All in all, I try to get my point across with a simple ellipsis. What happened to dry humour? I thought Benny Hill passed away years ago!. I'm too old to put freaking smiley faces everywhere -- yes, both those posts were on purpose. Next time I'll use a "fart" emoticon if there is one.

Christopher Lee is great for a character actor in a bit role. Liam Neeson was put on the front stage after Schindler's List and then did various degrees of declining nothing. Don't you DARE put Michael Caine in that same category (although now he does take a lot of jobs).

I never claimed to be strong at grammer...

For all intensive purposes they are indeed the same thing...

You realize your wife is going to eventually get even, right?

I really hope these are Kismet/Karma/Achilles Heel/Steadfast Protection procs...

Right on!

But only if you have 1500 merits on one character. If the 2700 merits are evenly split across a half-dozen, then random rolls are probably the way to go. Although I'd be tempted to try to flood and crash a specific market or two... which would ultimately fail knowing me.

After a week off still: if player = yomo p = 0.000000 else p = something > 0 end if

It isn't hard, but I think some people just don't get it. That's ok. People complain about not having enough inf/real life politics/their job/their relationships or lack thereof/etc. and if you offer a solution, sometimes they just yell at you and say "I don't want an answer I just want to yap* about it." Not everyone wants a solution. Some people just want to yap*. Personally, that drives me nuts but hey, different strokes for different folks, right? * By "yap" I mean a five letter word meaning a female canine starting with "b".

To this excellent advice, I would add it also depends on how many other people are lowballing it, and where you think their lowball bids are.

If a rare salvage has a last 5 of:
2,000,000
1,900,000
2,000,000
1,345,678
2,000,000

You can feel pretty confident that a bid of 1,400,000 for 10 will probably fill within a day, if not sooner. (I wouldn't plan on offering them at 2mm on the flip, though).

If there are no outstanding bids on an IO that looks like it has some good value to it, then you can bid as low as you want, but how low you bid will probably affect how often your bid gets filled. If it looks like it trades at 10mm, and you bid 6-8mm, you will probably get filled within a day or two. If you figure that it costs someone about 3mm to make it and you bid 3.5mm, it may take longer, but you may pick someone off who just wanted to make a small profit and be the first in line to sell.

Winner!

I was playing around in the lvl 15 bronze sector for awhile. It probably would have been smarter to get someone to take me on an AE run, but I just ground it out with a level locked Elec/Ice dom. My takeaways were: lvl 10-14 rolls were marginally better than 15-19 rolls, I supplied a whole lot of frankenslot recipes and IOs for lowbies, and there were only a handful of IOs that made me any real inf. Eventually, I just focused on those and traded them, but the turnover was very slow.

My vote is yes, if you can afford it.

Personally, I can't recall the last time I used either of these powers. I should probably try Snow Storm more often on non-AVs. Does anyone know if the -movement speed restricts any of the knockback/repel effects endemic to this combo?

I'd say it depends on your other recharge bonuses. I'm all for extra recharge but at a certain point it is just overkill. I have 3 lvl 50 rech IOs, achilles heel proc, impeded swiftness proc, and posi blast proc. My recharge works out to be just over 30 seconds, which as far as I'm concerned is right at the edge of overkill.


I went a totally different direction (6 slotted Crush/Grav Distortion/Propel with Thunderstrike for the bonues, skipped a few powers you took and vice versa) but I don't see anything scandalous! don't forget that accuracy in Tornado is useless since it is autohit but I think those are there for the set bonuses. Also, I would try to work an Achilles heel proc into Tornado if you can.

I went Cardiac for my Alpha, which was a life changer. I could not imagine any other with this end heavy build. I also went Ion for concept, but I don't love it. Reactive was another life changer, but in retrospect I'd go for the 25% res debuff/75% fire damage tier 4 (I went the other way around). I don't have any Destiny yet, and I can't for the life of me figure out which one would help me the most. I mostly solo, and my pets are either invulnerable (tornado/lightning storm) or nearly so (singy).

I don't use hasten myself, but I would drop snow storm in an instant for it if I went that route. I also don't use grav distortion field (not up quick enough for regular use for me) so I got a few extra slots that way.

I use Gale on my Grav/Storm/Ice a fair amount with the same slotting as the OP (single slot, +recharge). Generally I use it only when I'm feeling safe (which is most of the time) and I recently used a heavy hitting power that I wouldn't mind getting up quicker. My set bonuses run about 90% +accuracy, so I've never noticed hitting to be a problem. And when you have a group of 16 mobs trapped in a corner, you'd be surprised at how often that proc procs.
