Quote:Well, yeah, Dark Mastery has the faster recharging Soul Drain, and Dark Consumption...but...it totally lacks Soul Storm! It's so pretty!Originally Posted by Beltzhak
Nice build. I would consider getting dark mastery for the better soul drain though. -
I'm not oppossed to Hasten, it's more that I can usually come up with enough +RCH outside of using Hasten, to obtain the DPS chain I'm trying for.
Right now as it is, I just lack the End Rec. :/ Hasten I would think just make that more apparent.
Though if I do add Hasten to the build with 5 second off of perma easily enough, that's 111 DPS on the attacks alone, add in Tar Patch and -Regen...the build obviously needs some tweaking. -

Hello, I know some folks won't want to respond with a build, that ok but would some of you post some spine/wp builds that are survivable? I don't have mids or I'd post mine so you guys could do a full autopsy, also since I lack mids could you post them long form instead of just a data chunk. I'm more than willing to spend inf on this build but I'd rather not use the 3 big PVP shinies please. Thanks in advance.
Here's my DB/WP build. It's of course a bit off, but should help give you an idea of what to try for in a Spines/WP...
I'd only 4 slot Lunge with the Kinetic Combats...as it's really a terrible attack to be using!

Okay, made some changes...I thought I had moved that 5th slot in DN, guess I hadn't.
Didn't worry about the KB protection to much, as with lots of defense and the -tohit, on my Defender, that covered KB missing quite a bit, but I liked the idea of getting one KB protection IO into the build.
However, looking over the build, I'm wondering if the Apoc set is worth putting into Fire Blast. The dmg proc is nice, and the +RCH, but none of that really helps the DPS chain any, maybe I should put Thunderstrikes in the attack instead, as that will be a bit more ENDREC and even more Range Defense.

While I want to say Scrapper...something to think about now when it comes to end game content, which is what the OP has mentioned.
DM/INV with Barrier = 90% Resists across the board! -
Here's my build! Curious if anyone can think of possible changes. As it is right now, the Nuke is taken purely for occaissional fun use of seeing a big explosion. I have no intention to use it often, as it would drop my toggles!
The last two powers are only taken as *shrug* whatever powers. ShouldI replace them?
I went for high defense, as I have found with my Dark/Ice, Dark/Sonic Defenders, that high defense makes a BIG difference when combined with -to hit debuffs.
So with these powers in mind, any changes one could think I should make?

Quote:I love this idea...more so if it made NPCs automatically say "OMGWTF! They're still alive!?"Originally Posted by FredrikSvanberg
A fear effect would be awesome. I'd love that. It would have to be powerful enough to affect pretty much everything, though, even if it only lasts for something like 8 seconds. It should be just as powerful as the stun in Soul Transfer, at least. And I think it would fit both powersets.
But I don't think the fear effect needs to be as strong as the stun in Soul Transfer. that's a mag 30 Stun.
I'd be happy with a mag 5 or 6 Fear effect. Just enough to effect Bosses and below. -

You know, I re-read this like five times and I still can't tell if he's being sarcastic or not.
As to why *I* contributed to this thread - one, I am one of the folks who gives a damn about storyline and canon and all that... and two, coz I wanted to see if anyone else thought this was completely out of left field because I was afraid it would wreck my books.

Unless there's some place they're telling new character advancement stories that I don't know about, anytime they add new content would be when to reveal "so and so like each other!"
That said, I don't think this thread has done anything to say one way or the other in which way it actually is, and more of a "Well I like the idea of them as couple" or "Meh I don't". -
Here's my current DB/WP Build. There's a few 1 slot power choices one can easily replace with for added END RED or +DMG, or sacrifice some +REC/+HEALTH for concept wanting epic pool powers (or Shadow Meld even).
Expensive, but what I'm currently running live, as of now. Yup, I really use those levels of IOs on my build. One can easily just go with the max levels for the IO sets, but I like feeling all powerful when I exempt down too

I always thought Kings Row was like a "district" within the major city limits.
I realize not all zones are parts of Paragon City as well, at least that's my understanding of Striga. -
I don't think there has to be a change to these shield buffs.
I also don't expect the shielding set users to buff an entire league (if they want to go for it), but yes I would expect this from one on the same team.
My suggestion, if they're on the team and not shielding the team, kick them or just don't invite them along the next time. -
I like the character, but isn't it Paragon City, and Kings Row is part of the city, not a city all unto itself? Or have I been mistaken this whole time?

