I apologize if I'm duplicating any other posts. I wasn't able to find another thread with this information. PLEASE NOTE: This is from the test server, and there are still changes being made. I don't have any reason to believe that this will change before it hits Live, but I don't have any reason to believe it won't change either.

My Thoughts on Potential Changes to Description
These descriptions are very helpful. There are a few places that I think could use a little clarification. I'm trying to look at this from the perspective of a new player, so these things might seem obvious. Alternatively, I may be wrong about how some stats work - if so, please correct me!!! (Suggested changes in red.)

• Power is required to use abilities in your Loadout, and is drained as they are preformed. You passively regenerate a percentage of your max Power every second - this amount is increased out of combat. The rate of passive regeneration is affected by the Focus you choose when spending Stat Points.
• Restorationis combined with Dominance to determine the potency of healing and shield abilities.
  • Healing Out/Self-Healing = Base Healing Multiplier * (30% Restoration + 25% Dominance)
  • Shield = Base Shield Multiplier * (112.5% Restoration + 150% Dominance)
• Vitalizationdetermines the potency of your power heals. This does not affect yoru passive power regeneration or power regeneration from weapon attacks.
  • Power Healing Out = Base Power Healing Multiplier * (50% Vitalization)
• Dominance is combined with Restoration to determine the potency of healing and shield abilities. At high levels, Dominance must be higher than enemy Willpower for crowd control effects to be effective. Dominance does not affect the degree to which you attract the attention of enemies.
  • Healing Out/Self-Healing = Base Healing Multiplier * (30% Restoration + 25% Dominance)
  • Shield = Base Shield Multiplier * (112.5% Restoration + 150% Dominance)

since your on test , what weapon does the most damage ? ty

-_-

Looks like he completely missed the point of the revamp xD

Edit cause I have to be nice: most weapons are pretty even, pick what you like to use

Come on guys lets not pretend there won't be one or two weapons that rules them all after revamp . Give it some time...it will happen more than likely. I hope I'm wrong and I would be pleasantly surprised if I am .

Yeah every time I see a revamp video everyone's using a good mix of weapons and it is beautiful to watch.

Of course there will be, just not by the huge margin we see today lol

I'm going back to MA I miss my shuriken storm

why you guys being mean >.> i just wanted to make sure everything is even before i buy a weapon....

ikr :/

Yeah. Sure.

bye Felecia

OK, now that the weapons stuff is out of the way, anyone have any feedback on how the stats are described?

Yeah, I understand that a player with 200+ SP will be competitive but I haven't tried testing with SP lower than that. Do you know if the SP=CR rule still stands? Also, how is HL doing?

I haven't tested hard light, just haven't had as much time to test as I would like, plus, I'm a mediocre DPS at best. My focus has been on testing content at different tiers, and I've been sticking with the SP=CR rule. I have HT mods, but no other mods. I'm doing it that way because I feel like it approximates the experience of a new player that's moving up through the tiers. Most people don't mod every new piece of armor they get, and generator mods come or don't based on RNG. All that being said, most of the content is very do-able. I just haven't been able to test out the raids at all.

TL;DR - If you're trying to compete on the scoreboard, you'll need lots of skill points. Otherwise, SP=CR seems to work just fine.

If you are a weapons only user then I suggest using weapons that have long combos. However brawling haymaker was recently fixed so its good to use now as well.

If you are hybrid user then use quick hit weapons with short combos.

And if you are doing PftT, then any weapon will do.

You are very likely correct....doesn't mean we should start the s**t show this early, or encourage the idiots that want to start the FoTM race already. While there will likely be many adjustments to be made once this goes live, the last thing we want is to need yet another round of balance passes instead of other improvements that can benefit all (as opposed to this DPS race).

How about you run content now, get as many weapon boxes as you can, wait till Wednesday and test for yourself. Isn't exploration part of the fun??? Don't you have ideas for your characters??? Or are you one of the many mindless cookie cutter copiers who are only concerned with the scoreboard??? Either way all of the FoTH crap will rise up soon enough...let's not accelerate the absurdity please!!??!!
