You have every chance to break away. Nobody's holding you here forcing you to post.

Mind, I'm not telling you to go away, but this is representative of the rhetoric you've been using. You've decided to make yourself a martyr for a cause of which you seem to be the only proponent so far.

Casual players can ignore the Incarnate system, others can participate in it to any depth they desire. This is a win-win. I don't think it can necessarily be said that 100% of development time is going toward the Incarnate stuff, either; while it certainly is getting the focus right now, there are always additions made to the standard game, as Arcanaville so excellently put it.

Introversion doesn't really mean "hates dealing with other people" anyway; that's just anti-social. Introverted means you're more relaxed and comfortable when you're alone; that's how you recharge your batteries after stress. Extroverted people relieve stress by socializing. That doesn't mean introverted people don't like socializing, that just means it takes effort for them.

I remember when I first heard about the Teleport power, I tried to imagine how it would work. Could you just pick a point on the city map and jump to it?

This short range popping was not what I had in mind for a travel power.

One's physical, one's mental. The two are not inextricably linked.

Put a couple fly enhancements in it.

The only people that beat my hoverblaster to a spawn are those with Superspeed on.

I'm stealing this. Can I steal this? Because I'm stealing this.

I just started a Bots/Traps MM last night, and I wasn't wholly sold on Traps. This sold me.

Do you consider inspirations tricks too? Because temp powers are like bigger inspirations that do stuff.

You know you can just look up the Flight Speed number under Combat Attributes and see that it's capped, right?

Word. Hover is excellent if you've got a couple fly enhancements in it.

If she's trolling, then she's working the long con on me and the people she plays with in-game.

The original question wasn't so much "should I say anything or not," but "what's the best way to say it." The OP might have benefited more from explicitly saying "and I am saying it no matter what," but it stands either way.

True. At that point I guess you just have to hope your mitigation holds out. Good to know. I figured they'd be higher, but I'm winging it at work.

Musculature seems more for non-Blasters, really. Being able to put in procs is nice, sure, but I imagine it's more for the buffers/debuffers who want to use non-damage IO sets, like if a Cold/Ice Defender would rather focus on using Slow IO sets for their Ice Blast powers rather than Ranged Damage IO sets. They'll get the full effect of Musculature then.

You might not understand the scale of the divided damage, though. The others have explained it, but let me throw some numbers on you.

Base MM HP at level 50 is 803. I'm at work, so I don't have the exact HP numbers for pets, but Minion HP at 50 is 430, so let's go with that just for an example. So your setup looks like this:

You: 803
Battle Drone: 430
Battle Drone: 430
Battle Drone: 430
Protector Bot: 430
Protector Bot: 430
Assault Bot: 430
Total HP Pool: 3383

That's a lot of HP to play with. Let's say you're up against an EB or AV with a big attack, like Total Focus, that does a whopping 1200 damage. If it hits you and you don't have BG mode on, you're dead. If it hits a bot, only the bot's dead, but you have to spend some time resummoning and possibly upgrading, and in the meantime you have less firepower or support, depending on who died.

But if you have BG mode on and you taunt the AV so it hits you with Total Focus? Well, with BG mode, you take 2 shares of damage and your bots take 1 share each, so that's 8 shares total. 1200 damage/8 shares = 150 damage per share. You take 300 damage and your bots take 150 damage each. Everyone survives.

By spreading out the damage, you vastly reduce the effectiveness of the attack. And because you're an MM, you probably have buffs or heals to repair that damage, or even mitigate it in the first place. That's the power of proper tankerminds.

They work cheap. You can probably get one for minimum wage.

He was having OJ and vodka to celebrate new back tats when he dropped his drink onto the keyboard. He typed out that post using Windows' on-screen keyboard (or the character map).

I'm still giddy over having gotten Electrofyte.

He's got what plants need! Now in Punch flavor!

It's not so much a question of offense as it is of accuracy. Transgender implies transition from one sex to the other, but Cat's characters were never biologically male to begin with, nor do they want to become male.

I honestly have yet to find a good word (other than futa and shemale, which have their own connotative problems) that accurately describes Cat's characters.

Three cheers for the boob slider!

So is the entire army of baddies in the warehouse rushing the front door once the Hero Alarm goes up, but there's a damn good reason they don't.

If it makes you feel better, we can have a round of lolfuta?
