  1. Trick arrow/Dual pistols! DO IT NAO!
  2. Recast Singy at every opportunity you get...right smack in the middle of a group. Helpful!

    First 50?

    My first 50 was an elec/elec/elec blaster (/shame!) that occurred about 22 months into the playing the game. My second, which I'm much happier with and actually enjoy playing, is my DP/TA corruptor.

    Substantial time for you to find yourself on the receiving end of a particularly nasty life-depleting barrage of nastiness. The combination of the forced multi-second hover and the time it takes for you to set the traps would pretty much guarantee your death.

    Atomic Blast?

    Seconded. I love the top tier blast powers that don't have an end drain component.
  6. Just float down close to the ground and the powers activate, then float away to safety.

    I believe it's called "giving advice"

    TA/A Defender

    Stealth and grant invisibility might be ok if you're willing to replace them, but you could also think about Maneuvers and Assault. Both of them (the leadership and stealth pools) are going to bring things to the team, as well as providing you personally with something beneficial.

    Considering how much aggro flash arrow gives, aid self is definitely not a bad idea.
    Fair point, and I did like the way Aid Self had many more slots than Aid Other in the original build.
  9. I wholeheartedly endorse taking dark mastery over power -- it's just more fun, and the self rez and PBAoE stun are helpful.

    TA/A Defender

    Both Flash and Poison Gas Arrow are being taken way, way too late. The debuff on these is fairly sizeable and WONDERFUL for soloing and team play. Why are you leaving them for so long?

    Why aid other and aid self?

  13. I had just started playing WoW (/shame), actually, and was complaining in a chatroom that I frequented (/additional shame) about the inability to customize my character sufficiently. One of the chatters mentioned this game and I gave it a whirl. Discontinued WoW shortly after and have stuck with this ever since. Well, off and on...but I always come back to this.
  14. Ooooh, that's a tough one. I would probably go with either the radial cardiac tree for my DP/TA corruptor or I'd wait until my crab hit 50 and then go with him as my only alpha character.

    Kudos to the devs. Hope the rest of the playerbase enjoys the result of my suggesting it in the first place, except Psyrene.

    Plus, you know, more AS damage. Gotta love that.
    o.O

  17. The radial musculature slots look good for my DP/TA corruptor.

    Aww, I was going to say something similar to this, but make it more fun.

    Any primary, any secondary, only power pool choices after level 6. Throw brawl on auto and never use any other attacks.

    Go!
  19. I wasn't a fan of being rooted for a significantly longer time. It appears we've arrived at an impasse.
  20. My DP/TA corruptor is currently level 49 -- I love him. He is by far my most favorite character, both in concept and play. A lot of people ask how bad the redraw is and how it affects my play and, quite honestly, it doesn't bother me whatsoever. Conceptually, the combo makes for a great mercenary/weapons specialist-style character. Practically, he is a walking death machine of death, death, and more death. The combo of incendiary rounds -> flash arrow -> poison gas arrow -> glue arrow -> acid arrow -> oil slick arrow -> hail of bullets wipes out groups fairly quickly, and any stragglers are picked off with my remaining powers. The added bonus of ice arrow and an ammo swapped suppressive fire means I'm holding bosses, which is just ridiculously handy. Once I get him all IO'd to crap, I'd like to write up a guide...for funsies.

    Getting Fired

    If you're fired, there's no obligation to pay you unemployment. Your employer can dispute your application for benefits if you're fired. Just FYI, in case you want to try one of the above ideas
    I vote for stress leave. Your job is waiting for you when you come back and everyone is really nice and tries to be very careful around you. This may mean presents and offerings of food.

    Empathy Opinions

The only time when I ever have healing aura on auto is when I am dual boxing and don't want to juggle as the characters so much.
    This intrigues me. I've never come across anyone who's taken AP over HO.
