    You know what would have been fun? An AoE patch that slows and randomly casts Lift on any enemies caught in it's radius, sort of like an ice patch or freezing rain. Ah well.
    The Great Cyclone approves of this idea.

    They are SUPERIOR to Stalkers.

    This thread is great. I don't like catgirls, however. Will a foxboy do instead?

    It seems that it was someone else's plan and Emperor Cole is QUITE PISSED OFF about it.

It's not like Blasters are in short supply or anything, I mean you can pick one up in about 2 minute and not risk the nrg blaster (who may or may not know wtf they'r doing) kb stuff everywhere.

  11. Well, I've been out of game for the previous week. Now that I'm back, I can play no longer than 300 seconds. At any attempt to combat or open WW menus, my screen goes black as if my display were no longer receiving data. I have to hard reboot to fix the condition. Here's what I am running. This system was built locally for the sole purpose of running CoX. It has been in service since August 2007.

  12. Tsk. I honestly don't like playing buff sets. I don;t like worrying and watching others buff bars to work out the timing for buffing. Guess what I do? I don't play /FF, /Thermal, Frost/, or any of the 'Active Support' Sets. The have /Traps for a reason.

    Hide becomes a CoD clone, and Caltrops become Smoke Grenade. That's just my opinion.
    Or, Caltrops becomes Mental Training and /SR is never rolled again.
  14. I think I have the only Elec/MM Blaster on Virtue. I've yet to see another in five years.

    Because I enjoy it.

    I couldn't give a crap less that another set is "better". I will play and enjoy any power set I find fun, regardless of other people's opinions of it.

    Does it have flaws? Of course it does, EVERY set has flaws. But I haven't found those flaws to take any of the enjoyment away for me.

    I enjoy playing /Devices, and that is reason enough to play it.
    /thread.
  16. This property of -ToHit make DM/?? or ??/DM pretty fine for melees of all sorts. See DM/SR anything for examples.

    You do know that the effect of the Leadership Pool Powers changes based on the target AT, right?
    L:A might give a defender %18.75 DMG bonus. A scrapper would only get %10.50.
    TT:A gives everyone the same bonus, regardless of AT.

    A set having a move does not mean that I'll use it. See 98% of the scrapper player base and 'Confront'.

    Sorry, I never use damage auras. En/, Ice/, and Sonic/ are sounding sweet.

    ST Blaster

    I've been having thoughts of a blaster with the sole purpose of single target damage. What combination of sets would be the most effective in this? Right now, EN/Elec, is looking fairly boss.
  22. My Hero main is a 50 BS/WP scrapper. His excuse is being a 20 HD Warblade. Incarnate will simply equal out to his 21'st HD.
  23. Nope. Once you have it unlocked, you keep it.
