Oh yes, I fear you. Bookkeepers are a wild and crazy bunch.

PLers and RMTers? Not so much. -
Mercs are going to deal slightly less damage than bots and have less control as well. I won't tell you "Lulz Mercs suck go Bots", but I will tell you that both sets have considerable knockback, so I would suggest secondaries like /Dark, /Traps, /Storm, or /Pain. If all else fails bring out the bubbles. If you want an annoying challenge roll Poison. Honestly Mercs work somewhat like Bots in being that they both stay ranged so basically any secondary that works with bots will usually work with Mercs.

Quote:I saw Martial Arts in that post!Originally Posted by Clouded
I'd like to see Martial Arts or Spines for Primaries and Ninjitsu or Regeneration for Secondaries.
And to be off-topic, I'd rather have some new sets all together.

Now, now, we all need to come to our own realization that we have a problem. The problem is we enjoy the actual game. Now please, tell us your name and how you found us...

And we're called AE "Annonymous" why? Feels like a self-help group in RL >_>

Quote:I find Energy Aura more enjoyable for a Brute than I think Ninjitsu would be.Originally Posted by LuxunS
Is there a reason no one wants a brute version of ninjitsu? IMO its one of the best damage mitigation sets available. It can easily hit the soft-cap in defense w/ moderate levels of defense debuff resistance. Has an elude-like tier 9, and a self heal on par with reconstruction.
I know traditional ninjas may not seem very brutish... But certainly there is fiction with unstoppable powerhouses portrayed as ninja -
Quote:TonyV is actually hitting the nail on the head here. And the cheat code thing was an excellent example, V.Originally Posted by TonyV
*whoosh...* There goes the point, right over your head.
The point, of course, is that "Make it really easy and leave it up to the players to make it as hard as they want" is not a practical MO. No matter how easy you make it, there will always be someone who wants it to be even easier, and it doesn't take long before you start making the game less fun, not more.
For a few months, I thought Doom was a cool game and played it a lot. Then someone told me about the cheat codes. For another few days, I thought it was a really cool game. Then I never played it again. Sure, I could have played it exactly like I always had before, but why bother? I had seen the whole game already, and it seemed pointless.
This game is a little different in that "winning" isn't really the ultimate goal. Still, it does need that hook to get people interested and hold them long enough to transition to where the real fun is. Without it, we all might as well be playing Second Life.
So if you think it's a strawman, then answering my original question shouldn't be too terribly difficult for you. Are you willing to accept the premise that there is such a thing as making the game too easy? -
Could use more explosions >_>

Quote:NGE ruined the game. Otherwise I'm sure it would still be very successful currently (and of course I'd still be playing).Originally Posted by Smurch
And look at how successful that turned out to....
...oh. Nevermind. -
I still think Tear Gas should be lowered to about the same as Flash Bang, or at least to 50 seconds. The hold on it isn't worth a 90 sec timer.

Lan-kun SS/EA will be ready to smash face.

Fastest way to 50 is to get into a raid based SG/VG and talk them into doing the "Cathedral of Pain Trial." Deliver the goods, and keep clicking the end contact. There is a glitch (exploit if you will) that gives you mish complete xp, while not finishing the mish. You can just click your way to lvl 50. Only takes a few hours, and time travel, but if your over level 25, you can go to Ouroboros to travel in time.
The other cool thing is by doing "Cathedral of Pain Trial" you help your SG get some really nift base items (like debt protection, or +dmg).
How long have you been away? Why would you lie to the guy like that?
That trial has been shut down ever since September of 2006.
Also, to the original post mentioned above, just play to have fun. Take it slow and enjoy the game, because the faster you get there the faster you'll get bored. Do some cool stuff, explore zones, take in the scenes, hang with your buds, do stuff your SG, make a mish or two, and generally just play for the enjoyment of the game itself.
