Just bear in mind that doing it too fast just wastes daggers, since they do not stack from the same player.

Confuse is also a good way to deal with her. I don't think she will activate her Power Surge while she is confused.

I think she would be perfect if the face was softened up a bit to look more feminine. The proposed version has her face looking far too manly. At least the body does not look sickly and anorexic like the original. (perhaps narrow the shoulders significantly if they are not already in all the way?)

May not be too boring with FF/Sonic or FF/Energy, but I am sorry to say, FF/Rad is pretty dullsville. Don't get me wrong, I do like my FF/Rad girl (Bugalicious), but her damage output is so pathetic (or at least it was until she got Assault and Defenders were given a damage boost), I actually set her title to Non-Combat Pet (Just have to take care to never accidentally click on any of her badges now since she claimed her pet, otherwise the title is gone forever.)

If you hadn't already settled on a name, I would have suggested either Crow's Bane or Raven's Bane. Those were the first two suggestions that immediately came to mind.

I'm guessing that is due to tang, which is the second syllable of one of those "bad words." And if that is the case, then that just shows beyond a shadow of a doubt how hopelessly retarded the profanity filter is.


The list needs to be wiped completely, and then replaced with a new list that contains only words that are truly considered profanity. After that, add words that are trademarked in the context of comics and literature, are not taken from public domain sources such as Dracula, Cthulu, the early John Carter of Mars books, Robin Hood, various mythologies, etc. and have no other common usage in any currently used language. In other words, if it is in the dictionary and not profanity, leave it alone.

No. They are the same. But I do have a few HP set bonuses, plus the Invader accolade, which also boosts my base HP.

My biggest reason for recommending Plants/Energy is because it is real easy and fairly cheap to get permadom (for instance, plenty of powers that take KB sets, so you can get in 5 6 piece Kinetic Crash sets for a total of 37.5% global recharge, and 30% regen bonus and 15 points of KB protection on top of all that).

I'm more partial to Bugsby's Expressive Single Digit myself.

I have to remember next time my Warshade does the ITF to have her use Dark Extraction on Rommie the final time he goes down. You know at least half the team is going to freak out thinking he's getting back up again with that super AOE stun of his.

Muahahahahaha...

There have been plenty of times where damage has come in so fast that I've dropped before I can even click on any inspiration. Also, it seems like purples have a significant delay after using them before they take effect. Pop 3 or 4, and faceplant before the 4th even finishes animating.

It's not always the player's fault (it usually is, but not always.)

Actually for sets, 30 to 35 is the sweet spot. From what I have been able to tell, you don't see a significant enough difference between a 35 set and a 50 set to make it worth losing the bonuses if you exemp down below 47 (and the way teaming works nowadays other than trials, you will most likely find yourself down in the 30s frequently.)

Here is my obligatory example:



Here is Gravity Well with three different possible 5 piece hold sets: Basilisk's Gaze at 30, and Lockdown at 50 and 35. Mostly showing Basi's Gaze since that was what this thread started with, and to at least show the differences between 30 and 35 as well as the bonuses.

Note the enhancement differences between the level 35 and 50 Lockdown set?

Endurance Reduction: .22
Accuracy: 7.1% (The Kismet unique can make up for most of that)
Recharge: .63 seconds
Hold Duration: 1.43 seconds

The differences are not enough to make up the loss of the bonuses when exemping down. And to top it off, I see that the difference in enhancement values between the level 30 Basi set and the level 50 Lockdown set is still not that significant. Plus, you would be getting another 7.5% global recharge if that matters vs the bonuses from Lockdown.

Personally, that would be a tough choice, unless I was going to 6 slot the power. In that case, the Lockdowns would be the winner as the 3.75% ranged defense trumps the 10% regen that the 6th Basi would provide.

Finally, I feel it is best to use holds as holds, and screw the extra damage they provide. If you got a pesky boss or Lieutenant that you need to take out of action for a bit while working on the minions, you need those holds to hold and stack as much as possible (the Lockdown +Mag 2 hold proc helps there, as would the Devastation hold procs in your single target ranged attacks. Both are actually quite reliable and go off frequently enough to count on them).

I believe it was the wise Ed Gruberman who once said, "Well the best defense is a good offense. You know who said that? Mel, the cook on Alice."

And it's even more retarded considering how none of the old content (ITF and LGTF for example) require anything incarnate related.

Thankfully, I haven't run into any of this nonsense on Virtue yet. So far, I've had my level 50 Warshade do a Lambda and a BAF, and she had not even had her Alpha unlocked at the time, and then this past weekend, my partner and I managed to easily get our AR/Traps Corruptors on 2 ITFs in one day. Not only dis they not have any incarnate stuff unlocked, they weren't even close to 50 in the first place. (I think they were 37 or 38 at the time.)

In other words, treat them as non-combat hostages while they are hostages, and then change them to combat pets after rescued?

That sounds like a good solution to me.

Support is obviously totally wrong about this. Having a condition that can easily come up that makes a mission unfinishable should never ever ever be considered working as intended.

Those support people who claimed this need to be transferred to another tech support department (specifically, in house tech support for Management. Muahahahahaha.)
