    Without babbling on, whining or rambling please address this issue.
    How does being in an SG help one respecing? I for one think they should do things mid's style

    So give us back emblems.

    targeting drone model? that's a bit dissappointig but what kind of attacks do they have?

  8. It's often said that +8 kb protection(2 IOs) offers no more benefit than +4, and that +12(3 ios) does protect you from a greater amount of KB powers but what I want to know is does that hold true for + 11 protection as well or is it +12 or bust?

    Can vengeance be used on league mates not on your team?

    I thought pet dmg powers and pets were treated the same way since that is not the case I think I will go ahead and slot it up with procs again

    Thanks for the help everyone

    It's a unique quandary since most people don't bother with brawl while I have mine on auto. It's case by case whether the AOE aspect makes up for the once every 10 second limit. I'm not sure if it does here, it certainly won't when the spawn is down to just 1 hard target.
    I'm thinking bots might be AOE strong enough that cramming dmg procs into aoe powers limited by the 10 sec rule might not contribute a lot, but what do I know I'm not a number cruncher. If henchmen have the same limit I think i'll remove the proc from my assbot first

    Edit: Also I slot accuracy in my AM. It's been a while since I looked at the entries for it on CoD, but if I'm remembering correctly it has base (1.0) accuracy. I don't know if any effects are auto-hit or not but presumably it needs accuracy to hit reliably.
    my build utilizes close to 60% accuracy in AM + at least 10% tohit bonus from tactics so I'm good there

    You cant slot the devestation proc in the mm, so would switch it to a recharge probably.

    The idea is to get recharge down on it so you can drop more of them. Two out is ridiculous. It is limited by the 10 second rule, but is out for 60 seconds.
    If I have 2 out at once does the -res inherent to the power stack with itself? As in AM -20 res + AM -20 res = -40 res + AH proc = -60 res(before res debuff resistance)?

    I have this crazy idea but in terms of dmg procs wouldn't I get more mileage out of adding slots to brawl for more dmg procs? 6 chances for all dmg procs doesn't get me all that excited on the other hand I have brawl on auto anyways and can probably fit it in 4 times every 10 secs(accounting for other powers being used in that window)
  12. Is it better to slot for def debuff or dmg procs? Even slotting for 100% enhancement(with help from the Musc Alpha) won't double it's original 20% debuff to 40% but I guess 36% is good enough on the other hand I have plenty of accuracy and all my Bots benefit from 20% +tohit in this super duper dream build I'm very close to completely slotting out.

    What I'm not sure about is whether or not the procs I slot into AM are limited by that 1 chance ever 10 secs rule, on that note is the assault bot also hampered by that rule?

That there may be repercussions for the subordinates actions is unimportant, it's only important that the subordinate has the ability to chose not to do what the SG leader says.

    A MM tells their minions what to do, and the minions do it. Period. I don't agree with that though, a Comic Book Mastermind's minions are easily able to ignore the MM's orders and go about his own business as he sees fit. (With the exception of those that are directly mind controlled, which None of the in-game minions are stated to be. (Player Character concept is irrelevant in this regard as You* are the one making the distinction here, not the game.))

    are the elemental "weapons" redrawed? I'm pretty sure their handled in an entirely different way (they just appear in your hand) they aren't pulled out of anywhere

    Ancient Japan!

    * A Task Force centered on finding and protecting Yata no Kagami, the Mirror used to lure the Sun goddess Amaterasu out of her cave after being harassed by her brother Susanō. This mirror is a powerful Incarnate Artifact, and its holder would be blessed with divine might. This TF would give either merits or threads upon completion, with common, uncommon, or even rare tables for very high challenge settings and getting the badges for MO.

    *Battle Kappa, Tengu, Oni, and other Yōkai in the wilderness of Kamijima, and perhaps even pick up a drop of incarnate power in doing so.

    *More Ancient Japanese styles! A few new hair and costume options, awarded upon completing the new Yata no Gami TF.

    *A special Giant Monster: Denketsu! This big, mean S.O.B. hates when people successfully defend the Yata no Gami, and is prone to going on rampages whenever this occurs. This giant dragon is bigger and meaner than any other Monster, and will take many heroes to defeat.

    And anything more we might be able to think up.
    I like, but should it really be limited to just ancient japan? The zone should incorporate more influences other than that /sign

    Teleportation is another one I can think off. There is really no need to spread the arms every time. Just simply disappear and reappear will do just fine.

    I do like the movement of Beast Run very much. Too bad that with Super Speed and Super Jump, the Beast Run animation is no longer available. Likewise with Ninja Run. Can something be done to keep the Run animations while superspeeding or jumping?
    These 3 are also important to me

    The limit for the email box is 20 technically you could probably hold more than that but you won't be able to send emails once you hit 20

  24. I don't think so, their dmg with any musc enhancement is perfect imo but their animations aren't doing it for me.

    I'm a void user so my suggestions are strictly about power from the Void. I'd love to see animations play where my toon exerts no visible effort other than getting into cool/swaggerly/arrogant pose:

    -Negative energy spills out of the ground around him, first in multiple thin beams that eventually becomes 1 huge beam erupting from the floor.

    -I'd also like like an opposite option huge 2d portal opens up in the sky that looks like a creepy eye that blasts a huge beam of negative energy (the toon might look up at the sky before being basked in negative energy.)

    -Several portals opening up all around the toon shooting out tentacles would be awesome


    Nothing about the power or animation time changes this is just a aesthetic tastes thing

    I remember reading a criticism about pyronic using the same animation as fireball so i know others have ideas too please share them
