I have noticed this before. Usually the weeks before a new issue is released. Maybe they are gearing up for some kind of new update or something.

Oro is all about going back to get badges you missed. Mayhems/Safeguards have badges in them.

QED.

I played a pure emp to 50 and had a lot of fun on the way. Some teams kept inviting me constantly because I kept them alive. I played in stealth and only had 2 attacks from my secondary.
It all changed when I got bored around the early 40s when noone needed my buffs anymore so I respec'd and started getting my hands dirty.

This was a while ago though and with all the tinkering and softcapping these days I don't think it is necessary to have pure healer builds anymore. Also with Dual Builds this argument is redundant as you can now fill both roles.

Hi I am in Sydney but I work nights so I play on Triumph usually. I wouldn't mind doing stuff on Friday nights though. I did join some friends for a bit and I have now inherited their VG and I could bring over 1 or 2 high level toons from Triumph.

I've been on 6 or 7 successful ITF's and always we would have 3 or 4 damage dealers who would stack on Rommie 5 times. The first 2 times are tough of course but as long as the dps is good enough you will always win. Sleeps and holds are great for controlling the ambushes.

Hi-Larious.

I tried a thug/ta but kb issue is bad. ds/ta should be great though I will try that one sometime soon.

Ah well that is how it is listed in my keybinds file I guess that doesn't mean anything.

I have never changed the tab key. It is set to target_enemy_near in my keybinds file. If it wont target who I want I look at the foes feet and press tab again (if im next to it) or use the mouse. I haven't seen it target a dead foe.

I changed my sig.

I took a thug/dark and a thug/storm to 50 mostly solo. I only had problems keeping the suicidale fire bomber alive. Sure they weren't AV killers but they were very fun and entertaining on all normal missions.

I'll shuttup about them now.

Oh dmg and survivability I see don't go thugs then. But if you want pure entertainment then make a thugs/storm that is too funny.

I saw a lvl 50 ambush follow someone up there once by flying.

Nice guide I go solo/team on my buffers and mm's (and I have the crab backpack on my Bane ).
I think you should add that temp powers like Raptor pack aren't shared but vet powers and booster packs are.

Oh cmon get real ppl. Thugs are best for damage, bruiser has ss, fire aoe attacks, both lt's have assault for hecks sake.

I've been trolling the forums since 2007 and I don't remember this at any time in the 2 years I've been on.

I believe there was a response once from a dev where he said he wanted to take the agro system out the back and shoot it. Not gonna happen gang.

I'm working my /regen again. I stopped for a long time cause it was clickey but I added as much defense as I could and it played better. Had fun on an itf yesterday but only cause of a good kin. Don't think it will ever be fotm.

I'm only 38 and haven't io'd him out yet so with epics I think he will be awesome.

Pine how do you use phase shift? If you drop it you still get hit with the attacks already underway so it doesn't work as an ohnoes power you might as well just run for it which works more often than not. Is it for pvp?

No pants, but is it better? You decide.

Stalkers only do 1 thing well. If you want to experiment I'd recommend you try a mastermind.

Well firstly I have good news for you. Assasin strike has a chance to cause aoe fear and I find it drops enough that you don't really need to worry about presence.
The glaring mistake is that you have delayed as and buildup. They are your bread and butter as a stalker and must be taken immediately at 6 and 8.

Rage is different now it really saps your end but ss is still best.

I stopped playing my claw/regen a year ago at lvl 36 cause he was too clickey. Yesterday as an experiment I used his second build and threw in as much defense as I could (with so's) and tried him out. I got 12% defense on everything and found him a joy to play. Even a little def on a /regen goes a long way.

The devs spent a long time setting up a flexible system so we didn't have to worry about what is best only what will suit our style. If you want to tank then look at dpa and slot end, if you want to scrap then look at dps and max your burst damage.
