Dechs Kaison

Not very. He's a man that's dealt with growing up involved in the 1920s mob atmosphere, worked under Hitler's regime, has a gambling problem, and generally just done what he's has to to survive.

He's selfish, that's for sure, but not evil. He doesn't care to abide by laws that prevent him from achieving his goals, but that doesn't make him evil, right?

Good question. If there are, I haven't met with them yet.

PB, hands down.

I bow to your levels of facepalm use.

The infinite double facepalm is actually the most applicable, while facepalm collage showing a facepalm is just outright genius.

May I direct you to a few of my posts please?

Read this first.

Then this.

This is funny.

And you should probably see this.

Suffice to say... it's the norm.

Also, welcome to the club.

Erm... no it doesn't. Power boost does not affect pets.

Wow, a winner already.

You, sir, get a cookie.

Quick trivia question for all you lore gurus out there.... Which incarnation of Marcus Cole has the most severely developed superiority complex?

I don't know, perhaps we need to pull out the big guns.

I figured, I'm just pointing out that we are in Ultimo's troll thread, and he will lambaste you for completely missing the point and suggesting something based on taking his comments out of context, or some other bull like that.

Good lord do those things hurt my DA tank. The debuffs hurt, but it's more the fact that I have only 30% resist to the pure energy damage. I haven't ever tried them on +4, but I've tanked them. It's not easy, I eat purples like candy, but it can be done.

Eradications in any PBAoE power. You only need three slots.

EDIT: Nevermind... you have those. Hrm... I used Cleaving Blows, Reactive Armors, and one Lethargic Repose for my Dark Armor tank that's at E/N softcap. Maybe try to fit those in?

Looking back at my build, I don't know what else I can say. The thing I do with 3x Erad and 3x Cleaving Blow in my PBAoEs works out to decent enough slotting, but you'll lose the +HP bonus in most of your stuff slotted with Erad. Other that, your options are to take weave, or maybe slot CJ for some defense. Probably should put another LotG +recharge in there anyway.

Here's an idea. Level up to 20 without taking hurdle/health/stamina. Then, as soon as you feel endurance getting tight, switch to build 2, and take hurdle/health/stamina without ever having to level up with them.

I still cannot agree that these powers are required.

It would also make +recovery bonuses more effective because they work off of base recovery. Buffs like speed boost, drain psyche, and accelerate metabolism would do more for you too. This would in turn make stamina even less needed, and bring up overall performance of the already high end builds that are soloing +4/x8, AVs, and GMs.

The more I think about it, the more I like it. I could drop stamina from most of my characters, while keeping the same recovery, but add three powers to their repertoire that they did not have before.

You'd still have to increase the difficulty settings to something like +5/x10, though.

No it wasn't. The only one missing points here is you. Your controlling blaster can still dish out DPS.

A TA, sonic, cold domination, etc. defender can not in any realm of reality heal you without taking the same pool powers available to everyone, which are not meant to be combat heals.

Blaster = damage.
Defender = support.
Defender =/= healing.

*raises hand*

My Dark Armor tank has no need of an empath. One of my successful MoSTFs was done with only debuffers, who only focused on the towers.

It's really not that hard if the team is halfway competent.

Edit to add:

It also helps any Mo* attempt to not have any scrappers on the team.

... until you turn up the difficulty and the WS can feed off the number of opponents he has.

Seriously, after I got eclipse, adding extra enemies made the game easier.
