I would be ok if they gave out a special 1 use only respec that would change your costume back to bane and removed all your powers for you to rechoose em.

Doesn't surprise me. If GR prepurchase ppl are getting demons in April then I assume they would want to test them in open a bit at end of March.

Provoke. I made sure I took the Tanker taunt equivalent . I still think that if you want to stay in BG mode it is better to take an attack. You aren't able to choose which foe or foes your pets attack and they generally choose different targets and negate your taunt aura. If you do more damage though you can hold the attention of the higher con foe.

I have been involved in several debates about the use of taunt and general use of aggro. While I have never been against it before I have always chosen a single target attack in my builds. I took a thugs/dark and a thugs/storm to 50 mostly solo and used dual wield the whole way. I have also tried many other builds and sets but got bored in the 20s and 30s.
Yesterday after some lively debate I decided to try Taunt out and see how I did. I rolled a bots/traps and 2boxed him to 8 then put in taunt and went out solo'ing. Frankly I found it to be a waste of space. It grabs the attention of foes for 1 attack only and then the bots attacks pulls them away from you. If you drop caltrops they simply ignore your tauntage and run away. If you just stand there taunting you may get lucky enough to grab the attention of 1 foe during the battle and take 1 attack but the constant pet attacks pretty much cancel you out.
Of course as you go on you can slot it up and make it recharge faster and be more effective but at the same time you will be getting more pets with more attacks that fight against your taunts.
So ok you can drop it to pull foes round corners but you can do the same thing with an attack and also add to the damage dealing.
I think it is far better to leave out taunt get an attack and concentrate on buffs/debuffs.

I like the idea of papparazzi. Hero side could have a special pose emote and villain side could smack em in the face.

I played a pure healer once to get my first 50 hero and I pulled a lot of teams out of the fire and prevented many team wipes.
Relax! Once I hit 38ish I found I got quite bored nobody needed me anymore and I had to change my build to join in.
Yeah at 50 there isn't a particular AT required except maybe on the signature TF/SFs

Hey closed beta people!!!
Stop hogging!!!!!!
Move your stuff outta there and let the rest of us do some Testing!!!!!

Signature TF/SFs have foes set to max level no matter the level of the leader. eg.
There seems to be some kind of lag bug at the moment in TFs where the missions don't clear at exit, had it happen to my team yesterday as well on a clockwork.

Lame and also now cliche'd. Has been done heaps of times before and I think Southpark did it best (lol Professor Chaos and General Disarray).

The end hog that you can't slot with the long recharge that only hits half the time?

Hello brother villain. I too play blue side a lot but I am only there to infiltrate the paragon heirarchy and bring it down from the inside. Join me.


Oh and please don't tell anyone.

I didn't want to give the impression that I rely on my ST attack all the time. Of course I would usually drop down my debuffs and holds to start the action.
I used it a lot in early levels because it does do quite a good amount of damage to foes at those levels and helps to finish the missions quicker. At later levels I found it was useful to finish off that last little sliver of health on the last foe standing so I kept it in my build.

To anyone who visits this thread and who just bought a booster pack it can take several minutes for goodies to appear. I would buy them then go do something else for a bit and then log in.

Alpha. Taking Alpha.
My bad.

You can get one attack. I always get the second (slightly longer recharge) ST attack on my mm's so I can draw aggro or help with the damage when I have nothing else to do. Why is that wrong?

I cannot bring myself to delete any character above 30 I just can't.
I have deleted a ton of lowbies though (after transfering their inf). One was the first toon I ever made back in 2005 a bots/ff mm called Cyber Tim who had the exposed brain look. He was just too busy.

Sarcastic comment that gets taken seriously and provokes many angry responses.

I haven't liked it in the past I found it very weak especially at lower levels but a few days ago I had a look at a dk/dk tank. It has 2 heals, a dmg buff, single and group fear, stuns, hold plus the end drain and I reckon it could be a ubertank. Level 8 so far I am 2boxing with a rad to get through the early levels.

I'm fine with it as long as it still awesomesauce.

Clever quip.

My first 50 hero was a pure emp where I used ss and stealth and never attacked. I only ever had the first attack pick in my build until epics. Noone seemed to mind but it was freedom.

Just saying cause you said you wanted to play team support.

They could already be implementing my idea!?
Win.
