So is everyone thoroughly unhappy with the new issue? Will we all have to move to WoW? Will these questions ever be answered??!?!??!?!?
The fact that we'll be getting a "Christmas" respec makes the nerf pill (so to speak) easier to swallow for Stalemate, but what I see now is even though the damage output has been increased slightly, endurance use will go up for a few Invulnerability powers, and more slots will have to be spent on defense instead of offense, putting him right back where he was before damage-wise (OK by me).
Trade-offs now would be with Unyielding instead of Unstoppable, Dull Pain might give way to Temporary Invulnerability, while Invincibility and Tough Hide would probably require 6-slots now instead of the 3 currently in them, not to mention the passive Resists too.
If I can drop a secondary powerset energy melee attack I *might* be able to put him back on track as to my plans for him, but we'll have to see after much testing and experimenting. Provoke will be traded for the new version of tanker Taunt. Hopefully this will be enough, 'cuz that's all I can see that can be done right now.
Herding will become pretty much a distant memory with the proposde changes...
Ranged attacks will be more likely to drop him too.
Add Stalemate v.8 to your lists and we'll hook up when/if I can make it. :cool:Quote:

And here I was thinking it was bad before with either the perma-Unstoppable or Unyielding Stance/Teleport routes being "it" in the way of paths to choose from for the Invulnerability primary powerset.
I have to try all this out for myself...

Update the driver and see if it makes a difference.
Further, you will never see the flicker from a monitor (well, you kinda can but you don't really). The flicker is too fast for the eye to see. Trust me on this. I swapped my monitor out to a new NEC 19" Diamondtrom and upped the refresh to 85hz and my eyes feel a ton better that when I was looking at my old monitor.
Quick question ILTU.
Is 1280x960 considered "native resolution" or is 1280x1024, either for LCD or CRT?
I have my CRT set at 1280x1024, which could explain the distortion/fussiness if 960 is considered "normal".
Refresh is 85Hz.

Now also realize that they are increasing the damage output for tankers too. Your max damage will no longer be limited to 65%. This could be a big boon to stalemate once you figure out how to capatalize on it.

With fuzzyness, the best thing to do is to try different resolutions and refresh rates to see if it goes away.

I think it would be necessary anyhow just for the switch from the Power Pool Provoke (soon to be Challenge?) to the new Tanker Taunt.Quote:

Bonfire - OMG stupid. Might be useful in a hallway, otherwise worthless.
Repulsion bomb - worthless.
Repulsion field - Might be useful if it was slotted to hit because things would get knocked back as they get near me. But mele is not my main enemy now that all baddies do massive distance damage. I.E. - worthless.
Phase shift - I have inviso and a personal force field - not worthwhile. Real end sucker too.
Smoke - good ol smoke and the 5% acc debuff on the enemy and stealth capabilities it onveys. It's a contender.
Super speed - FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
Guess which one I'm getting, cause I don't know.
I was self indulgent. Got SS. I feel like I need a seatbelt.
At respec I'm ditching flurry and grabbing smoke again.
Some comments for ILTU :)
Smoke: if it was the same thing as the Blaster Device Secondary Smoke Grenade, it was not nerfed, it was fixed. That power was so broken.
Phase Shift: I personally love this one. Has saved my Blaster's bacon several times already.
Super-Speed: I concur, I have a scrapper with SS and you get spoiled by the speed. Switching to a low level toon with no travel powers is almost unbearable. :)
I went to test, and apparently the Invulnerability changes aren't in yet. I read the post again and saw that it was coming in a few days, not that it was in place.
On a side note, it was fun playing with you guys last night! :thumbs:

started working again, physical labor is killing all laziness i had acquired :(
It just sorta happened - Told Snig to say Hi to BlackIron and Bubsy when I saw his red/white colours and checked out which SG he belonged to, and he replied with an offer to team with them. Turned out to be BlackIron/Fatespinner himself. :pQuote:

I guess that explains why the Unyielding was still Unyielding Stance. However, I just don't understand why every 2 seconds I was being put to sleep. Strange.Quote:

Didn't even know about manifestio.
Snig was a force field controller that looked like a tanker.
Also there were Boneyard, Burnt Fingers, True Phantasm, "another something" Phantasm (almost identical toons), Black Piper and another female catlike toon who's name I forget. :(
and snig was tom's toon?

So you see, it wasn't sword envy or anything last night.
I did appreciate the level (9) we did together early last night with that chicken guy and Fantasy Machine.
But I gotta say the other two levels (11) with the Stargazers was just hilariously easy and almost as enjoyable. :D
