Cool, better than noting.

A 5 year paid sub would be worth it. I would just wear a hat, and then shave my head when I got home.

I have at this point entered, and will just grow my hair in the hopes of winning.

I really hope you submitted a bug report on this.

I think allowing all but Judgement and Lore is a good call. The rules look good to me, I do suggest keeping it to scrappers and perhaps brutes only though. I really hope it goes well for you.

Be sure to come back and post the results, and see if you can get the winners to post their builds.

Good Luck!

Are you trying to argue? Sure seems like it. No I made a statement, and you seem to want to argue. Have at it, and enjoy the contest.

This.

Personally I would not allow temps either, but as you said it is not my inf. I have done many pylon runs, and never used a temp, or an inspiration. As you said it defeats the purpose. I still maintain that Incarnate powers are earned powers just as any other power is, and no they are not like temps because they are permanent and upgradable. I also never just judgement in my runs, but YMMV.

As fore deb debuffs, you do realize that interface has its fair share of debuffs.

Cool, I think thinking on it more is the right path to take. As for those temps, you are correct they did earn them. I can't see any scrapper who has done a pylon challenge corrupting their attack chain to work in an envenomed dagger though. Most scrappers who are at the level to run this as part of a contest have their chain down to a science.

For my point of view, take it or leave it I know it was not asked for, I suggest allowing all non pet powers. After all a scrapper is a tool box, and temps are just another tool. As for inspirations they are outside of the character, as in not powers. They are like performance enhancing drugs IMO. As a fighter I can use any move I know to win (will in some organizations) yet using drugs is not going to fly. Temps, pools, and incarnate powers are nothing but learned moves.

Even with my arguments I see where you are coming from, we just have different perspectives.

Again, good luck, I hope it goes well and you have a good turnout.

I will not be attending, but mostly because of server transferring. Name grabbing, SG set up, and using transfers are all a pain in the butt. I wish you luck, and can understand why you would want to do it on your home server.

I am mostly posting about the line above.

Like any other power that is earned or achieved, if they have it, it is part of their natural attack chain. For that matter so is judgement. I can see disallowing Lore, because at that point it is not the scrapper doing the damage, but a pet. I do suggest allowing the rest though. They earned it (just like any power or IO) so why remove it?

Good luck though!

I have been told several times that there reason I like it so much is because I am playing it on a scrapper. For concept reasons, I almost wish he was a brute any way.

Mine were close to that. KM is a beast. What isn't taken into account (because it is a hard variable to account for) is a series of lucky numbers with Power Siphon. I did one run where it was up and active for most of the run because of CS crits. I didn't even do the math on mine, I just posted my run time, and others did it for me. Shoot, even after my initial run I changed my build a bit and got even more DPS.

Mine is the same way. Between Burst, Lightening Field, and Ion my KM/EleA is not so bad off on AoE attacks.

I did a few runs, but it was with /SD and I am an SD novice. I don't think the numbers were as good as they would be for someone who plays the set regularly. I also can't find the numbers I did get.

I am excited to see how they turn up too. From my playing I find KM to be a little bit stronger, but I think that may be because of the energy component in KM. As opposed to StJ's S/L damage that is so heavily resisted.
