    Game Update 51

    Titles

    With Game Update 51, we are introducing Titles to the game! Titles are a great way to display your accomplishments, or just your personality. You can obtain Titles by completing specific feats in game. Feats that grant titles are denoted by a yellow ribbon in the Feats Menu. To set what title to display on your character, go into your Style Menu and click on the Titles tab. You can also control whether you see titles on other players by going into the Settings Menu, and clicking on the UI tab.

    Legends PvE: Hall of Doom Armory

    The newest installment of Legends PvE is now available! Players can test their skills by creating unique teams of iconic DC Legends characters and entering the Hall of Doom’s lethal Armory! Discover what has awoken dormant weapons inside the Armory that threaten our extinction!

    Players will be rewarded with Marks of Legend for defeating all the bosses and completing the instance – each boss will drop at least one Mark. Players will also be able to earn feat points by completing the achievements in the event itself. Look for Hall of Doom Armory in the Legends PVE section of the Feats menu.

    To queue for the event, just look for Legends: Hall of Doom Armory under the Events tab in the On Duty menu!

    I tested Rage dps but I didnt see a good damage buff on rage it needs more buff. I m hitting the same amount of damage. And Can you fix celestial's Cursed idol it hits as dots damage and we are dying coz of reflections of bosses while cursed idol is used( even before reflection) and there is no even a canceller of cursed idol...

    so now the gravitonic field is part of the Time Bomb mechanic?
    Also, could you guys make the cooldown of divine light equal to plague? This way the rotations can work either way. (hint: you can use plague combo twice before Annoint is over, and between one plague and another, you can do a single combo, so basically: annoint > plague > random combo > plague.)

    I just did the new duo on test with a quantum partner while using rage only melee outrage->frenzy->plasma retch, and while using chain for finisher and relenless anger in bosses. Also when bosses where blocking only then did i use rage blast. He used his quantum AM and once in every boss orb.strike (i didn't have orb.strike with me).
    Our dmg out difference was only 6k and i was only interrupted by the first and second boss, hawkgirl we killed in like 20 secs so she probably didn't have time to interrupt me. I am not a good comboer and yet i managed to reach 1.336k dmg with rage even if it was just a duo. That makes the dmg buff of rage's melee combos pretty good. As for power regen i think it actually fits rage more given that if you screw up a combo then you still have the regen from the previous one still going therefore gives you extra leeway to start up your am again.

    Let's not forget however that this was simply a duo i have no idea how rage plays in raids yet.

    Also forgot to say the last hit of frenzy did 17k crit and while hitting plasma burned boss hit 21k. I think that frenzy has officialy become a staple in all rage melee dps loadouts with this update.

    Well, I play a quantum dps as my strongest on live, and just tested it on test, and I can say that I had less power issues on test than on live, the power return being tied to each power activation make you less susceptible to becoming power starved and the damage seemed similar, though my live and test gear was too disparate to be sure. Also in case anyone wants to know if I just used the dummies that fill your power, my testing included a run of the duo alongside a rage dps and just being a quantum blasting powers off into thin air, which does still leave your power full.

    like last time id suggest a more survivability approach for rage if ya want us to melee stuff

    how about the remoreless recovery power, aswell as giving health back for damage out how about it also gives something like a 20% decrease in damage recieved, would give us more of a chance to survive tose one shot kills

    The quantum power changes do keep your bar full at almost all times. I ran with it on several instances and never once dropped below 80% power.

    Just going to go ahead and post my two cents about the rage range dps again... still not on par with other DECENT dps powers. For fire (yes, I know, it's OP) I'm hitting 750k on live, and with a toon with the same skill points, gear, and mods (except precision instead of might), I'm hitting for barely 400k. I'm not asking for an OP range loadout to go along with rage's previously existing OP melee loadout, but I don't believe a bit more damage would hurt :) I should be doing 550-600k at least with my 5000+ prec, in my opinion.

    I'm hoping the hotfix comes soon so I can test out gravity well in a quantum rotation.
