I also support the concept of a Vangaurd pistol.

Eigmatic... AND sadistic. I like.

My Crab acts that way all the time. He met a Mutant who could throw fire and called him a freak, all while cocking a crab arm back into place.

Mutants seem to be the MOST accepted of the hero types in Paragon, and it seems the only people who arent as accepted are Kheldians/Aliens. After all, there are "Earth for Humans" bilboards all over the place.

I hate to say it, but I agree.

In the amount of time it takes for your sniper attack to cast, you could have casted 2 other blasts who's total damage exceeds that of the sniper attack and has Zero percent chance of being interrupted no matter what.

I understand completely. Im only a 36 month vet and I STILL havent unlocked some of the costume parts. I like the power drones and the non-combat pets and the map reveal because they'e not universally game-changing like the Vet Team Teleport or the costume chunks. The First few costume unlocks for Vet Time are nice because you get through them fairly quickly, but a new player coming in to see they cant get the cool new Witch Doctor costume set until playing for 75 months would be fairly depressing.

100% Agree. I dont feel any of what they added is unbalanced or bad, but after the costume parts and stuff, its disappointing to see silly buffs instead of at least interesting ones like the map reveal power they added. The animation was cool, and while it's effect wasnt exactly a fantastic advantage, it was at least something different and interesting.

Considering my only real experience with Shield is on my Shield/SS tank, I'll have to say that AAO adds alot of DPS in the long run. However, when soloing an AV, you're only fighting 1 target or so at a time (depending on the AV, but generally not much more than 1), which makes AoEs much less desirable, and makes AAO add a small damage buff rather than a reputable one. A Fire or Elec/Shield can make the most out AAO because of their silly amount of AoE DPS potential, especially in farming or grouping situations. Once the AV comes along that bonus from AAO is ging to get harder and harder to notice. The +DMG set bonuses are pretty easy to maneuver into your build, especially considering that they're in most of the paths to positional defense in the relevant sets. Dark/SR can lead to an incredibly resilient and self-sufficient build thanks to the passive +20% reharge from SR and self heal/end recovery tools from Dark Melee. Your defense softcap will be relatively easy and cheap to aspire too, at which point Recharge and the other goodies will come into place. The build itself wouldn't be too difficult to put together and would work incredibly well, especially on a budget.

I keep thinking of Invulnerability for some reason now. A Dark/Invul could be a viable option as well. While Smash/Leth def softcap wont be as easy to reach, you'll have another self heal, as well as quite reputable resistances on top of that. Fire/Invul might work out better in that repect, leaving the build open for grouping and AV soloing options, wheras dark/invul will be a Soloer in the highest regard.

OMG BOTH. Build Up + SHield Charge followed by Ice Patch will hit for some decent damage, followed by free Knockdown, it's a beautiful combination. Id say skip Ice Sword and Greater Ice sword and Take Frost. GIS is one fo teh most TERRIBLE single target attacks int eh game, and Ice Sword doesnt get much better, whereas Frost is incredible.

Like killing Statesman Solo for no reason?

Yeah.
