Your Interface will probably get you more reliable damage than your procs (or at least a good spread and stack on your Interface debuffs). And with more options for bonus damage/control coming with Hybrid; I would reconsider slotting regular procs (at least post-50), IMO.

[pre-50; knock yourself out. I would suggest using the free procs found in the Paragon Rewards System (up until they expire at level 20) as a test run though]

But its your call; just offering a little input.

I cried.

Will echo earlier question; isn't this the old version?

Tell me about it.


Looking into what it would take to up the amps on a typical stun baton/cattle prod to make it 'lethal'. 1amp to kill a normal human; ?amps to off a shambler with a prod to the face?

You know, I was wondering this yesterday.


another southerner?

Wha? Absolutely not; most of what I mention involves containment, inhibited progression and breakdown of materials (decomp, immolation, corrosion, dismemberment, consumption). I have said nothing on demoralization, undead cognitive skills (although they could progressively be an issue; depending on which view of them you choose to ascribe to) or zombie logistic lines, lol.

Then there's that whole having to deal with other living people thing.


The best defense is being prepared for the 'Worst Case Scenario'; avoiding being outnumbered and possibly overrun in a position that's difficult to escape from or defend with limited weaponry, assistance, rations, supplies and/or knowledge.


There's just too much going on to rely on going solo with a machete/crowbar, ninja skills and Max Brooks. (Especially if we're talking 'Return of the Living Dead' zombie types )

lol, debating zombie apocalypse tactics.

I remember that story.

Silencers and suppressors... better break out your copies of the "Anarchist's Cookbook" and "The Poor Man's James Bond"

Then get your practice in now! Plus ammo could be just a tree or shrub away (tribes have been utilizing low tech bow weaponry for centuries)

Heavy artillery is a pretty broad term and most of it would probably be in government hands. Sure, a Tomahawk may be cumbersome to carry around but the USS Whatever that's going to be tossing it around may not agree with you.

Mounted M-60s and .50s; tanks, fighters and bombers. I don't plan on carrying those around either.


Siege defense tactics... just like the good ol' days. Fire pits, trenches, flamethrowers to the face, boiling oil and tar, etc.

See two guides mentioned above. Turn pit traps into death traps. Grenades and pipe bombs for those that have a good arm. Mines and other booby traps. [Turns '28 Days Later' into 'Night of the Living Dead' (and personally, I'd rather have limpers and shamblers to walkers and runners (or bit players over full blown actors))]

Siege and trap tactics; not for close encounters (unless it comes down to it... and then, anything goes).


If I'm not mistaken, carrion eaters don't always avoid tainted flesh; maggots definitely do not. There would be an exponential explosion is fly population which would expedite the rate of carrion consumption.

*********************************

I would point to World War Z as a reference but its chock full of idiots in control of tactics and logistics.


[I wonder if electricity would do anything (if applied correctly)]


The bad thing about melee is absolute risk; range, room for error, splatter and exit strategy.

There were so many of each; I really couldn't tell you.

In Miami, even the mosquitoes are high.

Anyhoo, you know this is going to end up as an episode of CSI, NCIS or L&O, right?

Because they're both outside... tussling butt naked... and its Miami.

I've hit it off a few times with prospects at the club but end result is usually inside... tussling butt naked... engaged in 'soft-core cannibalism'.

You read my mind.


And the previews didn't entice me in the slightest to spend any money; looked like a bad sequel the "The Vampire's Apprentice" or even the new "The Sorcerer's Apprentice".
