They may have been in the process of leveling up an alternate build. If you switch to an alternate build and only level it up to level 4, that will be your level as displayed to other characters (and for conning purposes).

Ick, no thanks. I don't want mini-games and puzzles getting in the way of running missions, not in this game anyway.

You know, I've never seen a SG recruitment post where they claim to have any amount of drama more than "none".

If you think that's bad, try going into AE and seeing what names you can't use there. Among very basic words associated with famous characters like "gambit", you actually cannot use the word "cabal", even though it's the name of an enemy group in the game. Makes writing an arc about them quite difficult.

Far from beating down canon, that is the actual canon of how Arachnos Banes operate -- as a single hive-mind unit. I'm not sure but I believe Widows operate similarly (or at least, I don't believe there's any canon that would directly contradict this).

As far as breaking free, you could say that she had an usually strong strength of will that enabled her to break free, or even tie it into the villain-side morality arc involving the "freedom virus" spreading through the Bane collective. Westin Phipps also has an arc about this.

Can't really look at the build at work, but you definitely want Musculature for moar damage. As you progress up the tree, you can also get an increase to any power which takes EndMod enhancements -- which for an Elec^3 is virtually all of them.

As I recall, the devs specifically limited the color palette because they didn't want people coloring the ice in odd ways so that it looked like something other than ice.

I didn't notice in my original post that you had skipped Short Circuit. I know it's a PBAoE and it's scary to be in melee but the drain is very helpful (and hey, it comes with a side of damage). Fully slotted and combined with Power Sink, you can completely drain a mob.

Shocking Grasp is slotted all wrong. Why is it slotted for EndMod? Hold or even Damage would make more sense.

Re: Electric Fence as mentioned by Test_Rat, I almost never use this power. Maybe 0.01% of the time. Slotting anything into its base slot is fine, I think mine is even unslotted, that's how little I use it.

Acrobatics is a complete waste with two BotZ KB IOs, you would be better off with almost anything else (yeah, even as a level 49 power).

I see you've completely disregarded your Epic Pool. (The remainder of my post assumes that you will go with Electric Mastery; it pairs with Elec/Elec quite well, both thematically and gameplay-wise. Mu Mastery is pretty similar, so this advice would apply to that pool as well.) Static Discharge is a great cone attack, Shocking Bolt is a third hold that will allow you to solo most EBs with almost embarrassing ease (Trapdoor was a complete joke to my Blaster), and Charged Armor is some nice S/L/E Resistance, which would stack with Tough's S/L. I would drop at least Zapp and either Hover or Combat Jumping (and the aforementioned Acrobatics). And actually, you could ditch the second travel power, you don't need Fly and Super Jump (I guess that's a matter of taste and more power to you if that's how you like to play but I honestly do not see the point).

What drivers/what card? I was having a similar issue with the latest ATI drivers on my 5570, downgrading to Catalyst 10.9 (I...think?) fixed it.

Unless you're delivering the alpha strike, most of the time outside of EBs/AVs (and maybe even only AVs, these days) you won't get a chance to use Zapp before stuff is dead. You'd be better off moving the slots to Ball Lightning.

Can't comment on much else while at work.

Wasn't this always the case? I know at least in Earth X the Asgardians were revealed to be psychic aliens whose identities were unconsciously crafted by the race they came into contact with (humans, in this case). So it's not a new idea.

I have no problem with this. They're already straddling the line between technology and magic anyway, it's no different than the Prophets of DS9 being "gods" to the Bajorans and "wormhole aliens" to the Federation.

Dark Armor actually does have a "no pulsing" option on some of its toggles.

They'd better remove the Arachnos Flier from the STF too, that's also unfair since it respawns and can be defeated multiple times for the merit reward. (Although as I recall, the fact that it rewards merits at all is not WAI.)

I like villainside. Most of my characters are villains.

Blueside has more GMs than redside even without taking into account multiple Paladins. I guess the devs should also remove some of them in order to make it more fair?

Do the Neutropolis Zone Event and select the Tantrum emote as a reward...that's actually pretty close.

Nope, Hero reinforcing Hero. Never switched sides on this character.
