I like Ninjitsu, it's a fine secondary. It is quite vulnerable to being burst-killed (even more-so than SR) and Paragon Police and Cimeroran Traitors are real pains (but not unmanageable of course...bag of tricks, after all), but I do like it.

I still like SR better (it's Defense is more reliable and it's completely passive. Ninjitsu's Defense is unreliable and the active defenses are a mixed blessing; they can be fun, and they can be an annoyance, all at the same time).

Still, no Stalker can ever go wrong going Ninjitsu in PvE.

The proper term is P1P1.

If you really want to impress me, start a bank.

1. Bid 65,000 each for the crafted common IOs.
2. Wait up to 48 hours for the orders to fill.
3. Profit.

There really should be a FAQ for this pinned to the top of the forum.

Best soloers: Night Widow, Bane Spider
Best Teamers: Crab, Fortunata

You know what I like about MA? Actually using its powers. Maybe it's just me.

Gold seller farmers are bad for the game. Player farmers are good for the game (aside from certain pollutants such as fill spam; which is about to be a non-factor anyway).

Why are player farmers good for the game? They make what you want to buy on the market cheaper, and more available. That's a pretty big positive impact on your game-play.

If I had my way, you'd get Elite Boss level XP for every Rep-valid kill.

Madness?

THIS IS THE MARKET!

*kicks into money pit*

Play it up to the pet, slot the pet for control rather than damage, and see if you don't like the set then.

5.33 posts per day. Much better than I expected, that's about 25 minutes a day on the forums.

Bless the devs, but I'd need a shareholder report to verify the claim of increased population. After all, we don't know what metric is being used. Trust but verify.

I doubt a server upgrade as no such announcement has been made (and they surely would announce such a positive development).

Last Double XP Weekend Freedom frequently went grey, and Virtue dipped in every now and then too. Not so much this time around. I don't think Freedom has gone grey even once.

I guess AE really has killed the game? lol J/K!

The low level play experience on Tankers is just awful. Low damage output, Endurance hogging, really the stuff of fun-killing.

What has helped me get a toe-hold at long last in the Tanker Archetype is dual builds (so you can make a Scranker/fast-attack-Tanker build) and Patrol XP (which gets you through those painful low levels more quickly, and enforces a 7 to 10 day break from playing the character to re-accumulate; works best if you've got lots of alts, of course).

What would also help tremendously (not just Tankers but everyone) is putting Endurance Reduction Enhancements on a more forgiving schedule (I like Schedule D as that would truly allow for Staminaless builds to actually perform well).

Personally, I always drop such missions.

Ah, the Carnies! Where the women are bored socialites and the men are corpses!

How about Roll Something Anything Other Than Electric Armor Man?

Seriously, you'll want to pair ElA with one of the sword sets. The +Defense in Parry/Divine Avalanche might even make ElA playable.

But if it must be Spines/ElA, scream my name toward the night sky when you hit the debt cap...at level 20 lol.

Ima Daemodand, baybuh!

My favorite side is redside, my favorite Archetype is Dominators, yet my main is my MA/SR/WN Scrapper.

The two basic truths of Super Reflexes:
1. Softcapping is overkill in PvE (especially on a */SR/WN Scrapper).
2. There's no such thing as too much Defense in PvP. In fact, stack all you want, it still won't matter at all.

The point is FF is one of the loosest builds in the game. Plenty of skippable powers, and you can still softcap your d00dz. FF is also the most boring secondary in the game. Sonic is slightly more entertaining. Slightly.

Banes and Night Widows are the go-to soloers. Both are fast and efficient getting through missions.

Banes have lots of toys and options.
Night Widows have durability.

Their damage output is comparable, their play styles are very different (Bane is best played Blapper-style, Night Widows are very Scrappery).

My personal favorite is the Bane. For me, the animations, tools and toys, and feeling of being well-balanced game-mechanics-wise makes them far and away my fave VEAT.

You want to stay away from range, so don't go Crab or Fort. That leaves Bane and Night Widow. You want to take some punishment, Night Widows are the toughest VEATs going, so I think that's what you want to go with.

Recluse bless this thread and those who post in it.

Make it gold colored and have a tear symbol on the back and I'll /SIGN.

My 50 MA/SR Scrapper Regens 23 HP/sec. After I get that Heal proc it'll effectively be more than that even. Not too shabby for SR lol.
