Section Z posted:Is the "Swallow Tail Cut" advantage on Scything blade that causes percentage damage still cool? I remember trying it and liking it, but had some misgivings about it (Doesn't on Supervillain or higher, only applies in the first place if it is the first Bleed effect on a target, damage decreases per tick). STC counts as a bleed when used with Reaper's Embrace, so you get to consume 6 bleeds instead of the normal 5 if you max your bleed count, which means more damage. At least, that was the case when I tried it a year ago

How come you're main stat is dex instead of strength? Seems odd in anything to do with enrage. Not so much critiquing as I am genuinely curious. Also, the Pounce advantage seems like a waste of advantage points in my opinion.

WarLocke posted:Current line of brainstorming for Meteor Maiden: So once upon a time I had a DPS Force guy. It says in the FC tooltip that if you cut the cost in half with an energy form, you can't use energy forms for a bit. BUT Circle of Arcane Power counts as an energy form and doesn't get canceled out by the FC cost reduction gimmick. My rotation was basically CoAP-> FC -> CoAP -> FC and so on. That way I could focus on Dex and Ego for outrageous crits and then secondary End and sit on CoAP to regenerate energy, which it did pretty quickly. Just some food for though.

The Thermal Reverberation idea is good, but from my experience the Clinging Flames off Eruption is prone to not activating when you really want it to. If you still want to pump strength but don't want to make it your primary, you could always just primary a stat that has specialization skills that are based off of secondary stats. I think the Int tree has one that increases the bonuses of your secondary stats by 20% or something, which would work well with that approach. Don't know what to say about Ward/Vin though. You could do brawler or something

Yeah I know. I'm determined to make it work somehow. I just experimented with the Juggernaut talent in the STR spec tree and it seemed to work pretty well, but I didn't have any damage of which to speak. Now I'm on to PRE + Compassion, but I end up spamming Protection Field and Mindful Reinforcement more than actually fighting, at least in the powerhouse. I suppose next is PFF plus some kind of dodge increase, then PFF and pure STR... the possibilities are endless.

They changed Cleave and Arc of Ruin into a 360 attack, and this trend of giving powers some kind of extra little self buff (Reckless, Willpower, Furious etc) makes me happy. They really gave HW a lot of love in this patch, and not even in terms of thematic stuff for Rockstar.

You get Skarn's Bane at 3 and Hex of Suffering at 40 and basically have to rely entirely on Eldritch Blast whenever Sigils of the Storm is on cooldown until then. Thank god for Alerts.

If they swapped in Sigils of Arcane Runes at 11 instead if Pillar of Poz (or just swapped PoP for something that wasn't useless) it'd be a much better powerset to level. But the power order is just horrible.

