    I had a character theme I want to build but it won't work with out the sonic powers. I know I could use sonic shout after a WM combo but is there room for the sonic cry anywhere? Does WM help the cry as well?
  3. TheDark Devoted Player

    WM should boost Sonic Cry. Are you playing with strict WM or are you using our Advance Mechanic and WM?
  4. TheDark Devoted Player

    I've only used BR to Storm in controller stance. That combo sound like it would be good for lower health NPCs. Maybe it'll register more damage than from what I heard about Rifle's tap. I should check it out.

    I haven't tried pt inbetween 3xpi .but I believe it hit for about 800, I've behn useing it as a start of a new rotation, only for the crit boost to gg. Jus trying to find that optimum dps rotation for t6 adds.

    Here's some things I discovered for Gadgets
    You can WM into GaussGrenade clipped with Battle Display to start you AM sequence. You can lunge then EMP/distract for instant burst damage.
    You don't need battle display, you can carry EMP, stealth, distract along with gauss,fear, foam, you just need good trolls to power you up.
    You're welcome.
  7. apocalypsegodx Loyal Player

    Battle displays animation is longer then gauss. So clipping it with a longer animation is pointless. If u hit emp before distract you don't get the damage boost to emp so tht is pointless. I also recommend useing battle display to clip cryo foam there about the same, but cryo foam can get stuck and take longer some times and when u clip it with bd you can slide around and position your self a lil better in the battle. Your welcome :)

    Oh and if u have extra space in you load out from not useing bd, try throwing knives from acro. (Adds only)

    Mentos, there's no reason to come here and pick a fight with Gadgets players just because of the disagreement with Dark. If Mental is to be balanced we need to show that we're reasonable, not petty.

    I got a chance to look at Vacuum Bubble in the Flight/Skimming tree and BackFlip from Acro.

    Both 6 ticks of power and 83 power at 0 vit. Meaning, as minimal as that it, even DPS can use it for whatever the reason. VB also started feeding power back just over 1 second of being cast. BackFlip is more instant. Both are 50% group power return supercharges.
    VB applies a knockdown and stun and also deals about 6 ticks of damage. I also noticed VB gave some power to players not in my group.

    Word of Power gives 5 ticks of power at 100 per tick with 0 vit. The power doesn't distribute until after 3 seconds of initially casting. You can clip out of the animation with Defib. That's nothing new unless you're a new player.

    I looked a Speed Drain like 2 years but I don't know it's base blue heals. I think it's also 6 ticks of power and instant. Chances are it's probably 83 per tick as well.

    I played around with it. You definitely have to pay attention to hit it the sequence correctly. Normally I used to do one tap or none with DW tap. Sometimes I squeezed in one DW hold triangle then went on with the AM. With Rifle it was just tap after each power. I'm only concerned out being in a raid and just lagging and missing the EMP hit. This last update, or the one before it, brought back stupid lag.

    I made a video to folks who don't know about or just didn't care for Phantom Triangle. Just tap triangle/range for the grenade then quickly hit your next power. It requires alot of focus.


    You also don't have to unlock WM on the rifle to deal extra damage because the Rifle Grenade isn't listed as a required attack. Only required attacks get the increased damage.

    In game I noticed the game is higher but I couldn't get my precision to match correctly with the weapons witch. Shiny Mackerel has DW tap range/triangle at .53 and Rifle's at .6 in his thread. It's not that huge but one is AoE and one is single target.

    Anyone try your normal loadout and rotation but take out Battle Display and use Robot Sidekick yet? I haven't thrown it in since I tested it out on test server back in August. Reason it popped in my head now is for the time when you have to block, or stop attacking, in L&W.

    I think it'll die during Carol's attack but I'm curious if a healer's HoTs can do something unless it's one shotted. Which I would just cast again. Big problem would be the power consumption and whether the Controllers can power you together.

    I've tryed rbs but I had to give up and iconic ( not enof armories ) anyway there's not enof power to run like tht, I've gotten too used to running with full power all the time .
  16. apocalypsegodx Loyal Player

    I also play as an electric healer and most of the time, I run rbs instead of my sc he lives threw the whole fight ....

    Yep. Imagine it as if we'd be back in the day where groups had three controllers to power up one Lantern/Phase Dodge DPS. (^_^)

    Not sure if this is known yet but I wanted to get your guys opinion on it before posting it as a bug. If you do your PI rotation of gauss->cryo/ba->FearGas/jump->EMP then clip EMP with distract then EMP again you should get two hard hitting EMPs but for some reason your second one doesn't register that you hit distract and ends up being weak. Intended or not? You are following the proper application and rotation to receive bonus damage for both EMPS and if you slow down and let the animation for EMP play out before hitting distract then it works so I'm not sure if it's just a limitation of the detection code or not intended. Thoughts?

    Yeah you have to wait for the boom to hit from EMP. By boom I mean the actual number tick or the actual animation (blue electricity of the ground). So technically you're not really clipping it but clipping it two-thirds of the way. It should work after that. Maybe someone else has found an earlier point to clip but that's what works for me when I play Gadgets.
  20. TheDark Devoted Player

    Last night I ran for the first time without pulling the V lantern to the back of the fight as Controller. Which the tank didn't like but I wanted to test the Robot Sidekick out during the Carol fight. The RBS only died once. Seeing as how pets stats are based on CR it should still survive in Damage role. So I'll definitely consider it.
