Yep. It's been a rather recent bug, but it's happened a couple of times.

If a team is running a mission that isn't the leader's and the needed objective(s) is completed, then the team's level immediately goes to whatever the level of the leader is. If a team is running a level 40 mission, completes it, and the star holder is level 20, the team drops to level 20. If said team is still fighting, then you can see where this is an issue. Add in the bug where team members don't show up correctly and an easy fix is to pass the star, and now you can see an even bigger issue. People pass star, mission completes, team level drops.

I think a super porter would be sweet. It would be fun to see one store all of the beacons on it.

And going Dark is good since it indirectly helps cover up the psy hole. All sets have pros and cons. You just have to figure out if you are ok with the con.

I'm just glad I got my mission done a some quick final exp to ding 32. This is obviously frustrating from the player base to have this happen twice already today. You can imagine the words that I said when I saw the infamous red letting go into global channels.

Traps/dark defender. You get FFG for some mezz protection. Drain Life gives you a blast/heal to help fill in mitigation. T.T. keeps things in your area of toys. The -tohit debuffs stack with FFG. It's good enough as is and if you do end up liking it enough to invest in it, there's tons of potential for procs.

Fire/wp since /wp can cover the higher end cost of Fire.
Fire/invul since /invul can be a top end armor set and covers Fire's lack of mitigation.
Dark/wp for even more end recovery and healing.
Dark/inv to help patch up any issues /invul might have and adds end recovery

I don't look at end recovery as much of a concern once you factor in IOs and going Incarnate, so I would look more at /invul as being the ideal pick.

Shockwave is partly depending on the secondary since a number of secondaries want mobs close to it. You can still take it, but you have to play with it more. I'm still undecided about the combos. I hate getting half, or 3/4s of the way into a combo and their being nothing to attack next so the combo option goes away. On the plus said, getting the DoT off of the AV combo is awesome. You don't have to take 1K Cuts, but it's part of your only hope for solid AoE mitigation and /wp benefits from that. I think you could get a Claws/wp up to 18 to get a rather good base of what to expect. DB has to be played to 26 though. It's just kind of there until you get Sweeping Strike, which is on the opposite side of awesome compared to Evis. I think part of me thinks DB/wp is the ideal pairing since they both came out at the same time and /wp toggle based nature means you have more time for the over the top animations DB has. I really wished there was a way to make DB work as a whole without the combos though. With Claws I wouldn't have to think. I would just go.

I'm all for rolling what you already think is best. Is Traps/sonic awesome? Yes. I just don't see an overwhelming reason to roll it over Storm when you already like Storm.

Please note there is a thread about this issue in the tech forum that's 44 pages as I type this and it was started on 9-8-10.

Hey, I am working hard. I showered, started laundry....

I think I started a Posi at 9ish and got flooded with tells.

There's really not much a reason to pick Kat on a scrapper versus a brute. I think this is one case the brute is better.

So exempt down, or don't play end game content. I have characters who at best solo on 0x3.