Quote:Truthfully, I'd say you're inthe majority.Originally Posted by shaggy5
I am reading a lot in the forums about how people do not like this storyline or the continuity doesn't make sense because this contact shouldn't have knowledge of this or what not.
When I play, I just "go with it" and enjoy. Often, I am not even aware of the storyline, just the objectives. Am i riding solo here?
Please don't think I am asking others to feel like I do. I say enjoy the story, get frustrated at inconsistencies, whatever. All I am saying is that I am not there.
I tend to try to stick to some of which makes sense to stick to, but then, I realize have to ignore other bits here and there, but then I RP, and if you RP, I really don't see how you can't skip some of it, when you run into characters that blantantly go against CoH lore. -

Hell, just go to Pocket D or the RWZ, depending on server.
Sucks if you're not 50 these days, though. Did a quick search on one of the servers earlier. 50 people listed at the time. 46 of them were 50, and in Pocket D or in an Incarnate Farm... er, Raid. One was 49. One was 12. Two were in the mid-20s. Had that happen during a Rikti raid, as well - my mid-teen Controller had three Rikti raids to choose from... all to herself. yeah... no.
Edit: It's another reason I'll usually argue against adding more zones (well, other than something non-trashy for villainside.) Praetoria makes sense to have them, yes, but our population is so spread out (other than gathering for Incarnate Farms) it seems a bit bare at times. -
Quote:I thought people hated lawyers because it was becoming more about the WIN with prosecuters, than anything else.Originally Posted by Local_Man
That often quoted line from Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part 2 ("The first thing we'll do, let's kill all the lawyers.") is misunderstood. The context is a couple of murderous low-life guys were dreaming of what they would do if one of them could become king. The actual intent of the line is somewhat in dispute even by Shakespeare scholars, but since it was spoken by Dick the Butcher, a wise-cracking murderous bad guy, many believe it is, in fact, a back-handed compliment to lawyers and their role of protecting rights.
Folks forget that there are lawyers on either side of most disputes. The problem is that the lawyers have hate directed at them due to the circumstances. Think about it. If you get sued, you hate the other lawyer, win or lose. If you lose, you hate your own lawyer, too. Even if you win, you are not too fond of your own lawyer, even if he or she did a great job, once you get the bill.
And yet most attorneys work hard to do a great job dealing with the messes their clients get into. Like any profession, there are bad ones but the majority are very good.
Sorry for the threadjack, but misuse of that quote is a pet peeve of mine.
"He's innocent, we know this, but the evidence also points to him."
"Well we need to punish someone and we've come this far!"
Defense attorney's, well, like I always say, if I need defended, I want them to pull out all there is to let me win.
So of course, people are going to hate them too.
That said, is it misquoting or just using a well known quote, in a new context?
Would of it made any difference if they said "Let's kill all the lawyers first"?
As for whether or not Gaga did or did not give permission at first, not something we'll ever really know. Right now they all say she didnt even know, and it's quite possible that's how it was.
Still just as possible for them to change their mind but want to save face. Personally, I think Wierd Al's done better songs. -
To the OP...you could just start sending tells to the one with the HELPER title asking for help.

Nice to see you are still around Kant! I just started doing Tip missions as well. They are very well done but I have not seen alot of variety with them. It seems like I get the same seven or so missions every time. Of course I am staying Hero so that may affect that.
20-30
31-40
41-50
...so yeah, it'll feel like a lot of repeating. -

So wait. You all actually want Catwoman to look like Ursa from Superman 2?
I mean I agree it's a very hot look but not really Catwoman IMHO.
Now, she could just have the mask off int he mugshot photo though. -
I havent seen it released in theatres anywhere. And the day it came out, it was in 11 theatres.
I want to see it! -
Quote:I suggested to my mom to watch Sex Drive. I must not have any guilt either! :OOriginally Posted by Smersh
And, Ironik? My definition of a guilty pleasure movie is a movie that I'd feel guilty for suggesting that the people in my life watch with me. (Aside from my brother, of course, but my brother's incapable of guilt.)
*And the Last Unicorn is a classic!* -
Quote:You realize there are 3 doors for each section of the LS, right?Originally Posted by MaHaBone23
Allow me to click on a door, even if the door is "open." The submarine on the STF, the elevators on the Lambda, the door on every damn train in Paragon City. Waiting for the door to close and my little blue hand to appear is tedious and annoying, especially when a large number of people are trying to use the same door.

Quote:Hmmm...same old pile on the AV that people complain about?Originally Posted by Chyll
How about each trial brings it's own unique and fun flair rather than just repurposing something that has already been used twice in the last couple of issues.
Or...
New things that annoy some people but are really fun for others!
I vote for #2!!! \o/ -
