  1. I'm relatively new here and there's such a wealth of fan content here I'm not sure where most of the community gravitates. If I understand correctly, Paragon Wiki centers around official, canonical setting / character / etc info, Ouroboros Portal is used for player content on all servers, and Virtueverse is used for player content restricted to the Virtue server. If I want to get involved and active, where do I start? Are one of the two player wikis more widely used? Is there a horrible and dramatic faction war between them? Do most people simply copy/paste articles on to both? Do they draw different crowds? And is there some other site(s) I should know about too?

    Pardon the bombardment of questions, I just have a lot more fun with this sort of thing if I'm actively involved, so I'm just looking to find out how to make that happen.

    Thanks for your help!
  2. Thanks for the responses so far, it is reassuring to know I was doing well, but maybe I wasn't very clear in my first post on what it is I really need help with. My biggest problem is that I haven't the foggiest idea where to go from here because I don't remember anything about where I was eventually headed with this build. If I was to level up right now, I wouldn't be able to place my three slots because I have no clue whatsoever where they are needed and what to put in them. I have no idea what power I was going to take at 35, much less the whole rest of the way to 50. If I had to advance this character now it would literally be by guessing....so I need some help extrapolating this build forward.

    I remember I had both IR and ID at one point but respec'ed out of them. I don't remember why I did or if I was going to buy them again. I don't remember why I got Stamina when Transference already means I don't need to keep cabs in my inspiration tray - or if Transference only keeps me going indefinitely because I have stamina. I don't even remember for sure which APP I was going to use - I think it might have been Power Mastery but I really just don't know. I don't remember if I wanted to draw from a fourth pool for something. Was I going to go sentinel->thunderous blast -> epic powers? Was I going to take some Leadership to provide even more to the team? Where do my remaining slots go and what goes in them? Maybe a res? What sets will I eventually be using - and would I be aiming at frankenslotting for big numbers (I think I remember that being a way around enhancement diversification, right?) or are there set bonuses that I need? Should I be trying to get perma-hasten? I don't even remember if hasten affects it's own recharge or not!

    tl;dr - it's cool he's good now but what next?
  3. As the topic says, I'm just coming back to this game after several months and am trying to re-learn everything (I was still pretty newb when I originally stopped, but I feel like I'm practically back at square one now!)

    I've made some new characters to refamiliarize myself with the game, but I do want to pick up my old mains again - partly because to not do so would be a waste of the time I already invested in them, partly because I enjoy their concepts. Blueside, my main was a level 32 kin/electric def (redside was a thugs/pain mm in the late 20s if you care) and I've been playing around with him a bit but I really don't remember what I was doing or where I was going with him, so any help you guys can provide would be great.

    Attached is his current build. I don't remember what order I bought the powers/slots in, I literally just opened his manage enhancements screen and copied down everything I saw into mids. Yes those are supposed to be level 35 IOs in every slot, I remember before I left spending a lot of time making a small fortune at wentworths then going on an inventing spree. I don't have any memory of what I was planning to do with this character in the future (hell, I don't even remember what TF or arc or whatever I was going to do next!) and I don't remember enough to figure out a build on my own, so again anything you guys can figure out about where to take this character (and suggestions on how to start playing him effectively again) would be really really helpful.
