    I aim for level 3. I down 5 orange, 5 red, 5 purples, and load back up with purples and reds and then enter the mission. The 2nd AoE does help, but it's not needed to start. I have done lowbie maps on two SS brutes.

    Also a good place for PPs.

    Sure the debuffs are less, but the damage is more. And with Sonic Blast/ to get even more more damage... I'd take the corr, tyvm.
    Your personal damage is more depending on the situation. On a team, a defender wins out.

    It gets closer since scourge is really going to be a factor once you get an AV/GM's health below 50%. I'm not sure I would simply say one is better than the other. Can a defender take down an AV? Yep.

    Their rating tends to be a lot better than some reviewers here.

    influence cap

    I don't have an issue with the cap since I have plenty of alts. I siphon off about 250K-500K whenever I get extra. I think I have e-mailed around 4 bill already.

    The only way I would make that deal is if she knew how much I would be laughing during the movies. The only male I know of who saw those movies without female involvement was addicted to alcohol and pain medication. He also tended to watch about half of the bottom 10 of the year for movies.

    In what I consider prime time, it took me an hour to get a team going for a ITF on Victory when it was a WTF. To me, that's worthy of the "dead" tag. And yes, I used the known channels for the server as well. I would love to play there more, but it's frustrating to do so.

    They didn't mean the rest of the game had been deleted. Over 50% of people playing are running on level 50s doing end game content(trials, WTFs), farms, or tip missions. Since there is no viable solo path for doing Incarnate content, players are forced into doing trials and WTFs. Yes, there is other stuff to do, but most people aren't doing it and if you do want to advance in Incarnate there is only one real pathway.

    Claws/elec gives you that and an end recovery power.
  10. Plant/thermal, or Plant/cold would work as well for a controller. Tanks work well with a blaster. We have run tank/blaster only teams in the Hardcore SG and done rather well.

    I wonder if we could indirectly link to it. It's also on youtube, but it's also in a article as well. I know redband trailers have been posted before. I just can't recall if they got modded.
  12. 64 at metacritic, but reviews tend to be on the higher side until the actual release date. Reviews being that it's dull isn't encouraging though. Say what you will about how flawed Bay movies are, but at least they try to be entertaining. A super hero movie needs to be entertaining more than anything.

    Which instantly gets countered by /fire being vastly better on brutes.

    I think I just like Ice as a better epic overall. I could reason taking any of the five powers even if you can only take 4.

    It would be better written Largest vet reward badge/3 + # of Full years subbed. This way there is no fractions and it reads easier.

    18 month vet calculated as it is now

    18/3 + (18/3)/4 => 6 + (6/4) => 7.5

    18 month vet calculated base on how I wrote it

    18/3 + 1 => 6 + 1 => 7
  16. Not sure what peak fury would be at in that case and how much additional targets would factor in there.

If you simply PL yourself to 50 you're missing out on the most fun parts of the game in my opinion.
    They did a 3 year break so they aren't totally new, but I would still recommend skipping AE for some time just to get caught up in other stuff and then go peak at what can be done in AE.

    The Dead Pool

    Statesman. I'll openly admit I despise more than is justifiable. I'm sure a lot of it is based on my initial reaction to seeing him with his wannabe Magneto helm. For such a signature character, his look comes across as being mailed in. The fact that he has been classified in lore as kind of a jerk isn't helping. Add in Jack taking on the name and being the spiting image personality wise of States and well, it was just too many nails in the coffin. Love the name to the point of being jealous and wished there was a better character in there.

    No, because I want more stuff and being VIP gets me there quicker.

    We've done WOW together and now that we're bored with that I'm looking forward to showing her around what I still consider to be my all-time favorite game.
    So what you are saying is, you won the power struggle.
  23. If you aren't having fun at a computer game then you are doing it wrong. If you had enough fun with a build before and want to roll it again, knock yourself out. Personally speaking, I kind of like hitting Aim + BU and wrecking some boss's world.

    Corruptor = Fire/Kin or Fire/Cold, although does /Cold compare to /Kin in this sense? Not looking for a player buffing toon really (in the sense of keeping shields up and what not, you can be sure you would be FS'ed like crazy when around me though)
    Dom = ??? .. definitely will want to reach permadom though
    Brute: SS/fa can be made durable. SS/elec will be a nice alternate choice.
    Scrapper: Elec, or Fire/sd. I would also toss out Spines with /fire, /dark, or elec.
    Corrupter: Fire/kin, or Fire/traps.
    Dom: I'll go slightly off path and say Plant/fire/ice. Since you already have a Fire controller, I figured going with the second best AoE primary would work.

    Based on posts and personal experience, this seems to be normal for whatever reason.
