Zombie Man

Inherent Stamina is exactly the same as Fitness Pool Stamina.

Just got all 3 badges my first run thru on Live.

We had less than a minute to spare, too.

If you're *really* after the badge then being on a team of other badge hounds and everyone agreeing to throwing out Shivans and HVASs helps *a lot*. DPS is the name of the game.

Also, if they're using the zone-spawning rules, you don't want to be running too fast and too much. Players moving at a certain speed don't trigger spawns. Standing still causes zombies to spawn right next to you. Same with flying: spawns don't spawn once you hit a certain height.

And you don't want to be fighting the Abomination at the same time as killing zombies. You'll be wasting Damage on the AV regeneration. Once you hit 99 zombies, then go all out on the Abomination. Lots of -Regen is useful here, so make sure you have Envenomed Daggers.

I noticed no zombie spawns until the Abomination moved out away from his spawn point.

So:

1. Move Abomination over graves.

2. run around over graves.

3. ignore Abomination and kill zombies as fast as possible to spawn new ones.

Servers

Just make sure some of you have Team Teleport or else you'll get stuck places. Back when CoV was young and MMs were all the rage we had a team with 4 MMs in an Oranbega map. I used Team Teleport to move us down the hall. With the pets set on aggressive, we were like a Gelatinous Cube, a short TP-hopping wall of death.

It's as if everyone, with regard to Alignment Merits, has been factory reset to default status before the Alignment System was put in place.

Off to Warburg...

Here are the most recently added and expected Power Sets, the Melee ones highlighted in red:

Demon Summoning
Dual Pistols
Electric Control
Kinetic Melee
Beam Rifle
Time Manipulation
Street Justice
Titan Weapons
Staff Weapons

That's four to five in new Sets.

Now, Melee already has the most number of unique sets, but then again, it is shared by four different ATs. It represents 34% of all Sets.

Going forward, Melee is going to see a lot more love in Proliferation than other sets mainly because each of the ATs using Melee has had severe restrictions in accessing all the Melee sets, with each AT still having 4-7 Melee Sets held out of reach. The other types of Power Sets have either been fully proliferated (like Range) or only have 1-3 more Sets to proliferate.

Creating new Summoning, Assault, or Manipulation Sets is problematic since only one AT uses each of those types of Sets -- not too mention how labor intensive Summoning is. You also get more bang for the buck with new Melee, Ranged, or Buff Sets.

If one does not have Self Destruction, it's quite easy to drop all shields and rush into a +4 spawn and die. Dez is an EB MM and one spawn won't kill her.

It does make more sense for a Defender to pick her up who can help keep her alive and still be active at range.
