon transformation power with it for shits and giggles, and it's surprisingly very fun. I wish there was a normal energy builder like the Assault Cannon in that form.

I think the bleed on SMG burst is pretty low chance (15% iirc) if you aren't real close to the guy where it becomes 100%. Not to mention that unless you use quarry, you cant benefit both your munitions/single blade at the same time, which may not matter Quarry is awesome. Put something together for us with http://powerhouse.nullware.com/powerhouse.html and I should be able to help fine tune it.

I think it's per tick in that instance, using it with form of the swordsman on a group in the powerhouse got me up to 8 Focus in one maintain.
