Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee soon!

Another point in favor of Kheldians is that you'd have your travel power at level 10 as well. Fly as a PB or in nova.

As already stated, nova gives you a really nice damage and tohit buff, so you could use the slots for solid damage if you'd like.

I ran into one of these (all healing corruptor) last night. It was on an 8 man team doing the spread the outbreak virus mission. Granted, we were all level ~12, but even then, does this make any sense?

He was AR/Pain, and no, it wasn't just a corruptor with more heals than attacks. Here's a few quotes from the fight.

Him: Going back to all healing mode.

Sometime later...

Him: Aren't you guys glad I took all my heals?

...

Him: I'm going to take the medicine pool next.

Am I off my rocker for saying he was a wasted spot on the team? Would you team with a corruptor that only healed? Again, I could be wrong here, which is why I'm asking, but it seems to me that he's like a petless MM.

What about a Kheld in nova form? Aren't they kind of strong at that level? Lots of AoE on quick recharge and they give a recovery boost.

Also, you can find someone to open an oro portal for you, and just fly/jump/tp to the exploration badge.

I'm pretty sure what to do with the elec/ side of things, but I've got some questions because I couldn't find an up to date build for EA.

Looking at elec's ability to return endurance to you on top of energy aura's drain and conserve power, I assume taking stamina would be a waste. Then again, I plan to take combat jumping and superjump, so hurdle would be a nice addition to that. I might as well add in health and stamina... maybe?

I noticed that EA grants higher base defense than the ninjitsu powers, but since EA is type based instead of positional, is it easier or harder to softcap?

Assuming I could softcap the build, is there any reason to take overload?

Why does energy aura have repel for stalkers? (I think I might take it just for kicks)

Thanks everyone.

I personally don't like /pain on an MM because a lot of it's powers give you a self +damage buff, which is pointless. MM's with personal attacks are either low level or ineffective.

Thermal should be really good for MM's. I don't like how click-y it is, but it's better than FF.

I say we need another ninja set. The first one is called "ninjas" so the second one could be called "More ninjas."

It would be the same as the first set, except the tier 3 would summon two more genin and one more jounin. And the smoke flash power would be replaced by a gang war type of ninja summon. So would the arrow attacks. Everything just summons more ninjas.

I support this.

Just to make sure, before I spend 240 merits on a level ten recipe for this, how does it work when slotted into teleport?

Is it always active like the steadfast protection +3% defense?

Or does it function like the stealth proc that's only active for 120 seconds after you use TP?

Got another one, but this time it wasn't me!

More and more lately I've been forming the ITF's instead of just finding one to join. Things tend to go quicker that way since I don't wait because "We need a tank/kin/rad/whatever obligatory AT/powerset." I find the first seven other people willing to join an ITF and roll. This is mostly because I have the debuffs necessary to take down an AV, but even those aren't necessary. Anything else is icing.

So anyway, last night I formed an ITF. Lately I've been running these in character, so once everyone is together, I start clicking my macros. There's a quick introduction, then a rundown of how things go when I'm in charge. Basically, until I see reason to do otherwise, everyone is free to proceed as they see fit. Solo, small teams, one big group, whatever; if it moves, find a way to kill it. I mention that people who feel squishy are welcome to follow me for support and cover fire, but otherwise I'm pretty much encouraging scrapperlock.

The team I found was two scrappers, two brutes, a dominator, and two corruptors. If that's not a team destined for eight directions of scrapperlock, I don't know what is. The dominator had to leave during the first mission for some reason. I don't remember what anyone's powersets were... I never saw them.

I honestly had more fun watching the map than I did playing this little run through. Eight little green arrows zipping across quickly revealing black space in all directions at once. Everyone seemed to be paying attention to everyone else, though. I would see someone redlining, and their little red arrow would soon be accompanied by several other green ones. Occasionally they made it in time.

I remember seeing one brute with a swarm of Romans on him. I passed him up and went into the room ahead. He eventually leapfrogged in front of me.

We hit the shadow cyst caves and the two scrappers went full bore in two different directions for the ends of the cave to work backwards. The rest of us went our merry way crushing seafood and Romans under our heels while dealing with frequent ambushes. Yes, there were faceplants, usually followed by "I'm ok." and a quick hospital trip.

The mission with the generals? That was a fun mission. One of the scrappers would pull a general, and as soon as we had his aggro, he ran back to get another. One of the corruptors had fun pulling the patrols into our current mob when things started to slow down. Again, faceplants happened but no one cared. We were having fun.

Imperious accidentally aggroed Romulus while half the team was still clearing nazis on the sides of the platform. We kinda sorta regrouped and started wailing on Romy. It got pretty ugly with ambushes and lots of summoned nictuses (nicti?), but we managed to bring him down all four times without losing too many people.

After that we still had traitors to kill so I let out my last macro. "We're down to cleanup. Split and sweep people!" I think I saw "Dibs on tower 1!"

I hadn't been paying attention to the time, but it didn't feel like a particularly fast run. There weren't any team wipes, but there were plenty of deaths and we hadn't been trying for speed, so I wasn't expecting much.

One hour, six minutes.

... you .. uh... DOH! I can't think of anything clever!

Where's Steelclaw when you need him?
