Adept - how many slots did you put on hasten to make it near perminant and do you have a script to make it auto cast?
You going to do the level 34 Respec?Quote:

I just CTRL+Click it and that's all. It starts back up again as soon as it's available. ;)
i have 5 lv35 Sos on mine and counted 10 seconds where i had no hasten, so either u slot 6, or wait till lv37 to slot 5 lv40 SOs, i opted for lv37, i can use the slot somewhere elsehttps://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gifQuote:

OK, I did the math and the math says 4 SO's should bring Hasten to 105 seconds recharge time. EVERY single thing I read says 6 SO's. So I go to copy Aum to the test server and there's the new patch #3. 147mb download before I can test my hypothesis I think it wrong.
Math:
Hasten
5 min recharge time.
2 minute duration.
SO = 33% modifier.
((((300 seconds).77).77).77).77)=105 seconds.
Thing is, I know it can't be right. 3 SO's I have now is supposed to be 136 seconds which is only 16 seconds beyond the duration of Hasten but I know I wait almost 45sec to a minute for recharge.
Too much math! Head imploding...Quote:

I remember reading somewhere that you can get a badge for leading a TF? Has anyone ever gotten that? Just wondering.

I did the math wrong. Actual formula should be (((300).67).67).67)=91 sec with only 3 SO's. This isn't reality at all.
The only way I can see hasten neededing 6 SO's is if the SO's are only giving a bonus of 16%. (((((300).84).84).84).84).84).84)=105 sec and 5 SO's=125 sec. Methinks that warcry is wrong when it says the SO has a modifier of 33%.
Just for giggles, I did a google search on "city of heroes how to slot hasten" and got returned this page on the first page of results. :eek2:
NTW, 5 RechRed on Hasten gives a 7 second downtime, from a couple of other entries on the topic.
Perma-Hasten is always referred to as 6-slotted, with some mentinoing that it actually launches again just before it runs out.
so the question is... does Hasten hasten itself?? https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
So all this talk of the hasten power has confused me. What is the conclusion we have all come to about slotting it to make it as permanent as possible?Quote:

Hasten is slotted with Recharge Rate Reduction enhancements (clock icon as generic). ;)Quote:

That should get you up in level a bit. ;)
Pats are playing KC tonight on Monday Night Football. Chances are pretty slim you'll be seeing me tonight.
So you are saying that you have other interests besides CoH... whatever! Of course I can completely write off this season, being a Dolphins fan and all.Quote:

Well, inept's "instant death" devouring earth mission was interesting. :eek2:
I've never seen a mission where all the mobs are +2 to the PC and where every single foe can "sleep/mez/root/freeze/stun/disorient/fart you to death" like that. Can't wait to solo it when I get it later. :p
As an aside, I spoke with Ajani a bit afterwards and asked him if his wife would be interested in joining our SG. It appeared like he was actually planning on this a bit in the sense that he wanted her, serina (sp?, the illusions controller on the team last night) to experience our team in person when he asked us to invite her in last night.
If anyone has any objections to me inviting her into the SG, let me know quickly.
Silencio has opened a TS account for Ajani, so I'll give that to him and invite his wife in the coming days.
That mission was brutal.... damn the debt! What I really hated was that at one point I was actually trying to get outta death's way, and I was surrounded by like 15 guys (not to mention those damn dirty monkeys), and I just couldn't run outta the grouping. Grrrrrrrrr! Anyway, most likely tomorrow I'll be able to get rid of some of the debt. Tonight, unlikely.
I went out and did the Mark IV mission so I could buy from him in Founder's Falls afterwards. There is like a 3K bonus at the end of the easy mission, FYI. ;)
BTW guys, it just occured to me that we should think about expanding the SG's borders a bit. We could keep WinDrivers members as being the only ones with Invite privileges, but make it available for any player characters (PCs) which pass muster with the the entire "committee".

I was getting lag once we engaged the baddies due to all the freakin attacks they generated and them doubling in number somehow.

btw guys, any mission where the team will be 6+ members is supposed to have +2 baddies in it...i remember reading that on a CoH forum...so what we experienced was normal due to the size of the team (and appropriate for my lv). i solo these missions, because there is just the occasional LT, and most minions are all same lv, and +1 lv with no bosses, at least not when i solo (unless its a particular arrest whatshisname mission)
but honestly, most of those deaths were caused by our own carelessness i think. we're so used to just breezing thru that it has become instinct to jump in the crowd and expect them to bend over n take it. we are going to have to play with a certain amount of tactics from now on when we do these missions to keep the death toll at its lowest.

I think that a second controller with pets will be useful later on, esp when she gets phantasm. Did anyone see her second powerset? She mostly hung back and let her pets do their job and popped inviso on us.
They are both pretty quiet but Ajani does buff a lot and really keeps up doing his job which is very important. And with the speed boost and hasten my powers are cycling nicely and my endurance is unending.
SB rocks, always has, i used nova twice in the same battle, now thats recovery, and he told he hasn't even slotted it with end recovery enhancements...imagine.

I also use my holds a lot of the time that Stale is trying to herd guys. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's premature.
In tough fights I think we should do exactily this:
1. Wait for buffs.
2. Stale goes in, aggro's, Carb waits behind or stays right next to Stale.
3. Stale calls for all to come in/snipe and or for holds.
All snipes should target the baddies that mez or sleep 1st. All snipers should target their controllers 1st as they are what kills us. I think that from now on, Stalemate should call the battle order and calls who to snipe. He's the boss and we all listen to him, if that's OK with all of you. :)
Also, we need to begin stocking strength of will. Stale will use them before entering battle so he can tank without getting mezzed. Once the snipers clear the enemy controllers we are in the clear.
