No such thing as too much acc!

Seriously though, 2 SOs' worth will do you fine most of the time, though personally I go for 3. As people have already said, tohit also helps a great deal.

I'm somewhat torn on it, actually. On one hand, I like it, on the other I don't like running around with so few attacks at low levels, and the lack of Ice Sword Circle makes me envious of dominators.

Neat. And yeah, that is very shiny. What is that effect?

This sounds like a fun idea, hehe.

Slot starvation is a good name for it. I used to call it "an enhancement slot deficiency" on good days, and "NOT ENOUGH F#$%^# SLOTS!" on the bad ones.

Even with a build like this one, assuming I had the funds and patience to put it together, I'd still feel slot-starved.

[/ QUOTE ]
Ain't that the truth. Khelds are probably the most slot-starved ATs around. Ancillary pools would only make it worse.

Well, it's a male name. It kinda looks like you were useing it as a last name but every Jameson I know it's their first name and they're all male.

I am appalled! How dare you shame this game with your non-comic-geekness? Three words: John Jonah Jameson.

Zombies blow up nicely too, you know.

I'm not flexible? You are arguing that writers should be limited to what the game can actually portray. The entire purpose of the text is to describe things that it can't.

[/ QUOTE ]
Wait, what? I thought you were of the fervent opinion that arcs should be strictly limited to what the game can actually portray. Did I miss something, or did you recently change that opinion?

I hope you welcome the EU RPers with open arms, we don't bite and we'll probably keep mostly to ourselves to be honest but the Europeans are coming!

[/ QUOTE ]
But of course. It's not like we bite. Well, at least I don't...much.

Looks fine to me. Stacking immobs should allow you to stay at range with just about everything, and it looks like you've got more than enough ranged defense there. I'd say it's good to go.

Hahaha, that was awesome. Have a congrats from me too, Tartyr. First you will be baked, and then there will be cake.

Just about the only DC I enjoyed was Butterfly Effect. The rest seem entirely... vanilla to me.

[/ QUOTE ]
Bah, and there I thought at least my Dr. Aeon would give even the most sour players something to enjoy. Ah well, I guess you really can't please everyone.

I'd go with mace. It just has more SMASH to it, and the stun effects tend to be more useful than knockdown.

I tend to use it as a pseudo-tank. Something extra to get aggro off me or collect a spawn into a chunk to maximize my other aoes. It's also a nice mini-nuke, plus it's just plain cool, so sometimes I launch it for more damage or just for the heck of it.

Of course not. The two have nothing to do with one another. Well, at least not directly.

I don't "star" forum threads.

Um...I never said it was you.

Hm, I get the impression you've not been to Warburg much then - because there's indeed much more to that facility than just R&D. And fair enough, I suppose. At least one thing equals another there.

Who the heck 1-starred this thread? Yeah MCM, you're definitely being stalked by someone who's got beef with you.

In that case, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the devs decide to reveal why everybody and their mother wants the Thorn Tree other than the generic 'it has a lot of power and can be used for X amount of things, X being an integer that increases by one every time someone thinks of a new use for it' - because until that happens, I won't know either.

As for the Malta base, in the normal game it's presented to be a (and actually, I haven't found anything to the contrary that it's the)major staging area for Malta heavy-hit operations headed into Paragon. Personally, I agree that a truly covert base would make more sense to do that sort of stuff in, but not only do I prefer to involve game canon in my arcs, but if Malta had any common sense whatsoever, they wouldn't be standing around in Paregrine and have the locations of their supposedly secret bases be public knowledge.

And Venture, that arc is no more Mary Sue than yours. Actually, it's a lot less because it revolves around the fact that the Big Bad doesn't have a lot of power (not to mention the character's not my creation).

Sure thing.

What I did have a problem with is them having a way to return home automatically. Why didn’t they just use it right when they got captured?

[/ QUOTE ]
is mainly answered in the water dragon's clue with "as he went for help", though Player's clue (Oranbega's dark magic being bad and disruptive to their own magic/abilities) and the final mission clue also make mention to it by telling you their way home had to be kept secret - i.e. they couldn't use it until you, the player, were gone.

[ QUOTE ]
What does the Malta Group even want with the Thorn Tree?

[/ QUOTE ]
It's the objective of Operation Weedkiller, which a clue you can get from a Gunslinger's notebook and informs you of, revealing both the name as well as that villains always foiled it in the past.

[ QUOTE ]
We only go to the base because Crimson suggests it, and he doesn’t even have a clear reason why he’s suggesting it, and all we find there is plans for the next base we attack. What’s Malta doing with plans for an Arachnos base in their Warburg robotics plant?

[/ QUOTE ]
Well, apart from using them as common sense implies (as a strategic asset in the planning stages of an attack on enemy territory), they're there for you to pick up and convince your contact to send you to the submarine base. Strategic asset is the 'official' answer, though.

And in regard to Crimson, he does. Peter relays it as "our best bet is the Malta base in Warburg since they often hide their latest projects there". True, it's not a very strong reason, but that's what you do in a criminal investigation: you take suspected leads and follow up on them. Well, either that or Crimson's in on the 'trap' and plays along, as my conspiracy theorist players tell me.

As for you reading all the clues, I'm sorry, but I'm having a really hard time believing that, mostly because you say the Dark Dragon tried to kill you - which his message states concretely to the contrary with "Pardon the pirates, but I needed to know Scirocco wouldn't overwhelm you. They and Malta had orders not to kill. He doesn't."

Mind you, no foul there. You interpreted the story in your way, and I think you for it. It's another point of view that I can use to better my arc, and it helps me narrow down where I need to be more direct in delivery of the main plot points.

Sure, why not? More points of view are helpful. Feel free to have at "the Revenge of Hro'Dohz" (1356) and "Hunting the Dark Dragon" (2922) arcs in my sig.

I imagine sonic/pain would have decent synergy. Rad/ I'm not so sure about, especially for pvp. The proc idea has merit though, so YMMV. Personally, I'd go with sonic/.

Dangit, now how did a ninja nun concept get into my head? Dang imagination. Curse you, Rox!

Are we allowed to vote for other people? If so, I vote for Suichiro. I was gonna try and come up with a story for one of my toons to fight Bayani, but I don't think I could manage to come up with any better reasons than those provided for Massacre Melanie.

[/ QUOTE ]
Ditto, heh. While I've got somevery developed villains, I don't think any of them 'match' anywhere near as well as Melanie.

Edit: then again, I just saw what Gray had in store, and it makes me go 'ooooh' in a very sinister manner. Of course, that still leaves the question as to whether voting is allowed here.

I've heard of people charging for farm teams in the regular game, so I guess it's mot surprising that they've moved on to AE. However, I've never heard of anyone asking for payment for a spot on a random AE pick-up team.
