Stamina – 23 27 34 43 - performance shifter+ / end mod / 2 IO end mod

Excellent - thats all the info I was looking for !

Crab Spider - Arm Lash
If I slot this with
ERADICATION - CHANCE FOR ENERGY DAMAGE
OBLITERATION - CHANCE FOR SMASHING DAMAGE
LADY GREY - CHANCE FOR NEGATIVE ENERGY DAMAGE
SCIROCCO'S DEVRISH - CHANCE FOR LETHAL DAMAGE

Will these all have a chance to fire off when the power is used, and if so - let say that 2 of them rolled a 'hit' , would damage from both 'hits' apply, or only the strongest or what. Im not real sure I understand how this scenario would work.

Advice?

Im one of the longtime leaders of The Blood Pack which originated on the Triumph server in 2005 and was in the top 10 for over a year before finally moving to Virtue. Most of our active players are long time players and someone is usually on in the evenings. Peak time for us is usually between 8pm eastern and 1am eastern.
We enjoy running Strike Forces, playing around in AE sometimes, arena fighting, just general teaming to run missions and even have Monday nights set aside so everyone can run their MM and team together.
We don’t really have any n00bs since we don’t do much recruiting. A solid base of 8 veteran players and no one acts like the town idiot. We are for the most part all grown adults with adult sense of humor. (Heck we even have 3 females, so maybe that’s a bonus if you got females in your VG as well )
Basically, we are looking to coalition with 1 or 2 more groups that have a solid player base and that are on around the same time frame to increase teaming, chit chat and fun !

If this sounds a lot like your group, please shoot me an ingame tell or email.
@Blue Lava

PS - This was also posted in the SG recruitment forum, but wanted it to be seen by any and all in Virtue that may be interested.

ADDITIONAL- I was asked to provide a little more feedback, so here was the response

There are 8 solid players, but sometimes only 3 or 4 or 5 may be on on a given night due to work / RL related issues (sometimes all 8, sometimes a few more may show up) .

We dont have a problem with a large or small VG. We are just looking for one that has some really active players (preferably more than 2) that are mostly grown adults that might be able to join us in some fun, or ask us to join in some of their fun. Also, its a way for the people in our group to branch out and hopefully get to team with others a little easier and get to know some of the other villains in the paradise Lord Recluse has created for us all.
One last note, we are not an RPng VG. We're just some older guys and gals enjoying some fun causing havock and mayhem.

Just wondering if anyone is still running this red-side? Due to work scheduling, I was never able to get in on one before because of the times it was done. But now my schedule has changed, so Im lookin to get in on one...

Lots of favorites, but currently I just love the whole storyline of the villain morality mission "Speak to your Future Self".
Everytime I run it, I read the script word for word.. I find it so enjoyable !

For one thing, I would move that LotG +recharge (you currently have slotted in Mind Link)over to Combat Training Defensive so you get the 1.13% health bonus that 3 LotGs provide

Stand near any of the markets for long enough in the evenings and you'll see a few broadcasts for recruting.. Also still see broadcasts in Mercy and Atlas of people trying to recruit lowbies.

Also remember that some of the mission arc names are not the same in Oro as they are from the contact.. You may want to pull up that contact in wiki, look at her missions and see if any are renamed when doing them via Oro..

Ice Armor / War Mace - Lvl 50
I usually set mine for regular missions at +1/+6
for anything else (solo bosses or AVs) I set at 0/+1

The best hope I can offer you is that once you get your AoE attacks using War Mace, things will be a lot easier and you can up your difficulty to match your powers. Shield is a great defense and War Mace is a nice offense, but especially once you get Crowd Control going.

Sorry - corrected the link
PS - The next time you run your morailty mission, it should reward you with a single hero merit which you can redeem for certain IO set recipes..

About to head home.. Wondering if today's downtime was strictly server maintenance or if there was a patch included?
Thanks

One other thing you can do is see if any of your local 'warehouse' type stores, such as Big Lots has any 'Good vs Evil' editions left, which you can pick up for less than a booster pack would cost you. My VG has given those away in the past. You can usually find for 6-8$ and gives a free month and the GvE bonuses (jet pack, pocket d transporter, costume pieces). Only good for those that havent already bought that pack tho.

When my counter starts going past 2, I open about 6 more windows to connect to game. Eventually, one will get there and you can kill out the other ones. Sometimes, it just happens.

The "SPEAK TO YOUR FUTURE SELF" has for the last 3 occasions completed way too early. Long before I speak to (and defeat) my future self, the mission completes as soon as I run into a mob near myself. When I first ran this, it worked fine and I had to speak and defeat my future self for the mission to end .... Anyone else having this problem?
(two different toons this has happened to)
