  2. Well, what are we going to do about it?
    That's what they thought.

    shut up and take it

    I am not sure, but I think the objection is along the lines of, "There're very few things where a HO is eminently preferable to an IO. When this is coupled with the relative ease of acquisition of an IO when compared to that of a HO, the HOs are not nearly as desirable as before. They're harder to come by and often not as good or not that much better than an IO and its set bonuses"

    It turns HOs into the Energy Melee of the enhancements--not totally suck, but there're just quite a number of things which are better.

    But I may be mistaken.

    People will spew them on the market. The price will probably drop below it's resting point before it finds its new happy medium.

    That's the kind of build I'm making if I'm slotting ~78% def enhancement into a power.
  6. It does seems a shame to have yet another game system rendered irrelevant.

    You'll feel it more when you exemplar.
  8. How unfortunate. I had hoped that the HOs would remain useful content.

    But, between this and the ability to +5 purples, HOs may go the way of arena pets.

  9. Are you saying that the +$$ bit is broken again?
  10. I have seen it happen too. But I also don't know how it is done.

    It seems it would just take -jump, not immob
  11. +rech seems to affect accolade powers and incarnate powers. So that's nice and useful.

    What I do is set up the binds to my attacks to switch out what power I have on auto. That way I can more than one power on auto...sorta, almost, in effect.

    In practice, it sometimes results in me activating w/e power at the end of a battle because there was no gap for the auto power to go off. But that's kind of cool when it's the incarnate power that activates by raising my arms in the air while standing on a pile of bodies.
  13. Or your billing date the first time and then the 1st of the month thereafter.

    It's pretty low on the priority list, so ask for w/e the hell you'd like--not gonna matter anyway.
  14. All the time.

    I have some binds that combine them for me.
    Sometimes I just eat them out of spite.

    Last I checked--which was quite a while ago--they weren't selling for as much as the canes it took to make them. So I just dumped my loot in base and there it has sat--except when one of my toons needed one.

    If they're going for unreasonable prices, I'll come off some the dozens that I stashed away last year.

    Question on EM

So I was curious, with the way that tanks now debuff with their tier1 attack, and the advent of Incarnate powers, could he be retuned to a semi decent damage dealer?
    I was thinking adding reactive interface and muscular alpha might help?
    Am I wrong?
    EM already is a "semi decent damage dealer."
    Incarnate powers etc can upgrade it to "decent."

    The only real problem with EM is there's nothing particularly outstanding about it. Which is fine. But more than one other set has something outstanding about it. So it makes EM seem lame by comparison.

    That doesn't match my experience.
