Tactical: At Three stacks Depredating Volts hit's all targets effected by Discharge. Force pull pulls the target and all targets within 30 meters under the effect of Recklessness but consumes all charges or Recklessness. Phantom Stride's range is set to >5 meters but when activated causes you to negate the next hit you take. Set Bonus: Small self heal on Depradating volts for each target it hits on full stacks.

I was running full Lethal B for a long while with the 246 crafted Enhancements Low (defence) Steadfast and Vigilant. Just recently swapped all the Lethal B's for pure 248 Lethal mods and essentially lost -/+ 4300 health points. But gained.... 324 Mastery 342 Power So now with dps relics still stilling at around 144k hp with 30% defense and 60% Shield and 51% absorb. So I reckon it was a good trade off.

You think Bioware will go for their Special patented "leave it over the weekend until everyone is in a total rage" maneuver?

Lazy.

What bug?

For me personally in 248 gear, I balanced it to 61% shield and just over 50% absorb, your absorb will be higher than 50% most of the time thanks to Kinetic bulwark as well. And of course 246 crafted B Power mods I know on top of that other progression Assassins/shadows that basically used only 246 Crafted Enhancements as well to stack HP further, (HIgh End, high sh/ab low def) which resulted in closer to 57% shield and 48% absorb. However that was more for the sake of mitigating the sometimes insanely high damage you can take in one hit in NiM by inflating HP. DP Raptus springs to mind, his Driving thrust hit me last night for 120k and that was just in HM.. rng... but it can happen

It's always been the case that Illegal mods is a bit stronger for Slinger than the Imperial version is for Sniper, but I don't think it's that much of an advantage as you suggest.

Still enjoying terrible fps performance in Crisis on Umbara as well, flashpoint and the Stronghold. Changing all the graphical settings to low barely makes any difference at all.

Yea my PC dies on the train as well, fps drops to 40, but on the actual boss more like 20, it's fine everywhere else in the game, so something about Umbara is definitely disagreeing people's Computers.

That's one of the bugged parses with Chain lightning being constantly instant cast is it not though? Hardly a fair comparison if you need a bug to make the numbers..

Your not being excluded from story or veteran ect ect, they said only for Master Mode...... It's better to read what the game devs actually write than take 2nd hand information from "someone"

Just a leftover no doubt, the thing with NiM EV/KP is they where exactly the same as HM just more HP to burn and bigger hit's, mechanically they where identical and somewhat pointless. Bioware didn't want a so called "NiM" in there that was in the great scheme of things not really a NiM and there was no chance of them making changes to it so.. "Chop it out and call it a day that's the Bioware wayyyyyyaaayyyy" sing it with me!

Not just Saber reflect, I've noticed it with Avenging grip on Shadow as well. I think they made a sneaky pass over quite a few boss abilities.

We have recruited a couple of new people this week, but we are still looking for more, at this point we can afford to consider taking on any role provided you either have experience or the dedication and a willingness to learn your class and make the most out of your time in game with us, while hopefully having a laugh in between.

It was weapon damage from the beginning in NiM, I remember well as it was so easy to avoid with resilience in HM. Your best options are CD's that have a flat Damage Reduction, such as Shadows Battle Readiness or Reactive Shield for VG Warding call for Knights? I cant really remember the Guardians CD's well. I suppose this Blitz as well if it reduces damage. I can't honestly remember back in the day a time Huge grenade was ever Defended againts so It could be that it's just not avoidable at all only mitigated. To be honest though a Bubble from a sage should be enough to survive it if you have one with you and our hp is topped off.
