I'm pretty sure this was suggested before.

Barrier is redundant if you have pets soft-capped. I'd go with something more akin to Ageless or Rebirth (Max HP is nice, but the regen stacks wonderfully with Triage Beacon).

Seem to remember multiple open PvP server suggestions. Unfortunately, it wouldn't help generate a PvP population at all, especially not with PvP as it is now. Bill already said it in detail.

Scrapyard is the only GM I have the worst time with. Of all the GMs I've fought, he's definitely the one with fire ants in his trousers.

I want to know:


How to set the level range of a custom AV, Elite Boss, or Boss. This would be much akin to some of the 35-39, 45-54, or 20-29 crew. What I mean to say is, how do I set the Custom's level range without having to set the range of the mission to cover it.


For example: Level 25-29 mission with a Custom set for 31-38

I dunno if that is still plagued by the messed up AE "changes". I remember him saying something about the dialogue being funky, but the story when I ran it was superb.

Alpha, I think you missed a part of his suggestion. It would work more as a health-drop thing (think the special knockup from Stutter). A back smack that could KB everyone around the GM. And to keep people from getting upset over this, the KB special could stop his regeneration momentarily.

Rather see Ancient China honestly. I'd be down for Japan so long as we didn't have "those" players running around in it.

Hahaha

I can imagine Jurassik Nerf-batting people away with his carclub.

I agree, both for the sake of concepts and for the sake of not waiting 30 seconds should you accidentally exit the tailor screen or wish to switch to another costume because you changed your mind. I think 10 seconds would be a nice timer, maybe even 5.

I do hate it when an Archon suddenly Crane Kicks you into oblivion.

I guess I'm in love or something, but Animate Stone practically MADE the set for me solo. My progress went from a crawl to a nice jog. Can't wait to tackle some serious challenges when I hit 35.

This happened even before the Demon introduction, Psy.

They need to make Pet AI a little more unique with the way they cycle attacks. An update a while back made it so that Critters tried to cycle through ALL of their attacks. Since Pet AI is tied to the Critter AI in this way, ranged pets are tempted to run in and make good use of their melee moves (and by good use I mean horribly insufferable).

Pain Domination IS pretty cool. I really liked the set on my MM, although it can be a bit eccentric with the healing. World of Pain is probably my favorite part of the set, as it brings a little bit of everything to the table. Who wouldn't want 19% (20 with Cardiac I'm pretty sure) extra resistance to all damage forms? Also, picking up leadership is a pretty good idea.


Fair warning, Pain can be merciless on the endurance bar as you ride to smoother ground (and I mean pain as in little pay-off for what you're tossing out on your pets during the lower levels). Blooms during the mid 20s, early 30s. Good set, just takes some extra effort.

Bots/Pain is very solid. Especially with some resistance uniques and a well-slotted World of Pain. +Recharge is your friend!

Eh...

Nope.

Usually if I'm solo and not up to sepnding cash on inventions, I like to focus on Hold, Damage, and Accuracy in Fossilize, and the same goes for Stone Pirson (I usually don't take the AoE immobilize because it neutralizes the wonderful Earthquake ability).

Recharge in everything else usually, with maybe a slow enhancement in quicksand. I like to slot Stoney for Damage and Endurance (a touch of accuracy, since the poor bloke suffers -25% ToHit), and leave the rest to Quicksand.

P.S. Stalagmites and Salt Crystals are pretty sweet, especially the Salt Crystals. Can be a useful tool to prevent said ambush from overwhelming your friends.

Running 33 at the moment, so not much else to say about current slotting other than what I specified.

That Animated Stone, he's tough and isn't afraid of nothing.

I don't often play controllers, but when I do, I pick Earth Control.

Earth Control, for when you really don't care about slotting for accuracy.

What's that, Mother Mayhem? Can't turn Stoney's brain to liquid? I can't hear you over the sound of stone fists in your face.

Demon/Storm is full of juicy chaos.
