    Thought I had a stalker 'cause of this thread. o_O Thanks for the well-wishes, everyone.

    Seems like a good place as any for me to ask: How is the Lockdown: Chance for +2 Mag proc in Poison Trap? Does it work like a chance for a 2 mag hold, or does it only fire when the Poison Trap's hold actually affects a target?

If you run five tips a day and convert 50 reward merits a day to an AMerit, you'll spend 400 million on conversion and have your recipe in twenty days. If you can find a buyer on your server, you'll net 1.6 billion for twenty days' work (plus whatever you made when running all of those TFs and Ouroboros/tip missions. You can probably buy at least three or four of the purples you're looking for with that.

    Stygian Circle -- it's a full health/endurance recharge in the middle of a long fight or at the end of a short fight. Available at 22, if I recall correctly.

    Gravity Well -- it's the best attack human-form Warshades have at their disposal, and it's a hold.

    Gravitic Emanation (Not positive of the spelling here, I'm talking about the cone disorient) -- fast recharging AoE mez. It's a great control tool and a wonderful way to open up a fight. It does have knockback, so some don't like it. I depended on this power heavily before I got Eclipse.

    Eclipse -- there is no reason not to have this power. It usually fully recharges your endurance, if you use it in the middle of a long battle (Although you will usually want to start with it). When slotted, you will cap your resistance when you hit five enemies with it (it has a good radius, so that isn't tough). Such a wonderful power.

    I didn't consider taking Dark Detonation 'cause my Warshade is a tri-form and consequently had the squid version.

    I actually did this. I clicked the "Score" button after dying once and then clicked the button on that pop-up. In my defense, why is the "Exit the map" button on the score page?

    I'm not good with actors, but some guy that is exceptionally good-looking and always cast as the "nice guy." Or Chuck Norris. One of those.

    ... wut?

    Ignorance aside, I'm almost interested in seeing what a "professional" build that costs 100-300 million looks like.

    Making HoB a 40' radius PBAoE actually would make it OP in nearly every sense. You'd be able to hit 90-100% of everything in a room on about 80-90% of the mission maps in use, with zero effort, every 40-60 seconds (even lower with a /kin)... with mini-nuke (and possibly fulcrum-shifted) damage.

    Aside from that, it would be the ONLY 40' PBAoE in the game... there are no others... which means that a change like this will likely never happen, ever.

    Now maybe... just MAYBE... something like this could be balanced by decreasing the damage output by roughly 50%, increasing the recharge to double what it is, and increasing the endurance cost to somewhere around 30-40 end... but then, who in their right mind wouldn't skip it alltogether?

    sorry, but I've gotta say badidea:nothanks
    I agree, but will note that EM Pulse has a 60' radius. Something that big is not unheard of.

    As far as I can tell, it would function exactly the same as farming for reputation for that badge, 'cept it's for recipes. But I've seen people condemning people for doing it. Was that exceptional, or is it actually taboo to farm these?

    I've never played a Fire Melee character to high levels, so I wasn't positive on my power selections (Though I have played one up to mid-teens and am pretty damn sure that I don't want Breath of Fire). Anyways, the goal of the build was moderate recharge and soft-capped to the positionals without spending a fortune. Outside the LotGs and healing uniques (I've already got a Miracle unique and am working on merits for the LotGs), I think I've accomplished that. One big thing I'm wondering about is the need for Fireball. I'm thinking that Shield Charge + Fire Sword Circle will be enough AoE, and that I can drop Fire Blast and Fire Ball for Aid Self to patch myself up with. Thoughts on that? Can anyone make some improvements without breaking my piggy bank? Thanks in advance.

    The build:

    Plenty of sets could work. The only archetypes that I can think of that would have trouble with it are Defender, which lacks a Earthy/Fiery set, and Mastermind (which you said could work with Demon Summoning/Thermal).

    Threads like this always depress me about my first level 50 Scrapper (BS/Regen). That, and remembering when Instant Healing was a toggle.

    Hey guys, I'm visiting a friend today. I'll probably be late, but should be on no later than 10p.m. EST. Sorry it's such a short notice.

    I'm giving Stalkers another serious effort with Electric/Ninjitsu. It's pretty fun, so far. I just picked up Thunderstrike and quite like it. The build I have set up right now looks pretty solid to me, but thought I should ask the experts. Without further ado:

    This isn't my brother's build exactly, but it's sort of close. It is soft-capped to the three positionals, has moderate recharge (56.3%) and decent recovery. My brother's build on Live has more, but he doesn't have Ball Lightning.

    Seems like a decent place to ask my own question: My brother recently soft-capped his SS/SD Brute, but is having trouble finding a farm mission. The Liberate the TV farm sucks for him 'cause of the stacking Vengeance. Where might he find a better one?

    Edit: I'll see if I can get him to post his build here, for ya'. It's pretty sturdy, but doesn't have much +HP or recharge. On the plus side, it wasn't terribly expensive.
  19. Demon Keeper
    Here is my perma-Eclipse build. It uses some of the cheaper purple sets (Immobilize and Stun) and three Luck of the Gamblers +7.5% recharge. I used merits to buy the LotGs. After that, I spent about three hundred million, maybe a bit more.

    1) No. I think that the server has become so wrapped up in events that there isn't enough people that just want to play the game. And sometimes people get a little too protective of their "time slots."*

    2) More "no." I don't really know what is going on in Hami raids, I just listen to my team leader.

    * I've personally seen someone broadcast for a MoLGTF in BMT of Champion and get hushed by someone that was going to do a Hamidon Raid or something in the next half-hour.

    Crossbows would be easy enough to implement, I think. You just have to hold them "Gangsta' style" (arrow drawing would be "loading" the crossbow). Of course, that would make every shot a kill shot, which might be overpowered.

    This is silly. Here is how you use Time Bomb on a team: Let your team engage a group. Hurry to the next group (or the group after that, if they're really quick), Smoke 'Nade 'em and plant a Time Bomb. If you time it perfectly, the bomb goes off when the team sees the group and you just clean up.*
