    It is nice for those people inclined, like my wife, but the cynic in me sees all these free transfers as a stealthy way to allow players to move from unpopulated servers over to those more active. The same thing would be accomplished via the dreaded server merge, only players would be forced and it carries the aroma of death.

    FE doesn't add to Burn's DoT.

    That was the majority consensus. I've tried it with various combos at +45 and it's an average set, underwhelming to me, all show and no pony. I'll be avoiding it on any melee AT.
    But you might like.

    I've just noticed this thread so OP's probably already picked and on his way, but if he chose shield/mace I'd suggest a final chain that also skips jawbreaker.
    Between SC, 5 mace attacks (bash cbr wm cc shat) and if he takes Pyre, char fire blast and fire ball, he'll have more then an adequate attack chain.

    Fire/Mace is also a kicking combo following the three FA updates and Bruising, not a bad choice if you hanker to wield the thump stick.

    I've tested the changes on that same build, and to me MA is still sort of bleh.
    But if you like the set, you'll love the changes.
  7. Ah the NDA lifting took me by surprise I had a whole guide of melee changes ready to post that I thought wouldn't see the light of day prior to release.
  8. 1 Tanks that haven't learned to go with the flow and have to herd room to room. Gives Tanks a bad rep.

    2 Kins who don't rotate SP, and players who go batass crazy if you SP them.

    Though I'm not seriously expecting it in GR. Or I-19 for that matter.

    There are options coming to i19, according to Posi, that will likely require quite a bit of re-slotting and general micromanaging of your characters build. So I'm optimistic some update to respecing will happen around that issue.
    Keep hope alive.
  10. Only planning on moving one character, a stone/stone brute, no plans to transfer anything to drabland.
  11. The interwebs can be a vicious mistress, perhaps parental consent should be required in some cases.
    Don't give up on social networking lad, it's unlikely to ever pay off, but it's what everyone's doing.

    The common issue with Fire Melee paired with FA is the total lack of mitigation, which can be manageable but it's not quite the same auto pilot that SS is.

    I knew Tom Sellecks Stache, did I ever tell you about the time we went hunting? Well anyway, he decides he's gonna hunt down all four members of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all beg for their lives, except Fleagul.

    =( aww ..

    So counting Cuppa's crackdown in 04, this is what, the fifth enforcement attempt, the first four administered by reps who have long since come and gone.

    Yawn.

    As Ex Libris would say, the same thing it usually means, I'm right, you're wrong and go *uck yourself.


    Occasionally I miss the permabans that were erased with the new forums.

    Here's one I had to snap to show my wife a month ago.

    I kid, I kid - that's actually a rather good costume. Many cosplayers I've seen seem to equate Jedi to "Bathrobe and waving a big glowstick around"

    Witt actually looks dapper, "he makes this look good?".
