    It's why I'm not level bumping a WM/shield scrapper. I don't want to get it level bumped, slot in the Incarnate stuff that is given to you, and then start out at level one on live. I'll likely just stop at the First Ward stuff.

    Considering you can get leveled to 50 per request if you are outside of the tutorial, I don't need to check the temperature in Hell to know the answer.
  3. BillZ even came on here to try and prove once and for all that Claws was indeed the best and found out he couldn't back up his claim. The only set that has a chance is if/when Spines comes to brutes.

    Guessing the first one is for the first target and then the 2nd one is for each additional.

    Anyone else?

    At least a couple threads in General on this as well.
  6. Already found the articles saying it's a false rumor after the agents of the actresses were contacted.
  7. Posted three days ago and I see no comment saying it's a hoax. Also note "attached to star" means very little until the person has actually signed on.

I'm thinking it's the AT mixed with the things you've said. I long for the days of fury+quills+Blazing aura :-(
    They do run, but most times they start to run and then the taunt aura and you attacking bring them back so they don't go far. Brutes do get taunts through merely attacking as well, IIRC. Some will flat out run away and then come back, but it's not nearly as bad as what it is on scrappers.
  9. /fire/mu is good enough to carry a crappy AoE primary. If not SS, then Claws works, but again, it's rather difficult to screw up if you have /fire/mu to begin with.

    I would argue that Khelds and SoAs are more varied. Ill/kin is an odd pairing though.
  11. I think /dark is a great blapper type of set. It might be the best actually. The animation time on Soul Drain is long for a blaster, but I think it can be dealt with.
  12. Define farming. Are we talking ticket munching, or PLing others? For PLing, nothing really matches it, but you can get close enough to where it won't matter. Claws, as previously mentioned works. For sheer ticket munching, I would pick Claws over SS just because it's easier to do since you only need a damage aura and Spin versus waiting until 32 to get FS and since you can do it via low level maps, you can do it unslotted.
  13. Milla Jovovich, Kate Beckinsale, and Sofia Vergara are attached to star.

    Giggity.

    However, a good way to shut them up is grappling phenom Hillary Williams. She has a winning grappling record even against guys.

    Maybe the same person, but there was a girl who won the state title in wrestling. I know she even went onto college level of wrestling.

    So does the rain power. Fire, Ice, Rad, Dark, and any of the weapon sets will put out solid AoE. Fire and Ice being better on corrs due to scourge.

    Always good to check here.

    In short, no taunt aura.

    EDIT: /sd has one of the best taunt auras.

    I would add in Acid Mortar since you can have more than one out and with two characters whatever is in front of you is debuffed to hell. The advantage of two Traps defenders so easily soft capped is you can grab Assault and use that to add to your damage output.

    Max of 16 targets. Link

    EDIT: Due to radius size I doubt is ever gets that high, but at least it's not a ST attack.

    All of them get a pet besides Mind, so I would qualify them as a pet class. I believe doms are included as well, so do you have issues with just controllers being added then?

    This. And I'm still waiting to see if she act worth much of anything because if she can't, it won't be around for long.
  22. RE: Phalanx Fighting

    DEF(Melee, Ranged, AOE) +2.25% for 0.81s If target is another player

    DEF(Melee, Ranged, AOE) +3.75% for 1.25s [Ignores Enhancements & Buffs] Effect does not stack from same caster

    Is this not showing in game? That looks like a default 3.75% buff no matter what.

    And if you are farming on a SS/fire brute then you are at least using inspirs to damage cap yourself. So much so, Rage is often not even used so the crash is avoided.

But if the cc is only open to freeps . . . well, that makes it seem more fair (though it does bring up that ugly specter of freeps being "other").
    What I'm saying is, give a one month player the chance to create a guy and a 5 year vet the same chance with the same options and the 5 year vet is going to by in large make a better outfit.

    Which means in a fraction of the time I have played you have more 50s than I have. This could mean I have more alts, or you got PLed. In other words, how many 50s you have is downright meaningless.

    I really want to see the brute who runs around at 100% fury all the time. Soloing in an ambush farm and I don't get that. On teams? (chuckles)
