That's a nice experiment, but I don't think the way you made your inf is something the typical "casual", non-marketeer player would know how to do.

One thing they could do (if it wouldn't be too hard to code) is give us the option to give up an arc slot for added space on an arc. That would allow us to make a more expansive arc, and not take up more space.

just cause it cons grey doesnt mean it cant drop anything, you get drops from enemies up to 4 lvls lower than you (-5 is the cutoff for ANY reward)

PS- the cut off for purples is 47 not 48
I have a broadsword/shield scrapper who I'll probably get to level 50 soon. It's not an ideal combination, but he has two AoEs and a cone (plus the damage from AaO), so he shouldn't be horrible at farming. It would at least give me some thing to do when my global channels are dead and I'm too lazy to actually do some thing. -

someone who says how are you out of habit is probably less interested in hearing about all your personal issues than you are in explaining them.

Since level 48 enemies can drop purple recipes, wouldn't it make sense to pick up a decent mission at level 48, hit 50 and then farm it? The enemies would die faster, being two levels under you instead of even-level or +1, and it wouldn't take as good of a build to do it efficiently. I would imagine that any scrapper with some AoE could easily survive at -2 set to 8 players, and kill pretty quickly even with just SOs.
But I don't see any one ever mention it. Is there some reason people don't, like the lower amount of inf you'd get? Or do people do it all the time and I just haven't heard about it? -

Okay, I used the advice in this thread to make an altered build. It's capped to Energy/Negative/Smashing/Lethal with out Energy Absorption, and with EA I can toggle off Weave. I also worked in stamina, which I don't think I need, but it will be useful especially against AVs. It does use Kinetic Combats, but they're not needed, so if I can't afford them or don't want to spend that much I don't need to have them.
I think this is what I'll go with.

As some one who has five kins, I would say that anyone who refuses to play it to its fullest potential doesn't deserve a team.
And that doesn't even mean keep everyone speed boosted.
EDIT: Hi Laev! -
Now that I think about it, wouldn't Dark Pit + Howling Twilight be an amazing opener, with the combined disorient? I use Howling Twilight on my mastermind to stun mobs, but it only stuns the minions. With another stun it should at least get lieutenants, too.
-
Postagulous, I can't get Mid's to open that build.
And I don't know if I need stamina, I've been doing fine with out it, running five toggles. -
Is Kinetic Combat that expensive? I don't really need those two slotted, I just wasn't sure what else to put there. If I put smashing haymaker in them instead, I'll still be softcapped with just one enemy hit with Energy Absorption, and it should be cheaper.
I'll have to look at frankenslotting. -

My goal was to hit the softcap for smashing, lethal, energy and negative with as few enemies hit with Energy Absorption as possible. With Weave toggled, I only need to hit 1, with it off I still need to hit 9, but that should be easy in most fights.
I don't know if the build is any good besides that, it looks really sloppy to me, but I don't have any experience with IO builds. And it's hard to find sets that give good energy/negative resist. Also, I don't have tons of inf (I could probably scrape together about 700 million if I needed to) so I don't want any thing super expensive, like purples.
Any thoughts?
Edit: Here's the build in forum-form if it's easier that way.

as all the other ATs progress they won't add anything to the EATs? They will just stay the same with no Alt anything?

Why would they need to change it? The EATs work fine.

Ya, sorry... Forgot about who the team was behind development. My bad.
Gawd, I was on a TF (Citadel I think) where some one insisted on using that at the start of EVERY defeat all. I couldn't stand it. I LIKE knowing which way still has enemies...Quote:Originally Posted by Primal
These pets are of far more use to me than, say, the Reveal power. I will never use that at all, that fog tells me where I haven't been. It's a 63-month vet reward, and it's spectacularly useless to me. -
Well, at least they didn't spend 20 minutes looking for a kin and a stone tank.
-
I have a Kinetics/Energy defender and when people whine about my knockback...I toggle on Repel.
Okay, I'm making that up. Unfortunately I'm too careful with my knockback and never get complaints. It would be hilarious though, such a waste. -
I just came in to point out that one of the tags for this thread is "pew pew my qq" and that sounds dirty.
Carry on. -
Quote:I always thought it came from some competitive game(s) where pressing Alt followed by QQ closed the program. So if some one was upset at losing, they'd press alt+QQ to automatically exit, maybe skipping a "Soandso has left the game" message or some thing. Basically a whiny/rage quit.Originally Posted by NarfMann
Crying, because the 'QQ' looks like eyes with tears coming out. At least that's my guess based on the context in which it's used. Nobody's ever told me, and I've never felt like looking it up, but I'm willing to bet I'm right.
So it turned into a derogatory way to say some one is being whiny. But I could be wrong. -
Well, "real numbers" are available in the game. Why don't you go compare it to another set and tell us exactly why it's weaker?
It sucks if it "seems weak" to you, but that's hardly a reason to change anything.
