  1. If I levelled up 432 toons to play the market, I would deserve rewards commensurate with these extreme efforts. IMHO. YMMV.

    they both have the same chance to stun
  3. I've missed more than three times

    I think you have a floor of 5% so perhaps it allows 19 misses in a row?
  4. candy canes will yield respecs soon too

    whooosh
  6. The inherent fitness is a stalker buff imho.

    Stalker builds are some of the tightest builds I have ever done.
  7. It IS true that you don't need the ultra high end enhancements to have fun.
    You don't even neeed them to have a great toon.

    Matter of fact, iirc, before IO even existed, people did some pretty amazing things with their toons.

    If pursuing ultra high end items is a drag for you, there's a whole hella lot more to the game than pursuing them.

    You left out the people who now cannot find the enhancements that they want to buy on the market because they are being sold off market only.

    What is the rate currently? Do you know?

    You are saying that.
    Some people, like myself, are saying that your statement is incorrect.
    And others are saying that there should be things in the game that are challenging.

    The fastest way to make inf is to play the market, btw.

    If all of the PvP IOs and Purples were removed from the game, would you be happier?
    You still wouldn't have these things. But, there would be absolutely no way to get them.
    I am not sure that this is an improvement.

  11. You're really shy on on end-- a net of 1.5/s
    Some end reduction in your toggles would'nt hurt.

    The PvP you chose IOs are very expensive-- 35 AMerits or inf cap.

    The slotting in brawl is wasted. You can slot it if you like, but all of the end redx is wasted and the set bonuses are over the limit so you don't get them any way.
  12. record your times
    if its a server side thing, this could be helpful
  13. Thanks to everyone for their replies.


    I have pretty much been playing brutes and stalkers for the past 4yrs. And I am examining the possibilities of something completely different.

    And, yes, I completely understand how a toon of this nature would be inappropriate for solo play. But I already have toons that are great for solo play.

    true that
    however, you won't have to run the add-on leadership powers unless you want to--you can have them available for special occasions
  15. What server are you on?

    If they can be traded, people will definitely want to buy some of them.



    Cytos, Enzymes, Ribosomes are some of the more desired ones.
  16. I didn't know it wasn't working. What A drag.
    When they fix it, I hope I can see the difference. I keep it in my PBAoEs on a couple of brutes for just a little edge.

I'll have to keep an old copy, and any time I happen to double click on one of those old builds, it'll load in the new Mids and fail. While I truly appreciate your efforts, that's a pretty sucky situation to face as a heavy user of the program.

    It's hard to knock software that does as much as Mid's builder does when it's free, but I really wish you could do something other than offer us this work-around. I'm afraid it's not that helpful.
    the illegal bootleg patch somehow solves the issue without all this trouble.

    Perhaps you could contact the author and work with the patch that's already available?

    and thank you for your work and efforts
    I greatly appreciate them
  18. I have been playing with Mids' looking at Ill/Sonic/Psionic and Mind/Sonic/Psionic controller.
    There're multiple confuses [and an enticing level status protection for a squishie] in the builds.

    Wandering in invisibly and creating confusion and chaos in my wake has a certain appeal.
  19. I certainly didn't expect such a hulabaloo about the definition of pacifist. If I had I would have chosen my words more carefully.

    I just meant it in a very loose, general way.

    The gist of what I was asking about was an intentional downplaying of the damage aspect of a toon in favor of other aspects.

    Though there have been some spirited discussion which I havent finished reading yet

    So, no, a useful pacifist in the context of this game is not possible.
    Please feel free to redefine the term or replace it so that it fits better in the context of the game and the question.

    What's the word for someone who does no more harm than they have to?

    I heard once that the proscription against shedding blood led to the use of blunt instruments.
  21. What toon that would come closest to not doing any damage BUT at the same time be as useful on a team as most any other toon.

    I suspect that 0 damage would be impossible because many holds and immobs have a dmg component.

  23. There are no inspirations that up your recharge.
