  1. Sadly, it looks like I'll need to bow out of tonights attempts - apparently
    I'll now be attending a string concert. I'm sure fresh air is bad for me.
  2. I'm up for this with Accelerator Ray, Kin/Rad defender.

    Except PvP rewards (IOs) can be purchased using PvE rewards (alignment
    merits and empyrean merits).

    That said, I don't think purple recipes should be purchaseable using PvP
    reputation. I wouldn't be against them dropping from PvP defeats though.
    Of course, that would make PvP recipes rarer, by diluting the rewards
    from PvP defeats.

That's almost two more powersets, or at least two costume sets, or I don't know how many SSA arcs. The Premium player makes out like a bandit.
    Remus, don't forget:
    3 costume bundles (IDF, Olympian Guard, Leather + Chainmail) x 400 = 1200

    Then there's the costumes you cannot get unless VIP - Celestial, Fire & Ice,
    Mecha (and soon-ish, Tech Knight). But lets discount those, since they
    are available only to T9 VIP.

    SSA Arcs cost 400 each (2800 points) if you want them on release, or
    2400 if you wanted to wait for SSA #1 complete arc.

    And I suppose we're assuming Premium had Going Rogue edition previously,
    so didn't have to purchase alignment system (1200) or GR costume sets
    (400?)

    First Ward content - 600

    That puts a premium 2640 or so points behind VIP. Even more if Epic Archetypes,
    masterminds or controllers are desired.

    I think VIP players are getting a pretty good deal.
  5. Consider to 400 or 500 points you get per month as a VIP
    to be your market discount.

    As a VIP, you do get free powersets, for which Premium
    players must pay.

    You also have the option to purchase additional powersets.
    Just like before, but faster - previously, you only had two
    opportunities to pay for new powersets - City of Villains
    and Going Rogue. If you like, you can save your points
    for a year or two before buying new sets, then get them
    all at one, to keep your VIP experience the same as before
  6. Build incomplete - last power pick could be Entangling Aura, or the
    new Leadership power in I24. Focusing on recharge, to get the buffs
    up more often, rather than trying to build up +ranged def.

    Anyone with suggestions or rebuilds?

    But you could have more accuracy bonuses, if they're a different number -
    some sets have 9% bonus, some 11%, etc - you can stack each named
    set bonus up to 5 times. I say 'name', not 'number' because at least
    Luck of the Gambler has a 7.5% recharge bonus which has a different
    name than the 7.5% bonus available from Basilisk's Gaze and some other
    sets, so you could conceivably have 5 x 2 x 7.5% recharge bonuses.

    Dark/Fire Review

    I'm hoping to finally bite the bullet and rebuild my dark/fire tanker.
    The current build has energy mastery, to help offset end costs.
    I'll likely be keeping that build around for when I exemp, unless/
    until I can validate that the new build does as well or better when
    downshifted.

    This build should give me a bit more AoE (picking up fireball) at
    higher levels, with about the same amount of single-target (using
    fire blast in place of fire sword). I'll have almost soft-capped s/l/e/n,
    defense where my old build was in the 20% range for positional
    defense.

    Can anyone suggest further tweaks?

  10. For general play. Heat Mastery taken to add some AoE damage
    to the build (even with lower MM damage modifier). Alternative
    would be fighting pool, to get personal defenses into the 32% range.

    Without seeing a Mids build, the first thing I'd suggest would be to turn off
    Sprint and Acrobatics - make sure you have Runspeed enhancements in Swift
    and Quickness to get around quickly without Sprint. Acrobatics is unnecessary,
    since you have Practiced Brawler (and you do have 2 Recharge enhancements so
    it is always available, right?)

    You didn't say what your accuracy and damage slotting was like for attacks.
    Make sure you have at least 1 SO of accuracy and 2-3 damage in each
    attack (preferably 3 damage, of course)

    For ease of generating a Mids build, grab Titan Sentinel from http://cit.cohtitan.com/
    It has an option to export current character to a Mids data chunk.

    Just not fair!!

    When Reward Merits were added, you weren't granted merits for each Story Arc
    and Task Force badge you had.
  13. If you swap the defense buff IO in Link Minds for an Adjusted Targeting Recharge IO,
    Link Minds will be perma, with little loss in defense, due to ED.

    Swap one of the common endmod IOs in Stamina for a Performance Shifter EndMod.

    Consider dropping a slot from Stamina (losing .06 end/sec) and/or Gather Shadows
    (losing 4 seconds in recharge) to add to Engulfing Darkness (or Shadow Field, since
    you appear to be building to be a ranged character).

    The defense buff IO in maneuvers is doing little good due to ED (adding .14% defense).

    You could swap in Cloud Senses instead of Dark Watcher's Despair in Fearsome Stare
    for a bit more recharge, and more ranged def if you allocate two more slots (from
    Stamina, Maneuvers)
  14. Head to Croatoa and talk to Gordon Bower (near the University) to start the
    story arcs for the zone.

    Standard code rant. The movement powers are animations. Allowing other animations to play with them is most likely not a simple switch of a flag.

  16. Positional and Psi def within a small purple of softcap
    Enough recharge to perma Chronoshift if it gets adjusted
    to the 360 second recharge other ATs get.

    Any improvements to be made?

  17. Fictionwise has a virtual bookshelf.
    It even sells both DRM and non-DRM (Multiformat) encumbered books.

    Bookview Cafe sells non-DRM encumbered books

    Baen Webscriptions sells non-DRM encumbered books, and Baen
    Free Library has a goodly number of free books from Baen backlist.

    I think Diesel eBooks and Kobo also have virtual bookshelves, but
    I don't buy from them, so can't be sure.

    Amazon and Barnes and Noble have virtual bookshelves.

    Re: calibre and Amazon/Barnes and Noble books - calibre can convert
    them if they're not DRM encumbered (not all books are - it is publisher's
    choice)
  18. AcceleratorRay

    Not allowed on

    Still about 2.5 hours or so until the servers are expected to be open for play.
  19. Time/Electric defender for regular SG and allies teaming.
    Beam/Traps corruptor, likely on Exalted for headstart event.

    I'm tempted to also create an Electric/Time controller,
    but two new alts is sufficient for now.

  21. Tumbling concepts for Time/? in my head, I came up with a possible
    Time/Ele alt. Any suggestions/comments on this build? Will likely
    be teamed most of the time (hopefully with other Time alts from SG
    folks). Built for high recharge, with a little def to stack on Foresight.
    I believe I'll be around 30 def (foresight, maneuvers, hover).

    Probably the easiest way is to check for fitness powers (swift, hurdle, health, stamina)
    If the build is not using the inherent fitness, it is outdated.
  23. The numbers in parentheses indicate the level at which the slots were
    placed in the power.
  24. Activate the mission, head to the inspiration vendor in AE (next to the AE hospital doors),
    buy your inspirations, use them, repeat. When fully buffed, run into mission and start
    mowing down the mobs. With a damage aura on, you should be getting inspiration
    drops in sufficient quantities to keep you buffed.
  25. Here's some information on 540M

    http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-...M.41715.0.html

    it does seem likely it will support at least some level of UM
