  1. Has anyone noticed the pattern of conversions within a set? If you plan on converting things, I strongly suggest getting familiar with the patterns of conversion, it can save you some converters.
  2. I think ALL of the sets could use additional alternative ani's kinda of like how they did MA but more.
  3. In the KB vs KD debate, there is none, choose another powerset if you want KD and not KB. The sets that have KB have it there for a reason, a reason that plenty use to their advantage. Powersets that have KB just may not be for you period end of discussion.

    If you missed it, but have Starz, it's going to be on several times before the next episode.
    Right but the link I provided is a place where you can view the 1st episode for free no sub needed.

    ill/kin for PvE

    My first 50 was Ill/kin and had fun playing him, but when I rolled an Ill/rad...well I don't play the Ill/kin much anymore.

    Dude created a great universe to tell stories in and I understand the frustration expressed towards the movies when the fan fiction and video games like SWTOR were just so very excellent.

    I wish that some of these talented writers would write their own new universe. SW came out when I was still in High School and I will be 50 this year. Its about time for something else.

    2) This thread is titled "Ill/Dark worth it?" inviting exactly this kind of speculation about whether a set is "worth it." If the thread had been titled "Rate my Ill/Dark build" I wouldn't have volunteered an opinion on the actual value of the combo, its comparison to other sets, or the probable fate of a set that is also closely related.

    I've also noticed a tendency on your part to refer to "certain folks" when you really mean me. I appreciate that you disagree with me but I think it would be easier for us to talk through that if you address me directly.
    Its worth it and it is certainly NOT dead for anyone that is not into making grand announcements about what set will be "dead" based on their myopic min/max view of powersets in this game. Pffft.

    AT's desirability and usefulness on teams: Clearly a topic designed to provoke, just like this one.

    Carry on eventhough Hyperstrike and other have destroyed this stupid premise of the thread.

    You can only buy those on the market on Beta and I've opened over 100 packs and never gotten one. Catalysts and boosters are in the super packs though.

    Both purchases are free on the VIP beta server for those who want to check it out.
    Ah, you are correct sir you cannot get them from the SP but the Astral lady 3 AM's plus 500K for 2 converters or the EM guy 1 EM and 1,250,000 for 5 converters. My mistake.

    Optimized? I mean the fact that you can take a crap recipe and spin it into a golden one is all I was pointing out. It does cost more converters to do it that way for sure, but remember these are people that are into the entire random roll deal having gotten the converters from Super Packs mainly in the first place. We shall see.

    my problem with the dominator is that I am not slotting enhancements as I said in my OP
    but that is not nearly as big an issue with any other AT
    You make these reaction type threads every few days knowing you will get a bunch of attention.

    All AT's do better with enhancements Doms are NOT a special case, but I am beginning to wonder if you are with these types of threads.

    Stupid cable.

    Does the new guy pretty closely match Andy visually? If it's too jarringly different, it'll feel different for me, even if the rest of the show is on par with the other season/series.
    Oh no its basically an on demand deal. Here is the link for the site.

  13. What people should do is keep all the "junk" recipes from drops and use those instead of selling them to vendors or heaven forbid even deleting them as some of my friends do.

    Seriously tho, hyperbole aside, darkness control is a beast. I have never seen its like before.

    Sure you have, just not in this beast like combination.
  15. I've notice certain folks like to make grand announcements about what other sets are going to be dead based on BETA testing new sets and their personal min/max attitude about powersets in general. Interesting....
  16. If you go on BETA and play around with them for about a minute of so you will begin to realize this is a significant change in the game and will have substantial ripples on the market.
  17. I am going to check it out since it is up on the Starz net station for free.

    I really miss Andy as he was pretty much perfect for this role. It sucks that he lost his life as he received his most worthy praise.

    I think most know how much of a WS enthusiast I am. However, in the current state of things, I would take lightform over eclipse any day. The lack of psi resistance to me is not nearly as big of a deal as facing hard single targets, or somehow missing with eclipse, or not having any sort of mez protection outside of clarion. In fact, if pb's had the equivalent of warshade pets, I would like them both about the same.

    As another point, stygian circle is awesome. However, there are times when I much prefer the two heals of a peacebringer and the end management of lightform/conserve power.

    The main power gap that really remains in favor of WS's is from a) the pets, b) the Dwarves, and c) mezzing. For everything else the old argument of 'consistency vs higher-highs and lower-lows' is much more valid than it was before.
    I think this is pretty much how I feel about it, except I enjoy playing my PB more now than my WS, but that is because of the style of play I enjoy. Both of my babies rock the house, just differently.
