well he is crazy

You do need to hit him with the ray again every so often. If you don't he can go invincible again and when that happens he heals VERY quickly.

Unfortunately I'm not sure of any websites that document this data. However you can easily use a Power Analyzer MkIII (or Surveillance if you have a Munitions Blaster or a Bane Spider available) to find it out in game.

Assuming that the AV does not have any defense powers you'll only need 1.00x Accuracy since you're to hit bonus will be more than capped.

I strongly recommend that you read this page:

There is a large difference between 38% defense and 45% defense. Based on your first question I'm assuming you're planning to fight +4s. At 45% a +4 Minion (with no to hit buffs) will have a 7% chance to hit whereas at 38% he'll have a 16.8% chance to hit. Against a +4 AV it's the difference between 10.5% and 25.2%. So going to 45% will more than halve the amount of damage you're taking as well as greatly reducing the chance of suffering cascading defense failure. Of course part of this depends on how much other mitigation you have, you may find that even at 38% you're perfectly safe.

Whether the softcapped S/L is enough depends a lot on what you're fighting, you'll probably be fine against Malta for example but Carnies will hurt.

No it was a pure Hero team I was forming for a Dr. Kahn TF.

My theory is that the problem was technical in nature. Stone armor users were denied the ability to recolor granite armor due to the way the power functioned (it transforms you into an NPC model). It makes sense that the Nova and Dwarf forms function the same way in which case recoloring them would run into the same problems. Given that the devs may have decided to skip any form of customization for Khelds since having the forms be a different color from their attacks would look silly.

Of course this is speculation. The RP reason that BrandX brings up might also be the case or it might be that they simply didn't have time.

I don't know if it's the majority activity but it's probably the most efficient pure market strategy. Flipping salvage and recipes is also popular but is generally less profitable in terms of slots and time.

I stand corrected. I've only really used the AE to run story arcs and haven't really tried ticket farming.

Agreed, unfortunately I missed it on test but from reading the comments thread unless they make it easier or do a significant increase in the reward (especially the merit reward) I don't think people are going to do it much which will mean the only Candy Canes are from people opening presents.

Well good news then, it no longer awards candy canes! Now you apparently have to do a mini-raid with four GMs to get 20 candy canes.

The PlayNC store does not use your game account at all. It is your master account and you can have several accounts for the same game as part of the same master account. Also I believe that when you buy a booster you do have the option of getting a code rather than applying it to an account so that you can transfer it although I'll admit I've never tested that out.

Well the ankle ones are presumably used for grenade jumping.

Ok, how you slot is your business, however your rules seem to contain some misconceptions that I would like to address. If you are already aware of this then I apologize.

First off the IO level of a proc is completely and utterly irrelevant. If you can use the power you get the benefit of the proc (this includes the procs that buff you for 120seconds like Numina's and the Stealth IOs). I think you are getting confused with Global IOs (like the LotG 7.5% or the Steadfast Protection +3% Defense) which are treated as Set Bonuses meaning you get the benefit of the proc as long as you don't exemp more than 3 levels below it's level regardless of wether you have access to the power that it's slotted in or not.

Secondly your Maximum rule. As I alluded to above you get Set Bonuses based purely on your exemped level, regardless of whether the power is available or not. Therefore basing the IO level on the Power Level is pretty much pointless for the purpose of preserving set bonuses you want to slot for your target Exemp level + 3 regardless of whether the power is available or not.


To answer the OP. I tend to slot at top level for the set because it's quicker and easier than mucking about checking a range of levels that may or may not be in stock and while I exemp occasionally I play at level 50 much more (in large part because I enjoy it a lot more). The exceptions are global IOs which I purchase at the lowest level and procs which I purchase at whatever level is easiest (generally still the top level).

If you spend a lot of time exemping I'd recommend IOs in the 26-28 or 30-33 range (depending on the available range for the set). Level 26s are the same power as +0 SOs so you aren't losing anything for performance and since exemping through Oroborus or for a TF almost always takes you to a multiple of 5 you'll keep your Set Bonuses for most content.

That's why I don't think the price of respec recipes will drop. People who actually market them are more likely to take a long term position and hold them until after the event ends. Of course the price of canes will probably go up.

What sort of ping do you get?

His point was that it will (potentially) impact the cost of respec recipes since it is a substitute good (i.e. a shopper can buy either one respec recipe or 500 candy canes).

I think they meant allowing the use of geysers . Although... geysers are affected by travel powers to some extent. In particular the forward momentum that you carry into the geyser does seem to make a difference so it's possible that walk would cause you to fall short on some jumps. I guess worst case is you just turn of walk for the geyser jumps.

(and yes, I'm ignoring the fact that there's a portal directly from FBZ to the Storm Palace since that and trains would seem to me against the spirit of the challenge).

I agree with Venture. While our true names and identities are hidden we do still have a reputation attached to our pseudonym which since this forum is only open to subscribers is not easily changed. While there are trolls who do not care about the reputation attached to their screen name the vast majority of users do (or at least care enough to be banned from the forums). So I do see a large difference between anonymous in the forum sense and in the comment sense.

Personally I think a lot of the rep problems were caused by people who assumed that the comments were anonymous to both users and mods.
