I'm enjoying DP more as a secondary than a primary. Dropped my DP/Rad, DP/Ele for something I found thematically sound, Kin/DP Defender. Wish Kinetic had a no FX option though or at least alternate animations.

What I feel DP needs is to just remove the redraw, let em cast whatever pom-pom effect with the guns out. Would that be too much?

I want to go boom, click, boom without putting the guns away.

The Inhumane Society

I was looking for a SG to compliment my altaholism. Which i'm trying to cure but 10+ characters (cut to 4 when vip runs dry) isn't looking promising, lol.

I'm open to other suggestions (those two advertised back in 09), I like to play weeknights for a couple hours. Not a big raid or grind fan, generally I like to experience various combinations of abilities and when I get bored I move on.

Low commitment indeed.

No it was wrapped in that wonderful comes off in little pieces before it finally opens up DVD plastic sleeve wrap. Got it from Amazon listed as new, definitely not second hand. Lame I tells ya, LAME!

For reference this is the google hit I got when I did my initial searching.

Edit: Don't even get the option of an exchange. While I could try my luck again, think i'll just wait for the chance it might go on sale again on Steam.

Ugh, more shipping.

Just got my boxed copy in the mail, popped it open and well... The serial code box is blank.

Not smeared, not blurry, not even transferred onto the opposite page. It is just blank. What to do? Google gave me 1 working page where guy ended up returning it, anyone remember this happening?

Dogan
I'd rather not play the shipping lottery.

Right now I basically roll in with conductive aura, chain fence the group, tesla cage the biggest threat and just zap them constantly(1-2s activates 4-8s recharges unslotted) while the aura depletes them further. Before i'm even done dispatching foes they're writhing around me totally devoid of any endurance and only managing a weak fist attack. It is so disturbingly effective at low levels (conductive aura @ 8) i'm afraid it won't last, but will it?

Also I was thinking Super Speed & Stealth with Teleport (no fly... theme restriction) for those times I need to go Z-axis. What else should I be interested in? (note join date & post count, )

Edit: Poor grammar in title, it should be an not a.. probably residual from reworked title.

No rerolling, I got 4+1 alts and i'm sticking to it!

Very little guide information available, from what I pieced together 2gun is a mediocre damage set and electric is a pretty good damage set. I'm thinking Melee Blaster, so what should I do to make this combo work to its fullest?

No Rerolling, i'm locked in and vow to break my altaholism.

To Infinity and beyond!

Godspeed fighting the good fight, that wiki was mighty powerful tool for my noob education.

Dogan
and i'm not done yet, moar!

Thanks for the information guys.
First I want to say that it was not my intention to try and replicate a Monk or Ranger. I'm really looking to capture the playstyle... essence so to speak. Take your D20 Monk, Flurry of Blows, Evasion, good saves and resistance to ill effects. Ranger is harder for me to Peg and could probably be summed up as a Fighter with a knack for staying hidden and a Pet. Least this is what I think I get out of those classes.

I've been tinkering with a couple characters. A Radiation/Dual Pistol Defender since the dual pistol seems to be more flavor than substance. Its fairly high maintenance (target based AoE toggles), not necessarily bad just requires a different approach (which is good) and it has been pretty awesome to watch! I had one situation with a named lieutenant who hit my guy with a knockdown attack but the pistol shot went off during the backflip of the animation and killed him... sick.

The other one I went and took for a test drive was an Electric/Electric Dominator. I looked at the Electric/Earth and came really close (literally going back an forth between the two in the creator) but settled on attack speed and mobility of the Ele/Ele. Oddly, this makes it feel very monk like especially with Domination's mez effect resistance and the Conductive Aura encouraging melee. I've found a certain glee in obliterating foes endurance with every attack biting into it and the aura transferring it to my character. It leaves them quivering in place as they don't have the endurance to attack anymore. I don't know how long this is going to work through higher levels.

This brings me to my most recent revelation... I might need that 5th spot, LOL
It seems that the game is rather forgiving when it comes to characters. Such as if you have a concept you have a playable character. Which I assume is one of the core values, more about what you create n all that fluff. I'm off to go look at Blaster and Brute some more, I really like their inherent power.

Dogan
Fulmens... You've made it hard to avoid my main while VIP.

Thanks! I went to sleep thinking about this (currently burned out on previous MMO while waiting for a good reason to blow the points I have left there) and came to the realization that my Dark/Dark Corruptor plays an awful lot like a Bard. A little control, a little healing, a little dps one of those jack of all trades master of none things. I think my Nin/Nin is basically a Rogue... sneak attack nuff said

So I guess i'm looking for a Ranger and a Monk... Blaster does seem to compliment the Ranger mentality rather well. Shoot things and if it gets nasty you have decent close in fighting ability as well. Dual pistols is a given considering I want to take advantage of Going Rogue. Mental Manipulation looks like it could be fun, reminds me of the "active defense" style I read in Dominator guides. I am curious to hear from people who have tried dual pistols as a secondary power.

Would a Electric Control Dominator or Kinetic Melee Brute/Tank have what I like in Monks.

Dogan
Costumes anyone?

I plan to have 4 character slots on Infinity. I am also VIP till Thanksgiving so have access to Everything atm. In the future I plan on grabbing Going Rogue & Architect Edition for 3 months of VIP goodness and enough points for those 2 other character slots. Currently I have a Dark/Dark Corruptor Hero, a Nin/Nin Stalker Villan and (While VIP) a Demon Summoning/Time Manipulation Mastermind. In Traditional fantasy RPG's I gravitate towards Rangers, Bards, Monks and Rogues. Generally I don't play a lot of PvP I'm not against it, just really don't go seeking it.

So what i'm looking for is suggested combinations of Archetype and Powers, but there is one catch! One of the things I have to do is take advantage of the Going Rogue powers, whats the point of having the expansion (eventually) if you don't use the powers right? So the eventual two alternate unlocked characters must incorporate these powers.

Dual Pistol (Blaster, Corruptor, Defender-2)
Electric Control (Dominators)
Kinetic Melee (Brute, Scrapper, Stalker, Tank-2)

I am not asking for level by level builds, just combinations and why you think it could be something I might enjoy (and why they're fun for you!). I don't even need a theme as I got a decent imagination to make up solid inspiration for anything really.

@Dogahn
Thanks!
