Quote:While I may defend Stone Armor, I wouldn't use it for a Brute, either. <.<[Didn't mean the Brute archytype earlier, meant kat/stone power combo.]
Meatsheilding is fine and all. I have an ice tank that pretends to do damage while others kill everything off me, but I had high hopes for the katana/stone brute. I don't know what I was thinking. As if having a katana in my hand would make the slowness of a /stone go away.
Stone is what it is. I don't think it's broken, but I'd rather be the guy casting the SB on the stoner than the stoner himself. -
Quote:I find it to be very useful with nothing but endurance reduction. Other powers keep them from scattering.Ice/Time was sad because even with 6 confuse DO's in arctic air, the confuse duration and overall effect was pitiful. I guess people love the 50 proc in it, but until then the confuse part is crap. The slow and afraid is good. But like with fire, the group will scatter and you will have your end sucked from you.
Quote:Six slotting a power for anything is generally a poor decision. In this case, you're ignoring the fact that Arctic Air must make a hit role. So no matter how long the confusion duration, it won't apply until it actually hits. For SO's or common IO's, I'd recommend slotting 2 acc/2 confuse/2 end reduction in AA and you'll see much better results. -
If all else fails, you can unlock capes through the Paragon Market or Astral Christy in Ouroboros.

My favorite Defender is Sonic/Sonic, and I used to think I would never play a successful Defender at all.

Quote:I don't know that it has low RP usage, only that the farmers are more obvious.Come on now, if the unofficial RP server has low apparent AE RP then what's the chances that non-RP servers will have higher RP?
Quote:Sure, voting is optional, but that doesn't address the point either; in order for that to be a valid rebuttal you'd need to make an argument which makes it probable that RPers are unlikely to vote for AE arcs, but farmers are likely to vote for AE arcs. In the absence of any such argument your rebuttal doesn't work. -
Quote:Virtue and Freedom are not representative of the game as a whole, and voting is optional.Ever been to the AE? Ever seen all level <50s standing around yelling "farm plz", even on virtue? I'm sure they're all just RPing agricultural workers and are patiently awaiting slots on the "Toil for 12 hours a day in an underpaid agricultural job" farming RP arc.
Time we accept that AE is used pretty much entirely for farming. For a quantitative assessment of the claim I suggest you take a look at a farming AE map and see the 999+ 5 star votes and then take a look at any non-dev pick non-farm map and see the 0-5 votes total cast by the creator and his friends. -

Don't forget the complete lack of gloves.

How is the AT flawed? Even the powerset is fine. You could just not spend all your time in Granite. Make yourself reasonably secure without it, and Superspeed around between mobs. Granite up as necessary.

I have no interest in any server other than Champion at this time.

Nuke-Burnout-Nuke? Depending on your nuke's crash, of course.

If you're curious, take some of the names with un-necessary punctuation and check the "normal" versions.

Quote:Do you know that they're characters created on Exalted, rather than transferred?Exalted is still new and unlike the 7 year old servers, there are still "OMG PLNTY" of names not taken. Yet people are running around on alts with a period or apostrophe at the end of their name?
I mean, we didn't start seeing that till about 4 years into the game. Now brand new alts, on a brand new server, are doing it? Am I missing something or is "." and " ' " the newest trend to hit MMO's? -

Quote:No, it's entirely correct. No slots, no enhancements. Using them at the same time as other powers is something else.Incorrect. They don't have slots of their own, but they most definitely benefit from other enhancements; to get maximum performance out of Ninja / Beast Run, you need to run Sprint (increasing the effective End cost substantially), slot Sprint, slot Swift, and slot Hurdle.

Assuming he meant who you think he meant. I'm not saying he didn't, but people jumping to conclusions is a pet peeve of mine. (If you had insider knowledge, then I'll just have to be peeved at myself.)