Man, all this talk about PFF makes me super happy, because PFF is The One True Tanking Passive. Like, right now I'm doing Super Stats: Level 6: Intelligence (Primary) Level 10: Dexterity (Secondary) Level 15: Strength (Secondary) Talents: Level 1: The Hero Level 6: Agile Level 9: Field Ops Training Level 12: Brilliant Level 15: Mighty Level 18: Jack of All Trades Level 21: Command Training Powers: Level 1: Reaper's Touch Level 1: Blade Tempest (Rank 2, Crashing Crescendo, Challenging Strikes) Level 6: Parry (The Elusive Monk) Level 8: Thunderbolt Lunge (Crippling Challenge) Level 11: Eye of the Storm (Rank 2, Rank 3) Level 14: Masterful Dodge Level 17: Molecular Self-Assembly Level 20: Dragon's Wrath (Rank 2, Rank 3) Level 23: Personal Force Field (Rank 2, Rank 3) Level 26: Inertial Dampening Field (Rank 2, Rank 3) Level 29: Nanobot Swarm Level 32: Lock N Load (Rank 2, Two Smoking Barrels) Level 35: Bountiful Chi Resurgence (Rank 2, Resurgent Reiki) Level 38: Unbreakable Travel Powers: Level 6: Jet Pack (Rank 2) Level 35: Specializations: Intelligence: Enlightened (3/3) Intelligence: Tactician (2/2) Intelligence: Revitalize (2/3) Intelligence: Detect Vulnerability (3/3) Protector: Fortified Gear (3/3) Protector: Bulwark (2/2) Protector: Debilitating Challenge (2/2) Protector: Defensive Expertise (3/3) Brawler: The Glory of Battle (3/3) Brawler: Penetrating Strikes (2/2) Brawler: Finishing Blow (3/3) Brawler: Setup (2/2) Mastery: Intelligence Mastery (1/1) with gear for like ~60% INT and about 30% STR and one R5 DEX enhancement somewhere in there. It's basically a build centered around having an Active Defense up 99% of the time. ADs like Unbreakable and Masterful Dodge are awesome compared to Field Surge from my experience, since FS can disappear almost immediately, and using it starts a cool-down on my other more useful ADs. And when my PFF does start getting low, I can EotS and keep my PFF from taking too much damage so it can refill on its own, at least for long enough to have an AD come off cool-down. I have Reaper's Touch left over from using the Sentry Tree with Twist of Fate, as ToF is bugged so that it doesn't work with AoE Energy Builders. I settled with Protector because it gives that huge recharge bonus to ADs and lets me not have to sit in Tank stance. Brawler has ) it's comically effective. It could be better if I dropped IDF, but rolling around in Hybrid gives me more damage from stats and IDF is really helpful for PFF so whatever.And before this I was doing a Heavy Weapons straight STR build which was rad, and I had Enraged instead of IDF, which let me do spectacular damage and still tank effectively while also not getting knocked around, like, ever. Point being, PFF is really really flexible for a freeform. You can do a lot with it, and you don't have to worry about dumb poo poo like HP and forcing yourself to take CON as a SS to make Defiance work. You just have to finesse it a little, unless you are ridiculously invested in other kinds of resistance (Laser Knight/Phalanx Whatever on Energy Shield + Juggernaut abuse + Warden/Vindicator feedback loop + IDF and poo poo throw Defensive Combo in there too), then you just have to hit Field Surge once in a long while. lezard_valeth posted:Thoughts? I know this is from a week ago, but I'd also suggest going with Endurance for the Kickback advantage. You could switch Plasma Beam for a non-hand slot power like another useful power like Chest Beam or just something silly like a Rocket Launcher, which can be timed with Orbital Strike to hit at about the same time  . And I have also found that having one stat dedicated to energy management (int/end/rec) is usually enough to warrant taking a stat to shore up whatever weakness you feel you have. Also, INT mastery in conjunction with what I'm assuming is Enlightened is good, but it could be a lot better if you took talents that also add to your non-SS stuff imo.

Flesh Forge posted:I don't get this, you don't have any ranged. It's for the 8% crit that I can keep up pretty much full time between 2SB and Revitalize. Like, I always have that buff up (as long as I'm paying attention.) I used to make sure I blocked every ~8 seconds to keep Force Sheath up, and now I just have to remember to auto-attack once every 6 for Revitalize. Super easy. Flesh Forge posted:I have done this with PA/Shoulder Launcher and Orbital Strike and it owns very hard I just used good ol' fashioned Rocket. Shoulder Launcher has a 20% knock-back and base Rocket has none, and with Anvil of Dawn, having knock-back is bad. Also, Rocket has a bigger AoE, and a cool-down for when Molecular Self-Assembly wants to feed me energy.

And MSA used to be the only Energy Unlock I could use, since I don't think there were any other good ones for PA back in those days. Back when there was no Overdrive, and I think Thermal Reverb was still tied to Presence .

lezard_valeth posted:Thanks to both replies! I have put the PA tank build on hold in the meantime while I familiarise myself a bit more with the spec trees. Right now I made a Munitions DPS character and I must say Munitions tree is really fun and I now understand why a few of my friends spammed Lead Tempest. I always wanted a character with Breakaway Shot because Kevin Poe made it look so awesome, but powerwise it's a bit underwhelming (specially since it only hits the enemy once, while Kevin Poe hits twice or more if I'm not mistaken). I haven't bothered with any of the villain powers, but it looks like it's just a regular charge up AoE. If it's for a theme build then just go for it, because having fun is the best. It's really hard to gently caress up a freeform character if you hit on all the key power types (passives, toggles, single target, AoE etc.)

