Yep. I take them or skip them, varying on the character. My nuke on my fire/fire is a set mule, for example. That's a much more reasonable perspective to put forward.

Tanks will see a lot of stupid scrappers because independent scrappers don't spend their time hanging around tankers.

Made worse by the fact that the plural of 'shuriken' is 'shuriken.'

Clearly, the people you know and the people he knows should have a fight.

Or maybe you should both pull your heads out and consider other, better arguments than 'All my friends say so.'

Correction; if you're hidden, and you miss with an AS, nobody notices.

Minor tidbit; Invoke Panic is boosted by Domination, sufficiently high to scare bosses. If you're playing a control-light primary, have-or-want a lot of global recharge, the taunts (7.5% recharge each!) and the terror itself (6.25%!) can all mesh together to give you a fast-recharging 'oh ****' power.

Something flexible with modal choices based on toggles sucks compared to anything that isn't flexible and modal?

Did none of you people ever meet a Kheldian or something?

Shield/Electric tanker: Lots of area effects. Mitigation of /elec is a bit wasted in that shield provides plenty. You don't need to soft-cap yourself or anything crazy - when you get to SOs, you can jump to the soft-cap with a single purple. Two AOE teleports, a damage buff, two powers that do scrapper-level damage? Quite, quite bonkers.

Electric/Fire: Thematically thin, but it gives you a lot of area coverage early with a damage aura and PBAOE DOT. You might find /fire lacking in the later game for impact.

Electric/Stone: Less damage than fire, less area coverage than fire, but holy freaking heck is it powerful. Fault is more mitigation, the more recharge and end recovery you have as a stone melee character, the better. Another thematically tricky one to verse together.

Stone/Electricity: I'm not super-fond of this one? But the way you can teleport into a spawn in Granite can be really fun and means you don't have to have teleport as your travel power. Kinda a team player build.

Just some thoughts off the top of my head.

Hahah, you fools! I've avoided all your plans by having my computer blow up before DXP and being unable to play! The joke's on you!

This thread jumped the shark when someone said 'True Casual Player.'

Poverty in this game is something nobody would declare of themselves but always of someone they imagine to be worse off. Nobody comes here to champion a cause against their poverty, just against someone else's. That the solution to this poverty happens to line their pocketbook and give them a moral fluffing is wholly coincidental.

I've encountered folks on Virtue who stick with SOs. One of them, I learned, is OCD: she uses SOs because she simply cannot handle opening the market interface at all. She vendors everything because those prices are the same. It's unfortunate, one supposes, but she never needs for money - even vendoring things and subsistance living, she still has all her characters SO'd or DO'd out comfortably enough, after having enough momentum to have a 50 from a year or two ago. She changes costumes on her 50s, which speaks to a rather massive cost (more than you'd think, since in some cases she makes unnecessary changes just so the amount spent will be the 'right' number). And so on.

Even this, she's not poor. She can always afford to screw with her costume or pay for a newer character's SOs.

If you are not being aggressively - and I do mean aggressively - wasteful, if you are not competing for the multi-million pieces and trying to do it as quickly as possible, it is functionally impossible to be poor in this game.

What crime is perpetrated on me when I post a crafted IO for 15 inf, and someone buys it for a million inf?

I'm not talking 'SELL IT NAO' habits. There was no demand for the object when I posted it; there was none for sale, either. The object in question was a crafted, level 50 IO; it would have been worth more than 15 inf if I had chosen to respec the character holding it and let it be redeemed that way.

However, it seems that I have jacked up the prices for this time - the last 5 items in the history sold for 250, 1200 and 555. Now, it's 1,000,005.

This isn't the only case, just the most greivous. I emptied my VG's bins recently, which involved taking a pile of unused IOs that had sat fallow for months, and putting them on the market for the lowest price I could bear. We're not generally talking real dog sets here, at least as far as I can see. End mod sets, knockback sets, sleep procs, debuff sets. Stuff like that. You know? Nothing platinum, nothing I was going to charge much for. For the most part, the prices range from 250k to 1-2m (in some rare instances where the salvage to make them would have cost that much). And what I'm finding is...

Even if you're trying to sell stuff cheap, the Great Chain Of The Market turns you into an ebil monster marketeer flipper dupe hacker. I have at this point, hundreds of millions of inf when all I asked for was maybe a million or two, and not all of it's sold. The only possible explanation I could work out is that people are paying what they want to pay, and therefore have their own reasons for spending what they did, or I am somehow an ebil genius who is mind-controlling the populace into over-bidding on property I posted for cheap from a dozen alts just to drive up the price or something. So I demand to know:

Which of you monsters made me into an ebil person? What horrorshow is this, where I have a lot of money in my pocket that has been put there clearly by the works of the machinations of bad people being immoral and jacking up the prices? What am I to do? And can I use these powers to get better shows on TV?

I have never ever ever ever ever encountered a positive word about it.

As an elec/elec blaster, you have some really good options to drain endurance. This proc is not one of them.