Flesh Forge posted:I don't agree, I think Marvel Heroes does this kind of thing much better in concept (Daredevil keeps up with Thor reasonably well e.g.). Aside from the pure powergamer outlook on it that you're talking about, which is a question of character system design, I'm more talking about the presentation of content. If Level One Billion Superman (aka a fat guy eating Doritos behind a keyboard) wants to go punch gangbangers in Nuevo Manhattan then the content should be interesting and at least somewhat rewarding and challenging for him. If Level 10 Squirrel Girl (aka another fat guy in his computer cave wearing a diaper) wants to go punch Galactus in the dick then again, it should be interesting and reasonably practical and rewarding to do. Duder my reading comprehension is not very sharp right now; what exactly are you describing? A game with zero "upward" progression, or more creativity regarding story telling? Maybe the examples are throwing me off, but I have been scrutinizing this comment since you posted it like 18 hours ago.

The only thing left for the CO character editor to fix is the waist and mass scale for my awesome lady characters, since wearing rad armor and having a stupidly small waist is the worst. And the mass slider does basically nothing unless your character is a dude, in which case you can go from stick-man to marshmallow. LordSaturn posted:FF is advocating for a game where all content is playable by all players. Playable in the sense of "allowed to" and in the sense of "appropriate challenge and reward structures". Okay that makes sense.

I've started questing (again) for leveling recently. They really did make a lot of cool missions and interesting characters, and everything Gadroon has been my favorite. One thing I liked as well was that ~14-20 or so you could go the Mojave route or the Canada route. That combined with AP's keep things from getting stale too quickly. Flesh Forge posted:Exactly, I'm not saying there should be no "upward" progression, but the game should not be a literal train track that you can never get off of. If you want to take your almost-max-level character to the noob zone and finish leveling there (or even post-level cap, or maybe there should be no level cap Yeah "levels" are kind of archaic at this point. I am all for some kind of power-scale, but god drat D&D was like 50 years ago.

lezard_valeth posted:On Conviction, I see a lot of people recommending it, yet I can't properly test it on the powerhouse. If you are at 25% Hp and pop conviction, does it heal you for the amount stated + 15% due to the increase on Hp (meaning that after using it you should sit somewhere around 40% Hp?) If not, what makes it such a great heal if you don't have Pre? The temporary hp is just a buffer. You'd heal, the 15% hp would show up, but then would disappear as soon as you took damage.

Also, have you thought about using Quarry as a passive? You wouldn't get the energy discount on FC, but you'd get more physical damage than Shadow Form and you'd still get some non-phy damage too. And the healing adv is con based. And Quarry is awesome.

Frenzy still has some use. It hits 5 targets instead of Shreds 3, and has some really unwieldy (imo) advantage and gives you regen and crit. I am reminded of a build I did where all of my attacks involved stomping on the ground. Surprise it owned.

If you want to try single pistol, try Gageteering. All the powers are charge powers, but Experimental Blaster can do pretty amazing amounts of damage to a single target. I personally paired it with the stealth toggle from MA because it adds damage, ignores some resistance, and also lowers charge time. And Experimental Blaster has a chance to add an extra hit if you charge it for one second. With faster charge times, you get more of a charge in for 1 second AND if you pair it with Death Ray, you might get 3 hits total on a Master Villain or higher. The drawback to Death Ray is that it doubles the chance to teddy-bear something. UGH every time I talk about this game I want to start playing it again.

If you were getting cc'd while blocking I am wondering if you were blocking during the charge-up or at the last possible moment of a charge-up. If it was the latter, then I'd say that you were waiting too long to block. It might have also helped to have ranked up your block power but I really don't know about that because I've never really had a problem with too much CC. Now Brickbusters on the other hand...

I've had no trouble tanking just about everything I've run into in this game from assorted AP bosses to Onslaught villains and all alert bosses, but she really ups the ante with her damage output. I think I would have done better if I didn't qualify myself for a lunge by trying to work gimmicks, but UGH god drat. I hope the gear is worth the trouble of this raid because TA is a loving drag.

Maybe you could get some kind of AoE that doesn't have a cooldown, since it looks like you're only AoE attacks are orbital cannon and implosion engine. Then again, I don't know how good toys and bots are at AoE so you might be fine with what you have.
